Hello everyone, As the title says, I'm looking to run a PF1e game where we play the Rise of the Runelords: Anniversary Edition adventure path from book 1 to (hopefully) the end of book 6. I would like to run for a group of 4 using both roll20 for the VTT and Discord for voice/Syrinscape. Ideally, looking to play weekly every Thursday starting around 6ish PM CST for about 4 hours per session. I do work retail so there is a chance that we may start later, but have been told that I should generally have Thursdays off, or at the very least not have to close. I understand this is a bit short notice but I would like to shoot for session 1 to be this coming Thursday, June 2nd. I feel in lieu of a session 0 we can communicate through Discord about character creation and the like and get to know each other a bit. Speaking of character creation, stats will be rolled using the 4d6 method (drop the lowest number) but there's a twist. More details if you join. Anything published by paizo is fair game with the exception of Chained Summoner because, even though I have never played Pathfinder as a PC, I know it's super busted. As long as your character choices can be referenced on Archives of Nethys, It is allowed, though feel free to use d20pfsrd, just make sure you are not using 3rd party material. Elephant in the Room is in effect As for my GMing history and style: Not much to say for my Pathfinder history, I have never been a PC. I have played in 5e games and also ran some. I have listened to Pathfinder actual play podcasts as well. Most recently, I was running RotR for a group and we were having a great time, but the BBEG of all TTRPGS reared its ugly head; scheduling conflicts. And that's what brings me to the forums of roll20 this early morning/late night, looking for a new group to take up the task of defending Golarion and having a great time doing it. That said, I do have a good foundation of the plethora of rules of Pathfinder 1e. On my approach to GMing, First and foremost, my goal each and every session is to make sure my PCs are having fun, because this is, surprisingly, a game. I love to roleplay to the best of my ability (not great) and do my best to give everyone at the table their time in the spotlight. I take great pride in seeing those jokes and bits develop or deep moments happen between these imaginary people we have all chosen to tell the story of. I put a lot of work and passion into putting out a great game for us all to partake in, and even if my execution isn't always there, know that I am constantly striving to improve. I take no issue with raising questions about how rules should play out, but I do ask that when I declare a ruling, you accept it so that we can keep things moving along. I will never, ever fudge a roll. I will never kill your characters out of spite, but know that I do not do Deus Ex Machina, and your characters do stand real risk of death if you aren't careful. Now, keep in mind you're playing against a buffoon when it comes to tactics, so take that with a grain of salt. I like to run cutscenes as well, and understand that giving meta knowledge is a bad idea so instead I use these as opportunities to reveal bits about character backstories. Generally it run this with fairly heavy consultation from you as a player and discuss possible options, how much I reveal what will happen in the scene is entirely up to you during discussion. I'm not sure what else to add here. If you're interested in playing with a fairly inexperienced GM, please send me a message and tell me a bit about yourself, what you're looking for in a game, what type of character you might like to play, and what sorts of things might interest you regarding play whether it be, combat, the social parts, puzzle solving, etc etc. I just want everyone to have a good time, and we can't have that unless there's some interesting stuff for everyone involved. We're getting together to tell a story, and a damn good one at that. Feel free to ask any questions you may have in the thread or to me directly, and I look forward to hearing from you all soon! -Luke
