Post Re: Interest check for a “Low Fantasy” Pathfinder Game.
Here is what I'm thinking regarding Empire/Kingdom:

King Oswald Forewell has recently ascended to the throne after a brief but bloody struggle among the noble houses. Oswald was the best man among the contenders for the throne, and with the eventual backing of the majority of the houses, he has taken leadership of the Kingdom of Gallidorne. Gallidorne's throne was left barren after Oswald's uncle died under suspicious circumstances, unwed and childless. Oswald's chief rivals for the throne were his cousins Prince Fastiere Hessette and Prince Halcome Wellard, and his Aunt Grand Duchess Esmerine Glodebay.

Of the seven major noble houses, the Grand Duchess held sway over three, and probably would have gained the favor of the others if a longtime friend of Oswald's hadn't found proof of her involvement in King Eldone's death. Her regency was ended and her house disgraced, leaving the Kingdom on the brink of civil war. Oswald spoke promises of prosperity and expansion, winning the majority of the houses, including the Hessettes (who a deal brokered for marriage of Oswald to Fastiere's youngest sister Emilese), over to his claim.

Soon, only house Wellard and House Asturelle stood in opposition to Oswald's ascension. A brief, bloody skirmish on the Fields of Reyse ensued, with the remnants of Grand Duchess Glodebay's followers joining Wellard and Asturelle against the rest of the Kingdom. After the third day of battle, a brave young knight challenged the general under Asturelle to single combat, defeating him with honor and ending the House of Austurelle's involvement in the battle. The opposing forces were outmatched and captured. Those who refused to denounce the House of Glodebay were executed, and the Grand Duchess was sent into exile. The House of Wellard was relegated to minor status, and the House of Reltaire, whose followers showed great courage and loyalty in the skirmish, was elevated to major status.

It's probably best to stick with the core rulebook for magic items. Items from the magic item compendium may be allowed on a case-by-case basis, but the costs in that boook are pretty messed up for some things.

Feats published by Paizo are ok (I have everything Paizo has put out for Pathfinder.) Other feats will be approved on a case-by case basis.

What kind of other materials were you considering?

(Errata'd) Items from the Adventurer's Armory are ok too.

I was considering using the Complete books (Scoundrel,Warrior,Adventurer), Arms And Equipment Guide and the Players Handbook 2 for feats and equipment. Also I was wondering how would you like us to generate our Ability Scores?

"High Fantasy" point buy (20 pts, page 6)

I'll take a look through those 3 Complete books tonight to see if there are any feats that need banning. I don't own the arms and equipment guide, so I'd have to see the stats for any equipment you want from there.

I was curious if you were still looking for people to join, or if it is full? A couple things you should know before considering me if you are still looking for people.
1. I have never used Open RPG but i understand the concept behind using it, and Youtube probably has videos for me.
2. I have played 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 3.5, 4th edition D&D and know how to create characters for all. If this is a 3.5 Adventure (I assume it is) I have been playing 3rd and 3.5 for close to eight years now so I have experience.
3. I am willing to play any roles you ask, Tank, Utility, DPS, Support (And I am willing to do hybrids too)

i want to play a ranger. are there other kingdoms? i don't get the magic items; i thought we weren't getting any. if we use 3d6, you can find adjusted crit ranges on d20srd.com. i don't know if you'll allow it, but i would like a british feel with a faerie world perhaps we'd go to. but i definitely want a british feel. kind of a storybook, but serious.
