FG License: Ultimate
Game System: Pathfinder, Homebrew world/campaign w/ mixing in some modules/modified modules
Time Zone: EST USA
Day of week and time: Weekly Saturdays 6pm.
Planned start date: I'll need at least a few days to a week to prepare so depends on when we get enough players.
Planned Duration & Frequency: I would say 4 hour session and can go longer if people want. Thinking of weekly game, or at least every other week. Wanting to get players who are going to show up and will communicate if they can't.
Term: Long Term
Text or Voice: I've not tried text only, but could be interesting. Assuming maybe just Discord along with text. We'll see what works.
Voice software used: Discord
Will this be recorded and/or live streamed? Not planning on it.
Game System Experience: Played and GMed GURPS for about 10 years or so. Pathfinder, maybe 5ish years.
Fantasy Grounds Experience: New, but watched lots of videos and DMed a session with some friends. I'll need more GM time, but sure I'll be able to run pretty smoothly without too many sessions in. Just ask that if an issue pops up with the technology to be patient and help to work it out if you can.
Roleplay & Combat mix: Probably 40/60 roleplay/combat
Number of Players in game & needed: 4 need 1 to 2
Character starting level & equipment: Level 1, starting gold by rolls, abilities and character creation rolled up in game.
Character restrictions: None really, just know try to know the class you're playing as I don't know/remember all class specifics.
Details of your scenario: Don't want to give too much away about the world, but everyone will be starting in a small town on an island. While you know there are other lands beyond the ocean, you've never been to them. The town of Tespen has been your home since you remember. There has always been trade of goods to and from the island from the distant city of Akovar, but something is wrong. The tradesmen have stopped bringing goods and the few adventurers that have gone to investigate haven't come back for a week. Tespen has enough food to last for another month, but without their next shipment it could be a bleak winter.
My games tend to lean more towards combat over hours of roleplay, but there is always a story or reason for why you're doing it. I do like people in character, thinking what your character would do in that particular situation, but never require you to act it out. You can roleplay as little or as much as you like. I never force that aspect of the game. As long as the story is moving forward and everyone is having fun. I would like players to create a short backstory for your character. Doesn't have to be long, just a little about your character and something interesting from their past. You all will have grown up in Tespen, so pick a profession you would have in a small town and have a short backstory to go along with it. As far as play styles, all I ask is please don't be the person who goes off alone and leaves the party. While you are working out a way to make yourself look cool, the rest of the party is bored because you've went off on your own adventure possibly of motives that don't really have anything to do with the story. Working as a team is what makes RPG's fun, not working against each other.
Let me know if you have any questions!
