Looking for a Pathfinder DM

Aug 30, 2019 1:30 am

I had originally posted looking for a solo AP. In doing so I came across two other players that wouldn't mind playing in an Adventure Path. Kingmaker and Skull & Shackles are the two top choices.

I'm hoping to find a willing DM.

*BUMP*

Update #1- there's a possible group of 4 players interested in playing.

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

I can do it.

I enjoy Pathfinder and like GM'ing PbP. I've been on the site since around Feb. of this year, and am currently playing in a Ruins of Azlant game, so I'd prefer not to run that one. I've GM'd PbP games on RPG Crossing, but none here. I could be ready to go no later than Sept. 8.

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

Any chance you guys would be interested in a 5th player? I know Pathfinder like the back of my hand and pretty low maintenance as far as needing help goes.

Sweet! It seems that Kingmaker and Skull and Shackles are the two people like. Do you have a preference on either one?

More than happy to. My players for my table top group are constantly trying to test my abilities to help them. Haven't been stumped yet. Though 'Sentient Pine Tree' took me a few minutes and required adapting from 3.5e.

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

I’d do either, to be honest. What would everyone like to play? Let’s take a vote!

Aug 31, 2019 10:45 pm

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

Both seem cool. Kingmaker seems like good old fashion fantasy RP and Skull and Shackles Pirates of the Caribbean

Went with Gathlain Barbarian eventually, lol. Sticky Tendrils for pine sap.

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

So many races and classes in Pathfinder I lose track lol.

Gathlain are another plant humanoid.

I think pathfinder even had it's own warforged, wyrwood ?

I even offered to let them build from Treeant and Dryand using the Level Adjustment rules in 3.5e lol.

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

I agree, both seem good. A good old fashioned pirate campaign would be different so I'll vote for Skull and Shackles.

I've always been interested in Kingmaker but I'm fine with either

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

Oh, here you are. I don't know how I missed this. I would absolutely adore a chance to play either of those APs, although I do love the idea of playing a swashbuckling pirate lass, so I'd probably lean more toward Skull & Shackles.

Vote tally (I’ll edit as needed.):

I’ll close the vote tomorrow evening (Sept. 1, Eastern time), unless this is everyone....

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

I am okay with either. I'm in a evil Kingmaker already so it might be weird to have another version of it.

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

I almost feel like voting King Maker so it gets some love. I still would like to try a Cleric of Besmara if we go Skull and Shackles though

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

I don't think i've ever done a pirate -themed- campaign. I've done naval sessions but that less of a focus and more like the obligatory stealth sequence in most FPS games.

I'm just personally not really into pirates but I can make it work if that's what people are more interested in

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

I'm actually a bigger fan of horror genre, myself over pirate or politics but I'm not sure if Pathfinder even has any good horror APs. I always ran my own campaigns.

I have heard of Carrior Crown. I will now dilute things and vote independently, thereby wasting my vote and enraging both parties.

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

I'm using some Pathfinder horror adventure path with CESN to do a comparative test run between PF and the system he's developing. I can't say if that AP is any good though. We're not actually rping, just rolling through the encounters

I'm thinking of a monk. I'm not sure about the race though. I'm looking at the Skull and Shackles players guide as well. Choosing my character trait.

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

Does anyone know which class is best for swashbuckling action? I know there's a swashbuckler class, but there's also a buccaneer, corsair, freebooter...

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

Depends on the pirate you're looking for. If it's a Jack Sparrow then Rogue might actually work better considering his acrobatics, sleight of hand, picking locks and persuasion skills. If you're looking for a Sinbad type then probably Swashbuckler. It's all in what you want, really.

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

I haven't looked into Skull and Shackles yet really but if a lot of it is spent on a boat, I would be interested in playing a druid with an aquatic animal companion like a shark or dolphin
Not sure how feasible that would be in the adventure path

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

I'm going to go Vampire Hunter. I want something that's got a 'cursed' vibe but is more combat oriented than Warlock. It's got swim as a class skill so I'm sure it'll be fine.

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

Vampire Hunter ??? Are there vampires in this AP ?

Cep100 Inactive forever!

Sep 2, 2019 3:57 pm

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

Could not care less if there was, lol. It's really a misleading name. If you read the class abilities it more comes off as if a Paladin and a Rogue had a baby and that baby didn't turn out healthy and it really soured the relationship, leading to a brutal divorce and then that divorce was a class in Pathfinder.

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder DM

Hrmmm ok well I think someone needs to be a rogue type.

We need a Swashbuckler, or Gunslinger...Hmmm maybe I will Multi into Gunslinger though my dex is not sparkly enough

With Traits a Vampire Hunter operates as a fairly decent Rogue replacement.

Yes. If you take a drawback, take an additional trait of a different type. Drawbacks are optional, however.

I’ve been reading the AP. How familiar is everyone with the first adventure? I can’t stress enough to download the Player’s Guide. It will help you plan your character.

Not an archetype, I think it's like a rogue that's been reworked. There's a monk version as well.
