Next session
Time: Wednesday, december 28th, 18:00 GMT+1 - 24:00 GMT+1
Maptool login/password: TBD
IRC Channel for OOC banter: irc.gamesurge.net:6667 #larpfags
Notes: Will the group walk away scott-free, or will figurative and literal butthurt ensue in prison!?
Introduction
A fresh new thread to collect (hopefully) all the information in our new & shiny RPGCodex pen&paper campaign. This is a continuation of the interest gauge thread located here. All non-campaign related queries (such as RPTools questions or bitching about the choice of system) should go there as well.
We're running Pathfinder which is a balance patch of 3.5E dungeons and dragons, published by Paizo. We're currently running the published adventure path called Carrion Crown from Paizos website. A low-spoiler Player Guide can be found either at their site or in the handy hyperlink to my dropbox.
We're using IRC and Maptools to handle communication, die rolls, handouts, combat and so forth. Spectators are welcome, although I ask them not to be douchebags and disturb people while we play. (That's what the OOC IRC channel is for!) I'm not 100% sure how the lags will be if 20+ people are all downloading handouts off of my computer, so we may end up kicking spectators if things get ultra-laggy.
The two open player slots will be filled as soon as people have had a chance to respond in the interest gauge thread.

Character Generation
- Character generation follows the standard rules in the players guide. Those who haven't got the book handy can refer to the summary at the system reference website.
- Ability scores will be generated using point buy. Players will have 15 points to distribute.
- Races allowed are standard player races from the core book. (No travelling monster freakshow, please).
- Classes, feats, spells etc can be taken from the core book, advanced player's guide, ultimate magic and/or ultimate combat.
- We are not using hero points.
- We are using traits. (See Advanced Player's Guide or the SRD). Characters get to pick one general trait from the advanced player's guide and one campaign trait from the Carrion Crown player's guide.
Houserules
- Shared, equalized XP. The GM will inform everyone if they have reached enough to level up. (This will generally be between sessions so it doesn't soak up playtime).
- HP will be rolled for, BRO style. (No pansy max hp or rerolls here)
- player vs player conflict and arguing is allowed. But we're trying to limit it to no backstabbing. (Ultimately, everyone wants to work together)
- All non-evil alignments allowed
- we'll try to keep things LARPy. Difficulties for everything will be slightly higher, but the GM will assign bonusses liberally on the basis of the players LARP, creative ideas and the like
