Game Description

Since the beginning of history, humanity has measured time in Ages. Some are Ages of Glory, Peace, Prosperity, or even Sorrows as the tally of years is marked off. But one Age has yet to occur, an age marked by darkness and decay. Diviners and servants of Fate tremble at the thought that the Age of Worms has already begun. And yet, none could foretell of those who might yet save us all. The unlikely heroes from the most unlikely of places.

The BasicsThe game starts in the town of Diamond Lake, a mining town that has long since gone past its prime, in the world of Greyhawk. An apparently undiscovered burial cairn gives you a chance at something more. It might mean a chance to leave the mines behind, a sense of adventure, the pride of glory, or simply a fist full of coins.

Eventually the party will discover an ancient evil, fight in a gladiatorial arena, uncover a political conspiracy, recover a powerful artifact, and save the world from a being of god-like power.

We will be using the Pathfinder system and starting as 1st level gestalt characters. I’m shooting for 5 players, might be convinced to grab an extra guy if I just can’t say no to the character. Pazio stuff only though I’ll toss you a few extra feats. Click here for the particulars of character creation. Or here for an FAQ. I am looking to leave the ad open until June 9th, and make my final player decisions over the weekend.

I would like to running combat, when possible, on Discord. The idea being that if we can get together for 30 minutes on Discord to save 2-3 weeks of combat posts.

About meHello, I’m djacob91, jacob or dj or such is fine. I have been playing D&D 5e and Pathfinder for about a year and a half now. I have been here on Myth-Weavers here since last September. I have been kicking around the idea of being on this side of the GM screen for a while and decided to give it a shot. I am pretty laid back, this is suppose to be fun after all, so long as you are trying to break the game and it makes some logical sense.

PlayersTone: As far as tone goes, I would like this to be lean more on the serious side than not. This isn’t to say that you can not be silly, but realize that at the end, you will be facing off against an ancient, evil, undead creature with near deity level power. If your character feels like he belongs on Nick Jr, you might want to rethink things.
Posting Rate: I am looking at a fairly fast posting rate. This Adventure Path, if taken to the end, goes from 1st to 20th level, and I would like to be able to do so at some point. I am looking for daily posts. During combat especially, I have a two day rule, if it has been two days, not counting weekends and holidays, and the rest of us are waiting on you, I reserve the right to move things along and NPC you. Of course I’ll try to get a feel for the way you act and will refrain from doing stupid things. If you are going to be away for an extended period of time, just say something. I can work with just about anything, but only if I know that something is going on.
Evil Characters and PVP: As a rule, I don’t mind evil characters, but you need to be able to play well with others. If you guys want to fight each other, I am sure that someone can put together an arena style game. At which point you can fight each other all you want. This isn’t the game for it, however.
Min-maxers: With Gestalt rules here, you really don’t need to min-max. With 5 characters, there should be little need to make a cheesy build. If things turn out to be more difficult than they should be, I would rather pull a punch or two than have the players try to break the game.
Rules Lawyers: If this is you, leave it on your side of the screen, not here. I won’t claim to have memorized all the rules but will try to make sure that they are followed. On the other hand, if all you want to do is yell at the new GM about some obscure rule, then please go somewhere else.
