GENERAL GAME RULES
• Third party content is allowed, but do run it by me. Anything I allow for the players will also be used in encounters.
• Do unto others. Be kind, respectful, and as transparent as possible with each other.
• Certain setting-specific things may be restricted. This setting is medieval fantasy.
• Custom races are allowed when run by me, but custom (player-made) classes are not allowed.
• Fun is utmost priority here. If anything including something I'm doing starts to encroach on that, let me know. I'll do everything I can to keep the peace. This is a game, so let's enjoy it. (It is also a story, and it may hurt or make you cry, but so do movies. As long as you enjoy an emotional rollercoaster, we can keep going.)
As an aside, this game is LGBT friendly and such characters show up occasionally. Intolerance on such a basis, as well as over things like gender, race, and religion is not tolerated.
Rules are subject to change as I learn the site, but will be enforced fairly.
CONTENT TO EXPECT
• Mythic adventures. This will not be right from the start, but do expect it.
• Character Quests. I will be doing my best to help you and others explore your character by designing a personalized quest to advance their development. It can relate to their backstory, goals, or class lore. You can opt out of these if you wish but I will be sure to discuss them as much as I can with you.
• Level 20. This game may be long but it has layers that I hope you enjoy discovering. It should be noted that I am a full time employee and student, so while I am passionate about this, it may take some time to finish. Posting requirements are not strict as long as availability is communicated.
CONTENT TO BE WARNED OF
Content warning in Pathfinder? Absolutely. This is an incredibly dark and religious game. I tend not to censor descriptions or act mercifully towards npcs. If there is specific content you'd rather not see, inform me so that I can mark it under spoilers. Creating a list of content warnings would be nonexhaustive and I run the risk of stepping on toes if I miss something or add something. However, if you can't handle descriptions of usual content like death, decay, blood and gore, this game's narrative isn't for you.
GETTING STARTED
You may notice there's 10 whole player slots. This is because you will start in 4 separate parties, 2 of which will feature GMPCs. 1 party begins in each nation and will meet up during the course of the game, where you can swap players. Pivotal moments will feature all PCs, but there are few. Parties will grow or shrink during the course of the game, but you will start with 4 separated parties.
• Characters will start at level 3.
• Ability scores are rolled, 7 sets of 4d6. Drop any score you like once subtracting the lowest number from each set.
• You may pick 1 trait. If you pick 1 trait and 1 drawback trait, you may pick 1 additional trait. (Max of 2 traits + 1 drawback trait.) Restricted traits can be run by me (if they require a setting specific god for example, I may find one that fits so you can still take it.)
