[Pathfinder] Looking for Interest in a Skull and Shackles Campaign - *Full, But accepting backups*

Arrrr ye lookin' for a Pathfinder group? Be ye interested in a swashbuckling campaign on the high seas? Look no further! I'm posting to look at potentially starting a Skull & Shackles Pathfinder Adventure path here in the near future (Couple weeks at the latest). If there be interest, we'll do it! If not, ah well. The campaign itself is a thoroughly aquatic campaign - The campaign takes place in an Archepelago known as the Shackles, which is shielded by most nations by a permanent Hurricane - the Eye of Abendego. During this adventure, you'll be either on the high-seas in a ship, in the water, or on an island near the water. Therefore, if you don't want anything to do with water and ship-based combat, this campaign will not be for you. If, however, you relish the idea of making a Druid who bends the wind and seas to his will, are secretly a wannabe Jack Sparrow, or for some odd reason, idolize Aquaman, then this campaign might just be for you! I'm looking for 4-5 (6 at most) players who are interested in playing once or twice a week. ===== *Edit* Please send me a message with your character regarding a spot in this campaign. Since there does look to be enough interest in getting it started, it would allow me to organize who's going to be joining easier. Also message me what times and days are good for you. We seem to be looking at Sundays so far. Thanks! ===== *Edit2* So far, it seems we'll be starting on December 30th (a Sunday), and playing weekly on Sundays. The exact Time will be TBA. The Group and Players so far are: Iycae - CN Human Summoner Helpful C - CG Human Fighter (Two Weapon Warrior) Saber - Vitalist/Soulknife Dylos - LN Gunslinger (Gunner Squire Pistolero) Dustin_C - NE Human Sorcerer (Arcane Bloodline) CDavis77 - Elf Ranger The Backup Group, who will be called upon in case someone above drops, are: Cole A. Alfredo M. Caliber42 Camden Emilio D In order of who will be called upon first in case of open spots. Noshows (May get a Back-up Spot if they Return) ===== For those interested, the rules I have planned out are as follows: --------------------------------------------------------------------- -We will NOT be using Video or Voice. This will be a PURELY text-based campaign through roll20. If you wish to elaborate with the other players on Skype or any other means, you are free to do so. I myself will not be able to do so, however. -Time and Date to be discussed with potential players. I'm in Mountain-Time (UTC-7), and have a mostly open schedule, minus Thursday Evenings. -Any Paizo sourcebook is allowed -No 3rd-Party books, except POSSIBLY Psionics Unleashed. Speak to me beforehand. -Core Races from the Players Handbook only - Though alternate Racial abilities from various books are allowed -All Classes are allowed EXCEPT the Paladin -25 Point Build, Average Starting Gold for your Class, Full Hp at 1st level -Three Traits - One MUST be a campaign trait from the Skull And Shackles Players Guide (*Note* Rich Parents is not allowed as a trait) -Any Alignments are allowed (Even Evil), but note that Lawful will have a harder time in this campaign, as the campaign is very neutral and chaotic in theme. -Roleplaying will be highly encouraged, while uber-power gaming discouraged, and meta-gaming (Reading the adventure path, etc) greatly discouraged. Making a strong character, while roleplaying well, is quite alright, however. I'll just adjust the campaign as necessary if it gets too easy ;) --------------------------------------------------------------------- I believe I've covered all the rules.. if anyone notices anything I've missed, let me know. I'd highly recommend taking a look at both the Skull and Shackles Player's Guide (Downloaded Here for Free: <a href="http://paizo.com/products/btpy8rwc?Pathfinder-Adventure-Path-Skull-Shackles-Players-Guide" rel="nofollow">http://paizo.com/products/btpy8rwc?Pathfinder-Adventure-Path-Skull-Shackles-Players-Guide</a> ) as well as <a href="http://www.d20pfsrd.com/extras/pirates-arrr-us" rel="nofollow">http://www.d20pfsrd.com/extras/pirates-arrr-us</a> on the Pathfinder SRD page, listing things such as good archetypes for this kind of campaign, pirate equipment, etc. One other book I'd take a gander at if possible is the Pirates of the Inner Sea Companion book, if you have it. Please message me or post here for interest! I'm already going to be running this campaign with a group of RL friends on Thursdays, and its such an awesome campaign that I'd like to also run with a group of you guys on here. I'm available for messaging if interested and you need help in creating a good character for this kind of campaign (Swim skill is HIGHLY recommended, by the way). Plus, I have a few premade characters available should anyone want 'em.

I would be interested in playing in this campaign. I am free nearly every time except Tuesday evenings. I am experienced with pathfinder, but haven't played one for a while. Let me know if I should roll up a character!

If it's either friday, saturday or sunday night I'd be open for it. Unless one of the other maybes opens up. Of course that isn't likely.

I'm interested, but only available on evenings other then monday and friday. I'm PST (GMT-8) and am available starting at 6PM PST for evening games.

Alright well so far, it looks like its going to gravitate towards saturdays or sundays.. which is fine with me as well. I'd start making a character at this time, and please either post it on <a href="http://www.myth-weavers.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.myth-weavers.com/</a> or use the attached blank PDF and post it on here. If you guys want tips on what kind of character to make, just hollar. Also feel free to speak amongst yourselves and work on some class synergy if you want. I'm also thinking of starting it not long after Christmas.. I need some time to get it set up on Roll20, which'll give you guys plenty of time to get characters made. So probably the 29th-30th, if that sounds good.

There's another guy on roll20 that's been looking for a game as well. I sent him a message so he might reply as well. As for my character I'll be playing a summoner(as long dm has no problem with that). I already had the character done but I need to retool it to work for an aqautic campaign.

Summoner's perfectly alright by me. Any class is good to go, 'sept Paladins. Though depending on the class, you may want to keep a few things in mind. One: Unless your life-long dream is being a ship's anchor, heavy armor is not that great for this campaign. Corsairs (Fighter Archetype) can learn to swim perfectly in full plate, though. Two: If you have a spellbook thats not a witch's familiar, I hope you have a number of water-proof bags, or make your book out of water-proof materials. And Three.. underwater combat.. its a whole new ball game ;)

Hi there! I'm interested in playing this campaign setting. Thinking of taking a class from the psionics book... maybe the soulknife or psychic warrior. The reason why I want to do this is to get a feel of doing a class other than classes I'm already familiar with, to give me a challenge and to make myself a better roleplayer. Let me know if this is possible. Thanks.

Go ahead and play either - however, none of the Psionic races are allowed. We'll be doing a transparent Psionics/Magic relationship - Dispel Magic/Detect Magic works against Psionics and vise-versa, as well as Spellcraft working for both Psionics and Magic. And do know that unless I add them, there won't be any Psionics loot.. though I'll allow them to be purchased in certain towns. I've been quite interested to see Psionics in action for a while myself, so this'll be a good experience for both of us, hopefully.

What do you think of the Vitalist Psionic class? I seem interested in that class too... :)

Having some psions would be awesome. Here's the character sheet for my summoner. <a href="http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=481692" rel="nofollow">http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=481692</a> and my Eidolon <a href="http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=482563" rel="nofollow">http://www.myth-weavers.com/sheetview.php?sheetid=482563</a> I've got tokens for both already. If you'd like I can send them to you.

-Iycae Got a couple of comments about the Summoner sheet.. I'll send you the comments in a message. -Saber While the Vitalist looks good, I'd rather you keep to just the Psionics Unleashed book for now. I'd rather take it slow when testing the waters of Psionics. Perhaps in the future of the campaign, if something happens to one of your other characters, I'll allow you to use the book. But for now, only use stuff from Psionics Unleashed please.

-Gob: Decided to go with the Soulknife from the Psionics Unleashed book.

I might be interested in playing depending on which day of the week and time of day sessions are. Saturday and Wednesday are the only days that I don't have free right now.

Another quick question: would you also allow leadership feats?

I know you say any paizo published is ok, but I want to make sure of this because it's still not on the d20pfsrd and it's an archtype that is intended for cohorts typically rather then PCs. Would I be able to use Gunner Squire Gunslinger Archtype from Knights of the Inner Sea?

You know leadership would probably fit this type much better than other campaigns because a character might want to be the captain of a ship. Leadership could let you have a lvl 1 crew.

-Dylos Hm... technically you don't have a knightly leige for this to work with.. so one of your abilities won't work (The Spotter Deed), but if you wish to use that archetype regardless of that weakness, you may. Wouldn't recommend it, though.. As for a background, if you do wish to go this route, we can say you're on some kind of side-mission for your Leige when the campaign starts. Its easy enough to work with.. may even get some side-quests going. -Iycae Leadership is allowed when you guys get around to it. And yeah, its great for having your own devout crew :P

If there's any room left, I'd like to join in. I'm free any night aside from Thursdays. Got a fighter/rogue character already in mind.

How is your player count going? I'd be interested as well, although I'm probably limited to monday or wednesday evenings.

Well it looks like we're up to five, before you two. Sunday looks like its going to be the best day for people so far.. although thats not set in stone yet. Also, please check out the edit in the first post, and send me your messages accordingly. Thanks!

The Party thus far looks like: Iycae - CN Human Summoner Helpful C - CG Human Two-Weapon Fighter Saber - Soulknife Dylos - LN Gunslinger (Gunner Squire Pistolero) Dustin_C - N Human Sorcerer Camden - Unknown While I'm not rushing you guys on making characters, an idea of what you might want to make would be helpful. Also, is everyone involved alright with starting Sunday, December 30th? Times to be discussed, but it'll be in the evening. I'm also going to be keeping a list of potential back-up players in case we lose one or more players, so anyone interested in being signed up as a back-up, just let me know through messaging.

The 30th is fine with me

Ok, I'm going to go with a Gunner Squire Pistolero, since the two archetypes are compatible, I know lawful doesn't work nearly as well since it's pirates and what not, but probably will be Lawful Neutral. I'm fine with the spotter deed not working, it's not the reason I want to use the Gunner Squire Archetype anyway. I'll build up a rough draft of the character on mythweavers tonight and PM it to you.

Alright, sounds good. I have one of my players in my RL campaign this Thursday playing a Gunslinger as well.. he's also a lawful-something pistolero. Going to be interesting to see how they work in the campaign :P

I would love to play if there is still room. I would be interested in any class that would complete the group synergy. Just let me know. I have Herolab and a mic and I play all DnD versions, have all the books and and ready to play. This sounds different and I would love to experience the high sees from the perspective of DnD...

Unless we end up losing someone before the group starts on the 30th, we're full for now. However CDavis77, I'll put you at the top of the back-up player list in case that happens, and will notify you of a spot if one opens.

I'd like to join. I've never played in a Pathfinder campaign before, so you might have to help me out a bit. I'll be sure to ask a lot of questions, but I think I'm a quick learner.

Alright Cole, I've added you to the back-up list as well, and I'll message you if we get a spot open.

Thanks.

I'm also new and interested in joining. May I be placed on the wait list as well, I'm thinking about running a cleric.

Added, Matey!

To bad you guys are going on a sunday, i have a group i play with on sundays at a friends house wish i could play

Depending on how the first few sessions go, I may start a second group. No guarantees of course, and it'll be a while till it happens, if at all. This'll not be my first time DMing, but this'll be my first time DMing an adventure path and on Roll20.

well generally my time is open from 8PM central to like 5 am central every night besides sunday i work midday shifts mostly

Aight, if it comes up, I'll message you about it

sounds good

Is there an email that I can send the Char I created for this campaign just in case you have someone drop out emmediately?

Is it a PDF, or Mythweavers? If its the former, you can post it here, if its the latter, send the link to me in a message on here. I'd prefer the latter, as I can see your updates on it when they occur.

I use Herolab. If you have it I can just send the file over. If not I can attach the PDF.

I do not have it, as I primarily use PDFs for my stuff, and am starting to like Mythweaver quite a bit. A PDF is fine, then.

Well, Haven't heard from Camden so far about his character at all, nor any specifics on Saber's Character... I'll give them another day to at least message me that they're working on their characters. I'm not rushing anyone to have their character done, I just want to know that people are at least aware of whats going on, and an idea of what they may want to make.

Gob, you killed us last night. Dang that blue Goblins are powerful.

Those*

Put me down for interested please. I'm EST, and curious what start/end time. Barring that, and the spot opens, I'd be available if selected.

Still havent decided on a time, I'll probably start discussing it around sunday of this week, one week before the session.

#Gobgob Hi from my smartphone. Just informing you I am making my character by primitive means at the moment because a few days ago a blackout happened and lasted for very short time; however, my computer did not start up normally. It should be running again sometime before tomorrow so I can transfer my primitive file into a digital file. Sorry that this is a bit of an inconvenience for both of us, but it's worth it having a 5 month old trying to help in her own way for the character sheet. Heh... Also, #Dylos lives with me, so word travels fast... We also love playing together... Right hon?

Gotcha Saber, thats fine. I just wanted something knowing you were still here.

Are you going to make a page for the game sometimes soon, Gobby? Might make certain conversations and communication faster/easier, as we can gather and chat in the channel when we're available rather than wait for someone to reply to posts here.

To #Gobgob : where do we post our character sheets?
