Our Ruins of Azlant adventurers have found ourselves ashore without a GM! We could use some help.
As noted above, our party has just barely completed Book 2 and our prior GM told us that the party is now level 7. We're unfortunately losing one of our players in the transition as well, but the current team is:
Aurelian Fache – human swashbuckler
Jenner Holystone – dwarven warpriest of Abadar
Sarine Dulciare – human bloodrager
Tettia Tuditanus – human arcanist
...I don't think anyone intended to have a full party of ACG classes, but there it is...
If anyone considering taking on our party wants to review the current campaign, they can find its many pages here.
Our current house rules include:
Feat Taxes
25-point buy (not really a house rule, but good to note)
Background Skills
Hero Points
Legacy Weapons
A few character specific tweaks
I confirmed with our group that we're willing to negotiate on the house rules above if that would help a new GM. Thank you to anyone who takes our plight under consideration!
Let me see if I can make the time... I am just starting my first PbP in the forums...
Glad to hear from interested parties! For now I don't have much more to say, but we'll wait to hear more from you. Let us know if you have questions.
On character tweaks:
I asked to have my character's bloodrage be an unchained version. I wouldn't be entirely opposed to reversing that now (especially given the presence of hero points to stave off an unexpected cease-of-rage death every now and then), but it's worked OK. Now that I've used it some, there are some minor annoyances that came along with the switch (CMD decreasing on rage instead of holding stable, no Fortitude save improvement on rage, ect).
I think our warpriest asked to have Longstrider added to their spell list as well. (They'd have gotten it as a domain spell if they were a cleric and dwarves are slow I think was the rationale.)
I might be forgetting something else.
Legacy Weapons:
The GM said the rules for it were coming from War for the Crown if memory serves. They also said that they'd be able to share their legacy weapon-related notes with a new GM if we found one.
Oh character tweaks:
Tettia had just about finished a custom spell for her repertoire. She doesn't have a name for it yet, other than 'Keep all the crap in my backpack dry while underwater'.
Hopefully she'd be able to keep it. :) :)
Now I'm imagining Tettia jumping in and out of the ocean testing her spell...
I don’t think Aurelian has any tweaks that I recall (also I’m on vacation this week so may not reply quickly for a couple days). The rest seems more than fine; I handle combat in the same way, Arrannai.
Johnny, to be honest, if you’re just starting your first PBP GMing, I’d suggest give yourself some time before picking up more games. Speaking from experience, it’s easy to try to take on too much.
As she steps out of the water for the fifth time, she looks inside her bag. "Oh, poop! I really thought I had it that time."
Brrruuupp.
"No it didn't work. Will you stop making fun of me?"
Yeah, got timing issues already. and seeing Arrannai can help you, I can rest at ease.
Have fun!
Hey all, someone pinged me about potentially taking up this game. They pulled on my heart strings of my hatred of seeing long standing games die :D. (So far I've picked up 3 games that lost their GM and they have been going with me as GM for almost a year now.)
Not wanting to step on any toes if Arrannai really wants to take this over, but offering my service if needed in case Arrannai wasn't certain. In addition to needing to spend some time reading through things, one thing I would need from the players would be a summary of events and the days they occurred on. Nothing too in detail, I just like to try and keep track of major things over the course of a game. As an example you can see a History of Events that I have in one of my games spoilered here
Aside from that I would need a little time to read through the existing gameplay and start prepping book 3. You can check out more about me in my GM Profile and how I generally run things to see if it is even a good fit, though I play with/GM a couple of the players in this game already so would think it would probably work out. I'm generally active weekdays from about 6am-2pm Eastern and may get a post in during the evenings but that is usually family time so can't guarantee. Weekends are hit or miss for me but I try to get one post in over the weekends.
In any case, let me know.
I'm fine if we know you're not on forums during the weekend, Arrannai. As for timing, I wouldn't want to wait too long, because it's hard to get momentum back up, but certainly understand the need to catch up on what's going on. Maybe start up again by December (if not sooner?)?
Honestly, I'm happy with either of you. I've played with Dak before, and there's always some comfort in a known commodity, but I'm certainly willing to expand my gaming circles too. :)
I'm happy with either of you as well! I'm sure that doesn't help you two figure out who should take us on...
Well, Arrannai was here first so if they are up for it and the group has no preference either way I am happy to be here as a backup if needed, just wanted to toss my hat out there if it was needed. Feel free to ping me if the need arises.
Thank you so much, GM Dak.
Arranai, do you want to drop into our current campaign's Discussion thread so we can finish up details there? For ease of reference, we're here.
