Do the undead categories understand what the other categories are?  Are the details of each type known only to that type?

Ooh, interesting question.

I think the answer is:

Everyone has heard of these:
--Banshee
--Ghost
--Ghoul
--Skeleton
--Vampire
--Zombie
But they might not know every detail.

People who have listened to a lot of spooky stories may have heard of these:
--Drowned Ghost
--Revenant
--Snow Woman
But they might not know every detail.

Few will have heard of these (although SOME will have)...
--Death Knight
--Draugr
--Lich
--Mummy
...But those people might not know EVERY Detail...

Hi, everyone!

I'll be playing Bill the skeleton. He's a pretty easy going guy.  He has his little corner of the dungeon that he keeps tidy, and he enjoys when visitors drop by.  But, he is a nudist, so you know if you drop by unannounced.

Nasir, still waiting on you to send me the stuff that will go on your character sheet...

----You (choose one): are strong OR you do magic
----You got this way because (choose one): a curse, a deity, an honor bestowed by your people
----To heal faster than the usual ways, you must: (choose one): do a magic ritual, kill
----To pass for human you must (choose one): do a magic ritual, kill
----Lair (choose one): An ancient tomb, an ancient ruin, an ancient and forgotten temple

Please send me those in a private message.

Re: OOC THREAD

Nasir: if you're reading this, scroll up and read the post right above this one.

Everyone, including Nasir:

Okay so I think we want our lairs to all start off being near each other, yeah? (You can move to a new lair-- or, heck, get a second lair-- if you want (or need) to, but just for starters...)

So (looking at the Setting Thread) I think I'm gonna put us on or near the Zelgud/Sternza border. Increasingly-dense forest to the south, increasingly-dry desert to the north.

So:
--Winter the Death Knight: forest
--Flore the vampire: cabin in the woods
--Carol the Revenant: the city of Sternza, or a smaller town near Sternza
--Nasir the mummy: something in the desert

I was gonna have you all each start separately and then me increasingly encourage each of you to find each other and meet up through plot reasons...

HOWEVER, TWO SPECIFIC THOUGHTS:

1. Bill the skeleton wants to live in "a dungeon under a castle" and Gryux the lich wants to live in "a partially-ruined tower." It seems to me that you guys might kinda be neighbors? Tower up above, dungeon underneath? Steps on ground floor of tower lead down to dungeon or up to Gyrux's place? I think Gyrux might basically be Bill's landlord, as it were? How does this idea grab you two...?

2. We mmmmmmight be gettin' a banshee maybe? One of my players from another game of mine showed up late and pitched and I'm thinkin' of lettin' 'er in if she wants because RPol always has player attrition due to RL or whatever, often sooner, often later too?

HAVING SAID THAT, I was thinking of maybe having the elven banshee be sort of the immediate neighbor of Winter the Death Knight? How does that grab you, Winter...?

Yeah, I was going to ask: do we know each other (or some subset of the group)?  Under what circumstances would that happen?  Can different varieties of undead recognize each other?  Can they even, with certainty, recognize others of their own type?

I'm fine with another player, fwiw.

Carol will probably start in a smaller town.  Likely that's where her family is from (and ambition led to ... adverse events for some).  I'm fine having a neighbor that's not likely to ... be at cross purposes with my reason for being.

I was gonna say no, but I think I'll relax that for the "close neighbors" (like Bill the skeleton and Gyrux the lich). Otherwise no, not at the start.


Carol:

Like if you saw a zombie down the street, would you immediately say "oh dang that's a zombie"? No, not automatically like that. ON THE OTHER HAND, you can spot other undead (who are trying to blend in) rather more easily than can the living.

Successfully communicating with them might make it even easier...


Carol:

Good

Yeah, that'll let you be closer to the rest of the PCs

I have just been informed that Trina is not of elven heritage, and that was, instead, just an idea I got in my own head at some point, that banshees would be much more likely to be elven.

So, never mind. You won't be "neighbors."

Gryux/Bill plan is still on, though.

Okay, about to start.

So basically I have a secret list of 30 plot ideas to get things going.

I am about to roll randomly for each of you until I get one that I think might be appropriate for your PC, and then I'll apply it...

So stand by here we go...

I know in Pathfinder 1e, a Flesh Golem is a construct.

quote:
A flesh golem is a ghoulish collection of stolen humanoid body parts, stitched together into a single composite form. Its cadaverous flesh has a sickly green or yellowish tint. A flesh golem wears whatever clothing its creator desires, usually just a ragged pair of trousers. It has no possessions and no weapons. A flesh golem stands 8 feet tall and weighs 500 pounds.

A flesh golem cannot speak, although it can emit a hoarse roar of sorts. It walks and moves with a stiff-jointed gait, as if not in complete control of its body.

Although most flesh golems are mindless, there are persistent rumors of unusual golems who somehow retain the memories of a previous life. The head (and thus brain) of such flesh golems must be just the right combination of fresh and (in its previous life) strong-willed, and even then luck and chance during the golem’s creation seem just as important in retaining the creature’s mind. Certainly most who construct flesh golems prefer mindless slaves over free-willed creations, and as a result intelligent flesh golems are rare indeed.

Hmm, flesh golems are indeed Frankenstein-like and they do seem to be more golem than zombie. Forged with the elements of lightning and without a soul, no way they could be considered undead. But do we undead have souls, aren't we simply husks, wandering the lands on a never ending quest to quench our jealous thirst for life.

Although it is acceptable to inquire, I feel the need to say that weekdays are often more busy for me than weekdays. Since the last post in your thread was Wednesday, and since I have had a very weird week, I must say that a delay on my part lasting from Wednesday to today should not be seen as unusual.

Trying to catch up today. This would be a good day for y'all to post.

STATE OF THE GAME:

--Bill the skeleton and Winter the Death Knight: having fun together on a mission with a sadly AWOL-and-therefore-NPCed Gyrux the lich. I have just now private messaged Gyrux's player yet again to ask if they're ever coming back, but I expect the answer will be no answer.

--Carol the revenant: having suspense on a mission on her own

--Flore the vampire and Trina the banshee: two dead gals getting into trouble in the big city

--Nasir the mummy: setting out on an adventure of his own with an NPC assistant


So how y'all doin', players?

Re: OOC THREAD

This is a super busy week for me but I just wrote this as part of another game I'm fiddling with (yes, about being dead) and thought I'd run it past y'all, the dead




Meeting a deity in the deathlands is always awkward, for one of three reasons:

1. Reason #1 is that the deathlands is the actual home of almost no deities. Most of them you might encounter there are just passing through or just visiting to work on something else briefly. So usually, seeing one is like if you went to a cafe and recognized a big celebrity. You're in awe of them, but they surely have no idea who you are. Dare you say hello and ask for an autograph? Awkward.

2. Reason #2 is that you're in the deathlands because you're dead, so you've forgotten almost all of your memories from your time as a living person. What if the deity actually recognizes you? "Oh hey, you used to be my cleric/paladin" or "oh hey, you're the chosen one, how'd that whole prophecy thing work out?" It's like if you went to a cafe and a big celebrity recognized you and told you "oh hey it's you, we went to school together a long time ago, remember?" and you're thinking "oh wow I don't remember that at all, awkward" Also, what if you prayed to the deity in question not to let you die? Oops, here you are, dead anyway, so that'd be super awkward for them, too.

3. Reason #3 is that the one exception to the first rule is Death Gods, the only deities who actually might live and/or work in the deathlands. So then it's like you've gotten lost and you knock on a door to ask directions and it turns out you've called Daigath the god of Death out of the shower or interrupted him at the office or whatever, just because you don't know what the heck you're doing. Super awkward.

Hellooooooooo........

I know I've been busy lately...

To help make up for it, I offer this little game I recently wrote entitled RPol: The Game:

link to another game

If it's a game, then it might be fun to play sometime.

If it is, instead, a work of literary satire, I think it's an amusing and insightful look into the nature of being a GM on RPol.

Please enjoy reading it.

With a job, or else drinking the blood of the living and taking their money. Which honestly kind of sounds similar to a job to me. (The old joke from the 20th century would be "That sounds like my agent.")

I'm not trying to rush you, but Flore, I'm expecting you to do an Insightful roll next (you have an extra +1 on it thanks to Trina's helpful advice) in order to impress the hunter when he comes back.

Re: OOC THREAD


Hmm, interesting thinking, Flore and Trina. Let me sleep on what I want to be down there (or if I want nothing problematic to be down there, and if instead I want something else to happen)... I'll be back tomorrow...

Re: OOC THREAD


So I was going to team up Winter and Bill with Flore and Trina... but... then I realized-- Flore and Trina post the fastest, out of all of you.

Now I'm thinking of sending Winter and Bill Carol's way instead. That might work.

Anyone got any thoughts about this...?

Re: OOC THREAD

I'm pretty easy going either way. If it's a question of post rate, we can speed up. Most of my games post at several times a week.

Re: OOC THREAD

Always interested meeting other undead.  I don’t mind slowing down a bit to accommodate that… depends how much slower and if Flore is keen.

Doesn’t have to happen right away either.

Re: OOC THREAD

I'm happy to meet any other undead (PCs, at least).

Post rate has slowed a bit because I have unexpectedly found myself a full time student again while also working full time.  Opportunity for free education I couldn't pass up.  I will try to keep posting more regularly.

Yeah, I'm fine with slowing up as well if it means we get to have more undead friends.

Re: OOC THREAD


Wow, this is interesting-- have one or more people tried to stake Flore before (and missed the heart)? Fascinating. I look forward to hearing more...

Two days ago I had NO idea we were gonna go in this direction but I'm glad I thought of it

Yay, power of making stuff up as one goes along!

Uhhhhhh okay if you're all sure... I'll try to steer for a Winter & Bill & Flore & Trina team-up

EDIT: ...anyway, Bill and Winter... y'all's turn to talk IC

I know that feeling - the Undead got it easy!

Im at that age as well - injuries take longer to heal, sneezing throws the Back out of whack and remembering what you came into a room for to get is a common occurrence....

I remember a comedian I heard speaking truth-- "You fall down at 18, you bang your knee, you jump back up and run off and forget about it an hour later. You fall down at 38, you mess up your knee, it hurts, and you're like 'that's it. My knee will hurt like this forever.' And it's true, it will. It'll be like that forever now."

Dear GM and Fellow Undead,

It is with a heavy heart that I announce my decision to end my time in this game.  With my work and school schedules now, I do not have the time or mental energy necessary to give this game and my fellow players the attention they deserve.

I have immensely enjoyed my time role-playing with you.  Your enthusiasm and creativity has been engaging and inspiring over the past years.  Thank you so much for sharing your time to help create a world with me.

I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors.

Sincerely,

Carol

I completely understand. It's been my experience that at least 70% of the people on RPol are actively involved in academia in some way, and, well, it's kind of that time of year (as indeed it usually is, except summer I guess).

I'll remove you from the game soon (remind me if I don't).

Glad you enjoyed your time here.
