LF Pathfinder GM for Planescape Rock(?) Band on Tour

[Chanticleer]

If we start at level 5, I am totally taking a Leadership Feat to have groupies. :P Because fuck it :P

You don't take a Leadership Feat to have groupies, silly person!

You take a Leadership Feat to have groupies that you can control (As opposed to the ones who try to kidnap you off to a dark barn somewhere and keep you in the basement playing for them and fulfilling their dark, lustful desires).

You know what? Count me interested... someone else gotta run it though, 'cause yall spammed my thread with this  :P

You're assuming that they actually care who's clothes they're wearing.   And now, I have to find the unchained summoner.....

Hmpf. Maybe MYNX doesn't care, but she makes all of his dresses smell like PERVERTED GNOME.

Damn, he needs a name.

EDIT: Thorne, something's wrong with the image link for your character?

[Bibliophilia]

You said you liked that smell!  -huff.-  At least she doesn't molt in them!

[Chulanowa]

You're not showing me anything that Berke Breathed didn't already.

Exactly :P
I take Leadership Feats to have Groupies that can keep the crazier groupies under control :P
My "Followers" will be my fanclub :P :P
My rabble rousing, rioting, evil fanclub. That I also drain of blood and occasionally fuck.

Still not sure whether she'd be a futa or not. xD

[Hunter]

If you need to ask....the answer is probably yes.

[Thorne]

I mean, unless the group already having one means anything?

(.. I have /one/ in my entire folder, and Cyrellia is that one...)

[Chanticleer]

I'm kind of wishing I was more into GMing than playing this, now, because I can see this being a very easy sort of serial-scenario thing.

It's not got an overall plot arc, it's just 'throw the problem blocking tonight's show at the party and run screaming.'

"Your road manager's terribly upset. Seems the place you were playing tonight was double-booked by the local Pharasman Choir, and they're already setting up. You have four hours to make sure none of their handbills remain, all of yours are up, and they somehow don't make it to the show. All eighty of them. GO," etc., ad infinitum.

[Chulanowa]

Agreed, this is -perfect- for episodic styles, with the occasional scooby doo or on the road" subplot. 'Cause what was "Pick of Destiny" but a hero's journey culminating in a dungeon crawl and boss fight?!

[Hunter]

Or a case of wondering who switched the usual music selection with the summoning spell for a greater demon lord.

Exactly!!!

No, I think, no, wait, you've got that backwards. We spent a LOT of gold on that stage effects budget and our fans are EXPECTING a greater demon lord...

We've got two choices. Find another virgin (they magically cease to exist within fifty feet of any band member) or dress Mynx up as a greater demon lord and hope the real one doesn't get offended...

*Steeples fingers*

Now we just need to find an easy GM with a sense of humor. Good grief, this thread has only existed for an hour...And I'm only responsible for about a sixth of it...

I'd be almost tempted to volunteer except that I wouldn't have a clue how to go about  it.

She already owns several sets of demon horns and possesses the Disguise skill necessary to pull this off...all she needs is someone to cast Enlarge Person.

A spell she probably already knows...given she's a perverted gnome.

Well, if she doesn't, my Skald probably knows it :P

Don't think of it as having to create a big, complicated game setup. Think of it as setting up problems to solve.

The bands instruments didn't get there on time because (REASONS).

The local booking agency didn't do their homework and has them opening for a bunch of Lawful Good paladins. They must be UPSTAGED!

There's something one of the band members won't go on stage without (M&Ms, drugs, sultry young aaracockra men) and the band has to find a replacement before the curtain goes up.

A teen dragon of the opposite sex is insisting that one of the band members knocked them up and creating a scandal among the local moral majority. Either prove it didn't happen (if the kobold's involved, it may have), silence the dragon somehow, or find some other way to keep the local moral mooks from shutting down the show.

Etc., etc. :)

What is Deep Speech for 'I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for those meddling kids'?  I have a feeling we're going to need to know.  Also, it occurs to me that we're basically creating the metal fantasy RP version of Josie and the Pussycats.

Now why am I having flashbacks to Elvira: Mistress of the Dark?

There you go. Any time a GM runs out of ideas they can just watch a few episodes of J&tP and mum's your coathanger.

Or however that British expression goes.

EDIT: You know, it's SO episodic that we could probably switch up GMs regularly on a 'per episode' basis. For that matter, we could even FRAME it like a mockumentary series...

How would folks feel about rotating GM duties? And is there anyone who'd rather not be part of that? And is there anyone who dares to kick it off? It would definitely assure us of a GM with 'the same vision' more or less...

[Hunter]

Let's see....Given I'm actually considering overseeing this train wreck.    The first concern I have is the setting?   Is it going to be some variant of modern day or what?

[Thorne]

Bob's your uncle, but no one is paying attention to Bob.
Also, I feel like Cyrellia should be on backup vocals, blue tongue and all ..

Uh.. Pick something that seems appropriate? Eberron? OMD. The Glitterdust Lounge! The band could be trying to get to play there!

[Chanticleer]

Not at all. I'm just thinking standard fantasy setting but with anachronistic musical insanity added in. Kind of like the 'Tauren Chieftains' in World of Warcraft. It makes no sense, you shouldn't try to make it make sense, it's just silly and fantastic and awesome.

Uh.. Pick something that seems appropriate? Eberron? OMD. The Glitterdust Lounge! The band could be trying to get to play there!

Oh yes. YES.

[Hunter]

I'm not really familiar with many of the worlds, so pick a setting you want to trash play in.    Since we're going outrageous already, why not go ahead and go with level 20?  No multi-classing though!    I can work up a list of 6 or 8 things that might go wrong and organize them into a list so they can be selected randomly.

Do you want to take on the role of the band manager, temporarily? This is the person responsible for (1) setting up gigs, (2) getting the band paid, (3) getting the band to perform (especially when they don't want to) and (4) keeping the band working together (when they start getting all tetchy at each other).

Basically 'mission control.'

And remember, if you get tired of GMing it, it's episodic. Find a good spot to roll credits, make yourself a band member, and we'll molest find another GM.

I have mixed feelings about level 20, but I'll defer to others. You don't want the band to be so powerful that 'normal dealings with the local police' (i.e., trying to get your drunk/drug-using/inappropriate race/sexually exhibitionistic band members out of jail) aren't a challenge, for example.

[Bibliophilia]

I'd prefer a lower level...like 5 or below.

[Thorne]

Maybe L10? High enough to be dangerous, low enough that there are still people who can stomp us into oblivion if we're dumb?

I'd prefer a lower level...like 5 or below.

This would also work for me.

[Vergil Tanner]

Oh, God no. Nooooo, not Level 20. That basically makes us world famous *Gods,* which takes the fun out of it.

I was thinking more like level 3 - 5-ish. Not noobs, but nowhere near world famous earth shakers.
