IC: - Simple Pathfinder
I recently got the Core Pathfinder book (I know, i'm well behind the times) and I wanted to try running a game using it. I know there are a billion other options out there for the game but I want to keep it simple to start out with.
I had an idea of a game revolving around a group of 'problem solvers' for a theocracy, demon-hunting and solving the supernatural problems that seem to beset those in their country (working name: Nevdozka). They have to manage the politics of the various Boyars while protecting the faith that seeks to bring peace to everyone. I thought i'd keep it as magical a game as Pathfinder seems to be, but only have human characters.
The game I envision would have a plot but be quite 'sandbox' - I'd use a hex map to create a geography and the characters could explore, proactively protecting the Faith but there would be Super-villains to vanquish too, a little like an adventure path of my own creation tossed into a sandbox game.
I recently did a Bartle test (which helps understand what you enjoy in an RPG) and came out strongly as an explorer and socialite - although I'd have thought I was a killer more - and so I'm interested in having help populating the game from the players. If they want a boyar whose mages have crafted him a automaton centaur body and whose warriors make magical prosthetics to help them defeat their enemies, I'm all for it!
So, I wondered if there were any sort of interest for this sort of game. I feel like, already, I might have lost the popular vote by keeping it 'only human'. I really hope not, though.
Thanks
