This is it, guys! \u00a0This is the beginning of our campaign with our new characters and my first game as a DM. \u00a0Hopefully, this won’t be the last. \u00a0The stage is set for this Saturday afternoon (February 5th) and it probably won’t end until later in the evening. \u00a0This post will serve as a last minute FAQ for anybody who wants to participate. \u00a0I actually meant to post this up on Tuesday but I got really busy. \u00a0Oh well.<\/p>\n

What the hell is Pathfinder?<\/strong>
\nPathfinder is a pen and paper RPG that split off from Dungeons and Dragon after the 4th edition came out. \u00a0It’s essentially Dungeons and Dragons 3.75 or what 3.5 should have been.<\/p>\n

Wait, isn’t DnD like really nerdy? \u00a0Why should I care?
\n<\/strong>Well, I can’t really change your mind if you think the game is too “nerdy” for you. \u00a0If you don’t want to play then that’s cool. \u00a0I will ask that you refrain from passing any judgement until you’ve actually played a game or two yourself. \u00a0Personally, I’ve always wanted to play a pen and paper RPG like this for a while. \u00a0Until recently, there wasn’t really enough interest to justify learning the rules and going through the long process of making a character. \u00a0But now, thanks to Arkham Horror and Call of Cthuhlu, we can finally play a proper pen and paper RPG. \u00a0Exciting, isn’t it? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay, you’ve convinced me! I’ll meet up at your hou…<\/strong>
\nWhoa whoa whoa! \u00a0You’re going way too fast. \u00a0First, before you can play, you need to make some preparations of your own. \u00a0These preparations are for the benefit for the whole group. \u00a0There’s nothing more tedious than stopping a game in the middle of combat because somebody didn’t understand how attacks of opportunity work. \u00a0That said, you don’t have to read EVERYTHING since it is a lot to go through in one day. \u00a0Everything you need to know are available at this website: http:\/\/www.d20pfsrd.com\/<\/a><\/p>\n

That’s a lot of shit. \u00a0Where do I start first?<\/strong>
\nYou don’t have to go through everything but you need to at least read the combat rules. \u00a0I can’t stress this enough. \u00a0You must read the entire combat section<\/a>. \u00a0Some of it might sound confusing and that’s okay. \u00a0We can clarify everything once the game starts but you must at least know the basic concepts. \u00a0Then after that, if you have time, read the additional rules. \u00a0If you’re going to be a caster, read the magic section as well. \u00a0When you think you got the basics down, then it’s time to make your class. \u00a0Read this page<\/a> and follow it step by step. \u00a0Contact me if you need help. \u00a0You can even bring over a partially created character and we can finish him\/her off real quick. \u00a0Just make sure you know what you want before you come. \u00a0 If you want, you can even create a back story for your character.<\/p>\n

Hey, none of these questions applies to me! \u00a0I already know what I’m doing! \u00a0Tell me what do I need to know for this game?<\/strong>
\nSince this is my first game DMing, we will be running a module. \u00a0Let me warn you, though, that this module isn’t very sandbox friendly. \u00a0So, please bare with me. \u00a0For this particular game, I will allow one trait if you provide a back story that explains why you have the trait. \u00a0The first game will take place in a small town called Kassen. \u00a0It’s in Nirmathas<\/a>. \u00a0A long time ago, a raider (Asar) kept attacking the town for two months until the town’s founder (Ekat Kassen) stepped in and killed the raider. \u00a0Unfortunately, Kassen was mortally wounded and died two days later. \u00a0To honor his death, the townfolks built a crypt for Kassen and with an eternal flame hanging over his\u00a0sarcophagus. \u00a0It has become a tradition to journey to the crypt every year, now. \u00a0Adventurers must light a lantern using the everflame and bring it back to town, where a huge festival awaits.<\/p>\n

Is that it?<\/strong>
\nThere’s a lot of information that I’m sure that I’m missing. \u00a0In any case, if you have any questions, feel free to IM me and I’ll help you out if I can. \u00a0Again, this game is taking place this Saturday. \u00a0Please show up on time. \u00a0Thanks. <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
