Awesome - I'll get the wife on this later. (After work...)
Do I stat with full gestalt or shall we go for the free VMC idea instead? I'm just thinking that Dragonrider is quite strong so the VMC might be more balanced than gestalting it...
Are we playing the Hell's Rebels background as written? Just worth knowing if there's anything specific to build into character backgrounds :)

Other half is exhausted after a long day so won't be posting tonight.
We discussed characters and she said she'd like to revisit an old character of hers who was a vigilante. She was thinking of combining that with, and I quote, "something arcane".
Since she's thinking of that would you be ok with me switching out the dragonriders arcane casting for paladin casting? They use the same progression and it would round the party abilities out a bit more, if you don't mind :)
I'm going to use this alias, although backstory and so forth will change of course.
Stat Rolls:
13
9
16
10
16
14
27 pt buy - not too bad :)
No worries. Lets use this week to get things organized. I want to run it as written because it’s gonna be a challenge for me normally. Maybe once I get moving I’ll change a few things we will see. You can use whicher wont overpower you too much
Hello! I have been sent this way!
I am going to gestalt a vigilante x __________. Not sure if what type yet (cha or int) so will think about it during the week.
I'll get a background etc sorted too - I have a really good idea I want to go for! :D
=15
=15
=9
=14
=10
=14
=23 pt. buy.
Pretty balanced, but will probably go for 25pt. buy build anyway.
welcome to the game. Take all the time you need.
Allllllrighty then. ! :P
Please search for a picture that you’d both like to use for your player token. Email it to januaryfrost1971@yahoo.com. Thank you

Pictures will be coming your way soon.
I'm thinking about incorporating a helmet as part of the vigilante outfit, probably a full face one/something equally dramatic. Do we want to give that some sort of mechanical effect (buy a steel shield and just have it 'count as' a helmet) or just do it as a purely visual thing? :)
Here is Eliona's Alias. The social identity so I can easily keep finding the thread.
Nikolaus sent you an email with my pics in too.
Just finishing writing my background this evening and Eliona is all ready to play from tomorrow onwards!
Excited!
May be a little bit longer. Im trying to organize everything so I can keep track of the game. I found an ap on my tablet that’ll work out great.
Great! I'm all done with background now. Just FYI, this is my vigilante identity. I have a separate alias for it to make it easier to see the difference.
Dragon reporting!
and Vigilante identity.
Still got background things to sort out but crunch is there.
Question for the GM: Having the story feat Nemesis means I need a nemesis. Amber and I have written into the background that Issi had to leave Kintargo suddenly, under mysterious circumstances and I haven't gone any further than that in case you had ideas.
Do you want to decide who my nemesis is and just give me/us an outline of why Issi had to leave or shall I come up with something?
Im putting AP book one and players guide information into the OneNote ap on my tablet. Im nearly completed with that process. I will see if there is a nemesis premade or I’ll find one in the many sourcebooks I have.
Give me a little background on Issi. Was the the character you were going to use?
Where do you live. I notice our times are not very close. I live in Louisiana
Hey GM Dragon,
Just wandering how the prep is going and if you have an approximate idea of when we can start the game.
Really looking forward to it! It will be really fun to play in a party of 2!
I just need to write the first post and add links. I haven't done this in a while so be patient with me. :)
Campaign Link .http://paizo.com/ urlthreads/rzs2uqgw?GM-Dragons-Hells-Rebels-Campaign-for-2#1
We can get started here. We still have some things to work out like Issi leaving Kintargo, nemesis' and map links.
I am currently working on the Villain Codex. There may be something in there.
OOPS! Sorry, I told you it's been a while since I ran a game on here.
Gameplay area up and running
Im off work tomorrow so I should be able to get the map links up and running
That’s ok
Yeah, we tend to post 5-10 times a week each but never post Wednesdays! :)
Im confused about Issi. I thought she had to leave town or are we working up to that point? We’re celebrating our thanksgiving holiday weekend so I will post to thegameplay thread sometime today or tonight
Issi did leave town, but returned 5 days ago. All written in both our backstories :)
Ok. I guess I was just confused. I may have to copy and paste them into my OneNote program
No worries. Thank you for giving me a heads up
Still been crazy - done nearly 50 hours already this week. It was a crazy calendar for the week but it will be better tomorrow. I have not long been home and I am going straight to bed, but will post normally from tomorrow! (I normally post 5-8 times a week!)
Inara
You’re good
There’s no way 3 rolls came up 6
Haha - you should see my luck in real life. I roleplay in a group on Wednesday's and I usually roll 20% 1s on a d20!
Can I just say thanks so far GM Dragon, its so nice to be in a 2 player game with my husband - we haven't played together for ages!
Im really enjoying it so far, and the effort you have put in is really appreciated!
That map is seriously well done - much better than the ones I make in my games!
Ok
Try it now
Let me fix it on my computer. I don’t think it will work on my phone
How do you do XP when running a 2 player game? I know you have to level up accordingling as to not be overpowering during the adventure.

Personally I don't bother with XP - I level my players up when its appropriate, that way I can control how tough/not the encounters are without too much extra book-keeping. It also avoids the 'we have to kill everything - for the XP!' mentality which some players get.
Quick question: are you open to my restatting a bit? I love dragonrider, but I'm having a really hard time working out how Alsaman can play a significant part in Hell's Rebels without being a huge 'there are rebels here!' sign. Would it be a problem if I restat that half? I'm thinking possibly Aerokineticist - will ask Amber and see what she thinks too if it's ok with you :)
Yeah I didn’t really know how a dragon would be all that beneficial because. Not a lot of traveling that I can see.
