Curse of the Spoiled Nymph [Pathfinder, Non-Con, Monsters, Bizarre]

[Aylinas]

TLDR
An RPG sandbox where the players are stricken with a curse and forced to find mcguffins to cure it, lest they fall victim to its mind-altering (read: slut-ifying) effects.  Players can go wherever they like, although horrible danger of a usually sexual nature is around every corner, not to mention the clock is ticking...

(Applications are Closed)  Thanks for all the interest!



A Brief Story
3000 years ago, in what's now known as Laughing Fey Forest, there was a Satyr by the name of Vrixiel.  Though handsome and seductive, Vrixiel was also arrogant and brash and he split his time evenly between seducing females and then boasting about it to anyone in earshot.  During a particularly inebriated round of boasting, Virxiel claimed he could have any woman he desired, including the queen of the dryads.  Unfortunately for him, this was during a party the queen was attending.  Rather than have him horsewhipped like most people would assume, she invited him to her bedchamber.  Vrixiel, swelled with pride, accepted without a second thought and ended up waking outside the queen's home a week later with no memory of what happened inside.

In the days that followed, rumors reached the satyr's ears that a "Shrine to Vrixiel" had been erected of magical stone and wood and that "All who aspire to his greatness should visit."  Naturally, having assumed he had been a sexual dynamo of legendary proportions with the queen, Vrixiel set off to the forest shrine.  He arrived, greeted by carved mosaics of sexual conquest and general hedonism on every wall.  In the center of the shrine was an altar, decorated with flowers and a cloak so well-made it would be fit for a fey king.   Assuming it was for him, Vrixiel donned the cloak, finding it befitting of his stature and relaxed on the altar, drinking in what he thought was his well-deserved adulation. 

His celebratory nap was cut short, however, when he woke up to find the cloak vanished from his back... and his body changed to resemble that of a particularly plain-looking nymph (beautiful but not BLINDINGLY so).  Worse yet, he was dressed in an outfit that even a satyr might judge as too provocative... and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remove it.  Vrixiel ran from the shrine and headed back into the forest to his home to seek help... but he found his senses were a little bit dulled and his head a little bit cloudy and his body just a little bit hot...  He quickly became lost in the forest and found his voice and memory failed him when he tried to tell others of what happened to him.  When he finally returned, days later, his memory of the man he was, as well as his intellect, had entirely drained from him, replaced with nothing more than a dull, cloudy haze of sexual need.  He soon found himself happily being passed around his circle of satyr friends as a sex toy and that ended the tale of Vrixiel.

Most intelligent fey could deduce what happened, but most kept the shrine's curse a secret, hoping to lure anyone who aspired to be like the arrogant Vrixiel into the same trap.  Unfortunately, that fact and the passage of time made the tales of the shrine... fuzzy to say the least.  Bard's tales of the shrine shift between describing the place as teeming with powerful fey artifacts, a place where adventurers vanish without a trace and a place where loose women congregate.  Sometimes the tales would combine all three.  Most locals, however, are at least aware the shrine is cursed with a few magically-adept ones knowing the full nature of it.

YOU however, are not aware of this.  You're from out of town and as far as you know the shrine just holds some pretty sweet magic items you can make use of.

Where do you fit in?
Were you lured to this region by the local king calling for adventurers to help slay the dangerous monsters that plague his land?
Perhaps the mysterious ruins of magical nature that dot the landscape called to you?
Maybe you were run out of your village in the northern badlands into this kingdom by a band of marauding orcs or minotaur?
Could you be a mere sell-sword the kingdom hired to fight in its war that ended not a week ago, now cast out and searching for work? 
Were you here chasing (or joining) a band of southern slavers who prey on the populace, lured by the rumors of the occasional  lust-starved woman who appears from the forest?
Or maybe the rumor of there being occasionally lust-starved women appearing randomly out of the forest was enough for you.

Either way, you're about to embark on what can only charitably be described as an adventure, though it's probably going to feel a bit more like a panicked run-around.

Players will start off in The Shrine of the Baleful Fey, presented with a piece of armor they could only dream about.  We're talking +3 Adamantine Breastplates, Belt of Physical Perfection +4, or a Headband of mental prowess +4, or similarly tempting items, something the character would utterly crave.  Unfortunately,  as you might have guessed, the items are cursed, provide no magical benefit and magically puts whatever clothes you were wearing into your backpack to be replaced with something skimpy and provocative.  It also polymorphs you into an attractive female or simply a more attractive female as the case may be.  (DM note: This can keep you male and/or maybe just turn you more effeminate, I can be flexible here.  Just remember that the setting is rife with perverted male antagonists.).

What happens next is entirely up to the players!  Though if I were them, I would seek advice on how to lift this curse with rather a lot of haste.  You DID hear of a knowledgeable local alchemist in the thorp of Windal...

What you should expect:

• This setting will be lousy with threats of a sexual nature.  For reasons I can only describe as "this is kind of a porn game" most every location outside of the starter town will have SOME kind of threat which will be more than happy to take advantage of an attractive yet helpless adventurer.
• Travel time, food and money will be monitored very closely as the players are on a time limit and gold does not rain from the sky like in most adventures.
• In keeping with the pervy nature of the game, you should expect a lot of non-lethal damage and grapple checks.  Very few things will want to see you dead.
• Monsterous Humanoids, Tentacles, Slimes, Baleful Polymorphs, Magic, Slavery and Bondage will be common themes.
• Curse of the Spoiled Nymph will force you to make daily will saves, lest it addle your mind just a little bit more.  It also gets a power it can use 3 times a day, rolling against your willpower to replace your clothing again, with whatever it likes, though it'll generally be something that makes whatever situation you're in harder or more awkward, or both.  Luckily, your clothing appears in your backpack again.
• Your character will be unable to remember what cursed them and if they DO piece it together, the curse prevents them from describing it.
• Standard 15-point buy... maybe 20 if everyone really wants it.
• There are Bad Endings.
• You can soldier on even despite capture with the only true failure state being the entire party succumbing to the curse or dying as the case may be.  Granted, there will be magic the party will be poorly-equipped to deal with...
• Despite all this, I'm usually very accommodating as a GM and I probably won't force you into something you don't want.

What I need from you:

• A Character Idea!    Don't ACTUALLY stat out the character yet, not until things are decided upon.  You CANNOT be a local.  The setting hinges on you being from outside the kingdom and knowing little of its dangers.
• A System Preference!   This has Pathfinder in mind and most people seem to lean towards it but I'm still keeping FATE open as far less rules-heavy option if people prefer it.   [EDIT:  This is looking very much Pathfinder barring a complete change in player preference]
• What You Want!  If you've read this far and want to play the game there must be SOMETHING that appeals to you.  What is it?  What do you hope to get out of this game?  What do you EXPECT to get out of this game?
• Kinks!  What erotic elements would you like?   How should erotic elements be handled? Fade to black?  DM describing your horrible fate?  Do you want your characters to be disposable and left to Bad Ends and have new ones join up?
• Anything Else!  Comments and criticism are welcomed.

[EDIT: More Notes]
Final Notes:
That's the world map up there.
I may do some minor god-modding to keep the game moving, especially during combats.
I probably won't take more than 6 people, if we even get that many applicants.  1 spot is reserved.
This is a porny game and I'm new at DMing play by posts so please be patient with me and try not to take it TOO seriously.
Power-gamers may find Survival, Escape Artist, Sense Motive, Disable Device, and Knowledge (Local, Nature and Arcana) to be especially helpful.  Though if you're trying that hard to win you may be missing the point.
I would prefer if players post at least 4 times a week, hopefully more if the party has a back and forth conversation or a combat.   
Length is however much you feel you need.
Initative will matter as to who acts first but you can post in any order and I'll have actions go off accordingly.

[Muse]

Good morning.  I'd love a chance to play in this if you use pathfinder? 

My first thought is that I'd play a Mousey young wizard named Aiden Nightstone.  She's from a costal city with a university.  When she was 11, her parents sailed away on a mission of exploration from whihc they never returned.  They left Aiden with money to study at the university 'til a year after they were supposed ot return and her father's magic ring--the Nightstone, which Aiden uses as an Arcane Bond. 

Upon donning what she believes to be a headband of vast intilect, our shy, mousey virgin bookworm is transmuted into an underdressed blond bombshell.  :) 

[AnneReinard]

Annnnd I am definitely in as you well know.

Character Idea: The current thought is a smug, cocky mercenary-sort who decided to go to sort out the matter of this shrine as the result of a drunken dare. Unfortunately, the resulting hangover from all the ale made it so that he blocked out all the warnings about curses and terrible dooms. The character would definitely be the type that would struggle with being taken down a notch by the general experience and would probably get in over their head pretty quickly.

System Preference: Pathfinder is fiiiine. FATE is fiiiine. Whatever you are most comfortable with.

What Do You Want: Slutty costumes. Yes. Don't judge me!

Kinks: Always fond of slutty clothing, humiliation, facials, light bondage, spankings, and general dickings. Not fond of watersports, scat, or vore. Fairly standard stuff.

Anything Else: Yay this exists!

[Chulanowa]

You have my interest! I'm about to head out the door so don't have anidea just yet...

[Grizzly]

Interested as well.  I'll need to let my muse dwell on a story but I'm sure that I can come up with something.

[Rune]

Very interested in this idea!

A Character Idea!   Prince Kareth was the second son of a minor King to the land of Albion. As second son, he was not heir to the throne and instead took service as a knight. Hearing tales of adventure, he journeyed to the unexplored lands seeking fotune and maidens to rescue. Basically, she is a submissive that thinks she is a dominant, but just needs to be proven wrong.

A System Preference!   Pathfinder is a little crunchy but I really dont like fate. I would prefer a simpler system like Herores & Witchery or Labrynth Lord.


What You Want!  Out of this game?  What do you EXPECT to get out of this game? The Prince is seeking to rescue damsels in distress. He never expected to become a damsel in distress. Of course he will fight his new urges and still try to act manly, but situations should force him to rely upon his feminine charm and act the part of a pretty Princess. Eventually he may meet a hero who will rescue her and cause her to embrace her new life.


Kinks!  What erotic elements would you like?   How should erotic elements be handled? Fade to black?  DM describing your horrible fate?  Do you want your characters to be disposable and left to Bad Ends and have new ones join up?

I don't mind details over fade to black. However I rather not have the characters disposable. I rather invest the time developing their personalities, the conflict of acceptance and being forces to admit who they have become. I am good with bondage. Being made helpless and forced to act like the girl she appears to be.


Anything Else!  Comments and criticism are welcomed.

[Snake]

I"m interested but only if it's pathfinder. (as I'm not familiar with other systems.)

[Sain]

A Character Idea!  Did I read possible opening for trap characters  :-) I'll need answer to one question before I think of anything (see Anything Else)

A System Preference! Fate is cool. Whatever works. PF can be handled without strict combat rules pretty easy too if you wanna keep things smooth.

Anything Else! The setup looks pretty interesting, but I'd like to know what kind of posing pace/length are you looking for? A few lines at a time and things moving fast, several paragraphs with details or something in between?

[Aylinas]

Did I read possible opening for trap characters?

What kind of posing pace/length are you looking for?

The Curse works in Mysterious Ways and the setting is porn-heavy enough that antagonists don't discriminate with pretty faces.


I would prefer if players post at least 4 times a week, hopefully more if the party has a back and forth conversation or a combat.   
Length is however much you feel you need.  Longer delays between posts may require more detail, etc.  Use your own judgement.

As I mentioned, I don't want combat to drag so Initative will be handled with not much strictness and with generous ret-conning if the need arises. 
Initative will matter as to who acts first but you can post in any order and I'll have actions go off accordingly.
If one person doesn't post for a day, I'll make a logical and safe choice for their actions and we'll move on, again with generous ret-conning if absolutely needed.   I'll reserve the right to hand-wave combat if it seems like the party will win easily.

[Blue Leah]

I am definitely intrigued.

Character idea:
-->Either a Spellscar oracle or a Wild Experimenter, focused on the applications of Primal Magic on the battlefield. Basically, a character who relies on unstable forces to empower themselves, and engage with the battlefield. I like the idea of emulating the "Unstable Superpower" archetype seen in films recently, who came to the shrine in hopes of finding something that would either grant her more control, or amplify the strength of the primal energies she wields.

System Preference:
-->Definitely Pathfinder. :3

Expectations:
-->I like my character to at least have a chance to get out of bad ends, though I don't mind if she does fall at some point in the story. The threat is part of the fun.

Kinks:
--> I'm pretty open here. I don't mind a character falling over the course of an adventure, and I don't mind any of the things we were warned about in the intro. It sounds like fun. :3

Anything Else:
--> How bad of an idea is it to play any kind of an Int-based caster in this? :P

[AnneReinard]

Oh gosh, now I have no clue.

Bard is nice...

But a Paladin dragged down into corruption is nice too...

Or a pretty little Sorceress...

Decisions are hard! At least there doesn't have to be too much worry about being a competent party?

[Aylinas]

Seems like preferences are leaning pretty heavily towards Pathfinder at this point, so it's likely we'll stick with that barring some truly unforseen circumstances.

The are CERTAIN places where characters run the risk of being baleful polymorphed which may end your adventuring carrer but these are rare, usually obviously TERRIBLE ideas, or only happen when you're all but resigned to having the curse control you anyway.

Don't worry about playing int-based characters either.   While the fluff suggests Int and Wis drain, the curse only mechanically penalizes your will saves along with a few uncomfortable surprises in the later stages.

[Snake]

15-point buy though? That's fairly low. you'd be stronger using an NPC elite array in that case. xD

[Aylinas]

I mean... 15 Point Buy is standard for most adventures. 

I'm willing to bump it up to 20 if the players demand it but I feel having fairly average-power characters fits the setting.

[Blue Leah]

Cool. I think an Alchemist would be my focus then. Lots of fun, Faustian things I could do with a Wild Magic alchemist.

[Yarnover]

A Character Idea!   I would like to play a female paladin who's rather low-ranking but dedicated. She was either against coming to the temple (if part of a larger party) or ended up there by happenstance (if traveling alone). She's assertive, fair and prudish. Could be fun!
A System Preference!   I only have some experience with Pathfinder
What You Want! I like the opportunity to put my character into awkward situations. Being forced to deal with clothing substitutions and unwanted sexual advances give me a happy challenge to write about. I'm still fleshing out what I like and don't like but in general I'd like to stay away from actual rape scenes and would rather have her come to enjoy sexual scenarios, if that makes sense. (Though she probably would never admit it.
Kinks!  Pretty much any and all elements of BDSM.  Body worship is great (especially if it's aimed at her and gets her to open up about her sexual side and love her own body)

As for the following:  "How should erotic elements be handled? Fade to black?  DM describing your horrible fate?  Do you want your characters to be disposable and left to Bad Ends and have new ones join up?" I'm up for a variety of scenarios. I'd rather not have my character(s) become completely disposable, but I wouldn't mind giving them up to an (un?)happily-ever-after eventually.
Anything Else!  I'm still relatively new to erotic gaming, just wanted to disclose that.

[Sain]

Mmh 4 posts a week is going to be impossible for me. Wish everyone else fun times with the game though :P

[Snake]

Even the Iconic NPC's at all 20-point buy actually.

[MiraMirror]

I am also interested. I think that if I played a character, it'd be a female (class not really picked out yet) who puts on a tough facade to keep herself safe, mis-representing herself as someone else for the sake of her own interests (such as lying and claiming that she's experienced sex many times before and that it's overrated, despite never having had it before.) She might be a paid mercenary, misled by rumors or antagonistic folks looking to get rid of her.

Edit: Actually, a country-type character could also be fun, or someone escaped from slavers.

System Pref:
Pathfinder, yes please.

What You Want: Awkward situations can be very fun. I'm fine with just about anything as long as there's quality to it. Bad ends are fine, though I would recommend having 1d2 or 1d3 worth of deus ex machinas to get out? Just a suggestion, anyway.

Kinks: O/Os tell all, but major kinks are bondage, futa, non-con, eggs, impreg, etc. Basically, if it's not in my Offs, I'm at least willing to try it once.

Handling erotic elements: Perhaps a separate thread for smut to be played out? I really don't like the whole fade-to-black thing.  Depending on what happens, I'd be willing to roll up a new character, but it depends entirely on the situation. Willing to reroll, but...situations.

Anything Else: Hi. :3

[DomJoe]

Welp, this is right up my alley. Color me interested!

A Character Idea!  I have too many Pathfinder character ideas to play, but 2 come to the forefront. The first is a swashbuckling red-head who's at best a wanderer and at worst a vagabond looking for quick cash to sustain herself. Needless to say, the rumors of sweet loot would lure her in like no-one's business. The other would be a warpriest from another land, looking to cleanse the area of monsters and fey. Ideas may vary due to sudden ideas/character creation stuffs.

A System Preference!  I've personally fallen in love with 5e, but I'm more than happy to play some Pathfinder.

What You Want! Jeez, I kinda win either way with this roleplay to be honest, so.... (shrug). Kinks might be a good place to start

Kinks!  Tentacle monsters, futas, gangbangs, demons, transformations, just about the whole adventure is promising alot of fun for me. I think it'd be easier to list things I don't like, but that can be seen in my role play preferences if you really want to check that. I personally like writing what happens to my characters in collaboration with the DM, and while I'd like for my characters to go on for as long as possible, I will Bad End if it seems 100% appropriate to do so.

Anything Else! Well, you haven't stated what level we start at and other character creation details. Those would be welcome, as well as which content from which books/sources would be useable. If it is Pathfinder, I would suggest at least a 20-point buy system, or rolls. 15 is just too little to enjoy.

[Snake]

    A Character Idea!   Atm, a Female Kitsune Thief. OR a Male gladiator seeking riches.

   System! Pathfinder   

    What You Want!  To have fun really. That's all.

    Kinks!  What erotic elements would you like?   Depends on Characters but mostly tentacles or bestiality; though I'm willing to try quite a few things.  Just not Guro/waterworks/Scat/Vore etc

And I don't mind "sexy" bad ends but character death bad ends suck hard.  I'd prefer to have some chance to overturn bad ends to continue on or something

    Anything Else!  Not really

[Aylinas]

What level we start at and other character creation details.
Which content from which books/sources would be useable.

Ohgoddon'tkillmycharacter

I'd like to start at level 1 and, again, I'm willing to bump it to 20 point buy if the players desire it, though I do feel strong characters sort of defeat the point of the game.

If you want to be safe, stick to the core rule books. The SRD has some over-powered and DM-only spells listed and if you pick a blatantly broken, 3rd party option I may step in and nix it on a case by case basis.  Check what the source is on the spells/abilities and just use your best judgement as to what's fair. 
I'm pretty lenient as a DM but overpowered characters DO suck away fun from the others.

As I mentioned in the intro, it is highly unlikely I will force you to die or have a bad end if you don't want.   Accidental Deadifying and Bad Ends (even the ones you really, REALLY should see coming) can be ignored/ret-conned/dues-ex-machinaed so the player can keep enjoying the game.   I only mentioned "disposable" characters because some people enjoy the idea of leaving someone to a horrible fate.

[Kiric Rand]

Well this is certainly intresting

[Snake]

Well my Apologies I've had bad experiences with Killer DM's that actually enjoy forcing bad endings and making the player go through with it.

Psychic Slaver Murderous Space Jellyfish *shudder*

[VonDoom]

Definitely interested, will provide the requested information later when it's not past midnight in Europeland. I favor Fate Accelerated the most, though -- it just gives a lot more creative wiggle room and really focuses on the narrative.

That said, regarding 15 point buy vs. 20 -- there actually is very little difference. 15 point buy usually actually makes the attempts by players to min-max/optimize worse since it's not like you have much room to round a character out with left. I usually advocate granting a different point buy by class choice, even if it may seem unfair at first glance -- a single attribute based caster has far more room to round out by concept and still be effective with their cosmic spell power than, say, a Fighter.

[Wenterburn]

So much for six - loads of replies and interest in this thread. Will we have a dance-off to determine who gets in? :D

I think this is cool, and am contributing my own interest/character!


A Character Idea!    Kotich is a wily rogue who's really a bard. He's so-so with the edge and decent with a lyre, but where he really excels is his mind, being able to come up with plans and strategems on the fly, and tinkering with the available tools he has to solve problems. Once, with a roll of rope, two daggers and a corpse, he managed to convince a castle that an attack of zombies was occurring. I imagine him as a pathfinder MacGuyver.

A System Preference!   No preference, although I'm going to RP heavily and roll dice not so much.


What You Want!  Out of this game?  What do you EXPECT to get out of this game? Are you kidding? Playing with a sexy Nymph-polymorph curse is great fun! Partly I'd like to see my character get rid of the brain-effects but have to live in the body of a nymph, but I expect much joy and unwilling titillation (and tits!) and pervy fun.

Kinks!  What erotic elements would you like?   How should erotic elements be handled? Fade to black?  DM describing your horrible fate?  Do you want your characters to be disposable and left to Bad Ends and have new ones join up?

I really enjoy having my characters (and others!) suffer through the indignity, perhaps, of traipsing through a swamp in heels, or having to fiddle with corsets and the like for lunch, or even of being rescued by knights as we're all gagged and collar-chained together. OK with any of the above for Sticky Ends. I think I'm OK with having disposable characters replaced by new concepts, but equally OK with long-lasting ones.

[Kiric Rand]

So I think my weakness here is I don't know either system that is being proposed here.


A Character Idea!: I am thinking an elven sorceress or warlock 
A System Preference!  Pathfinder, though I don't know many beyond D&D, i have a little experience with pathfinder
What You Want!  A fun group, and maybe a little on the smutty side
Kinks!  I am pretty open to most things, and have been wanting a chance to play a female character for a while. I don't mind discriptions and if hte character dies it dies, I just don't want a forced death so to speak
Anything Else! 

[Aylinas]

So much for six - loads of replies and interest in this thread. Will we have a dance-off to determine who gets in? :D

This is, to say the least, more interest than I expected when I got 4 warm to luke-warm replies in my interest check thread.

I'm just going to sit here and quietly panic as I decide what I'm going to do about it.

[Snake]

There's no need to panic if the players are amiable to work with each other too ^^

[Chulanowa]

Well, the easiest way to deal with it is just pick what six you'd most like to run for. It's your game, after all, you get to cherry-pick while we wrassle.

• A CHARACTER IDEA!: I have two, actually! The first is a tribal-type character, exiled from their home in those jungle-and-swamp-looking hexes in the south of your map. She needs to find the Great and Powerful McGuffin (within the shrine) to reclaim her rightful place, or gain power enough to take it by force. The second idea is sheltered "scholar"-type, flying by the seat of her skirts and pure luck through misadventures. Think Evie from "The Mummy." She's heard of some cache of strange fey magics and artifacts, and absolutely must document them before the forest claims them for good, or something. Class and race of either option are up for juggling, as I find I tend to work best building into a group  :-)

• A SYSTEM PREFERENCE!: Pathfinder, most definitely.

• WHAT YOU WANT!: Well in a word, "fun". I see a lot of possible humor and camp value in what you'd laid out, amid bright splotches of pulp-style adventure and steamy sceneing. I'm not real big on "grit 'n' blood" roleplay currently, and would really like a game painted in bright primary colors. Not necessarily a "comedy" game, but one where wisecracks won't completely ruin mood.

• KINKS!: Futa's a lot of fun for me, as are effeminate males and strong 'n' tall ladies.  I'm not adverse to "yiff" or zoophilia. really specific things run the gamut from mood to mood. Some pretty constant offs are your bog-standard blood, vore, and toilet stuff. Violent rape (as opposed to coercive or seductive) is an off, though one of those two following from having one's ass kicked isn't. Hyperphallic dicks and double-J cup breasts just strike me as ridiculous. I prefer to play things out in general.

• ANYTHING ELSE! Will there be sweet fizzy drinks the accompany all the cake that seems to be accumulating here?

[VonDoom]

Sadly I have to withdraw interest. Overlooked the posting expectations of 4+ a week on first read and I just can't keep up with that consistently right now.

[JoanieSappho]

I didn't know this had gone from interest to recruiting. BUT I DO NOW!

A Character Idea!   Halfling of wealth, if not full-on nobility. Probably rogue or bard, although focused on  the social and support side of things. Good at helping others, and very good at talking and dealing with people. Male initially, going to effeminate and eventually female
A System Preference! Yay, Pathfinder
What You Want Fun and a bit of smuttytimes.
Kinks! Unless there's blood or poop, most things. In particular, though, large amounts of cum, groping, not-violent non-con, feminisation and large things just barely fitting into small holes.

[Rune]

Four plus posts a week will not be a problem. I tend to average twice a day. I prefer longer posts instead of a single sentence or statement.

Although I proposed and older style of DnD to help the game move faster. I am more then willing to play Pathfinder.

I agree with the above post. Select the characters/Players that you think would be best with your ideas. Message players for more information if needed. Don't try to take on too much. Above all else, have fun.

[AnneReinard]

Okay. I must admit. Now I am sort of tempted to join the trap to full gender transformation side of things. There is a certain appeal to a slightly slower potential descent.

...but maybe I should settle on a concept in my head first. So many ideas to boil down into one thing!

Relevant question. The curse seems to prefer beautiful over not. Is it safe to assume that Charisma will not be tied to physical attractiveness, were you to go with the Pathfinder rules?

[Aylinas]

Relevant question. The curse seems to prefer beautiful over not. Is it safe to assume that Charisma will not be tied to physical attractiveness, were you to go with the Pathfinder rules?

It is safe to assume that Charisima is not tied to phyiscal attractiveness in this game, just a measure how how persuasive you re.  Not that I'm a huge fan of charisma checks as opposed to just... talking and being convincing.


And thanks for the advice everyone.   I'll try to pick a team that works well together (can get in similar scenes without making anyone uncomfortable) and maybe run a second one if there's a LOT of interest (Though I may decide that's too much to take on).   
Either way, I think I'll stop taking apps in a week and see what I'll do from there.

[Snake]

I feel I should apologize to you Aylinas for sounding like a whiner. Just had bad experiences with "bad endings" in the past.

[AnneReinard]

New idea that I updated on my post! Now I am leaning toward a smug mercenary type who took a drunken dare that went really, really poorly at the end of the day. Mechanically, probably a brawler, if in Pathfinder.

[Snake]

That's why you never drunkenly pull the short straw.

[Aylinas]

I feel I should apologize to you Aylinas for sounding like a whiner. Just had bad experiences with "bad endings" in the past.

Not at all.   I know a lot of DMs get power-trippy and it's very reasonable paranoia.

[Muse]

That said, regarding 15 point buy vs. 20 -- there actually is very little difference. 15 point buy usually actually makes the attempts by players to min-max/optimize worse since it's not like you have much room to round a character out with left. I usually advocate granting a different point buy by class choice, even if it may seem unfair at first glance -- a single attribute based caster has far more room to round out by concept and still be effective with their cosmic spell power than, say, a Fighter.

Much less a cleric.  ^_^;; 

[Snake]

I managed a build for this at least but I'm just wondering what would work best: a Thief that wants the loot or a warrior on th lam. XD Or a mage type (at last they'd have a chance of making the will saves.)

[Grizzly]

There are some really good character ideas and a couple that come from, I suspect, folks reading my thoughts.  :)

A Character Idea!
A young knight of minor noble birth on a journey to save his family fortune.  The only way to save the family keep is a good marriage but who would want to marry a poor knight?  In order to make himself more...attractive to ladies from wealthy families, he needs to complete a great quest and have obtained a great reward.  If the great reward comes at very little risk, that's not a bad thing, and there was that one rumour of a great treasure in the Laughing Fey Forest.

A System Preference!
I'm familiar with Pathfinder but have never played FATE.

What You Want!
Sexy situations, gender change shenanigans, awkward situations, general adventure.  The newly Maidenized knight trying to figure out how he's going to explain this to his family, who will no doubt be disappointed, and try to find a way to reverse the curse.  Perhaps the family decides that it's easier to marry off an attractive daughter instead and that they have been blessed rather than cursed and send suitors the knights way.

Kinks!
Hmm.  Top of my head I'd have to say transformations, gender change, bondage, same sex stuff, animals, I'm willing to give most stuff a try.  Not terribly interested in anything that involves scat and the like.

I don't mind writing out the erotic elements or a fade to black if it will help keep things moving along.  Not sure what you mean by disposable character so I'll have to say no to that.  As for bad things happening to the character, I have no problem with that.

[Sethala]

Saw this just now, and while I've been in a bit of an RP slump, I really like this idea and really hope I can focus enough to keep up!  I've been talking with Muse and decided we'd like to play sisters, if we can both get in.  Still hashing out concept, so this will probably get a few updates.

A Character Idea! 

Muse and I are making drow sisters, myself as a summoner.  They came to the surface looking for fame and treasure, and naturally rumors of a treasure-filled shrine quickly got their attention.  Being a summoner, not only was she cursed, but her eidolon was transformed as well... though while my girl has to worry about losing herself to the curse, the eidolon has no such worries, and delights in tormenting both of us whenever she can get away with it.

A System Preference! 

Pathfinder, preferably.

What You Want!

Just seeing a girl sexually tormented is always fun, but when she's normally capable and able to hold her own, and forced to submit to attackers.... mm, definitely one of my favorite ideas.

Kinks!

Just about anything other than scat, watersports, guro, or futa is fine with me.  As for major ons, humiliation and orgasm/pleasure control are two big ones.  But just about everything else you've listed is definitely something I'd like to see.  I'd love to play out sex scenes in their entirety, at least at first; perhaps a fade to black timeskip if she'd be stuck somewhere for an extended time.  As for bad ends, considering she's related to another character I don't think that would work, but perhaps if we could plan something out OOC with the three of us I'd be interested.

Anything Else!

I'd really like to play around with my girl's eidolon being the one to take over and sexually abuse our girls, making the adventure quite a bit more difficult (as if it wasn't already!)

[VonDoom]

As a note, let me know if you end up going with a slower posting rate or form a second group that doesn't have to go as fast, then I'd be all over that again.

[Muse]

  Now that I'm teaming up with Sethala, I'll be a sorceress instead of a wizard.  : )

[MiraMirror]

Hum, I'd love to make sibling characters with someone...Always awesome. <3

[Rune]

Could be temping to have a sibling to go with my Prince. But let's wait until we know who makes the cut before we start making ties to other players.

[MiraMirror]

Fair point, Rune. There could always be the rural sibling to your royal. ^^

[Muse]

An'zara Ishmael

Work in progress. 

Is it too soon to start ?

[Karasu]

Oh dear god color my interested!

I typically make shy/bookish characters But I'd be willing to make someone a touch different if my muse strikes.. I also play males way the hell beter than females..

[Aylinas]

Work in progress. 

Is it too soon to start ?

There'll be time for statting out characters when the group is sorted.   I mean, nothing's STOPPING you from making a character in full but it's a lot of work before anything is set in stone.  I'd rather not have people make full characters and then not get to use them.

[Kiric Rand]

Wow, lots of interested parties here

[MiraMirror]

I'm actually going to withdraw from the running on this one, just to make sure I don't overload myself. I don't think I can really stitch up a concept that fits this setting well enough, so have at it. ^^

[freeko]

I would be interested in a game like this, VERY interested. I think having my character repeatedly being smutted silly would be like the best game ever because I love having a character fighting a losing battle. I think about the only thing I am not really into is the bondage aspect, but just giving an extra helping of pretty much anything else on the menu instead I would be fine with. Possibly pregnancy as an alternative? Being captured is also fine so long as I get to play out a desperate struggle to escape, or the party potentially has a chance to rescue anyone that ends up captured. Success in the attempted escape certainly need not be successful, it is just more a manner to keep me/my character engaged until the bitter end where they finally break if it comes down to it.

Since pathfinder is the likely system, I would almost certainly play a Paladin that is investigating rather odd happenings. Of course it is mere rumor and happenstance as the actual evil in play is not known, though my character would likely be able to sense that something is amiss. My character would be female, and hopefully stay that way. I have little desire for M/M happening to my character, so I would hope to remain a female through the campaign. I am not too set on the class of character that I would play, so I can adapt and adjust for the most part. Though I would like to stay on the swords side of swords and sorceries, I think I am familiar enough with Pathfinder and experienced enough as a d&d/pf player to play well.. anything.

I would also ask that my character not have to interact with any manner of herm/futa since that is a 100% gamebreaking turn off for me. Aside from that, I would have no problem with any of the other proposed enemies, and quite prefer monsters like tentacles or slimes constantly ravaging my character. I think having the clothing be destroyed or removed only to magically appear in the characters backpack again is a clever idea. I am quite fond of having clothing destroyed as part of combat.

I think about the only thing I expect out of this game is to have a good time. I tend to enjoy most of the subject matter that this game revolves around (aside from the bondage). So I think I pretty much want to get my character in the game so it can get explored by as many different creatures as possible. Let me know if this is an idea you can run with. I basically would pick a character that would fill in whatever the party was lacking though the motive for my character would likely be similar to what I had posted for the proposed Paladin that I would ideally like to play.

[Yarnover]

I suppose there could be two paladins.

[Rune]

Instead of my Prince being a Paladin, I might go fighter or bard or magus (fighter-mage), depending on what is needed in the group.

[Yarnover]

Or three!  ;)

[Rune]

I am not locked into a specific class (although I tend to avoid playing rogues or religious characters)

Would it be possible for my character to be a fighter before he go to the shrine, then afterwards finds herself too delicate to be a fighter, thus having to learn to be a sorceress or druid or bard?

I am not fussy about the class, as long as I get to play.

[Karasu]

I'm alway decent at playing Bookish types and Casters. or Oracles/summoners and the odd Cleric.

character concepts are elluding me for solo stuff.. But perhaps someone would like a little Half-elf sibling or child?

While I like to keep flexible about these sorts of things, even intuitive classes like barbarians and sorcerers assume you've had at least a year of training before you can do anything useful with it.    Sorcerers are born with magic that they struggle to control, bards have to learn to play an instrument/learn a repitoire of songs to the point where they physically inspire people with them and druids... well they have to go on a spirit journey, commune with nature, learn a SECRET LANGUAGE....

I'm not saying it's impossible.  Maybe your fighter just happens to be a good singer and heard tunes at the bars...  But it will require a good reason why you're suddenly as good as another level 1 character who spent x amount of time actually in training for their class.

But perhaps someone would like a little Half-elf sibling or child?

Let's do make sure everyone is above the age of consent, please.  I may be misreading that but I'd like to say it anyway.

[Rune]

Not a problem about the class thing.

I assume we are starting at 1st level.

Since I am pretty flexible, I will wait and see what everyone else in the group are bringing.

Regardless, my background will remain the same, a Prince from a foreign land seeking the most beautiful princess in the land that he was foretold that he would find.

[JoanieSappho]

As for me ... halfling prince/noble/rich type who has/had a terrible habit of usin women. Let's make it somewhat ironic/appropriate for him to hit this curse.

[freeko]

[Fight][Talk][Item][Magic][Run]
   ^
That is the choice I generally tend to make.

Generally I just feel like playing a Paladin is like my security blanket of sorts. I can certainly switch to something else if need be, but the general idea of how my character approaches things will not differ from aside from being able to sense the evil to being simply told that something evil is afoot here and she is dispatched by the society (or insert other reason here) to fight battle it into oblivion.

[Sethala]

I was thinking a bit about the idea of bad ends, and was wondering if it would be possible to have something like bad ends, but not permanent.  Something like having the bad end happen for a while, but a bit later (hours, maybe days, maybe longer?), some sort of deus ex machina happens to free my girl so she can go on and escape.

I like this idea.

Fun, certainly, though it's hard to plan around.   As I mentioned, even if the party's captured and mercilessly screwed, you can still come up with methods and means of escape... and I'll step in with a dues ex machina if it looks needed.   The only real "Failure State" would be getting killed, everyone succumbing to the curse or the particularly rare and obvious polymorphs... and that last case can be tweaked as well.

Sounds fair, and aside from maybe the curse, those really don't sound appealing to me anyway, so that works out.

[Karasu]

Let's do make sure everyone is above the age of consent, please.  I may be misreading that but I'd like to say it anyway.

But of course! One can still be a child of someone and be an adult of age for their respective species. being a child of just says that said character was born of another character.

IE: Mary is the child of John and Anna. Mary is also 47.

Similar for Siblings. Could be twins, or slightly younger. depending on the age ^^

[Snake]

My thief is barely above it for this, maybe not a good idea to use her. Only lke 18 but is a master thief already

[Blue Leah]

Okay. After a few days of plotting- and realizing that the Wild Experimenter is 3PP, and not really valid as an option- I've settled on an Anti-magic focused Spellscar Oracle with the Haunted curse.

The plan is for Rylle to be a chipper girl, in her early to mid twenties,whose magic is wild and untamed.  It even influences her in her daily life, like a ghostly presence that is never far from her side. Of course, never knowing what element you're conjuring can be a bit of a hassle, and the primal magic events that pop up around her can be problematic- so, she has dedicated her life to learning how to control those spells, or even negate them entirely. She figures that, if she can't shape the Primal energies, she can at least try to quell them.

Which, of course, is why she came to the Shrine.

She doesn't know precisely what it is, of course. But she has heard that there was some powerful, ancient magic that could change her. Maybe, she figures, the shrine can help her to assert more control over her own magicks...

[Aylinas]

*clicks*

And that'll be everyone I consider.

Thanks for all the interest everyone.   I'll look over all the apps and make a decision on things now.

[Blackshade10]

Ah, damn it, I just missed it, just as I was writing to ask if this was still open. 

Ah well, have fun guys.

[AnneReinard]

And now time for everybody to pace until they see who Aylinas is interested in! PACE PACE PACE!

[Rune]

Fingers crossed. Will bribes be accepted.

[Ershin]

*clicks*

And that'll be everyone I consider.

Aww. :(

[Sethala]

Ah, pity.  I would've loved another chance to play with you, Ershin :3

[Aylinas]

SO THEN.

After a rather lot of deliberation and fretting and second-guessing myself I've decided to go with two groups and....  here they are!

Group 1
Sethala
Muse
AnnieReinard
JoanieSappho
Rune
Snake

Group 2
Chulanowa
Grizzly
Freeko
Wenterburn
Dom Joe
Blue Leah


This isn't set completely in stone, of course.   If people want to hop groups or are interested in playing with specific people that's fine, we just need to end up with two groups of 6.   ^^;;;

So yeah!   This thread is a pretty good place to discuss character tweaks and details or collaborate on relationships and whatnot, as well as ask any last minute questions.   I'll get up some threads for OCC, Character Sheets/Bios and, of course, the main game thread soon~ish and link them here.  I'll shoot these links in PMs to the players as well so don't worry about missing them.

Thanks again for all the interest everyone!  I hope the game lives up to expectations.


(I've decided to go with a 20 point buy in the end, btw.  Seems to be more fun for people; fun being theoretically the point of all this.)

Darn!  I missed it!

I'm sorry!  D:  If I'd gotten any more I'd have had to make even MORE cuts or a third group which we didn't have enough for/I'm not crazy enough to attempt.

[Sethala]

Yay!

So, Aylinas, I mentioned as part of my character idea of having my summoner's eidolon end up as very dominant towards my character.  Would you like to take advantage of that, or do you have enough ideas and stuff to work with?

And for the other players in my group, would you also like to be teased and tormented by my eidolon?

[AnneReinard]

Yay! I'll have to start scheming in earnest for my Brawler!

...and... I might be interested. ...but I-I don't think Eidolons are into slutty outfits.

[JoanieSappho]

Now to start throwing around numbers for my halfling bard. Who is the sort of guy who actually deserves this curse.
If your eidolon wants' to play with this little, increasingly feminine man, feel free.

[freeko]

Well, hopefully I can figure out how not to charge right into a bad end for the party I am in.

Would it be wrong of me to make minor adjustments to my sheet once I know what the rest of my party is playing? Maybe a skill or two at most if anything at all.

[Aylinas]

Yay!

Depends a bit on what your eidolon is.  I also imagine you wouldn't want it to happen right away?   It IS, after all, supposed to be fighting for you.  ...And theoretically it's bound to you by arcane forces or somesuch.  Still, it can work out, certainly.

Feel free to tweak and adjust your character as much as you like.  What character class you were playing didn't factor in to if you got picked or not. 
The preparation time is kind of exactly meant FOR stuff like that.  Even after the game offically starts a few small tweaks are fine.

[Chulanowa]

So for group two it looks like...

Chulanowa - ???
Grizzly - Some sort of knight...?
Freeko - Paladin
wenterburn - roguish bard, or bardlike rogue
Dom Joe - Swashbuckler or Warpriest
Blue Leah - Oracle

[Sethala]

I imagine it would fight for me, for the most part, but may decide to turn on me if it thinks things would be interesting.  Naturally, everything can just be handwaved by saying the curse altered the arcane bond, or somesuch.

I'm figuring the eidolon used to be a normal monster, but got changed into a similar monstergirl with the curse.

[Aylinas]

It can certainly work.  I suppose they can take whatever form you prefer after the curse hits.

[Yarnover]

Well.... thanks for considering me, anyway. Have fun, everyone!

[Rune]

Core classes only, or do you allow classes from the supplements? How are you handling race changes. Will it affect racial abilities?

Before I work up my character, I would like to verify what people are playing.

Group 1
Sethala - female summoner
Muse - drow sorceress
AnnieReinard - mercenary
JoanieSappho - halflng rogue or bard
Rune - Prince turned Princess (Monk?/Bard?/Paladin?)
Snake - Female Thief or Male Gladiator

Looks like we are light on healing.

[AnneReinard]

Hrm. It's not inconceivable that I could swap things around if people wanted to cover some gaping hole.

That being said, I am quite fond of the mercenary concept in my head! Mechanically speaking, likely a Brawler.

[Rune]

I am thinking Bard, focused on court skills over entertaining, but might go Magus if the class is allowed.

[Muse]

  Drow Sorceress here, Rune.  And Sethala--my twin sister--is a Summoner. 

  Aylinas, has anyone asked about background skills yet? 

[Aylinas]

Core classes only, or do you allow classes from the supplements? How are you handling race changes. Will it affect racial abilities?

Core, base, hybrid and unchained classes are fine.  Anything else you'l need to run by me.

I didn't... plan on having people's race change, just gender, so it won't effect racial abilities.

Aylinas, has anyone asked about background skills yet? 

*Has to look that up*

Oh THAT.  No one's asked about it, no.

It's a nice system for sure, gives some love to the less-popular skills.  Though I worry about how many optional systems I should add. >.>;  Don't want to make it more complex than it needs to be.

[Re Z L]

...and... I might be interested. ...but I-I don't think Eidolons are into slutty outfits.

Or, if you're a Synthesist the Eidolon could be the slutty outfit!

[AnneReinard]

...DO NOT TEMPT ME. Synthesist is broken as hell.

[JoanieSappho]

Well, if you're allowing Unchained, then I feel I should probably urge anyone thinking of making a rogue to at least look up the unchained rogue. It's really quite good.
As for my questions: We're  doing the usual two traits, right? How about the 'get a third trait, but then you have to take a drawback' option?
(I really only need one trait, since I'll be building around it, but best to know for sure where the limits are.)

[Kiric Rand]

well, have fun everyone

[Aylinas]

You can take a third and a drawback.

Gosh you guys will WIN with all this min-maxing

[freeko]

I reject this min/max shenanigans and substitute smut instead.

[JoanieSappho]

My drawback's already decided. Hedonism will screw me in pretty much all senses of the word, don't worry.  :P

[Sethala]

Or, if you're a Synthesist the Eidolon could be the slutty outfit!

Oh, I had forgotten about Synthesist...

Now I'm debating the curse turning my eidolon into a sexy monstergirl that only obeys my commands when it suits her, or a set of clothes that tend to get very grabby at all the wrong times...

[Grizzly]

So for group two it looks like...

Chulanowa - ???
Grizzly - Some sort of knight...?
Freeko - Paladin
wenterburn - roguish bard, or bardlike rogue
Dom Joe - Swashbuckler or Warpriest
Blue Leah - Oracle

I was leaning towards a Paladin or a Cavalier.  Something man-at-arms-ish.  If we already have a Pally, I'll see what else I can come up.  The character concept was left deliberately vague for just such a case.  :)

[Karasu]

If anyone wants help making a character. I have hero lab for pathfinder and can whip up characters in roughly 30 mins. ^^

[freeko]

I think I submitted a sheet already for this? I cant even access it until I get home tomorrow. Could someone post that sheet so I can at least ignore the changes people are suggesting?

In other news, I might want to take you up on that herolab offer.

[Karasu]

gladly, send me a PM with your concept and Ability scores and I'll help ya out ^^

I onyl really ahve core stuff, and Ultimate Magic/combat/Equipment for stuff, soo if it's Core. I've got it ^^

[Snake]

I'm still working on my character for this one. I'm curious to what you guys in team 1 would prefer? The fem Thief, male gladiator or possibly a *coin fliip gender* cleric or alchemist?
