Looking for two people to join our Curse of the Crimson Throne game! We've actually started and played about two sessions already, but it's easy to slide in a couple of new characters so no worries about that! :) Before I go into the info with in game relevance, I'll tell you about what I want from you players:
- We'll play tuesday evenings (Central European Time), every other week. 3 hours. Do plan on being there for every session.
- Sometimes it's not possible to join for various reasons, that is ofc okay. When possible, you should write to me before the sessions starts if you can't join. Being absent without telling me may lead to me replacing you in the group, depending on other circumstances.
- Prepare for making combats run smoothly by making macros and/or using the roll20 sheet. You don't need to know a lot of rules, just do what you can to make things smooth.
- Participating in the forums every now and then will be appreciated. There will occasionally be some role playing in the forum between sessions. Posting a reply in a discussion or taking part in role playing every now and then shows that you're a part of the group, which makes the experience better for all of us and helps me understand if you're actually interested even though you're absent a few times every now and then. :)
So, those are my rules. I want a relaxed, nice group feeling and so I do not want to enforce any strict rules - but I do want to be clear about these things. Now on to more fun things!
The king is dead! In the Varisian port city of Korvosa, the death of a monarch leads to chaos, and only the PCs can hope to save the city from its own darkest tendencies. As the rule of the young queen grows more and more draconian, it's up to a band of bold adventurers to stop the spread of tyranny before all of Korvosa is crushed beneath her iron fist.
This is an Adventure Path (AP), meaning it's a long project. There's no way of knowing if it's possible to actually play through the whole thing, but we can give it a shot! The story starts at level 1, we're currently at level 2, and the grand finale is at level 17! Newbies are very welcome, oldies are too!
This is one of the more role play oriented APs. That said, this is pathfinder and there will always be a big amount of rolling for skills and in combat etc. Most of the story takes place in an urban setting (Korvosa), but there are also great parts with wilderness and with dungeons. I'd like you players to have an interest in the role playing part as well as the "roll playing". :)
The party currently consists of: Caelius Imbrex, human wizard/conjurer and the tutor of a younger wizard-to-be; and Garm, half-orc druid currently specializing in growing to great size and punching through walls.
Character Creation Info:
Start at level 2, with standard level 1 wealth - loot hasn't yet been sold.
Player's guide is available for free here, to help familiarize you with the setting etc:
http://paizo.com/products/btpy8bdb?Pathfinder-Curse-of-the-Crimson-Throne-Players-Guide
And an update to that is available here: http://paizo.com/paizo/blog/v5748dyo5lj5k?Curse-of-the-Crimson-Throne-Players-Guide
Alignment is sort of restricted to non-evil: Characters should have a motivational connection to Korvosa - acting for the good of the city will lead the characters forward through the story. You will of course be free to interpret this in your own ways.
Race: I encourage you to stick to core races. If you would like to pick one of the "featured races", I will demand that you explain well in your background the position of your race in society.
Class: No gunslinger, except bolt ace (crossbow) archetype. Otherwise no restrictions. This is an old school AP, and the core classes without archetypes will do very well, but pick whatever you like.
Attributes: 15 point buy (see here for example: http://webpages.charter.net/tedsarah/Pathfinder/utilities/pointBuyCalc.htm )
2 traits, +1 if you take a drawback. One of the trais has to be from the player's guide, alternatively - as you're not starting at the very beginning - you can try to find a trait that has a good link to Korvosa.
No 3rd party stuff
A good opportunity to join the group will appear via the city guard, as they're currently recruiting adventurers to help maintain control over the city after the recent death of the king (his death is something the PC's and the rest of the city have just recently been informed of). Other options can be discussed!
Application info
Make a new topic in the forum. Write your name, age, location. How does the time work for you?
What do you enjoy in a game, what don't you enjoy in a game? Would you enjoy some forum role playing in between sessions?
What do you like to play?
I don't require any character info in your application, you'll be free to create one once accepted, but it wont give you any "minus points" to pitch a concept either. All I want is to get a little feel for who you are, so write whatever you like.
