Throne of Night

I recently started playing in Throne of Night here on RPOL...and the game fizzled. DM disapeared.

So that got me to thinking That it could be fun to run after reading the verbage..

I have 2 other games Im running on here, and it wouldnt be tough to run a third.

That is about my limit.

my reservations concerning this are twofold...

A) From reading, Gary McBride and Fire Mountain Games (Way of The Wicked) have only completed module 1 and 2 in 2 years...now that still is a lot, and would take the party to 10th level...which would be years here on RPOL...so by then he may have done more..so not huge reservations...but whats the interest?

B) Its more sandboxy...and requires proactive players and its about kingdom building as well...which means players who are into that.

Its Pathfinder...

Its designed to run as a good party or an evil party (centered on Dwarves or Drow)

Thoughts?

and which side?

I was in the dead game, and I'll say it again: I'm all for a revival, and looking at the games you run, you seem a solid DM. With regards to factions, I haven't really had much experience with evil campaigns, so the Drow focused campaign could be rather interesting. I'm easy either way though.

one of my thoughts are party racial composition

for the good aligned dwarf backed party its easy

1. dwarf (1 party member pust be)
2. elf
3. halfling
4. human
5. aasimar
6. svirfneblin
7. android


neutrals...ie could be in either faction
a. half-elf (surface or drow)
b. half-orc
c. kobold


for the evil aligned (drow backed) party

1. duergar
2. drow (1 party member must be)
3. goblin
4. orc
5. tiefling
6. fetchling
7. hobgoblin

I'm in the old game, might be interesting to try doing the drow side, lots of ideas that normally cant be played.

character creation im thinking, but open to suggestions as well

I will allow any official Pathfinder class...though Occult Classes I need the info on since I dont have them so message me a cut and paste of the class if you go there....and am weighing the psi classes from dreamscarred press's original book...

Yes Ill even allow a gunslinger or a summoner synthesist..I have ways of handling both.

25 (for variety) point buy for non npc classes no score above 18 or below 8

25 +1d6 (for Aristocrat, Adept, Expert, Warrior (...but you are committing not to change til at least 3rd level to a normal class) no score above 18 or below 8

30 point build  + a 3rd trait for Commoner (...but you are committing not to change til at least 3rd level to a normal class) no score above 18 or below 8....


2 traits. (except Commoner who gets three) one will be a campaign specific trait.

3pp material Im weighing on a case by case basis. (primarily because I think theres plenty of character building material out there already)

Max hit points at first level

you can roll for gold and take what you roll..no exceptions...or take the average...you cant decide to take the average after you roll...you take the risk for gain? you take the risk for loss.

I've played the way of the wicked. So I do know that there'll not be any PVP. Actually I wouldn't want to join if there was.

Given their militaristic nature, wouldn't hobgoblins be viable for either group as mercs?

Regardless, it strikes me as a good game concept. I'm up for it.
