carrion crown interest check (ash vs evil dead feel)
Using Commonplace guns rules- (there will be advanced firearms)
Wild west alternate earth setting. (deadlands will be the most closely related map wise.) where people know that there are evil things roaming the streets so its very much a mix of gothic, steampunk, wild west. Gods will be any you want, you will need to write a background to them, if you don't want to be a catholic priest or Christian.
Races allowed will be Human, dhampier, skinwalker, tielfing, Dwarves, Fetchling, asimar, (if using a varient teifling/Aasimar ability roll twice. one is your abiltiy and the other your physical feature, you chose which number is which, fetchling wont get Shadow blending, to bring down their power. or you can use a feat to get it.) I chose the races that I felt most closely looked human for the feel.
I'm looking for very much a Ash vs evil dead feel. their will be some tech elements, but you wont start out with them, but they will be introduced at different times. (lighter, Flashlight, advanced shotgun, chainsaw, to name a few.)
I will be changing a little to the AP. so I don't care if you played it before. you don't have to take a campaign trait just write your background on why your going to visit lorrimar I am using that it will be his 50th birthday party. He is a former monster/undead hunter. you can use the campaign traits as ideas you can have up to 3 traits if you choose a drawback. I am also open to story feats. (with DM permission)
here is a example of some archtypes that I think have a good feel for the campaign to give ideas, Savage technologist, Constructed pugilist, Maverick, Cad, Lycanthrope hunter, Archeologist, Amnesiac, Battle host, Seige gunner, Tortured Paladin, Vengeance hunter, Vizer, Drunken master, Sensei, Skinshaper, Blight Druid, Roaming exorcist, channeler of the unknown, living Grimoire, beastmorph, gun chemist, vivisectionist, etc........
Classes ideas that would be good fits-
Pryokentist, Vampire hunter, Occultist, Mesmerist, Barbarian, Cleric, ranger, Shifter......
Just checking on interest..... if I get a lot of response ill probably open it. I will be looking more for RPers that are into inter party talking so if that wont interest you were you post a line or two all the time please don't apply or DOT.
I could be down for a game like that. No solid ideas at the moment, but I'll start mulling it over
I keep wanting to play a Magus (Eldritch Archer) who uses a firearm. Sounds like that might be a viable concept here, so I’m interested.
Carrion Crown really begs to be moved out of a fantasy setting. I myself have toyed a lot with the idea of moving it into an 1800esque setting.
This could be very interesting!
My goodness! If I wasn't already in a CC game, I would be Divine Chainsaw Princess Elizabeth!
Oh my :-)
dot, dot, dot,
yeah, a gun-toting undead hunter... I'm so in. Would it be more 'steam punk/early 20th century' or more 'modern setting/late 20th century'?
I would like to express my interest. Thinking of playing an Urban Barbarian. A librarian who read a book that should not have been opened (Forbidden Knowledge (Geb) trait) and has been plagued with rage issues ever since. Also, undead and demons seem to be showing up with distressing regularity in his vicinity, so he has traveled to visit the Professor, only to find that he has recently passed.
I'll dot for interest as well.
Groovy
This sounds amazing! All three of my Evil Dead DVDs are worn rather thin, and I agree, this AP would move well into a gun-toting setting.
I would love to take a go at this and redo this character into a rogue duel wielding hand guns...
Gun smuggler comes to mind for that....
I will probably also use Called shot variant rules. because I want people to fear and do called shots to hack off limbs for a very gritty and gory setting.
So also be prepared for Crotch shots (improved dirty trick), missing limbs, And I'm working on my own variant of Deadite right now. Where you have to kill it with decapitation. after taking it down or with a called shot at the beginning.
Oh my :-)

Its going to be close to Deadlands setting. where not as much steampunk, but will have tech elements because the evil in the world slowed down the technology or sped it up in other areas. but a very western early Unitied States ol' west style where people expect you to have gun, and the rules of the west apply. (ownership being 9/10ths of the law,) (Wyatt Eerp or Billy the kid could make a appearance.)

Cool, Now I know what ideas to dust off, Thinking of basing something off of Kaetenay from ‘Penny Dreadful'
How would Ghosts, Haunts and the like be dealt with?
Same as regular pathfinder rules
Sounds like fun, I like gun heavy games.
I'm thinking of some form of Nun-with-gun Cleric.
Same as regular pathfinder rules
Which kinda means non-casters will have troubles early on.
Super interested
The following question comes to mind since guns are commonplace and the setting is Deadlandish. What would your ruling be for Exotic Weapon Proficiency (Firearms) acquired outside the Gunslinger class feature. Do you have to take EWP for each type of gun, or would taking EWP (Firearms) cover all firearm weapons (Not the default interpretation).
Sorry I should have been more specific, off the PFSRD commonplace gun rules are-
Commonplace Guns: While still expensive and tricky to wield, early firearms are readily available. Instead of requiring the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat, all firearms are martial weapons. Early firearms and their ammunition cost 25% of the amounts listed in this book, but advanced firearms and their ammunition are still rare and cost the full price to purchase or craft.
I started a recruitment Thread, I felt there was enough interest to see what yall have.
