[Pathfinder] RPG homebrew game (closed)

[Leif]

Thinking more about it now, I'd really like to play an Elven Duskblade. Too bad that's not a PF class. Unless, that is, I could get a waiver from our gracious DM??

 

[Scott DeWar]

Hm! Looks like fun. I coulda sworn there was an email in my box about something like this...musta been something else.

I shall follow the thread with great expectation of entertainment.

Shayuri! If I sent you an e-mail, I must have missed putting it in my folder and I am sorry. Please, you are then officially invited.

5 is alright for me! Honestly though, You were one of those I expected to lurk.

Leif:
I will consider the dusk blade. Elvin is ok with a good back story.

 

[Shayuri]

Smee. It was part of a big thread of emails with Leif and his Traveller game, during which you sent one mentioning an upcoming game.

That said, I totally understand if you'd rather keep it to four. No hard feelings whatsoever.

sorry, just looked it up and found no dusk blade in srd or apg or d20 pf ogl rpg sight.
I am inclined to not acquiesce.
that would be a no.

no! no! no! no! no! no! no! no!

You have to stay. You are now the 5th person. I has declared it so!

 

[Scott DeWar]

I'm not contemplating any class right now. I usually need a little setting information before I can start working in that direction.

I'm not averse to playing evil but evil takes a bit more work to, well, make it work.

As for setting, like I said, I don't know. I think I'm looking for something that's not your classic Tolkienesque D&D.

I am trying to think outside the box here and i am having some trouble. Still thinking.

Perhaps change the role of the non-human races?

 

[Shayuri]

You want outside the box? Let me just shotgun a few wild, weird ideas at you...kick this brainstorm up a notch...

1) Shatter - There was once, a long time ago, one world on which dwelled all people in peace and harmony. Then something broke the world as if it was fine porcelain, shattering it into a giant debris field suspended between the great white glow of the Light, and the all consuming maw of the Void; where the survivors of the cataclysm cling to what fragments of the Old World still have soil enough to grow things, and water enough to drink. Self-propelled vessels cross the space between shards, to trade or...more often...raid neighbors for what they have. And all the while, piece after piece is slowly drawn into the Void, never to be seen again.

2) Invasion! The Kingdom of Man has celebrated its ascendence as the last holdout of resistance fell. The other peoples of the world now acknowledge the primacy of the Kingdom, even the dwarves in their fastnesses, and the roving bands of halflings, and the gnomish People Under the Hills. So the Kingdom set its eyes on the last frontier; the sea. The first small scout craft sent did not return...but they revealed the Kingdom to something else. Several months later, strange ships were sighted on the horizon. As they drew closer it became apparent that these things were unspeakably huge; floating colossi bristling with weapons. As the halflings say...there are always bigger fish.

3) Old vs New. In a world where dark forces lurk in every shadow, where the dead must be burned to stop them from rising to feast on the living, the power of nature and the Mysteries of the druids are all that hold back the dread tide. But to this world comes the spark of revelation...a god whispers in the ear of his prophet, and grants him light to fight the corrption. But as the new faith grows, how will the druids react? Conversely, what steps will the new church take to carve out its place? If the forces of good make war on each other, who benefits more than evil?

sorry, just looked it up and found no dusk blade in srd or apg or d20 pf ogl rpg sight.

that would be a no.

Duskblade is a 3.5 class from the PH2. The closest Pathfinder equivalent is the upcoming Magus (Ultimat Magic) and the Arcane Duelist bard variant (APG).

The friendly Lurker.

 

[GlassEye]

Cool ideas, Shayuri. I particularly favor Shatter and think it would be neat to start in a broken city...

 

[Scotley]

I am going to start this off with a few questions to the players:

What do you want for a game?
module? Sand box? something in-between as in a little of both?

good pcs, neutral pcs or eeevilll?

city, wilderness or both?

rolling (and what method) or point buy?

Source will be d20 pf ogl srd rpg sight over here
standard will be two traits, core races; apg and core classes, spells, feats.
any fan rated material or other category other then core and apg is by request only.
thank you in advance for keeping it simple for me.

I like max @ 1st, then max - 2 hp for 2nd lvl + on hp

From the game:
I would like something that gives me an opportunity to role-play a bit. I think the other players in the game will add a lot on that front. Don't know Glass Eye particularly, but I'm sure I can count on Leif, Mowgli and Shayuri to inspire me as they have so often in the past.
A chance to explore the Pathfinder system, which I am still relatively unfamiliar with having only played a couple of games with it.
On the question of module, sandbox etc.--I would say a nice mix. I like playing in a sandbox, but experience has led me to the conclusion that some direction in terms of adventure opportunity and plot from DM makes for a better game.
I'm just excited to see you finally running a game having enjoyed playing with you for quite some time now.

On the question of good, neutral or evil--I would say neutral to good, but if the consensus is for an all evil group, I'm sure I can adapt.

On the question of City, wilderness or both--I'm up for any of the above. Just make a decision soon as it will likely impact our choice of class/race. Non-tolkienish world is certainly okay by me. Most city games tend to be less in that vein. If you want to do something more exotic I'll go with it, but don't let us push you out of your comfort zone. Run the game you want to run.

Point buy keeps things simple and fair and would be my preference.

The list of sources looks good and I can certainly find something to play from that list. I would direct your attention to the free revised play tests for the upcoming Ultimate Magus book. The Magus has been revised and looks pretty cool. It might be a nice substitute for the Duskblade Leif was interested in should you choose to allow it.

Hit point system works for me.

A couple of questions back at you. Starting level? My preference would be above second and below 20th. Starting gear? I would like some details on gods the world as you get to them...
