So, if any of you are not familiar with the rules for children adventurers from the SRD I will link them now:
http://www.d20pfsrd.com/basics...ons/young-characters
The basic premise of the game is this:
Our characters are a group of young children from a pseudo-communist egalitarian Meritocracy: this culture is fully aware of the rules of the world and things like weath-by-level and the like: although
everyone at least THINKS that they are a PC, just under thousands of different GMs* with different campaign guidelines in a shared universe: and those who manage to achieve high levels are given the postilions of leadership, because if nothing else they have more HP and higher saves making it harder to assassinate them.
*(Who knows, they may be right, just not all the GM's and players are from our universe...)
Anyway,
our PCs are one 'party' from a communal creche in a small-yet-prosperous city on the borders of our nation. Things are going well, nothing much to report until one day the city is attacked totally out of the blue by a rampaging hoard of undead. Our teachers take us into an underground structure and open up a sealed portal, which they explain leads into an area known as the Labyrinth, a secret subterranean realm which runs under most of the world. It may be our only means of escape from the undead even now slaughtering the city's inhabitants. We are given real weapons and armor for the first time and sent on our way with rough instructions on how to find our way through the labyrinth from our city to the capitol and wished good luck, then the door, which apparently is magically sealed against undead and most everything else is locked behind us.
I am looking to start the game at 1st level but with epic point buy for stats, and would have max starting gold, but of course with Children as the protagonists using the rules linked above. The PCs would all start at the equivalent for their race of 13 years old, and all ECL 0 PC races should be on the table. (I plan to play a human but that is beside the point.)
Inspirations for this game include The Goonies, Labyrinth, The First Two Harry Potter Books, and The Chronicles of Narnia, though I expect that it will go
somewhat darker than any of them if portrayed well.
A general rating would be preferred for this story but Mature would be acceptable: Adult however is inappropriate.
