System: Pathfinder
Players Wanted: Frankly I'd be happy with any number however the more you get the slower the posting rate, so stick to topic title for now.
Posting Rate: At least one every other day, more (including PMs/e-mails) are of course welcome.
Special Rules: I dislike Pathfinders 1 skill rank per hit die skill system, beyond first level it will be ignored. Alignment is not mandatory but in its place I'd like a small paragraph detailing your characters normal motives.
Advancement Rules: Levels will be granted, not exp. If you wish to play a wizard request the items you would like to make when we get to that point.
Hey there fellow forum-goers. Most of you won't know who I am but a small number will. I used to post a lot on another forum, TSE, in which I participated in several PbP games and have one that's just shy of it's one year anniversary. I've slowly been building a game world by running campaigns and short-lived games in various locales and trying to draw everything together. There is a vague meta-plot but it is unlikely to come into play until the characters themselves have stumbled upon it. I am being open about this because I don't want you to despair when it rears it's ugly head in game. There is some fluff that you guys can request but it's not necessary to know.
Now for my game I'd like everyone to play Goblinoids (goblins/hobgoblins as played from the bestiary) that have lived in the same series of tunnels all their lives. I know this doesn't give a lot of room for backstory but I've found in the past that Play-by-Posts are excellent for character development as it plays out and that with the slow pace it's hard for everyones backstory to get a moment to shine that's not in the way.
I know so far this may seem a little negative in it's presentation but I have high hopes for the game and hell look at it this way, how often do you get to play a goblin in a potentially 'morally ambiguous' party?

And why must I be tempted to participate in EVERY SINGLE ONE?
...If I think of a good character concept, I'll send it your way. You bastard. :P

If it seems like you might be a little short, I would like to join, but I just can’t promise to post every day.
Every other day should be fine though.
Let me know if you think I would fit.

When you say goblins from the monster manual, are you only referring to race (meaning we still pick stats and classes) or are you referring to exactly as listed in the MM?
If we are just restricted to race, but everything else is open, how many stat points do we start with?

: KallMeKip May 12, 2010, 11:21:53 PM
also What pointbuy/stat rules are you using?
: Dogfish May 13, 2010, 06:43:16 AM
If there is still room and you are still trying to do this I would like to join. I haven't played pathfinder since alpha but It would be fun.
also What pointbuy/stat rules are you using?
Still room and I'm still trying to do this. You can roll stats. If I can't trust your rolls at the start of the game I can't trust your rolls in the game, I'd rather everyone was just honest with themselves.

I remembered the dice roller, but I couldn't remember how it worked.Searched dice roller on the fourms and found the command.The command is : dice xdy : without the spaces between the colons
Now to roll my Stats correctly I am doing 3d6 in order so dont be suprised if my stats suck.

The standard rules are roll 4d6 and get rid of the lowest die but if you'd rather stick with those stats then all the more power to you...though not to your character.I think you are right and I will not stick with those stats and do 4d6.
Lets do this right this time.

Can't fault your choices there, though you may want to have a look (if you haven't already) at the subtle updates Pathfinder have put in place. It may sway you off wizard.So it looks like they changed the focused schools, you can have an item instead of a Familiar, Fly is a skill now, and they cut alot of spells and balanced the schools out.
