Requesting PF game (seeking DM + Players)

[BelGareth]

Just read the Pathfinder Racial alternate classes and fell in love with the Stonelord.

I would like to request the following for a prospective DM:

• Pathfinder Game system
• Allow the Stonelord racial Archetypes
• Have an actual storyline
• be mid level

[The Witch-King]

I miss Pathfinder and would love to join a game.

[Larpus]

Since someone else is interested in this...hey, count me too!

[shugyosha]

interest in as a player. What do you mean mid level?

[Dramiscius]

I think mid lvl means around 10ish, since that's "midway", also interested as a player. Haven't had much chance to do more then oogle the pf books.

[Athaleon]

I'm also interested, most pathfinder games on this site tend to start at first level so it'll be fun to use some of the more advanced class features.

[BelGareth]

Haha, I gave up on this thread a while ago!

Love to see interest in the game, hope we can find a DM.

By mid level, I mean 10th through 14th

[shugyosha]

I think of mid level as 8-12. High enough for a GM to throw interesting stuff but not so high as to see god like.

I like your version also.

[DrK]

I would appreciate the chance to be a player rather than a DM for a chanhe.

[DrK]

I would appreciate the chance to be a player rather than a DM for a change. A story with no homebrew would be nice. Ive still nod explored that much PF. And there ate lots of archetypes.

[Gwynfrid]

I already DM one game and don't have time to run another, but I'm interested as a player.

I'm in the same camp as DrK: I prefer no homebrew, and also, no 3.5 mix. Adding more rules makes things much more complicated, and opens the door to cheese, especially at mid and high levels.

There are more than enough options in PF alone. Also, the full rules all are available online, all in one place, and at no cost.

[Starbin]

Dare I put down my interest and get my hopes up for another game?

Oh why not!

EDIT: Player only ... Not quite smart enough to GM

Indeed, while I enjoy homebrew I feel as though it has more of a place in 3.5 then pathfinder (due to the wonky balance 3.5 already has :P).

I'll put down my interest, probably as a gunslinger but need details before i generate a character sheet, and a little on the proposed setting for the character.

Also, will the advanced races book be allowed ? or no, it's actually balanced so far as creation goes (especially compared to the +LA system in 3.5 with things like templates lol).

[shugyosha]

is advanced races available on line?

Yes. I don't think it has any balance issues, but allowing it or not is a decision that belongs to the DM, if we find one. I'm merely expressing preference.

[Voice_C]

I'm down, if you don't mind a newbie :). I'm thinking maybe a Paladin or Inquisitor or something like that for this one.

[Gwynfrid]

Newbies welcome. Even more welcome, if they come with a DM

[Voice_C]

D: You speak evil! I have the DM skills of a mute with no hands who is generally awful at running campaigns

[Ralasha]

That would still be a DM. Which this game seems to lack in entirety.

At the moment my life is a bit hectic. But I'll DM if you don't find one within the next week.I'll be available to post regularly Next Saturday or sunday (I hope).

If I do run... I'll be allowing Archetypes. Advanced races would have to be submitted for examination before approval is given.

4d6b3 or 36 PB For stats.
Level 8, You'll probably reach level 14-16.

You'll be gaining experience both as a group, and on individual basis. So level discrepancies may appear. I can of course, accommodate individual character goals.

[Ralasha]

Having now calculated out my old powerhouse character, and seen what is possible, and considering the average 'point buy' of 4d6b3... In example:

Spoiler

(4d6b3)[11]
(4d6b3)[17]
(4d6b3)[8]
(4d6b3)[11]
(4d6b3)[15]
(4d6b3)[9]

(4d6b3)[13]
(4d6b3)[15]
(4d6b3)[15]
(4d6b3)[12]
(4d6b3)[11]
(4d6b3)[13]

(4d6b3)[17]
(4d6b3)[18]
(4d6b3)[12]
(4d6b3)[11]
(4d6b3)[17]
(4d6b3)[12]

25 point buy is below average scores in comparison to the 4d6b3. I'll change it, taking it down, but not that much. 29 PB.

4d6b3 averages 30 pb in PF. 29 PB should, therefor, be fair, yes?

Especially since a rolled character can get as much as a 48+ PB character with approximately a 27% chance.

[Ralasha]

I'm sorry, I said 4d6b3 OR pb. You rolled. Enjoy. It's like life. You can step in front of that bus, your injury suit might make you rich... or you might die. But, when you take chances, you deal with the consequences. This is how my DMs have always run, and this is how I will run. You rolled, so sleep in the bed you made. Reap what you sew (past tense).

[BelGareth]

This sounds great, just want to clarify one thing, are you for sure DM'ing know or still waiting the week?

If its the latter could we get a 16? (pretty please?)

[Voice_C]

I think I'll do the rolls. It seems simpler lol. Should I use the forum roller or just do this at home? (I have a Dice Roller on my phone)

[Ralasha]

The latter. Next week (Probably). 16?

Alright, lets see... gaming medium here, game obvious... setting... let's play in... it's a secret. homebrew... well, technically any advanced race is homebrew... and those are subject to acceptance. Starting wealth by level.

House rules? no... none I can think of. the 16 are necessary?

1. What game system are you running (D&D, Call of Cthulu, Palladium, GURPS, etc.), and if applicable what edition (Original, Classic, Revised, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 5th, 10th, etc.)? Pathfinders... duh.

2. What 'type' or variant of game will it be (i.e. "Shadow Chasers" or "Agents of Psi" for d20 Modern)? What is the setting for the game (eg. historic period, published or homebrewed campaign setting, alternate reality, modern world, etc.)? variant irrelevant.

3. How many Players are you looking for? Will you be taking alternates, and if so, how many? 3-5.

4. What's the gaming medium (OOTS, chat, e-mail etc.)? gitp.

5. What is the characters' starting status (i.e. experience level)? level 8.

6. How much gold or other starting funds will the characters begin with? by level.

7. Are there any particular character classes, professions, orders, etc. that you want... or do not want? What are your rules on 'prestige' and/or homebrewed classes? meh.

8. What races, subraces, species, etc. are allowed for your game? Will you allow homebrewed races or species? 'Prestige' races or species? advanced races by acceptance (from me).

9. By what method should Players generate their attributes/ability scores and Hit Points? 4d6b3 OR 29 pb. Max at 1st, then 3/4.

10. Does your game use alignment? What are your restrictions, if so? Alignment. Standard.

11. Do you allow multi-classing, or have any particular rules in regards to it? Don't care. Any relevant penalties apply.

12. Will you be doing all of the die rolling during the course of the game? Will die rolls be altered, or left to the honor system? If players can make die rolls, which ones do they make, how should they make the rolls, and how should they report them? I will roll for players when secrecy is needed.

13. Are there any homebrewed or optional/variant rules that your Players should know about? If so, list and explain them, or provide relevant links to learn about these new rules. n/a

14. Is a character background required? If so, how big? Are you looking for anything in particular (i.e. the backgrounds all ending up with the characters in the same city)? Background is acceptable, but not required. I yself tend to build my character's background and personality as I play it to give it a more organic feel.

15. Does your game involve a lot of hack & slash, puzzle solving, roleplaying, or a combination of the above? A combination of all of the above.

16. Are your Players restricted to particular rulebooks and supplements, or will you be allowing access to non-standard material? What sources can Players use for their characters? Rulebooks and supplements. Non-standard materials by review and acceptance only.

I think I had already stated all of that, but I suppose having it all in one place is handy for the reading/browsing/omg long thread alternative.

[shugyosha]

hit points? Roll or average?

[Ralasha]

3/4 hit die. Then add bonuses. Max at 1st.

[DrK]

I've always been a fan of rolling....

(4d6b3)[13]
(4d6b3)[14]
(4d6b3)[9]
(4d6b3)[8]
(4d6b3)[11]
(4d6b3)[12]

See what bed I have to lie in!

Edit: well that sucked! As its the equivalent of an 8PB!!

[Voice_C]

Well, if he's doin public rolls, I might as well do the same lol :) Here's hoping!
(4d6b3)[17]
(4d6b3)[9]
(4d6b3)[8]
(4d6b3)[8]
(4d6b3)[15]
(4d6b3)[10]

Edit: Well dang. :/ At least I got a 17

[shugyosha]

My average rolls end up being about 15 to 17 pb with 4d6b3.
