In order to save people the time, I'll
get this out of the way before I go any further. This is NOT a game
for new players to learn Pathfinder. If you are new, please don't
waste your time applying to this game. If you are looking for
something like that, keep an eye out for games that Ajax runs. He
runs them semi-frequently and always seems to have a good turn out.
As the title states I am looking for
people to join a Rappan Athuk group. For those who do not know,
Rappan Athuk is a mega dungeon that was originally released in 2000
for D&D 3.0. I will be running the Pathfinder version of Rappan
Athuk that was released in 2012.
Rappan Athuk is intended to take
players from level 1 to 20. It is basically one very long dungeon
crawl. I'm not against taking measures to avoid burning out on what is just a huge
dungeon crawl. Taking a week off or breaking away from Rappan Athuk
to run a one-shot module, or to play a completely different system,
is not out of the question. However, nearly all of the time spent
playing this game will be spent in the dungeon so you should be
prepared for that.
This dungeon is not easy. It will be
difficult. You will die. Your party members will die. You will need
to keep multiple characters in reserve for the aforementioned deaths.
I am not setting out to explicitly kill characters but that is what
happens in the halls of Rappan Athuk. No punches will be pulled. No
rolls will be fudged.
As mentioned in the title, the game will be played on Saturdays, starting on March 8th, and the time is currently up for discussion. I'd like to start
sometime around 1 or 2pm EST and go for at least 4-5 hours. You
should be able to regularly commit to at least 4 hours of time. If
the group wants to play for longer than that I'll most likely be fine
with it. If you have to leave but the group wants to push on we will continue on without you. One of the other
players will play your character. If that happens I cannot guarantee
the safety of your character but I don't feel like it's fair to cut
the game short on 4 or 5 other people because you have to leave.
If you're still interested after all of
that, you'll find some basics about character creation below. There
will also be a link to a Google doc that contains some of the
reasoning for my decisions along with some finer details on character
creation and what I expect from my players. Also in the Google doc
will be a link to some houserules I'd like to try in this game to see
how they work.
