Looking for a one-off PF game on Thursday, between 2PM and 10:00PM CST

So I am a pretty experienced PF player/DM, but my girlfriend recently has shown a prospective interest in the game. She would be a first timer and I'd like to take a player role so I can also help her with her character. We'd be playing off the same computer and would be playing separate characters. Looking for a DM and however many players said DM wants to accompany us. I'm looking for a good one-off game to get her some idea of how the game works, and to gauge her interest. After that there might be a possibility of a long-term campaign, depending on her interest level. :)
Bump. :)
Bump again! :)
Ok, ok, you can stop bumping! I'll gladly DM a one-shot for you, but you'll need to provide me with some information: What level characters would you like to use? What type of scenario would you like to play? Would you like to have other people play along, or would you prefer to play with just the two of you? What time during that window works best for you, and how long would you like to play? My House Rules: 25 point buy, or we can roll 4d6 drop lowest (with reroll options if you get unlucky) before the game. I'd prefer if you had characters generated before the game, to save time, but depending on circumstances we can take time pre-game for generation. At the bare minimum, have an idea of what type of character you want to play, and some concept of his/her background and personality. Two traits , no disadvantages. I dislike the following classes and would prefer that you not use them: Gunslinger and Alchemist. (Guns have no place in D&D, and alchemists are just annoying!) Other non-core classes are possible, but note that I have less experience with them. Magic users are 'limited' to the (million or so) spells found on this page , as well as the class/race restrictions thereof. No third-party stuff, please! Basically, anything found in the PRD is acceptable, within those limitations, because I can easily look it up as needed. I use a semi-customized version of Sam's Pathfinder sheet, with macros and stuff, and strongly prefer that over 'manual' dierolls. If you have a Mythweavers sheet that will help save time, as they're fairly similar. It will take about 5-10 minutes to transfer information over if you are fully prepared. I use critical hit and critical miss tables for Nat-1 and Nat-20 rolls in combat, for extra fun and flavor. My games lean towards the tactical combat side of things, but I leave plenty of room for role-play and non-violent solutions if desired. I strongly prefer using Skype for voice chat. Roll20's native system works sometimes, and I've had some success using Google Hangouts, but these would be used only if Skype proves impossible. Finally, although I take the game seriously, I do like humor and can get goofy at times! If you're a 'serious' gamer with no sense of humor, you probably won't enjoy my games! The sooner I get your responses, the sooner I can begin drafting a custom adventure for you and your group! -Phnord
i'd be down with this
Awesome! Sounds like you're a perfect fit for me actually! I DM pretty much the same way, just minus the alchemist restriction. I'm totally cool with that though. :) I do have characters generated for both me and my girlfriend. Mine is a barbarian and her's is a druid. I'd have to scale them up to 25 points though as they were both created with 20 points. :) I would personally like to keep it at a level 1 one-shot so she can get the hang of the basics without the endless possibilities to worry about in later levels. :P Scenario really doesn't matter to me, although something nature related would be nice considering we have a barbarian and a druid. :P I would most definitely like to have more players with us, as many as you'd like! I feel like a one-shot would be most successful with 3-5 players though. :) Any time during that window works perfectly fine, we're willing to work around you within that time. :)
Also Ken, you're more than welcome to join if you have a character ready to go for tomorrow. If you're a new player I can always help you make one. :)
"Something Nature Related" generator activated! Idea 1 of 200 in progress. Processing... Processing... (Heh.) Two more players would be quite welcome! I do have a variety of pre-generated characters available if needed. Should we say, 4pm Central tomorrow? That'll give me time to sleep in and still get stuff set up, and leave plenty of time to play once everyone arrives. -Phnord
Can we do earlier? It's my Birthday tomorrow..I am off of work and my gf is going to take me to dinner when she gets off at 5
2pm would work for me, I suppose. If we end up playing after you have to leave, we can just say your character went home. ps: Happy Birthday!
Ahaha that was a fair stab I'd say. :P 2pm works for us, we're just supposed to be having lunch with family before hand or I would have set it open to an earlier time. :P Also, happy birthday. :)
Hey all, If you need another player to round out the party I'm always up for a Phnord game and am used to teaching newbies. I'll just play whatever we're missing at the time.
Heeeeere's Johnnicus! And that leaves room for one more player... two if they squeeze in tight. New Players Preferred! -Phnord, who isn't quite sure what a 'Phnord Game' is but sure does enjoy running them!
(it's like a normal game, but you're occasionally attacked by a bird riding a bird and weilding two swords)
I am new to pathfinder. But I have a wizard already generated. I played her on a sandpoint campaign last weekend and enjoyed her. I rolled for her stats but can happily roll again or point buy, she was pretty average, highest stat obviously going into intelligence. It'll be 9pm for me as I am a brit but I'm also a student so no worries with staying up late. I was going to try some D&D 5e tonight but the following sold it to me. Johnnicus Maximus said: (it's like a normal game, but you're occasionally attacked by a bird riding a bird and weilding two swords)
So Phnord is this going to be the potential for a longer campaign as the original poster stated or are you fixed on a one shot?
This is pretty strictly a one-shot; sorry, but I have lots of other campaigns going at the moment. I will be sending out the join links momentarily. See y'all soon! -Phnord
Sooo.... The party killed all the ants (and a bat) (and a goblin). The farmer gathered his crops. The cleric healed everybody. The druid talked to an ant. The barbarian made things go splat. The kitty-cat got his lunch. And the mage learned several ways to not use a crossbow. Great game everyone, I had a lot of fun. Hope to see y'all again in the future! PS: Happy Birthday Ken A! -Phnord, with the weird antenna thing sticking out of his head.
Yeah I had a blast, thanks a bunch!
It was a lot of fun guys! Thanks for the run. :) I enjoyed the parts where I was actually able to hit things. ;P
