We are looking for story motivated players to join us for our Hell's Rebels game. Game time is weekly on Tuesdays 5:00 PM EST and ends typically around 9:00PM EST. The game is already in progress, but it is very early on story-wise--we're still level two so there wouldn't be much missed in the grand scheme of the overarching story. We are losing one of our players in about a month due to a change of schedule. About us: We are a group of players of different age groups who have been playing together in this campaign since December. Yes, you read that right, we're still level two after playing since December. The members of our group are very experienced in Pathfinder as a system, with the GM and some members having more than a decade of experience individually. We are LGBT friendly. Our group plays with a focus on role-play interactions, character development, interpersonal relations, and the weight of moral consequences. Some of the subject matter in our game is very heavy and it gets primary focus. For example, we spent an entire session focusing on the Chelaxian holiday of Loyalty Day, what it entailed, beginning with an infernal sermon at the Temple of Azmodeus, going through a public fair involving infernal blessings, and ending with an execution of scapegoats that were falsely convicted of the crime accused. The atmosphere was heavy and emotional--the GM does fantastic character work for the NPCs and you could really feel the plight of those involved. This campaign is focused on a tyrannical infernal regime and topics include slavery, discrimination, torture, ill treatment of citizens, and more. There's a reason we're rebelling! Party make-up includes a heretic inquisitor of Milani focused in archery, a spell dancer magus, and a shadow oracle. Our current objectives as a party have been to avoid physical conflict as much as possible, preferring to use stealth and guile to resolve encounters where possible. Failing that, diplomacy. Social strata wise, the remaining players are all lower class citizens of Kintargo--a dock worker, a book store clerk, and a former maid. Those familiar with Hell's Rebels may note that there are options to include characters of noble lineage as well, if that is desired. Gender wise, we have two female characters and one male. One of the PCs is very keen on avoiding violence where possible while another is heavily opposed to slavery and the use of torture on either side of this conflict. What we are looking for in players: patient and dedicated players with a mind for story telling--both for their own characters and collaboratively for the over-arching story as a whole. Experience with Pathfinder 1E is preferred, but not required. We play with de-emphasis on the mechanics in many cases; compelling role-play resolves encounters more often than dice rolls. Every player will have the opportunity for spotlight every session, though what each player does with that spotlight is up to them. We explore our characters' emotions and thoughts regularly via our recap system and in character as well. Expect some degrees of drama, both external and within the party. Note: This is strictly in character. It is worth emphasizing that our group plays very slowly. We often joke that we play in slower than real time. If you as a player have interest in playing out any scene or encounter, you have that option and it is encouraged. You will almost certainly not be pressured on time for anything that you desire. From the start of this campaign in December, we have perhaps only played less than two weeks of in-game time. We have spent a few sessions just interacting as a party without dealing with outside encounters. It is important that any applicants expect to play for the long haul. Obviously times are uncertain and things can change in our lives, but we are all committed to seeing our stories through to the end. At our current pace, it will likely take one to two years to complete the AP. For those interested in joining us, please send us the following either here in this forum or via direct message to me: - Tell us about yourself. Details such as your age, your role-play experience, preferred pronouns, and other things that you feel are relevant for us to know. - A brief synopsis of your favorite character and campaign. Emphasize on what made this character and story your favorite. Try to sell your emotional range, story telling, and inter-connectivity with your party. - What kind of story you hope to tell in our game, both for your own character and what direction you'd like to take the city of Kintargo. Note: This doesn't mean that you need to have a character concept prepared necessarily--it's fine to wait until after we speak to decide that. This can be generalized if you prefer. Since our campaign is already in motion, post-interview applicants are welcome to listen in on our sessions past or present (we record our sessions) before deciding if they'd like to join. The only real deadline is that we'd like to get our new player(s) integrated before the month is over. Please feel free to message me if you have any questions. We look forward to hearing from you all!
