(10:56:41 PM) Mittens: you know what? i think it'd be fun to play 4e mechanics in pathfinder's world
(10:58:04 PM) Joe: if only to make people cry/cause a huge paradox of people being unable to decide if they should scream "You can't roleplay in 4th ed!" or "You're only able to roleplay with 4th ed because you're using pathfinder!"
(10:58:58 PM) Mittens: heh
(10:59:11 PM) Joe: poor 4th's world settings "We're trying not to make things too specific, so GMs can fill in the blanks and do what they would like with the setting."
GMS: aaaargh! how can I roleplay without you telling me what to do!?
(10:59:28 PM) Mittens: (me, anyway)
(10:59:56 PM) Joe: difference between "setting" and "module", usually
(11:00:43 PM) Joe: for example, not much really setting specific about shadowfell keep. beyond extreme things like "Well it's clearly not Dark sun"
(11:00:56 PM) Mittens: for the sake of playing kyle would you be willing to pick a module?
(11:01:19 PM) Joe: I'd be picking one at random, so in that event I'd say use the one that would drive you the least crazy
(11:02:01 PM) Joe: my desire to use Kyle for something has also a hefty dose of "I would also like to not drive people insane, again"
(11:08:47 PM) Mittens: here's the adventure paths:

(11:10:03 PM) Mittens: and the modules:
http://www.pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Pathfinder_Module
(11:10:20 PM) Mittens: the 2 adventure paths i'm familiar with are kingmaker and jade reagent
(11:11:46 PM) Mittens: jade reagent is about going to the orient.
(11:11:55 PM) Mittens: kingmaker is about building a kingdom from scratch
(11:12:04 PM) Mittens: (one of the pc's winds up king/queen)
(11:12:56 PM) Joe: that much I knew at least. Jade as interesting as it could be I'll leave to your sunday games cause you JUST started the thing over there, so I'd want you to keep it as shiny as possible for Pan and background extras.
(11:13:50 PM) Mittens: :)
(11:13:58 PM) Mittens: tim complimented my rping of lee
(11:14:06 PM) Joe: yays
(11:14:55 PM) Joe: *starts skimming adventure path opening blurbs*
"Second darkness has lots of DrowOHMYGODIMONFIRE, how is that possible Im a wiki article?"
(11:15:49 PM) Joe: legacy of fire apparennyly is piles of Genies, though Parrisa would be difficult at best to translate to 4th ed I suspect.
(11:16:43 PM) Joe: Council Of Thieves: You will face tons of Devils and hellknights, and "At least a handful of thieves"
(11:19:02 PM) Mittens: XD
(11:29:08 PM) Joe: honestly I cant decide. (well, aside from screw Drow Centric one because that sounds like a hassle).
Legacy Of Fire: Genies and stuff. Setting wise looks interesting.
Serpent's Skull: Jungle exploring and WHY SO MANY SNAKES?!
Skull & Shackles: How To Become Pirate Lord.
Rise of the runelords: how much do we trust "The first adventure path they made?"
Curse of the crimson throne: Oh god you guys could you stop rioting and suffering zombie plagues for like, two seconds?
(11:29:45 PM) Joe: and kingmaker seems to SPOILERS (
spoilers removed)
(11:30:41 PM) Mittens: heh. i'm familiar with some of kingmaker's spoilers
(11:32:18 PM) Joe: id expect as much with you running the thing, but yeah. in the end, do kingmaker if that's most convenient for you. Legacy of fire if Tim thinks he could play something he'd enjoy in 4th ed for the arabian setting, Skull if you want a diffrent kind of "kingdom" to build.
and serpent fang if you hate us all
(11:33:02 PM) Joe: though with the naval battles implied, I suspect skull would be more reliant/expectant of PC wizards having "sink entire enemy fleet with one spell" pathfinder options
Joe Edit: Gave this an editing pass to replace the specific messenger names, cause technically public board even if we all know eachothers things anyways. Thanks Office's Find/Replace option.
My main preferences lean towards "Would Chris not be driven insane and would everyone else involved enjoy it?". so if there's an adventure deal any of you know of you wanted a chance to try, there you go then.
