I'm up to DM a pathfinder campaign that is basically just an extended dungeon crawl with moderate-to-light plottedness.

The minimum party size would be five, the maximum would be eight,

Character start at level one, all 1st-party races classes on D20 PFSRD are allowed. Character personalities encouraged, pictures not required, but welcome.

Character Reservations:

Yarrun - Karasu Hatate, the Tengu Magus
Counterclock - Karasu Aya, the Tengu Barbarian
Jane - Kogane Yoko of Kigiri, the Kitsune Sorcerer
Acererak - Takashi Satomi, the Human Summoner and Satsujinki-hei, her Devil Eidolon
MachSpeed - Rinjin San the (Half)-Orc Paladin
Daltar - Kamui Tohru, the Elf Ranger

meeeeeeeeeeeee

Yarrun XIX · 2015-09-18 07:09:30

As per standard, I'm in.

Also, define what isn't 1st-party? Because I miiiight want ratfolk

Yarrun XIX · 2015-09-18 08:04:58

I call Magus

glennmagusharvey · 2015-09-18 09:37:18

I might try this.

By dungeon-crawling, do you basically mean less role-playing? I guess I can do that. I'm not actually any good at role-playing in the first place, haha.

Plus, it might be a good chance for me to learn a class I don't usually play as. Heck, I could even use these Pathfinder books I got.

Alduin · 2015-09-18 12:01:16

Dungeon-crawling? Sure. I'll be a sorcerer.

glennmagusharvey · 2015-09-18 12:08:43

I'll be busy over the next few weeks though. Can this wait a little bit?

buttercrispy · 2015-09-19 00:24:51

I'd be in for it, most of what I've played is Pathfinder.

It's okay, Jane, as long as you're on the roster, you're already set as a witch.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-09-19 03:55:36

Pathfinder Witches kind of suck tho

Tanya · 2015-09-19 04:12:46

I'll play a barbarian!!!

glennmagusharvey · 2015-09-19 05:23:03

Durnit, I was just thinking of playing a barbarian, lol.

Well, I can always play ranger. Or paladin. Or monk. Or druid. Or basically anything other than rogue, wizard, or sorceror.

buttercrispy · 2015-09-19 05:23:10

I usually cleric but I am down for whatever the team needs me for

glennmagusharvey · 2015-09-19 05:38:33

I have a record of playing rogue or a rogue-like class of some shape or form, over and over again.

I want to do something else for a change, lol.

ratfolk aren't under the 3rd-party races dropdown, so they're fair game.

It's fine, if we're lacking in certain party roles, I'll give you guys NPCs to work with. You guys can be whatever you want!

glennmagusharvey said:

For the most part yes! It's more for the loot and combat than plot, though there will be some for those interested, but nothing too involved. Just some basic stuff.

glennmagusharvey said:

How long do you need?

Yarrun XIX · 2015-09-19 09:25:12

Settling on Tengu Magus. Think Counterclock's going Tengu Barbarian as well.

Definitely not this following week. After that it depends on time commitment needed for this.

Let's say it's drop in, drop out. You can stay and go as you need, just be sure to advance your character to match the party's level.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-09-19 20:10:43

tentatively i want either a casty class or a druid

so we're all on the same page here

That's cool.

Tentatively I'll say I'll be paladin, going with @Counterclock's suggestion.

Yarrun XIX · 2015-09-19 23:01:50

What points are we using for character creation? Regular Fantasy or High Fantasy?

Yarrun XIX said:

My preferred system is roll 5d6 drop two, with one free reroll. I trust everybody to be honorable.

So we have tentative ins from Buttercrisp and Acererak, definite interest from Jane, Yarrun, GMH, and Counterclock.

One or two more people can get in on this, in the meantime, I'll start planning and send messages to the two tentative ins.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-09-21 18:26:17

can i use my dice if we're rollin

queenpoison said:

I recommend using real dice for any players that have them.

Also, if there's someplace we might need to host this, I'm open to suggestions.

I'm taking reservations for races and classes officially right now, listed at the top of the page.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-09-21 19:00:20

honestly I think a thread would work fine?

Skype failing that.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-09-21 19:26:49

very tentatively, Kitsune Sorcerer

I am willing to change if this steps too much on anyone's toes

glennmagusharvey · 2015-09-21 21:35:25

Thinking of dwarf paladin. You crazy people and your tengu and kitsune characters...

I'm not sure how well I'd roleplay such a character, but perhaps I could get a pass humorously.

Also I found my dice.

LOAD Cherry · 2015-09-22 00:20:17

Speaking of tengu and kitsune, how do you all feel if this campaign is more Japanese flavored? Yeas, nays, and abstentions all welcome

glennmagusharvey · 2015-09-22 00:36:59

But a dwarf paladin wouldn't f--

Wait, I need a dwarf name that can be mistaken for a Japanese name.

And then I can have [name] complain about all the insanity and impurity in the world.

All the traditional races will be allowed naturally, and a race of honor-bound super traditional crafters works perfectly in a Japan-like setting

Salix Babylonika · 2015-09-22 00:51:45

I'd think it interesting

Alduin · 2015-09-22 06:10:45

Human Sorcerer

Alduin · 2015-09-22 06:13:02

12, 15, 15, 17, 14, 11.

i can screen-cap if you don't believe me

Salix Babylonika · 2015-09-22 06:19:05

ok so

I guess I'll pick something else?

queenpoison said:

Only if you want to. Two sorcerers is not really a problem.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-09-22 06:32:21

it is if we have like the same spell-set

Alduin · 2015-09-22 06:33:29

Eh we can cooperate. Show me yours and I'll show you mine.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-09-22 06:36:12

generally speaking, though it goes against the general kitsune MO, I would rather be the damage dealer

Alduin · 2015-09-22 06:39:49

Gotcha. I can do support + summon monster allies.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-09-22 06:49:41

well alright then, we've worked this out rather well

glennmagusharvey · 2015-09-22 08:23:05

GMH - Dwarf Paladin who's totally out of his element.

Or maybe her element. I haven't decided on gender yet.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-09-23 01:23:23

consider: a dwarf in full samurai regalia

Lacquered wood armor with gold filigree and steel, or even better, mithril, scales... And you know the face masks on dwarven helmets would be rad as hell.

LOAD Cherry · 2015-09-23 05:53:22

So Buttercrispy has sent me message and has expressed interest in playing a halfing cleric.

Salix Babylonika · 2015-09-23 05:54:33

halflings are cute

Salix Babylonika · 2015-09-23 05:55:24

@buttercrispy is this your character???

Tanya · 2015-09-23 06:05:04

What does it say about me that I saw that card and immediately went to research which set that character is wearing from the game.

The set happens to be Velen's Raiment from the WotLK expansion. btw.
