Hello everyone! Arete was looking at potentially running a PF1E PbP campaign for people, and wanted to get a sense of who would be interested.
Core Logistical Information
System: Pathfinder 1e. Arete and me are both proficient with the system and can assist with character creation. No previous experience with pathfinder 1e is required, but you may benefit from a cursory understanding of d20 systems.
Characters: Starting at Level 1.
Setting: Golarion, the official PF setting. Undecided on the particular location and the particular time period.
Time: Read the entire OP to learn more about PbP.
Size: Arete said they’d be willing to work with 6 at max.
Combat: Will exist.
The Campaign Itself
As pitched, the story would have started with:
basic “someone has been killed in your farming village! solve the murder!” mystery
Arete has mentioned a willingness to be flexible regarding the premise of the game.
From my experience, Arete is skilled at making logically coherent worlds where the actions of the characters conform to reasonable rationality given their goals and wants.
What is a Play by Post
As the name implies, Play-by-Post (or PbP) is the act of playing a tabletop RPG through written posts alone. Instead of gathering around a table and talking through each player’s actions, PbP works via a back-and-forth text exchange on a Discord server or dedicated forum (it’ll be on the forum here). The gameplay rules stay the same, and there’s still a Game Master to guide things along. With PbP, the players have more time to decide what they want to do and claim their turn to speak.
for further information, everything presented here is accurate as far as I can tell:
