Former players of "Absalom Noir" welcome!
I'd like to take up the mantle as GM, keeping this campaign a small 4 players, but am currently ordering the books, so let's have a little "session 0".
Two ideas:
#1) Use the Free Archetype variant rule
#2) Keep Lavanna as an NPC "abstraction" but with her Divine Font activated by PCs in Encounter / Exploration Mode
#3) Open to another idea?
Simple majority vote here, I'll vote to break a tie. Anything else we need to discuss?
Cheers.
#1 - looks good to me.
#2 - I am ok either way, but having a way to heal up is nice. NPCs often get to feeling like carrying a balloon with you. Maybe if one of us ran her more like a companion? Otherwise, maybe a wand or something would suffice.
Thanks for doing this.
#1: Love it. Love this option.
#2: I liked the character but don’t need you to double duty it. I’m fine either way as well.
#3: Would the Ancestral Paragon path work? I love both of these options for diverse characters.
Hey gang!
Gunna pull the Lavanna option off the table. Please vote for one:
#1) Free Archetype
#3) Ancestry Paragon
Vote for option 1, Free Archetype.
I'm here!
1. What would the Free Archetype be? Would it be individualized, or universal - like a representation some sort of "guard training?" I would probably go for Marshal, if it were individualized.
I think I'd favor one over three, though, just 'cause the human ancestry feats don't appeal to me as much.
My impression was individualized. And Marshal is an awesome choice.
Individualized.
I ordered books 1 and 2, which should be on their way.
Abi @ ??
Drogyn @ Archetype
Greyjay @ Archetype
Scarlett @ ??
Have we heard from Abi?
Yes, now that I'm able to make aonprd work again, Marshal's definitely suited to Greyjay, both thematically and statistically.
I think the free archetype works for me.
Free Archetype it is.
Though I haven't heard from Abi in a week, going to give her until my books arrive to make contact.
At which time I will open the campaign and pick up somewhat where we left off.
After this campaign stopped, I ended up starting a champion in another campaign. Would you mind terribly if I keep the same character but just change up the martial class I’m playing?
Hey gang,
Just heard from Abi, who expressed tentative interest.
Still waiting on my books.
And yes, my preference is that you keep your character's general personality at the least, but if you'd like to revise your build while you promote to 2nd level (with Free Archetype!), feel free to consolidate these changes.
I will open an actual gameplay thread once I've had a chance to read the books, as I like to kick things off with a hitch.
#107, Iomar "Greyjay" Youbol, Godless Graycloak Oracle (Battle) / Marshal
#145, Drogyn Locke, Detective (??) / (???)
#308, Scarlet Carlotta, Lotus Guard(?) Bard (Polymath) / (???)
#363, Abi Klebrirndi, Learned Guard Prodigy Investigator (Forensic Medicine) / (???)
Cheers!
Hi guys - glad to see that this is going ahead. I think Free Archetype is a great idea. Currently deciding between building on one of Abi's existing strengths with the Medic archetype or adding some versatility with a magic archetype such as Wizard multiclass or Scroll Trickster.
I am afraid I will lose track of this thread - any chance we can open the gameplay to dot in?

Medic would go well with less healing in the group now and that being your Investigator specialty.
I went with Barbarian with Rogue dedication. I wanted to stay in the frontline/tank role, so this fit. And Rogue really allows for the skill side to get better as well. I took Battle Medicine as a skill fest at 2nd to help on the healing side as well, and took Godless Healing to go with it which really fits the new build as well as the group dynamic.
Hopefully the books come in soon. If you would like the PDFs, I could purchase the first book and email it to you, if you would like. And I second the request to start the gameplay tab as keeping track of this thread is easier with one and discussing this in discussion.

Cool, I'll go with Medic then
Hey folks,
Still waiting on the shipping - be a couple weeks before we begin I imagine.
I will open Gameplay at such a time.
Cheers.
Hey folks,
After two weeks in shipping purgatory, the books have finally been sent off.
Maybe another week or two out!
Cheers.
I wish I could send you my copies, but that's, uh, not practical in the least.
I got my books yesterday!
Some time to read them now - work picks up this weekend - then OutPost starts - I'm thinking another couple weeks, at which time I will open Gameplay.
I'd like to hear from each of you to confirm interest, as well as progress making 2nd level, please.
Cheers!

I'm still interested and think I have leveled up to 2nd correctly on my profile.
I’m still in and will have finished levelling in time.
I'm still interested, and all leveled up. My apologies for the lateness here, I don't post on Saturdays.
Another Update - OutPost is starting soon, and either next or the following weekend I am looking to assemble my slides.
At which time, I will be ready to open Gameplay.
Hang in there!
Looking forwards to it!
Likewise!
Hey gang - I'm going to shelve this until my schedule frees up - unsure at this time when that will be - hopefully soon - but time keeps slipping away from me to get this properly kicked off.
I will send PMs at such a time as I am finally ready for Recruitment and Continuation.
Happy ☘️ and Cheers!
Sad to hear it, but hope things clear up for you soon!
