Want to be Players:

Previous Players (Times Played)

I have set up the top for a reason. I want to keep this going, so I want a way to keep track who is playing, who says they are watching, and who played previous campaigns. To be fair, all future games will mentor to the lowest level in the campaign. I will keep copies of all character sheets at all levels to facilitate this. There will be a steam gift in the campaign somewhere, it is random. So, on to
Character creation:
TBD - Currently leaning twoards hero lab. Thinking of buying it myself, so if you want to create a character, you can find time to chat with me, and I can stream your character creation. There is the Hero Lab Starter Edition that I'm evaluating for its use.

d20 PFSD Character creation This will help you on creation.

I'm doing a point buy system, it is explained on that page, ask if you need help. This prevents anyone from saying, hey I rolled 6 18's, how lucky am I? We will be doing High Fantasy, so you start with 20 points.
Current Campaign:
There isn't one, this is the begging of this whole idea. I will post the intro here when I have it, as well as a link to the first post of that campaign. This is thinking ahead for when this might have gone on a while.
Past Campaigns:
None, duh. Future space savor.
Real Life Prize looted in game:
5 steam bucks. Use it how you please. This is still work in progress, but yes I plan on giving away loot in game somehow. I have ideas.
Final notes:
This website will be your friend.

    So, for those who are playing, just come up with what kind of character you want to play. Name is good as well.

    So, I could say I wanted to play an intelligent character, maybe they have lots of knowledge from studying, but due to this they don't fight as well. They didn't spend time outside.

    Or the flip side, I want to play a character who is very good at fighting. Might not be as smart, because she got her head hit one to many times.

    Or I want to play a drunk. A very lucky drunk, who never gets lots of gold, but never has to many issues. We can go from there.

    We are going to do high fantasy, so 20 points. I will add that to original post.

    Also, I thought about it, and I'm going to make it 5 dollars steam bucks that you win. This way you can save it, spend it, do whatever you want. It will also be easier to budget a fixed amount as I want to do this multiple times.

    OP updated.

    I peered through the srd a bit. I have a few ideas. Do we have a list of gods? I haven't looked through the default gods at all yet.

    A barbariany cleric. Maybe using the Crusader archetype for a little more hitting stuff and less spellcasting. I could be a mad-eyed primitive shaman. You would think druids would be the way to go for a shaman but if you don't want animal friends/shapeshifting a cleric looks better.

    A cleric with the Innuendo] subdomain. A Crusader archetype only gets one domain, so I would be a cleric really focused on sacred Innuendo.

    A freebooter-style ranger looks okay, since I would get to shout "Give 'im a second smile, boys (and/or girls)!" and then everyone gets bonuses to mangle that person. Unlike a regular ranger they don't have the "I hate constructs but we haven't fought any" problem. I don't understand how their Quarry ability would work at higher levels but we aren't at higher levels.

    Straight-up paladin looks good. Also the default paladin auras look better at team support than the Holy Tactician variant. I've never played a paladin before. I've also never played a monk. Hmmm.

    No I do not have a list. I'm new to being GM, and why I'm good at making up stories, am new to all the parts. I'm leaning twoards getting that hero program and than anyone who wants to make a char can make one proxey through stream. It looks like it auto does a lot of things, so you can't screw up your character.

    That sounds doable to me. I'll try to settle on something first.

    Downloaded the free Hero Lab Starter Edition as I haven't played with the Pathfinder rules before. Checking it out.

    Aside from that, do we know what kind of a schedule we're looking at? I ask because I don't want to get working with you on this only to find out I can't make the schedule and then have set everything behind because I'm lame.

    I'm on EST and typically have most weeknights free currently, with weekends opening up again in August. I think you have a 3 hour difference. If that doesn't fit, please grab someone from the waiting list. I'll still make a character for when I can play because this still intrigues the heck out of me.

    I'm looking at doing this on a Monday. This is if my work continues to not have me work on those days. with this, it can be anywhere from 1 pm PST Monday afternoon to sometime that night. I had originally figure on doing a couple play sessions, but I have no idea how fast it will go.

    This is all a work in progress, so I am going to keep it as such.

    Well good news, I have the first area almost done. The second area done. A world for this campaign. Now to tackle the later part of it. It is slow going on Roll20, but I think it will be worth it. I'm going to make dummy tokens for 6 people until we get characters done.

    I typically get home from work around 2pm PST (5pm EST) on average, but Mondays are a great night since I typically come home to play games and this, this is a game!
    I'll start banging out a character concept or two this week! Yay for fun!

    I took a look through the links in the OP and I'm pretty lost even with spending some time with older PC DnD RPGs. Getting a chance to watch some of this play out should hopefully clear up a few things.

    http://www.twitch.tv/dyasalure/b/548102298 I recorded hero lab. I think this will make it way easier for everyone to make a character. I plan on buying it, so you can make a character view my stream.

    Just so everyone is clear, I plan on buying it myself. So if no one wants to buy it, I will sit down with you at a time you can, and live stream it, and you can tell me how you want to make a character.

    So working on the NPC's for the first town in hero labs. It makes it faster, and once I have them done I have a blacksmith, cleric, shop keep, etc for all towns. Just diffrent bios. So, I'm still working on this. Also look at some encounters you might find. What fun is a game without combat?

    The great thing is, I'm a card-carrying member of the Pathfinder Society- this is pretty much my RPG game of choice, so it ought to be no trouble to come up with a character idea and create them. No experience with Hero Lab, though, so I'll poke around with it.

  • DyasAlureDyasAlure SeattleRegistered User regular
    You don't have to use hero lab, I just figured it might be easier for those who are a card carrier. I am more than willing to stream a whole character creation to help those less table top veterans. But I'm glad you are. That being said, please keep it to basic rules. As I don't have all the expansions, I want to be able to use hero lap, and import your character.

    Just wanted to post that I'm following this thread, and coming up with some character ideas at the moment. I'm in GMT time though, so hopefully that won't be too much of a problem for the game.

    Yea, gotta learn sometime and with PA people is always a good way to go.

    It seems like my D&D group is going to meet every Tuesday or Wednesday so those days wont be good for me. Usually I get off of work around 3pm mountain time so I don't have to deal with daylights saving.
