You wake up in a chamber--more like a cell, really. Your memory is hazy. You might have been thrown into prison, wrongfully or otherwise. You might be suffering the consequences of your choices in the afterlife. You might be experiencing a nightmare, or an altered state of mind. You might have been trapped here by a cruel magician, or a crueler god.

Welcome to Nucleus, your only oasis of certainty in this plane of Primal Chaos.

Your ultimate goal is to escape this plane by finding the dungeon that exits to your home plane of existence. You may, in the process, find out who the benefactor of the Nucleus is, why these random dungeons exist in the Mist, and even how you came to be in this plane in the first place. Or you can just concentrate on escaping with as much loot and experience as possible. Your choice.

Dungeons, monsters, treasure etc. are for the most part generated randomly using donjon RPG tools. There will be exceptions, notably for unique enemies and treasure.

Dying in this plane is not permanent. You may choose to revive at the Nucleus, but your character will permanently lose a point of Constitution, and will also lose all treasure and equipment. There may be rare treasure rewards that prevent one or all of these setbacks, or you can dungeon delve with companions who can revive or resurrect you.

Alternately, you can choose to reincarnate (create a new character) upon death. You retain access to your previous character's vault, but restart at level 1. If you have unused Hero Points from your former life, then you may keep those Hero Points (to be used as per Pathfinder rules) or add them to your new character's ability point pool.

More details about character creation and rules for play can be found on the game forum. Happy adventuring!

Hi new on here and really like the sound of your story, not sure what to do now though?

In reply to scotmundo (msg # 2):

What you need to do is is follow the link above the advertisement, the one that says [Pathfinder] Dungeons of Primal Chaos. Read the posts, particularly the one that says RTJ (Request to Join), which explains what the GM wants, then click on the 'Request Access' link to ask to be added to the game.

Dungeons of Primal Chaos, a Pathfinder dungeon crawler game, has been rebooted.

If you played in the (very abbreviated! sorry!) first version of the game, you will have to submit a new RTJ and character sheet. Feel free to make a new character as well, if you wish.

Please make sure you read the (revised) rules and confirm you have done so in your RTJ.

Some changes

• I am now requiring a writing sample. Despite the fact you may die often, I still prefer a modicum of description and creativity.
• I will be incorporating Pyromancers dungeon painter and scene viewer for keeping track of the known dungeon map and PC/monster positions.
• No henchmen will be offered this time around.
• Party formation will be enforced. Minimum 2 PCs, maximum 4.

Other than that, the game is as described before. :) Send your Request to Join to partake in the dungeon crawling madness!

I'm looking for 1-2 players to fill out a third group of dungeon-crawling adventurers. Looking for people who are comfortable with Pathfinder rules and are decent writers. No powergamers please!
