Council of Thieves, Act I - The Bastards of Erebus [DISCUSSION]

[Maidhc O Casain]

Hi Malvoisin! I'm definitely interested, and have my pre-order in for the rulebook. Count me in if there's a place for me!

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

I don't know anything about Bastards of Erebus, but I'm running a group through the Legacy of Fire AP, and if the quality of Bastards is up to that of Legacy it will be awesome!

Ya know, i just got done saying I am trying to pare down my games, but I saw this thread and know many of the potential players. i would like to be considered as a definite bite on the hook. I can play pretty much any character. i plan on getting the $9.99 PDF, but I have no world infoormation at all, so what ever you choose will be just fine and dandy for me.

I don't play many rogues, so maybe one of those? I will have to tag along as an alternate as I am this late inthe posting.

I've got no preference between the module or the adventure path, both look very interesting to me. I'm interested in finding out more about Cheliax after an aborted start at the Curse of the Crimson Throne AP with my normal group. However a good old fashioned dungeon crawl is tempting as well. Paizo always has some neat, unexpected stuff in their books. I'm good with whatever you pick!

I'm mulling over characters right now. A martial cleric that channels negative energy would be interesting, but a varisian bard with a bladed scarf or a mind-controlling sorcerer are also tickling my fancy. Too many character ideas, not enough games =P

 

[Maidhc O Casain]

I'd be good with pretty much anything the group needs to round it out. I'm hesitant to go too far with a concept just yet as I don't know exactly what parts of the Beta are going to be in or out of the final official release.

Hey there, Mowgli. Obviously, with the adventures not being released yet, we're pretty much working off of product descriptions only. But, at this point, I have enough faith in Paizo's adventures to expect greatness, even sight unseen!

Thanks for expressing your interest in this potential game.

Hi Scott. I know what you're saying, I am really happy to see so many good players express interest in my game. This really helps me feel like I want to go forward with it, because I have a lot of confidence in the reliability and role-playing skills of the potential participants.

You wouldn't necessarily have to be an alternate, as it's too early for official recruitment. I think what I'll likely do is ask prospective players to write up a paragraph or so describing a desired character concept...but certainly not before the rules have been released. So you can mull things over for awhile.

UPDATE: Here's a quick recap of players who have expressed at least some level of interest in playing...

Shayuri
Walking Dad
ghostcat
CanadienneBacon
Mark Chance
SelcSilverhand
Mowgli
Scott DeWar

That makes 8, and I'm really only looking for 5 players (maybe 6 at the absolute most). So, what I'm going to do is cut off the list there for people who will have an initial opportunity to get in on this. Ideally, I'd like to disappoint as few people as possible.

Of course, it's possible that some of you will change your minds over the next month, and that's fine too. But, you 8 folks will have first crack at the game when it's time to officially recruit.

I looked in the dictionary under greatness and saw the words: (noun) see Paizo
