PLAYERS/TIMES

Hanasawa: ANYDAY BUT SATURDAY AND THURSDAY
Garmr
Eyestott
Espeonage
Panzerjager: TUESDAY/WEDNESDAYS AFTER 2 PM PACIFIC/5 EASTERN

GENERAL INFO:

With the recent explosion in on-site interest in playing Dungeons & Dragons and Pathfinder, I've decided to mod a game if there's enough interest.
I do not want to exceed five players.
We'll be playing Pathfinder unless a majority of the players really would prefer to play something else. In that case, I would not mind running Legend of Five Rings, D&D 3.5, and Spellbound Kingdoms.
Sign up and we'll get to getting-to.
We'll likely be using Roll20 to play the game: http://roll20.net/
If you have any questions, just ask! You can post here, or message me with the chat-client or mafiascum PM system, or even contact me on Skype!

ABOUT SIGNUPS:

Please sign-up in this thread.
If you don't want to play Pathfinder, say so in your post. Otherwise, we're playin' Pathfinder.
Please include times in which you want to play. I want to run sessions that are at least 2 hours long, at most 5 hours, so keep that in mind.

REGARDING PATHFINDER:

If we play Pathfinder, then I will be running the game as follows:
Anything on this site is usable with exception of Third Party rules/options: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/
I reserve the right to tell you that you can't play certain classes/feats/spells. I'm generally pretty open, so if you're unsure of what you've chosen is cool, let me know.
That said, I will allow typically overpowered and usually-banned options so long as you don't abuse them. Leadership is a fun ability if roleplayed well and non-intrusive. It's a whole heap of shit if every player in the party has it and is just using it to get extra characters.
Our setting will be 100% my own. As far as deities and stuff go, let me know if you wanna know about 'em.
This setting is HEAVILY magical with access to Emerging Guns.
If you have a question, just ask~

BUILDING CHARACTERS (FOR PATHFINDER):

You've got a 25 Point Build. This calculator helps: http://tools.digitalightbulb.com/pbcalc.html
None of your base stats can be above 18 before adjustments (such as racial, class, items, etc.)
You will be starting at Level 5.
You may choose two starting Traits OR you may have a bonus starting feat.
For Health, use your full first Hit Die + CON Modifier, and then take the rounded-up average + CON MOD for every level after that. I'll double-check your health, but d6 HD = 4 HP per level, d8 HD means 5, d10 is 6, D12 is 7.
For Wealth and Gear, you will have 12,000 GP but you
may not
spend more than one-fourth that amount on any one item. This means your most expensive piece of gear cannot exceed a 3,000 GP cost.
If you're stumped on where to start with gear, consider a +1 Magical Weapon (or one with a damage property like Flaming/Frost/Shock), Bracers of Armor, a stat-increasing Belt/Headband, Amulet of Natural Armor, Ring of Deflection, Cloak of Resistance, and any +1 Mithral Armor. These will give you, generally, the most bang-for-your buck. You might also want to pick up a Handy-Haver Sack or a Bag of Holding to carry all your loot in. Other magical items are cool by me, but, again, don't exceed your 3000 gold limit per item.
In my setting, there are a lot of sentient animal races. If you would like to play an animal-person, please let me know.

If you need help building a character, please let me know. We can have a character-building session over Skype.

Yeah, level 5 is a strong place to start in Pathfinder.
It allows very many builds and archetypes to be useful,
It lets everyone have a very defined role in the party,
Players can do a lot in and out of combat at that point,
There's still lots of progression to look forward to,
I can throw really awesome challenges your way that feel cooler to encounter!

I actually have more experience with pathfinder than DnD.

@eye: Pathfinder has "more" out of combat stuff so charismatic roles have more of a place in Pathfinder. Again it depends on the DnD campaign it's being compared to.

I may /in to this as well.

I'd be glad to have both Espeonage and Panzerjager and that'll round the team out to 5 players.
I'm in Eastern time, here. I've got a VERY flexible schedule, though. Like, I could even play during the AM in my time.

If you're playing, I'd like you to include what times and days work best for you. I'd love to shoot for playing this once a week, but if that's not a reality then once every other week with longer play-sessions may be an option.
Once again, if anyone needs help making a character or just powwowing about the game/rules/whatever, contact me here or on skype.

Thursday - Monday I work early mornings. I get off at 2 pst, I got to gym a lot of those days so I don't get home til about 4. I go to bed at 10ish on those nights so I can play anytime between 4ish and maybe 8 or 9ish depending on length of session. If I take a Monday after noon nap, I can play after 11pm pst but I'm not sure vars on is down for starting at 2am.

Tuesdays and Wednesdays are fair game. I typically got to the gym for a couple hours around 1 o clock those days but that's not really and obstacle.

If we need a start time in between 230 and 4 on my workdays I could skip the gym but I'd only want it to be a once a week thing if that was the case.

Edit: all times are PM unless noted otherwise.

If I can get Varsoon's(or someone else who knows what they are doing's) skype for character building/powwowing that would be awesome, I have no experience with pathfinder and limited experience with 3.5.

My skype is Kitsupa,
although it may now be Varsoon.
Basically, when I made my skype, my username was Kitsupa
but I changed it to Varsoon.
So uh, find that?

I'm currently free on a schedule basis but I'm going to say that I won't be free on Saturdays and Thursdays on my Australian time.

I might also not be available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays later on but they're fine for now.

As an update, this seems to be what people are leaning towards for their characters:
Hanasawa: Gunslinger
Garmr: Alchemist
Eyestott: Sorcerer
Espeonage: ???
Panzerjager: Barbarian

Looks like a fun party so far!

I am probably going to be a Cavalier.

Currently between Kobold and Halfling.

The absolute best time for me is Sunday Evenings, Monday Late and Tuesday Late AusEST.
