Hey, if we're going to play on google wave, I'ma need an invite. Or something. :?

Depending on when you guys are going to be playing, and how it meshes up with my schedule, I'd love to play.
That seems like the biggest hurdle, getting everybody on the same page at the same time. Have we figured that out?

Also I'm not familiar with Pathfinder, is it dramatically different from standard 3.5 D&D?

Personally, I think halflings are overrated as rogues.  Elves or humans are the way to go.

OR Goblins. Ever see a level 1 character with a +14 to hide?

On the downside, Lawful Stupid NPCs will commonly attempt to kill goblins, I would imagine.

Thats probably why goblins have that racial affinity to hide in the first place, but yeah, it depends on the kind of campaign your playing.
I did run an all goblinoid game for a while, which was a  lot of fun.

Jasper

Good question.  What kind of campaign should we play? 

Cain

I reckon Freeky should base the plot off random TV Tropes pages, and the personalities of various NPCs from Friends characters.

its about the same level of change as 3.0 to 3.5.  Double checking everything you do at character creation and reading up on the combat maneuver (grapple, disarm etc) stuff should be sufficient.

A premise would be good to know, yeah.

I know I haven't been active at all lately, but I'm chiming in to say that I love tabletop RPs, and the one I'm involved in is a little slow due to one of my players having housing problems (which should be resolved with him moving into an apartment this weekend), and that I'm DM, and haven't had a chance to play rather than run a game in a good while. If my schedule permits and you guys are still taking players, I might want in the game, though I would have to acquaint myself with the changes between 3.5 and Pathfinder, or if there are too many players for one game I might consent to running another rp for the folks here. (Warning: it would probably be nWoD Hunter with elements of Discordia thrown in for hilarity and intrigue, so people who dislike WoD, dislike hunter, dislike conspiracy theories, dislike me, or dislike fuzzy bunnies should not vote for the latter option.)

Working backwards:

I had a few things in mind. Urban crawling, for the most part for a bit.

Like Requia says, Pathfinder is very similar to 3.5. If you know the 3.5 system, there aren't many rules you don't already know the basics to, but the details have changed in a lot of things.

Goblins are NOT a playable race, due to them being, you know, evil. Elf, 1/2 elf, 1/2 orc, halfling, human, gnome and dwarf only.

Rebuttal to Cain's assesment of lawful stupid: Probably, but do you consider the entire lawful good spectrum to be lawful stupid? If it's played smart, it isn't bad. I'm in a campaign right now where our cleric is LG and I have a kobold cohort.

KOBOLD. COHORT.  :D

And age does not have any determining whatsoever on a campaign unless it spans a few years in game time and you put the age too close to the next age bracket.

ETA: I can't play weekends, and sometimes I'll get kicked off during the week. But I'm usually on at least half the day during the week and at night too.

Cain

Oh no, Lawful Good can be done without being an idiot (see: Sam Vimes for an awesome Lawful Good type character) it just seems to be the case that inferior players either forget the "good" part, and try to slaughter every possibly evil creature they can, or become suicidal in their attempts to do good (like attempting to convert an illithid).

Freeky

Hah! Very true. Luckily I game with experienced players.

I always figured Sam Vimes to be more LN, but I guess you're right. He does have more of a tendency towards good than neutral, especially after he has a family.

I've wanted to get into DnD for a while, but I never got a chance. I definitely want in if the rest of you are ok with an annoying noob.
My shit list: Stephen Harper, anarchists that complain about taxes instead of institutionalized torture, those people walking, anyone who lets a single aspect of themselves define their entire personality, salesmen that don't smoke pipes, Fredericton New Brunswick, bigots, philosophy majors, my nemesis, pirates that don't do anything, criminals without class, sociopaths, narcissists, furries, juggalos, foes.

Freeky

Sure, and I keep meaning to mention to all you people who are new to D&D totally, I can help you until you get the hang of it yourself.

Oh hey, Cain. They took away XP usage for making magic items like scrolls and potions and wands and everything else. Now it's just gold. :fap:
