A more powerful devil to add to the ranks of the Hells. 

‘A silvered athame reflects fire-light across the study. At the grand desk- it’s as impressive as everything else in the manor- is a devil. She sits with a precise posture over a massive tome, carefully watching the shadows on the walls. 

The Oracle had seen this moment weeks ago, in her scrying mirror. An assassin looms right outside, in her hallway. There- there he was. The fool- he must’ve been a fool- jumps, and his athame rips through the devil’s arm. It hangs limp for a moment and a black, ashy, ichor spills across the floor. The wound steams and seals closed within several seconds.

“You do know why I am called ‘Everlasting’, do you not?” She almost smiles.’

I would appreciate maybe a short prep sesh anytime before the first actual thing, and also I think the players still need to come up with how all the characters met

I'm pretty sure my sheet is ready, but as Kr1g said we still need to link everyone up!

That is an incredibly good point! I haven’t got anything planned this week until Friday so I can be at a prep session anytime, since I could do with knowing how you all know each other too and of course, so I can be on hand to help out anyone who needs it!

Would Wednesday night work for anyone? Or Thursday, even!

I'm making progress on the sheet

Hooray! :D I won’t offer tonight because I’m out of it thanks to pain and meds, but if you need any help tomorrow or any other time before Friday then just send me an ask or something and I’ll hop onto Roll20 and help you out!

[yogdnd]

Just checking in with my Iron Gods group! How goes the sheet building? Everyone ready to play on Friday? :D

[yogdnd]

Hi friends! Tegan here! I’m back from a very long break, (again,) and wanted to see if there was any interest for a TEXT ONLY game of Storm King’s Thunder (A D&D adventure path) again.

I know there wasn’t much interest before, but I thought I’d just see if that had changed since I was gone :)

[yogdnd]

A test for the stream overlays (including the snazzy discord voice thingy!) and audio as well as a general performance test ahead of friday! Spoiler free so the players in the session can give me feedback on this! C:

I may make the Discord overlay larger so it’s more visible?

Also featuring some bleeps n bloops from Syrinscape’s sci-fi soundbanks!

[vindictivedreamer]

AAAA WE’RE STREAMING THIS GUYS!! Feel free to come and join us! @excitablesatan @the-4-horsemen-of-the-apocalypse

[yogdnd]

The stream will be here by the way!!

Starting NEXT Friday, not this week, because I’m sick and coughing and also we’re only doing character building. The real fun starts on the 10th! :D

The final slot for Iron Gods has been filled! :)

[roll-a-d20]

made a splash page for iron gods, which still has a slot open for another player if anyone’s interested! newbies most certainly welcome~ (i think all the players are actually relatively new to pathfinder so you’d be learning together c:)

[yogdnd]

Still got a slot open for another player in my Iron Gods Pathfinder campaign!

[yogdnd]

Links to the Iron Gods Discord have been sent to the three people who are #confirmed as playing! Still got one slot open guys, anyone is welcome to fill it! Newbies to TTRPGs are most certainly welcome too :)

[yogdnd]

There’s still a free slot for another PC for the Iron Gods campaign I’m running!

Sessions will be on Fridays at 7pm, starting next week with a character discussion/rolling/background writing/getting to know you session :)

Suggestions for Iron Gods!

Suggested Races:

Android (ANY race can have a cybernetic enhancement instead of being an Android if you’d like - kinda restricted to 1 person due to rarity of cybernetics and cost, but an option! Ask me about info on the Cybernetics!)

Human

Dwarf

Orcs/Half Orcs

Elves/Half Elves

Halflings

Gnomes

Ratfolk

Changeling

Tiefling

Aasimar

Any aforementioned race with mutations or cybernetic enhancements! Cybernetics are very rare, like Androids, but I will allow them for flavour though they may not have all the written capabilities they have in the tech guide until later levels!

I’ll allow most races honestly but the above are the most common in this campaign. Some aren’t allowed, like the mega OP ones, (over 15 RP mostly won’t be allowed,) but I’ll allow a majority of available races :) 

Suggested Classes/Archetypes:

Numerian liberator (barbarian)

galvanic saboteur (rogue) 

archivist (bard)

blight druid (druid)

breaker (barbarian)

savage barbarian (barbarian)

arcane bomber (wizard)

archaeologist (bard)

armored hulk (barbarian)

pistolero (gunslinger)

spellslinger (wizard)

clone master (alchemist)

metal elementalist (wizard)

stargazer (oracle)

foehammer (fighter, restricted to dwarves but a good choice!)

Again, I’ll allow most classes, the above are just from the Iron Gods player guide! I have plenty more suggestions should you want more suggestions!

Skill Suggestions:

Appraise

Climb

Craft (Mechanical) (Should be used with Technologist feat!)

Diplomacy

Disable Device (Should be used with Technologist feat!)

Heal (Used not only for healing checks but to make & figure out what pharmaceuticals are!)

Knowledge (Dungeoneering)

Knowledge (Engineering) (Very good skill to put ranks into! Highly recommended everyone has a rank in it tbh)

Knowledge (Geography)

Knowledge (Local)

Linguistics

Perception

Profession (Engineer)

Survival

As well as the usual skills that are of use for your chosen class and race!

Trait Suggestions:

As a preface, I’m allowing people to choose two traits at the start of the game. It’s entirely your choice which you take, but here’s some suggestions!

Basically any of the normal good choices such as Hard to Kill are fine!

Flair For Destruction (Tiefling Trait)

Literally any of the traits found in the Iron Gods player guide - starts on page 7!

Feat Suggestions:

TECHNOLOGIST. (Seriously. Though your character should have a good reason for being so well versed in tech at the start of the adventure (ask if you want tips on how they could be!), this is a very good trait to start with OR to reroll into later in the game!)

Choose your feats as you see fit, really. Technologist is just a suggestion but, like I said, you need a pretty good reason for having it off the bat, though it’s more than possible

  vindictivedreamer replied to your post “More...

Because I’m curious and because I know nothing about pathfinder, what are the race options like? And what’s the best choice for a healer class-wize if they’re a thing?

There’s a... HUGE number of races available in PF and even more if you look for PF homebrew or third party options. Some of which aren’t really applicable for this campaign, but I’d allow a lot of them if you have a good reason for them being in the starting town! The Iron Gods player guide has the Android race in there, which is very relevant to the campaign setting, but honestly a lot of the races are absolutely fine. I suggest reading that player guide anyway actually, it offers a lot of help on the setting which is perhaps different to a ‘normal’ high fantasy setting in a lot of ways :) A lot of races get a bonus to their class depending on their race also, so factor that in when choosing your class/race!

As for classes for a healer, as it says in the Player guide for Iron Gods, a Stargazer Oracle isn’t a bad choice so long as you choose to channel positive energy, (i.e. be a healer not a damage dealer,) and choose a Mystery like Heavens or Dark Tapestry or even Solar perhaps! Of course, there’s the classic Cleric option, always a good choice for a healer build, (suggested deities for this campaign include Brigh, Abadar, Desna, Erastil, Gorum, Iomedae and Nethys!) or even the third party choice of White Necromancer would work well as a healer and be interesting to play too if you didn’t want a ‘traditional’ healing class.

It’s also possible to play the Witch class as a healer if you take the Healing Patron and play a Hedge Witch archetype. There’s also the third party Hedge Witch class which would work if you select the Healer Tradition! Also the third party class Priest, with the Healing Dogma option. :)

All these choices can be found on the d20pfsrd if you want to look at them in more depth by the way!~

kr1g replied to your post “dreamilyfreshmilkshake replied to your post “Hi folks! Having given up…”

Friday’s are the best option for me!

Everyone seems to be good with Fridays, so Fridays it is! I’ll set up a new Discord server soon and invite everyone who wants to take part so far with a link I’ll message to y’all.

There is still one slot open, if anyone else wants to join in before next Friday! I encourage chatting in the Discord about characters and how they all know each other and the like too beforehand as well :)

vindictivedreamer replied to your post “More info on the Iron Gods campaign! up to 4 players, no more though…”

I’m afraid I’ve never played pathfinder before, but I am more than ready to learn! I would also gladly play a healer if no one else is willing.

That’s absolutely fine! It’s a little more complex than D&D I think, but I also find it fairer and more interesting, haha. There is a learning curve but I’m more than willing to help people out and, as always, take my time with teaching people :) It might be worth reading through some of the basic rules though! It’s not too different from D&D, but has different saving throws and some other variant rules as well. There’s also a lot more things like detrimental conditions and the like. Again, d20pfsrd? Best resource, honestly. Read some of the Game Mastering section on there for stuff about, like, how combat works maybe? Just to familiarise yourself with it :)

Also, that’s awesome! There’s some really cool healer options in PF actually~ Again, as always, I can offer help with good character options for the campaign!
