Going to try doing some Pathfinder again, and hopefully not crash and burn to do real life nonsense. To this end, I’m first going to do a general interest check to see who is interested in Pathfinder 1e these days, and what kind of campaign they might have interest in. Sort of making a pool I can draw from.

Ok. So. What do I need to know?
Where are you interested in playing: Forum / Discord
Experience With Pathfinder: None / Some
Are you open to House Rules: None / A bit / A lot
House Rule Requests:  --
Are you interested in any of the following:  Psionics / Path of War / Spheres
Are you interested in any other 3rd party or homebrew content: Y/N
What Starting Level ranges interests you: 0-4 / 5-9 / 10-14 / 15-19 / 20
Interested in any high-power variants: Mythic / Gestalt / other
Are you interested in…
Combat: As little as possible / dramatic, story-important fights only / yes
Exploration: let’s keep the map small / in-between / i want to go everywhere!Intrigue: straightforward, no twists or betrayals / maybe a few betrayals / let’s game of thrones this bad boy
Kingdom (or other being-in-charge-of-things stuff) Building:  nah / yeah!
Erotica: none / maybe a little / definitely (if yes, likely sexuality of character)
Are you interested in the following Settings:  Golarion, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, Ravenloft
Are you interested in homebrew settings:  Y/N
Are you interested in any of the following adventure paths (I don’tnecessarily want to run them exactly, but I’m interested in running something highly similar in terms of vibe and scenario)
Iron Gods
Skull & Shackles
Reign of Winter
Hell’s Rebels
Council of Thieves
Kingmaker
Strange Aeons

Lastly, I have a bit of a small pitch for a homebrew settings (more details to follow). It would be more of a sandbox game, with plenty of hooks for players to follow at their own pace, without necessarily having to keep up with a party. It could even facilitate characters of different power levels.  The main town would be a hub of sorts for characters to interact before going on their own semi-solo adventures. It’s a bit of an experiment, so I’m checking general interest before going all-in for it, but’s definitely the thing I want to do most if I can get the right interest in it.

~♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ~



In the center of the vast desert called the Sea of Solemnity is a place where the sun never rises. Located in this fold of time and space is the Night Oasis and the small town of Cocoon. The rift is relatively close to another oasis simply dubbed Caravan Crossroads, and this proximity gives it access to goods from all across the continent. Cocoon's draw is an out-of-the-way resort for adventuring types, and access to numerous portals to other worlds and the treasures found beyond. Apart from tourism and tariffs on recovered extraplanar booty, the town's primary source of income are the silk mines down below.


The sky is full of bright stars and auroras and ever-changing moons for twelve hours, and then experiences a torrential downpour for the next twelve hours. In lieu of convention day and night, time is thus kept by rain and shine. The town and oasis are surrounded by stardust dunes that wrap around to each other.  The only path out to the "normal" desert are several stone-paved roads (incoming visitors to the spatial rift inevitable find themselves traveling one of these roads into the oasis).


Currently, the majordomo of the oasis, Saturn Noctua, has put out calls for adventurers to come to the oasis in order to investigate possible incursions from other planes. While their defenses against prime material threats are well-girded, they are less sure about defending against schemes from other worlds. While not as well-connected as some planar hubs, it is still a strategic point for any organization seeking a multiversal foothold.

I have a mythic (heirophant) sorceress cutting deals with the orc valkyries to bring souls to her instead, since she has the setup to get them reborn right away. I have a gestalt chirurgeon around somewhere who specializes in granting teamwork feats and morale bonuses to mindless or willingly bound undead. I've adapted gods from other settings for what I'm pretty sure are quality custom Obediences. There are a few subsystems I haven't gotten to, and I've just ignored any 3PP.

The more there are, the better the hook needs to be, just for the extra work. But yeah, sure. Hit me. Especially if it's because of setting elements.

Only if they come up in a specific game, and typically only as suggestions for resolving an impasse.

Those are all even less balanced than Paizo's nonsense. I'd rather not, especially the complete overhauls. I've never seen a story better told for using them.

Oh, I answered this already. But small additions, like a custom archetype or something, itch much less than rebuilds, again.

What Starting Level ranges interests you: 0-4 / 5-9 / 10-14 / 15-19 / 20
Yes yes yes yes and yes. You just don't have the same kinds of games at different power tiers. I'm more drawn to the goofy possibilities of higher levels, but I'd give a commoner game a shot too.

Quote from: Snakes and Lasers on January 19, 2021, 12:43:06 PM
Interested in any high-power variants: Mythic / Gestalt / other
Yes, yes, both sure why not, and idk any others. Hero points never seemed to do much.

Combat: As little as possible / dramatic, story-important fights only / yes
Sure! Love it. Just don't expect me to go fiddly high-op. I make style and aesthetic builds, typically. And usually I wind up tapping a vein of synergy I wasn't expecting to, so I'm otherwise capable enough.

Quote from: Snakes and Lasers on January 19, 2021, 12:43:06 PM
Exploration: let’s keep the map small / in-between / i want to go everywhere!
This entirely depends on the story. I just... You can get good stuff working through the mysteries of a single city, for months and months. And you can get good stuff making a desperate journey to Leng for vital reagents. And you can definitely set a travelogue aboard an air-pirate ship puttering across the astral.

Intrigue: straightforward, no twists or betrayals / maybe a few betrayals / let’s game of thrones this bad boy
Just do what people would do? Some people do awful things. If they're all the people in a game, that game will be very dark and take a lot of finesse to run responsibly. It would also be kind of an extreme case. But I guess I'd prefer it to something so up front and frank that the NPCs don't seem to actually have motivations, just purposes. Caveat: that's actually a great thing to do to evoke a folktale feel, as long as that's the aim.

Quote from: Snakes and Lasers on January 19, 2021, 12:43:06 PM
Kingdom (or other being-in-charge-of-things stuff) Building:  nah / yeah!
Ooooo... Honestly, this is one of my favorite parts of the games that include it. The sorceress above had civic works and multiple levels of military strategy and trade deals with rakshasa and the true names of the 150 or so yeth hounds she released into the Visarian wilderness over about six weeks, to bottle them up in cities for a less-violent annexation.

Quote from: Snakes and Lasers on January 19, 2021, 12:43:06 PM
Erotica: none / maybe a little / definitely (if yes, likely sexuality of character)
Some of my characters are huge sluts. I had a cleric who took a vow of generosity that meant exactly what you're thinking. I've also had characters who surprised me by being ace. And some where it was just so irrelevant to their themes that I still haven't asked their tulpas for a response. Just tell me what to aim at, honestly. I'm also fine with depraved, in general, but if the IC gets into traumatizing stuff, I need the rest of the group to understand that and know they're playing with fire, OOC.

Quote from: Snakes and Lasers on January 19, 2021, 12:43:06 PM
Are you interested in the following Settings:  Golarion, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, Ravenloft
I know Golarion pretty well, and like it much more than the FR. Maybe it's because of the monomaniacal focus on the Sword Coast, but that setting just bores me to tears. I mean, that area does. I liked Calimshan. I love everything I've ever read about Eberron! I've never gotten to read enough of the setting info for my tastes, but the tone and topics are A+. That's actually my exact response for Dark Sun, Planescape, and Spelljammer, too. But I've been into the Domains of Dread since second edition was old but still relevant. Including conversations of the setting to Pathfinder, FASERIP, and 5e.

Quote from: Snakes and Lasers on January 19, 2021, 12:43:06 PM

Totally. I especially like player input on them for the sake of everyone's engagement.

Is this about Numeria or Baba Yaga's trip to sci-fi Russia? Both always felt sketch to me. But that was more about implementations than themes, so maybe!

Lastly, I have a bit of a small pitch for a homebrew settings (more details to follow). It would be more of a sandbox game, with plenty of hooks for players to follow at their own pace, without necessarily having to keep up with a party. It could even facilitate characters of different power levels.  The main town would be a hub of sorts for characters to interact before going on their own semi-solo adventures. It’s a bit of an experiment, so I’m checking general interest before going all-in for it, but’s definitely the thing I want to do most if I can get the right interest in it.

Tales of Iniquity, Intrigue, and Intimacy
~♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ~



In the center of the vast desert called the Sea of Solemnity is a place where the sun never rises. Located in this fold of time and space is the Night Oasis and the small town of Cocoon. The rift is relatively close to another oasis simply dubbed Caravan Crossroads, and this proximity gives it access to goods from all across the continent. Cocoon's draw is an out-of-the-way resort for adventuring types, and access to numerous portals to other worlds and the treasures found beyond. Apart from tourism and tariffs on recovered extraplanar booty, the town's primary source of income are the silk mines down below.


The sky is full of bright stars and auroras and ever-changing moons for twelve hours, and then experiences a torrential downpour for the next twelve hours. In lieu of convention day and night, time is thus kept by rain and shine. The town and oasis are surrounded by stardust dunes that wrap around to each other.  The only path out to the "normal" desert are several stone-paved roads (incoming visitors to the spatial rift inevitable find themselves traveling one of these roads into the oasis).


Currently, the majordomo of the oasis, Saturn Noctua, has put out calls for adventurers to come to the oasis in order to investigate possible incursions from other planes. While their defenses against prime material threats are well-girded, they are less sure about defending against schemes from other worlds. While not as well-connected as some planar hubs, it is still a strategic point for any organization seeking a multiversal foothold.

Vergil Tanner

I am very interested in doing a higher level Pathfinder game to play around with a concept or two that requires a high level to play properly. Lessee...

Where are you interested in playing: Forum, but I might be persuaded to Discord if it's a dealbreaker.
Experience With Pathfinder: A lot.
Are you open to House Rules: A little.
House Rule Requests: Elephant In The Room.
Are you interested in any of the following:  Psionics / Path of War / Spheres: I don't intend on playing any of those, but I suppose I don't mind if others use them.
Are you interested in any other 3rd party or homebrew content: Eh. Case by case basis. Some 3pp items or feats here and there, maybe?
What Starting Level ranges interests you: 10-14. My idea I wanna play needs to be level 11 to be "complete." xD
Interested in any high-power variants: I suppose I could do Gestalt. I've always wanted to play a high level Gestalt game.

Are you interested in…

Combat: Some combat, but not overwhelmingly so. Maybe 60 / 40 or 70 / 30? (Lower number is combat)
Exploration: In-between
Intrigue: Maybe a few betrayals
Kingdom (or other being-in-charge-of-things stuff) Building: I might dabble a little, but it wouldn't be a priority for my character starting out, at least.
Erotica: Definitely! (Female, Bisexual)
Are you interested in the following Settings: Golarion, Forgotten Realms. Maybe the others, but I haven't got much experience outside of Golarion or FR.
Are you interested in homebrew settings: Yes

Are you interested in any of the following adventure paths (I don’tnecessarily want to run them exactly, but I’m interested in running something highly similar in terms of vibe and scenario)
Iron Gods -- Maybe, yeah.
Skull & Shackles -- As long as we keep the underwater combat to a minimum >.>
Reign of Winter -- Never played it, so I don't know.
Hell’s Rebels -- GOD no. The intrigue and rebellion systems in that game were AWFUL. Plus, recent bad experience with a really bad HR GM.
Council of Thieves -- Never played it, soooo.
Kingmaker -- I might dabble, yeah.
Strange Aeons -- Again, never played it, so I can't make an accurate judgement.

Men in general judge more by the sense of sight than by that of touch, because everyone can see but few can test by feeling. Everyone sees what you seem to be, few know what you really are; and those few do not dare take a stand against the general opinion. Therefore it is unnecessary to have all the qualities I have enumerated, but it is very necessary to appear to have them. And I shall dare to say this also, that to have them and always observe them is injurious, and that to appear to have them is useful; to appear merciful, faithful, humane, religious, upright, and be so, but with a mind so framed that should you require not to be so, you may be able and know how to change to the opposite.

A noble philosophy; I adhere...for now.

Vreski

Hiiiiiii, it has been a while since I have been on here and I'm going to go ahead and plant my interest in this game. Also a big hug and kiss to those I recognize who have already posted interest.

Where are you interested in playing: Forum
Experience With Pathfinder: I've played lots.
Are you open to House Rules: A lot
House Rule Requests:  I don't have any.
Are you interested in any of the following: I'm open to those things if other people are interested.
Are you interested in any other 3rd party or homebrew content: Maybe some exotic races. I've kind of been wanting to play a goblin or a half Minotaur. Maybe a sexy futa elf or tiefling.
What Starting Level ranges interests you: I think it would be cool to play a higher level game. I rarely get to play those.
Interested in any high-power variants: Nope/font]
Are you interested in…
Combat: Yesh
Exploration: I want to go everywhere!
Intrigue: Let’s game of thrones this bad boy
Kingdom (or other being-in-charge-of-things stuff) Building:  Yeah!
Erotica: Definitely (if yes, likely sexuality of character) Bisexual  ;)
Are you interested in the following Settings:  Golarion, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, Ravenloft (I'm interested in all of them.
Are you interested in homebrew settings:  Yeppers

Iron Gods
Skull & Shackles

Kingmaker
Strange Aeons

I would be cool with any of those. You're homebrew setting seems cool too and if want to do it you should go for it.



indarkestknight

Where are you interested in playing: Comfortable with Forum or Disco
Experience With Pathfinder: Been DMing for years.
Are you open to House Rules: Some, sure. Maybe even a lot. Depends on whether the houserules.
House Rule Requests:  Not especially fond of low point buys.
Are you interested in any of the following: Psionics / Path of War / Spheres I'm open to all of them being part of the campaign setting, but I wouldn't cry over them if they were left untouched.
Are you interested in any other 3rd party or homebrew content: Y/N Yes.
What Starting Level ranges interests you: 0-4 / 5-9 / 10-14 / 15-19 / 20 Prefer 5 or higher, all the way up to 20, even into epic, but can live with 1-4.
Interested in any high-power variants: Mythic / Gestalt / other Mythic is fine... Gestalt... Depends? I don't object to Gestalt in principle, but I do get frustrated sometimes when I find myself with character ideas but I can't figure out a second class to tack onto the character. Other times it's great.
Are you interested in…
Combat: As little as possible / dramatic, story-important fights only / yes Yes.
Exploration: let’s keep the map small / in-between / i want to go everywhere! No strong preference.
Intrigue: straightforward, no twists or betrayals / maybe a few betrayals / let’s game of thrones this bad boy Not full game of thrones, but some twists are fun.
Kingdom (or other being-in-charge-of-things stuff) Building:  nah / yeah! No strong feelings one way or the other.
Erotica: none / maybe a little / definitely (if yes, likely sexuality of character) I can roll with anything from none to definitely. I would probably play a male or futa, attracted to females, futas, and fembois.
Are you interested in the following Settings:  Golarion, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, Ravenloft The top three settings I'm most familiar with are Golarion, Forgotten Realms, and Planescape. Of the others, Dark Sun would probably be my honorable mention.
Are you interested in homebrew settings:  Y/N Sure.
Are you interested in any of the following adventure paths (I don’tnecessarily want to run them exactly, but I’m interested in running something highly similar in terms of vibe and scenario) I'm interested in Iron Gods, Reign of Winter, Hell's Rebels, Kingmaker, and Strange Aeons. While not especially interested in Skull & Shackles, I am very interested in the 3pp campaign Razor Coast.

Would be cool with the Night Oasis setting, too.

Vergil Tanner

Oh, I forgot to mention, yes, I would be ok with the Night Oasis setting too.

Sarah Morgan

I could have sworn I posted something on this a couple of days ago, but apparently it didn't actually post.  Now I know why I wasn't getting email notifications from this topic.  Let's try this again!

Where are you interested in playing: Forum / Discord
Forum.

Experience With Pathfinder: None / Some
None, though I'd be willing to learn, and do readong of the rules.

Are you open to House Rules: None / A bit / A lot
Would prefer no house rules, being a newbie player, unless said rules made the game run smoother/quicker.

House Rule Requests:  --
None that I can think of at present.

Are you interested in any of the following:  Psionics / Path of War / Spheres
Would rather stick to basics, but will go with whatever the majority of other players would like to see.

Are you interested in any other 3rd party or homebrew content: Y/N
Yes.  Your Night Oasis idea sounds particularly fun.

What Starting Level ranges interests you: 0-4 / 5-9 / 10-14 / 15-19 / 20
0-4, to get a feel for mechanics, and help in character development.

Interested in any high-power variants: Mythic / Gestalt / other
No, but again will go along with the majority.  I know lots of people here have way more experience with Pathfinder than me.  I'm a 5E player myself, but would like to play more systems.

Are you interested in…
Combat: As little as possible / dramatic, story-important fights only / yes
Dramatic, story important fights only.

Exploration: let’s keep the map small / in-between / i want to go everywhere!
I'd like to explore everything, as long as the gM can handle it.  :)

Intrigue: straightforward, no twists or betrayals / maybe a few betrayals
/ let’s game of thrones this bad boy
Maybe a few betrayals.  Could be fun.

Kingdom (or other being-in-charge-of-things stuff) Building:  nah / yeah!
Yes, I'd be willing to try kingdom building eventually.  Probably couldn't start off with that goal in mind though.

Erotica: none / maybe a little / definitely (if yes, likely sexuality of character)
Am fine with none to definitely, though I'd prefer the scenes to develop character/story, and not be gratuitous.  Would play a female character, either straight or bisexual.

Are you interested in the following Settings:  Golarion, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, Ravenloft
Am most familiar with Forgotten Realms, though have heard of Golarion.  The others I'm less familiar with.  Would prefer Golarion or Forgotten Realms, or the previously mentioned Night Oasis idea.

Are you interested in homebrew settings:  Y/N
yes.

Are you interested in any of the following adventure paths (I don’tnecessarily want to run them exactly, but I’m interested in running something highly
similar in terms of vibe and scenario)
Iron Gods
Skull & Shackles
Reign of Winter
Hell’s Rebels
Council of Thieves
Kingmaker
Strange Aeons
I'm familiar with Strange Aeons, thanks to the Glass Cannon's playthrough of book one, so I'd be curious to play through it myself, and continue the story.  Have heard of Iron Gods and Kingmaker, though don't know anything else about them.

Phaia

Ok. So. What do I need to know?
Where are you interested in playing: Forum / Discord
I prefer forum myself.
Experience With Pathfinder: None / Some
Some, I have more experience with D&D but I have the 1e main book.
Are you open to House Rules: None / A bit / A lot
Depends on the house rule honestly!
House Rule Requests:  --
An Extra Trait; A GM Feat at certain levels one that is the same for everyone Example: Vital Strike
Are you interested in any of the following:  Psionics / Path of War / Spheres
No!
Are you interested in any other 3rd party or homebrew content: Y/N
Not Really!
What Starting Level ranges interests you: 0-4 / 5-9 / 10-14 / 15-19 / 20
5-9 or 10-14
Interested in any high-power variants: Mythic / Gestalt / other
Gestalt
Are you interested in…
Combat: As little as possible / dramatic, story-important fights only / yes
Dramatic, story important fights mixed with small scale tussles more dominance or plot
Exploration: let’s keep the map small / in-between / i want to go everywhere!
Small map I like the home grown you presented. A City scale sounds fun to me.
Intrigue: straightforward, no twists or betrayals / maybe a few betrayals / let’s game of thrones this bad boy[/size]
A Living breathing setting. Betrayals, rivalries, factions but also loyal and honest npcs
Kingdom (or other being-in-charge-of-things stuff) Building:  nah / yeah!
Building things is always fun!
Erotica: none / maybe a little / definitely (if yes, likely sexuality of character)
Erotica is a yes...AS long as it does not take away from the plot/story
Are you interested in the following Settings:  Golarion, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, Ravenloft
Golarion, Eberron [really want Sharn]
Are you interested in homebrew settings:  Y/N
Maybe, I like the one presented below
Are you interested in any of the following adventure paths (I don’tnecessarily want to run them exactly, but I’m interested in running something highly similar in terms of vibe and scenario)
Iron Gods maybe
Skull & Shackles no
Reign of Winter no
Hell’s Rebels dont know it
Council of Thieves maybe
Kingmaker maybe
Strange Aeons no

Lastly, I have a bit of a small pitch for a homebrew settings (more details to follow). It would be more of a sandbox game, with plenty of hooks for players to follow at their own pace, without necessarily having to keep up with a party. It could even facilitate characters of different power levels.  The main town would be a hub of sorts for characters to interact before going on their own semi-solo adventures. It’s a bit of an experiment, so I’m checking general interest before going all-in for it, but’s definitely the thing I want to do most if I can get the right interest in it.

I like the setting!

Image I would love to play



tangerine

Had taken a break from Elliquiy and looking to come back, and expressing my interest!

Where are you interested in playing: Forum / Discord
Either is fine for me.

Experience With Pathfinder: None / Some
Never played Pathfinder, but familiar with D&D 5e, and played some OSR variants.

Are you open to House Rules: None / A bit / A lot
Sure!

House Rule Requests:  --
I don't have anything specific at the moment, but I think some houserules that smooth out combat for a forum/online setting, and those that reward roleplaying and imagination over powergaming and optimal builds are attractive to me.

Are you interested in any of the following:  Psionics / Path of War / Spheres
I don't know what these are, but whatever makes things fun.

Are you interested in any other 3rd party or homebrew content: Y/N
I'm happy to start with getting familiar with the basic system first, but have no objections to others using expanded content.

What Starting Level ranges interests you: 0-4 / 5-9 / 10-14 / 15-19 / 20
Prefer low to mid level play.  I like clever play where some threats might be out of our league (or at least not a clear victory) in a head-on battle.  I prefer the feeling of real danger over being able to rush in and kill everything and the kitchen sink.

Interested in any high-power variants: Mythic / Gestalt / other
I don't know what these are, but again, am open to learning

Are you interested in…
Combat: As little as possible / dramatic, story-important fights only / yes
Dramatic, consequential combat, yes.  Don't like fights just for the sake of fights, as it risks feeling like a slog.  I prefer that minor skirmishes be narrated quickly with minimal dice, or even no dice where outcomes can be mutually agreed (and I'm open to not winning if it makes sense!).

Exploration: let’s keep the map small / in-between / i want to go everywhere!
Whatever is easiest for the DM... now that I've tried my hand at DMing, I realize that my big sprawling plans were too hard to manage!

Intrigue: straightforward, no twists or betrayals / maybe a few betrayals / let’s game of thrones this bad boy
I think struggling with a morally gray world is most compelling.

Kingdom (or other being-in-charge-of-things stuff) Building:  nah / yeah!
I'll go along with it as long as it is part of our character's development, and not something where our characters are completely accidental and interchangeable.

Erotica: none / maybe a little / definitely (if yes, likely sexuality of character)
Yes, but part of story and character building.  I'm not a big fan of excessive, randomly horny scenes ... and when there are no more consequential choices or developments, it's time to fade to black.  I also like playing in a setting with a real danger of non-consensual scenarios if poor decisions are made (I play female, usually straight or bi-curious IC, but also usually not actively seeking sexual liasons).

Are you interested in the following Settings:  Golarion, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, Ravenloft
Any is fine.

Are you interested in homebrew settings:  Y/N
Sure.

Are you interested in any of the following adventure paths (I don’t necessarily want to run them exactly, but I’m interested in running something highly similar in terms of vibe and scenario)
I only know about Kingmaker ... I'm flexible and open to whatever.

Lastly, I have a bit of a small pitch for a homebrew settings (more details to follow). It would be more of a sandbox game, with plenty of hooks for players to follow at their own pace, without necessarily having to keep up with a party. It could even facilitate characters of different power levels.  The main town would be a hub of sorts for characters to interact before going on their own semi-solo adventures. It’s a bit of an experiment, so I’m checking general interest before going all-in for it, but’s definitely the thing I want to do most if I can get the right interest in it.
The setting sounds great.  A sandbox sounds like a lot of work to DM - how much freedom are you thinking of giving to players to invent scenarios?

Endorphin

The questionnaire is a great idea and I'm always interested in Pathfinder 1e. It's such a great system:

Where are you interested in playing: Forum / Discord
Forum.

Experience With Pathfinder: None / Some
I’ve played and run many games of Pathfinder 1e and continue to do so now.

Are you open to House Rules: None / A bit / A lot
Some, as long as it doesn't break the game.

House Rule Requests:  --
None.

Are you interested in any of the following:  Psionics / Path of War / Spheres
Not particularly, but open to others using it if it's balanced.

Are you interested in any other 3rd party or homebrew content: Y/N
Not particularly, again open to others using it if it's balanced.

What Starting Level ranges interests you: 0-4 / 5-9 / 10-14 / 15-19 / 20
0-4. Low to medium level as a starting point.

Interested in any high-power variants: Mythic / Gestalt / other
Yes. Strong preference for Gestalt for very small groups or solo games.

Are you interested in…

Combat: As little as possible / dramatic, story-important fights only / yes
Yes, any time, any place.

Exploration: let’s keep the map small / in-between / i want to go everywhere!
Whatever the GM decides is good with me.

Intrigue: straightforward, no twists or betrayals / maybe a few betrayals / let’s game of thrones this bad boy
Twists and betrayals welcome, though not essential.

Kingdom (or other being-in-charge-of-things stuff) Building:  nah / yeah!
Nah. Prefer to focus on adventuring and forget about business affairs.

Erotica: none / maybe a little / definitely (if yes, likely sexuality of character)
Erotica welcome. Primarily hetero, depending on the character.

Are you interested in the following Settings:  Golarion, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, Ravenloft
Any of the above.

Are you interested in homebrew settings:  Y/N
Yeah, sure.

Are you interested in any of the following adventure paths (I don’t necessarily want to run them exactly, but I’m interested in running something highly similar in terms of vibe and scenario)
Iron Gods
Skull & Shackles
Reign of Winter
Hell’s Rebels
Council of Thieves
Kingmaker
Strange Aeons

Any of the above is good with me.

Lastly, I have a bit of a small pitch for a homebrew settings (more details to follow). It would be more of a sandbox game, with plenty of hooks for players to follow at their own pace, without necessarily having to keep up with a party. It could even facilitate characters of different power levels.  The main town would be a hub of sorts for characters to interact before going on their own semi-solo adventures. It’s a bit of an experiment, so I’m checking general interest before going all-in for it, but’s definitely the thing I want to do most if I can get the right interest in it.
Excellent idea. I’m already doing this and am open to discuss anytime.

O&O   |   F-List

Muse


Ok. So. What do I need to know?
Where are you interested in playing: Forum / Discord
Experience With Pathfinder: A lot, though still not as much as the older versions of D&D or some other games.   
Are you open to House Rules: Whatever the G.M. wants.  :) 
House Rule Requests:  Just try and make sure it's easy for us to know them all.  the rules are a language for interactive storytelling.  The better we all speak the language, the better the story. 
Are you interested in any of the following:  Psionics
Are you interested in any other 3rd party or homebrew content: Not really.  :)  Sometimes a diferent setting calls for some. 
What Starting Level ranges interests you: Any!  Around level 8-10 is fun for higher level games. 
Interested in any high-power variants: Again, I'm good with whatever the DM wants.  I favor Gestalt for small groups that need to have all their bases covered rather than as a power level.  Mythic is fun but i'm still learning it. 
Are you interested in…
Combat: Yes.  :)  In a D&D style story it can be fun to have an "incidental" combat.  It helps if they're story relevant, "The evil overlord is sending his patrols throughout the land."  "The army assembling in the mountains is driving out the usual monstrous inhabitants."   
Exploration: Neutral.  If the story involves exploration, awesome!  If the story works better if we put down roots and get invested in the area?  Also awesome!
Intrigue: A few is best.  Straightforewards is fine.  If every single NPC has plot changing secrets then we get jaded!
Kingdom (or other being-in-charge-of-things stuff) Building:  Neutral!  If the GM's going to have fun with it, I'm there! 
Erotica: Again, any of the above!  Incidental love play and maybe some romance as a backdrop to the adventure?  Great!  Leachers villain who brainswashes girls for his armiers of darnkess and sends out tentacle mosnters?  Equally great! 
Are you interested in the following Settings:  Golarion, Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Dark Sun, Planescape, Spelljammer, Ravenloft: All of the above!  i'm a tad bit overfed on ravenloft lately, but i'd still play! 
Are you interested in homebrew settings:  Sure!
Are you interested in any of the following adventure paths (I don’tnecessarily want to run them exactly, but I’m interested in running something highly similar in terms of vibe and scenario)
Iron Gods Fascinated
Skull & Shackles Curious
Reign of Winter Fascinated
Hell’s Rebels Don't know of it? 
Council of Thieves Don't know of it? 
Kingmaker  Dubious. 
Strange Aeons  Don't know it? Sounds Cthulhu heavy?  That's...  Not a positive.  :P

Lastly, I have a bit of a small pitch for a homebrew settings (more details to follow). It would be more of a sandbox game, with plenty of hooks for players to follow at their own pace, without necessarily having to keep up with a party. It could even facilitate characters of different power levels.  The main town would be a hub of sorts for characters to interact before going on their own semi-solo adventures. It’s a bit of an experiment, so I’m checking general interest before going all-in for it, but’s definitely the thing I want to do most if I can get the right interest in it.  I'd love to hear your pitch.  Is this it bellow?

Tales of Iniquity, Intrigue, and Intimacy
~♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ♪ ♫ ~



In the center of the vast desert called the Sea of Solemnity is a place where the sun never rises. Located in this fold of time and space is the Night Oasis and the small town of Cocoon. The rift is relatively close to another oasis simply dubbed Caravan Crossroads, and this proximity gives it access to goods from all across the continent. Cocoon's draw is an out-of-the-way resort for adventuring types, and access to numerous portals to other worlds and the treasures found beyond. Apart from tourism and tariffs on recovered extraplanar booty, the town's primary source of income are the silk mines down below.


The sky is full of bright stars and auroras and ever-changing moons for twelve hours, and then experiences a torrential downpour for the next twelve hours. In lieu of convention day and night, time is thus kept by rain and shine. The town and oasis are surrounded by stardust dunes that wrap around to each other.  The only path out to the "normal" desert are several stone-paved roads (incoming visitors to the spatial rift inevitable find themselves traveling one of these roads into the oasis).


Currently, the majordomo of the oasis, Saturn Noctua, has put out calls for adventurers to come to the oasis in order to investigate possible incursions from other planes. While their defenses against prime material threats are well-girded, they are less sure about defending against schemes from other worlds. While not as well-connected as some planar hubs, it is still a strategic point for any organization seeking a multiversal foothold.

This sounds neat!  I like the alien-but-familair flavor.  It has a lot of attitude.  I like the thought of conflict with outer planer threats. They can be really interesting.  They usually have a variety of resistances and abilities, and it helps a lot to play smart and find out how to defeat them.

So, something i'd prefer to avoid right now is an evil campaign.  I'm in a few.  Some of them are really not working for me.  Some are working better.  In an evil campaign i prefer to play a more dominant and perverse villain, rather than someone who relishes bloodshed.  I've generally got my share of these right now.  Plus I do that when i GM, and I GM a lot.  :)  I want to play a hero!
