Greetings all, I am looking for a few individuals to help familiarize myself with the PbP system. I have been GMing for the past 5 years and hope to start accommodating some needs from the threads. I plan on having quick sessions based out of one of my Home Pathfinder Campaigns.

Looking for interest, I plan on posting several times a day and hope I can have some good support.

Thanks all!


Oh, there is loads of interest. Each recruitment thread gets about three to four times the needs of the gm. So pick your story theme, and make yourself a recruitment thread describing your requirements and background to the game, and watch your layers apply.


I'm definitely interested. I like the idea of having some quick sessions as well as long campaigns. Let me know what you want to do and I can whip up a character no problem.

Dark Archive

Dot for interest.

A short and sweet PbP campaign might be something neat to try. :)


interested

Grand Lodge

Count me in.


I would be interested. Would like to know some details however.


If there's room, I'm interested.


I am quite interested.


BloodWolven posting as GM alias:GM Wolf
Now my plan is going to be very different from what I have seen so far on the postings. Those who have shown interest are in the game as of now. The first session will be each PC coming into the Dragon's Draught, an inn of ill repute, though illusions cover the walls and several animated sculptures of dragons are moving.

Your mission if you so choose is to make any character you want and introduce yourself in a unique way showing your personality and roleplaying.

I am not a fan of the buy out systems, and we all have to trust each other anyway so roll 4d6 eight times. Six of these will be your stats, taking the three highest and adding them together.

2 Traits, and one campaign trait... soon to come.

Roll for your money, but your background story is where you can gain more!

Create a quick blurb about your appearance, the more interesting your background story the more bonuses you might stumble upon or requests granted,

Since we have 8 players, this should make things interesting. If you die you are out of the game as a PC, but you can choose to assist me in developing the story line as my minion, most likely creating a reoccurring villain or just a flavorful villain/monster.

We will strictly be using the Pathfinder books to create your characters, I do have a lot of the modules but please just use the books on http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/

The campaign will be in the Inner Sea Campaign setting, though I would like input from each of you where we should be located.

You don't have to make an alias, but i would suggest it once you create your character. Make sure you post it to us when you do! :)

Feel free to ask any questions!

So anyone have an idea how I let you get to the gameplay thread?


Once players post in Gameplay, they show up in the Players tab.

Also you might want to check out this thread for more info on pbp.

Most of all...have fun!

Where would you like us to roll for stats and stuff?


4d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 2, 3) = 10 8

BTW this is Fizzwiddle

Thinking Alchemist...


As to how to create a GP thread all you need to do is make a thred in the gameplay section and it will say something like. You are starting a new campaign which of these threads are linked to it, or something of that nature. The same will happen when you start a thread in the Discussion section. If I recall correctly that is how it goes.

16, 13, 12, 11, 11, 11 (Equivalent of 18 point buy.)

Hmmm. These aren't that bad, but what to play?

Would you be willing to let me play my Dwarven Scarred Witch Doctor who was raised by Orcs alongside his brother, who were found in the wreckage of a dwarven caravan?


I was just about to plug my guide and I find it's already been done for me. My plans for world domination are commencing nicely.

Thanks DM Torillan. Here's your official minion ID card. :)


Actually settled on Alchemist

Prob

STR 9
CON9

Going to be tough survivability, maybe human and give use the bonus on toughness with 18 INT


4d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 4, 2) = 164d6 ⇒ (2, 4, 6, 4) = 164d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 6, 5) = 234d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 3, 1) = 84d6 ⇒ (4, 2, 1, 2) = 94d6 ⇒ (5, 4, 4, 5) = 184d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 2, 1) = 144d6 ⇒ (6, 4, 2, 3) = 15

Sorry about the format, I didn't know doing all the rolls together would come out such a tangled mess.


Show off!


xD

I was debating whether or not to apologize for my 38 point buy before or after somebody said something.

I do apologize, though!


I like helping new PBP GMs get their feet wet, but I don't want to make a character and potentially deprive a new player a spot.

GM, what would you think of me playing a companion to one of the characters? A Raven familiar springs to mind (because they can talk).

If no one has a familiar (or wants a raven as theirs), maybe I could go with something like a Psudodragon with the Young template (their description says they sometimes partner up with adventurers for fun, and Young would bring down their abilities to Familiar level).

Basically, I'm thinking of some kind of scout for the party. Combat abilities would probably be limited to the occasional Aid Another action, but I'm fine with that.

If that's not something you want to include in your game, I'm fine with that too. It just sounded like fun to me.


i also could go a gnome bard with the 16 in CHA insted of int and put the 15 in CON. Could be an idea as well. argh so much to ponder. hard stats there.

Sounds interesting, is the base class Witch? If so, go for it!

Dark Archive

Yes, the base class is indeed Witch. The problem is that Scarred Witch Doctors are supposed to be Orcs, so I want to make sure it's okay with you before I decide to start throwing Xoruk Ironmaw together for this game.

Scarred Witch Doctor archetype.


One more twist to help your characters to have that little boost to be excellent in what you do. You may take away from one stat and give it to another. But the top stat cannot be more than 18.

So for example you have 11 and 15. Take 3 away from 11 and give 15 those 3. So the 11 becomes 8 and 15 becomes 18.

Sorry folks for the adjustments, but that is part of this PbP. :)

I will allow it, just make sure it makes sense in your background story. ;)

Dark Archive

I've been crafting a background for Quomaugh and Xoruk for a good while now, and the short story is that they were a pair of dwarven infants found in the wreckage of a dwarven caravan by a bunch of really, really dumb orcs. Instead of deciding to eat them, the orcs' shaman decided to raise the two, and is stumped as to why they're so short and stout.

They're brighter than most of the rest of the tribe put together (not that that's saying much) and consider themsleves orcs, though are obviously aware that they're not the same as the others.

Xoruk is in line to be the next shaman of the tribe, and has been trained for many years to replace the current, aging witch doctor.

I love ideas like this, first we will see if someone wants a familiar... then we will go from there. Any suggestions?

ah that might help!

WIS12
CHA 5

Thinking about a nerdy type, always beaten up growing up, which toughened him up and taught him to run (thus accounting for higher DEX and adequate CON), learned through books and discovered how to toughen himself via magic. City dweller. I am still spitballing this and will of course accept guidance from GM


I would love to have had a pseudo dragon traveling with me!

Dark Archive

Yeah, and if we can move stats around, I'll go from:

11 Str
13 Dex
18 Con
12 Int
13 Wis
9 Cha

to

12 Str (+1)
16 Dex (+3)
18 Con
12 Int
12 Wis (-1)
6 Cha (-3)

Beyond this, it's just a matter of building Xoruk's background and personality.

Also, rolling for gold: 3d6 ⇒ (4, 5, 5) = 14 x 10 = 140g. Pretty awesome.


Sorry, I just checked back on this, I'm on my phone so I won't be able to roll until later tonight, but I just wanted to throw out that I might try to play my Human Paladin Ardamir, follower of Heronius! I'll have a sheet up with my rolls later tonight.


3d6 ⇒ (2, 6, 6) = 14=140

Alchemist money roll.


I'm wanting to create a martial two-weapon fighting character, though I'm not certain of the role I should fill yet.

I will, however, be avoiding feats/options that tie me to specific weapons as I want the character to be able to enjoy utilizing loot.

Would you consider a brand new PbP player? I'd be learning on the job?

I may have not been clear, but you can only take away from ONE stat and give it to another ONE stat.


If that was in reference to my roll, my addition was from the racial modifier, I didn't take away from any rolls.

Sorry mkueker, I have closed the game to recruitment. Send me a private message and we might invite you later.


Alright, I believe I have finished my character. This is all posted under Ardamir's alias, but I will post it here for ease of reading.

Description and Back Story:

Ardamir is a filled out 5’10” 180lbs of pure nobility. He walks around with an air of confidence and a dash of humility which can be seen in his stormy blue eyes. His tan, rough skin shows lends credence to his long hours of training and his extensive travel. You can tell from the look on his face that he is a generally serious man, but a mug of ale after a good battle gets him going on a good tale or two of his heroic life. Still young and trying to find his place amongst the paladins of Iomedae, he sets out always to find new and sometimes dangerous challenges to conquer in the name of his beloved god.

If you could pin one word on the life and mission of Ardamir, that word would be justice. Since his childhood he was raised and trained in the light of and guidance of the 11 Acts of Iomedae. His father was a paladin of Iomedae and his father before him. In Ardamir’s mind there was no other choice but to carry on the tradition.

Ardamir’s father, now in retirement, always instilled in him the understanding of justice. The way he explained it was this ”Son, we follow in the ways of Iomedae. This is not the only way. It is one of many, but it is the way we choose. Some other ways may seem strange to you, sometimes even “wrong,” but it is not up to us to judge whose ways are right and whose ways are wrong. The only thing that we can judge is people’s ability to live free. Equality is not always something that makes sense, because it has always been that Kings live richly and peasants live with less, but if a King rules his people wisely and does not persecute them but let’s them live freely, he is just. If a man does work for another man and charges him a fair price, he is just. But the moment that one man takes advantage of another, the moment a ruler takes more than he needs from his people for greed alone, then he is no longer just. Justice may have many ways of being understood by the wise, son, but if you can use any sort of measuring stick to judge what is just and what is not, it is this: “You will know justice when you see it.” If you stay true to your teaching and to the god which you serve, then this statement will always be true.”

So with that understanding Ardamir has lived his life for the renown of his great god Iomedae and in the pursuit of justice over all things. In order to do this he has set himself on a personal quest to understand the meaning of his father’s words himself, by going out into the world to “see” justice and injustice alike. He passes no town, no tavern or inn without going in and quietly listening to the people and hearing of their lords, their kings, and their tradesmen, asking a few questions sometimes about their feelings and their sense of freedom, how they feel they are treated and understood by those over them and around them. When it seems right to him, he acts. Dispatching monsters and bandits and challenging lords and nobles alike, Ardamir pursues justice with the hope that Iomedae would show favor upon him, bless his mission and give peace to the people he meets.

It was on these travels that Ardamir happened upon the Dragons Draught, a place of which he had heard of long before he arrived. Knowing that this particular inn had a reputation for shady characters and underhand dealings, he felt as if place might help him to further understand a world that is considered unjust. His hand quickly going to the hilt of his Greatsword at the first glance he took of the animated decoration, he just as quickly withdrew it at the realization of what they were. Taking his usual position in any given tavern, back to the furthest corner with a view of the door but an ear close enough to the staff and regulars to catch the news, he orders a draught of ale and waits in silence to hear whatever this place might tell him.
