IC: Boss fights - Pathfinder

I have an idea for a game based on just encounters. Basically the party gets teleported into a dungeon instance WoW style.

Small dungeons with Boss fights. I would want multiple DMs taking turns, since I want to play in that as well.

Any interest?

That sounds fun to me.
As long as we can agree on a standard level and agree to take turns DM'ing.

What was the possible post rate?

I would want it fast. We would need 1 round per day, otherwise it will die quickly.

I tried a game of this once before and hated it. My problem was the GM would demand you take certain builds. I get how very mmo that is but, if I wanted to play a premade I would have asked for one.

We can discuss that. I think starting level would be more of an issue.

What would you want the starting level to be?

How advanced of maps are you looking for? Images, code, none?

I can totally see where you are coming from...

I was thinking/hoping around a 7-9 starting level. That way we have a bit of meat on the bone. Plus the encounter range is still challenging and fun. I was also thinking a mid to low equipment load out would be fun. That way you have to really use your load out.

As per the maps, if we each take turns as the GM we can all learn from each other on how to best use RPOL's resources.

As I type this, I would as like to note. Not it, for the first round pick of GM. I don't mind going second or third.

I was thinking as 3 to 6 as a starting level. so, for example a DM would announce an "instance" and what CR it is set for. People would then form a party to do it. They could bring any character within +/-2 levels of the CR and attempt to finish it. The lower the level the harder the dungeon, the more exp the character gets.

We would agree on the starting builds point buy/starting equipment and such. For magic items we would only allow what the characters retrieve from the "dungeons", or can purchase.

I'll take the first encounter if the CR range is 7 to 9 because I already know what it's gonna be.

Totally did a DND 4e game like this. It was one of my all time favorite rpol games. Was arena style difficultly rated. Would be 110% into it with DND but pathfinder just gets too crunchy with the 1000 options for builds. The DND 4e got that way towards the end.
