Be excellent, kind, and caring to everyone! We've got a Molthuni knights game up here with lots of applicants: app.roll20.net/forum/post/4399356/character-applications DON'T talk about which ones you love or hate. Instead, offer advice to specific applicants on how to improve their backstories. Whether it's Arehera's fluffy tail kitsune tactician in high heels or 2hu's immortal shapeshifting shota trap wizard, give players feedback!
Is there room for a Bard (Negotiator) from Druma interested in viniculture, cattle and the production of fine textiles?
Adrian Thompson
Sounds comfy, user, but is he cute?
Colton Diaz
>but is he cute?
I've got some ideas, but I'm all ears if you've got some cute pictures that could work for a comfy growth-oriented landowner!

Paul Mounet was pretty hot.
Christopher Gonzalez
Neo?
Alexander Hughes
I can't unsee it anymore
Noah Lewis
Paul Mounet *is* pretty hot, but I was thinking of using character art!
William Wood
Let's give advice to the big name folks.
Alister, Diana, Di, and Kurat.
What about their applications do you hate? What do you like? What criteria do you generally rate it on?
Carson Evans
Oh my god is this going to happen every time someone posts a game that's never going to get run?
Jordan Gomez
Once the big name ones choose players or get canceled people will become jaded enough not to care.
Though honestly we ARE talking about the setting. It's better when it isn't a lewd game so we don't talk about fetishes as much.
Ryder Hughes
I want feedback, give it to me, how do I become a better imouto?
Noah Diaz
>It's better when it isn't a lewd game so we don't talk about fetishes as much. I don't believe you.
Angel Long
Start off by calling him Aniki.
Aaron Ward
Shouldn't NOT the big names be the ones that need advice?
Cooper Reed
The fetishes were kind of fun though.
Andrew Kelly
the words are"assface" or"monkeybutt" or "creep"
Noah Clark
No, you stop that right now.
Colton Green
The big names don't actually get any advice, just memes shouted at them. No one gets much if any advice.
Matthew Ramirez
This.
Let's talk about how Solid Snake needs to DEDICATE to their gimmick. They need to go all out with it, have an attendant named Otakarn who loves tian drawings, makes balloons to steal enemy soldiers, and demands we buy him a base in the middle of the ocean for no reason.
Jacob Richardson
No they weren't. Get your shit and go.
Carter Wood
What makes them the big name folks?
Evan Davis
Formally he's "Brother", informally he's "Al". I still haven't decided on how to insult him when he gets out of line. I'm considering "dire pig" if he gets gross.
Michael Reyes
Wining the vote.
Diana was 1st Alister was 2nd Di and Kurat were tied for 3rd
We can do what was done before. Roll on a list, excluding 2hu and Staypuft.

So the vote decides who gets into the game?
Doesn't that mean 2hu just barely gets into the game?
Zachary Davis
Why would you assume the DM would listen to /pfg/s vote? Not that there's anything wrong with 2hu anyways.

Looks like it's time to talk about fluffy tails!
Andrew Jenkins
Name: Di, the Fox of Fort Ramgate Race: Kitsune (Yokai) Class: Unchained Rogue (Hidden Blade/Kitsune Trickster) Age: 68 Alignment: Lawful Neutral
One thing I am confused about is the following: >is 68 >doesn't seem to have age penalties
Brayden Perry
'Tis merely Lord Johnathan Wick
Coincidentally, this is how I Slayer
John Myers
You excluded 2hu and Staypuft, you big bully.
Jayden Flores
How can you improve upon a min maxed shota trap wizard? How the fuck do you build upon perfection?
Cooper Phillips
Custom made character art.
Mason Howard
This, 2hu's character is perfect, no need to include him.
Meanwhile Staypuft seems like a legitimate troll and is beyond saving otherwise.
Charles Morgan
You can improve backstory!
Leo Roberts
>mfw you'll never have an artist in your group >mfw they'll never draw the party
Jacob Sanders
That would require me to read the backstory of posters here. I've better things to do with my time like drink myself to death.
Samuel Nelson
Yokai Kitsune don't take aging penalties until they're... 200? 300? Somewhere around there. She's practically a babby.
Jace Bennett
Di should have a cuter personality, as is I'm afraid she won't let Diana brush her fur and that bothers me deeply.
Blake Wood
Drawthread is a start, it's where I got mine.(Still waiting to see if anybody wants to color it)
Kevin Powell
If you don't want to read backstory, then you'll never give good feedback.
Read Di's backstory, read 2hu's too, and then give some feedback. Be excellent to each other!
Nathaniel Adams
>drawthread is a start
now that I think about it, I should probably go see if the drawthread who did mine was actually done with it or not and weep because I now get to realize I'll never actually use it in a game
Anthony Morgan
Alright, so we have games in Cheliax, Varisia-into-TianXia, Molthune, and previously /pfg/ memed about a Land of the Linnorm Kings game ages back.
What are some other locales in the Golarion/MainPF setting you would love to go on adventures in?
Because I have nothing to do right now, and a copy of the ISWG in front of me, so if anyone wants info for potential campagins in different regions, I may be able to look stuff up and give info on potential campaign stuff.
As for me personally, I wouldn't terribly mind if I were to someday be in a Thornkeep game
Parker Ramirez
Well of course, that's why I don't give feedback. I just whine about the posts instead.
Well, at first glance this is the least heavy-handed lesbians-made-kids I've ever read related to pathfinder. It's not even detailed.
The story doesn't seem too nasty - there's far less comfy up there - and is somewhat more reasonable given it's existing nobles trying to get themselves acknowledged.
The character has 24 skill points, which is odd given 10 int and 4+INT with background (background is 2/lv isn't it?). There's one or two other character sheets in the list with abnormal skill numbers. Otherwise it seems mechanically sound; a sphere skald is relatively straightforward and not too weak or too powerful.
Seem normal enough.
Ayden Ortiz
Taldor and Brevoy would be the next ones. Kingmaker doesn't count as Brevoy because it's barely in there.
Brandon Walker
So here is some criticism. Her life seems to have about 50 years of dicking around. Nothing really happens in those 50 years, she's commander of the irregulars, but there are no characters or connections there, just the name,
Daniel Rivera
marry her maybe, but coloring forget it; I draw like doctors handwrite.

will do one. just one. I'm bored but not that bored.
Oliver Bailey
Well, there's one common thread people keep bringing up about the backstory. Most of it is so dark and uncomfy. It sure gets comfy at the end but a lot of people think the rest of it is too heavy.
Maybe some good advice would be to lighten the rest of it up, no need to go that hard on the horrors of war aspect.
Also, maybe he should minmax so fucking much, that might help too.

>Nothing really happens in those 50 years, she's commander of the irregulars, but there are no characters or connections there, just the name,
Adding to this as an observer, but people really don't appreciate just how much can happen in a single year, let alone 10 or in this case 50.
Throwing numbers at the screen may seem like a good way to make your character seem old, but most people don't do a lot to emphasize just how packed those years are.
Aaron Campbell
So I can't really see a reason she was given a village. She "finished with distinction", she needs a bit more than that. Especially as a former Nirmathan.
Evan Myers
>Because I have nothing to do right now, and a copy of the ISWG in front of me, so if anyone wants info for potential campagins in different regions, I may be able to look stuff up and give info on potential campaign stuff.
Give us a dump on Brevoy!
Tell us what makes that kingdom tick and why we should give a heck about it.

If I roll myself I'll spend an hour contemplating ways to improve my character.
Christopher Evans
I'd be a little interested in un-fucking Galt, but the "JE SUIS MONTE!"-friends can be awful.
Lincoln Gray
Let's examine the other old character's backstory. Contrast the two in that regard.
The kids were for having a noble line without having to work a husband in and/or having Liviana tied down due to pregnancy. I figured that Molthune would want everyone with legitimate title that they can get, considering the socio-political situation. Any suggestions for making her claim/reward stronger?
Benjamin Morris
You should've told me, I have a transparent version which is what I've got up on the drawthread.
Jackson Cox
Need help /pfg/ Regarding Sphere's of Power I thought I saw something written that let you cast a spell while concentrating on another. (Something you normally can't do in Pathfinder) It's not "easy focus", that just lets you concentrate as a move action. I searched the PDF but I can't find it, am I missing it or just misremembering?
Jason Lopez
Nope, too late. Gave up. It was literally just mspaint with the bucket tool. Fun distraction, though.
Jace Gomez
>but I hope ya'll get yourself ready for Kurwa and Shashka Twirling
>mfw Brevoy is one bullshit excuse and gestalt away from letting us make Witchers
Thomas Jones
I know, I know, but I was afraid that I would be making it too long if I started detailing things. It was a broad strokes thing. I'm a bit pressed for time, but I'm trying to sit down and work on it.
It's kinda short. Noble boy grows up, becomes a squire then knight, doesn't participate in the war. No big heroics that would justify earning any kind of land and title so his family having a village doesn't make any sense. He doesn't mechanically get any powers from the land, so that part doesn't make sense either. Way, way too young to be level 3 and no waifu potential.
Kevin Collins
sorry, the "not even detailed" was in reference to the "how that was done" beyond "transmutation, done".
It was actually meant as a compliment.
Bentley Perez
Since Kurat's children are around the same age as most of the PCs would it be reasonable to marry them to join the families? His eldest and heir is unmarried.
Hunter Davis
Maybe you should give her an excuse to leave the military? What's stopping Di from falling for a man and deciding to spend a decade or two as a wife, working logistics and as a boot camp instructor while raising the kids!
10-15 years in active service, 20 years as a mom/drill instructor, and then the Molthune government comes to her door and gives her the whole, "you've done us a great service" speech that ends with an offer of knighthood.
Michael Edwards
>would it be reasonable to marry them to join the families?
That's been a suggested strategy since Kitsune Matriarch, user.
If you give your character a lot of children than you could easily custom-tailor some as marriage bait.
Leo Smith
I'm somewhat partial to Osirion myself, but a Hold of Belkzen, Irrisen, or even Realm of the Mammoth Lords campaign could be nice.
Alternatively, you could do a campaign at sea, sailing toward Arcadia for glory, the gods, and gold!
No I mean a PC marry one of their children. Not marrying children off to each other.
Elijah Cruz
>No I mean a PC marry one of their children.
That's... That's what I was saying, user. If your PC has a lot of children at the start of the campaign, than you could use those children as marriage bait for other PCs.
Austin Cox
Do any characters have marriage bait kids currently?
Joshua Taylor
>glory, gods, and gold exploration campaign That sounds great! Can it be set during the height of Taldor?
Justin Barnes
Ah! I knew I saw it somewhere, thanks!
Michael Martin
>Do any characters have marriage bait kids currently?
Have you missed the entire threads of us gushing over Kurat's snowflake daughter?
Jacob Cooper
That depends, did Taldor have a Virginia Company analog?
Ryan Jackson
It's a possibility, but I was trying to get across that she was incredibly dedicated to the Irregulars.
Maybe they should boot her for refusing promotion too many times? She retreats to the middle of nowhere, they come to try and tempt her back into service.
Blake Richardson
Didn't the Molthune GM say he DIDN'T want players designing their families in such a way as to get benefits out of it?
>Family stays at home. You can have them if you want but they should stay some place safe. Dont have any more family then the number of followers you will have. You wont be starting in grand palaces so they will packed if you have a lot of them. You also cannot use them as followers. They will just be fluff pieces, I wont even consider them to have levels so dont try anything funny with them.
Sebastian Davis
Bunny outfit kitsune?
Henry Watson
What, and then a Molthune officer in full regalia rides up to her log cabin in the woods and confronts her while Di's chopping firewood?
>Dammit Di, you were the best, and your country needs you one last time!
Kevin Collins
So let's say I want to start off my campaign with a festival full of things for my Level 2 characters to test their skills at in a competitive sense, what would you all suggest as fun, productive feeling activities that they can participate in that will also show off what they can do to the townsfolk?
I'm only aware as of yet about what a couple of the characters are going to be, so I'd like as many ideas as possible to cover my bases.
Jayden Torres
You can't unfuck galt, it's a land of eternal revolution driven by the faceless pharaoh.
Jayden Sanders
And she refuses, but chases him down when she sees a picture of herself with the Irregulars, reminding her of her duty to her country.
It's cliche as fuck, but probably better than what I've got right now. Doesn't quite feel comfy though, I'm gonna think.
