Looking for a Pathfinder game

 Looking for a mid to high level Pathfinder game. Would like to use Mythic options and possibly gestalt. Wouldn't mind playing in something like the FR setting from D&D mostly because then it is less to learn.

If this isn't a solo game I'd like to toss my hat into the ring too.

Preferably 1st edition since that was the one I got. I don't mind a group setting. Not a huge fan of solo play. To much on the GM imo.

Looking for a Pathfinder game

I'm kind of interested in this; just don't know if I have the time.

I'm also not that familiar with the Mythic Rules. That being said, before Pathfinder came along (and before 'mythic' rules), I probably ran a few semi-mythic adventures/campaigns in an ftf game.

1.) Two characters with bad-ass weapons and armor went to a troll kingdom to see how many trolls they could kill. I think they may have thought they could kill them all, but when their charged weapons and armor began running out of charges and they were getting low on hit points, they bugged out. Can't remember how many trolls they killed but it was several hundred.

2.) The above character with the super-armor had to leave a session early, so he suggested that the rest of the party just stuff him in the bag of holding (back when it still had the stasis function). Unfortunately, none of them realized his armor had it's own extra-dimensional space, so... the bag ruptured, scattered the contents (including the PC) in the interstices of nilspace (anyone remember those?).

Fortunately, the others knew that one of the prominent wizards in the city was also a Timelord (even if they didn't really know what that was). If anyone knew what the interstices were and how to get there, it was him. So they went and rescued the PC.

3.) The evil Minister of Science in the neighboring country attempted to annihilate the Elvin Kingdom with an asteroid strike. The PCs found out about it, and had to fly into space to stop the asteroid. They polymorphed a magic shield into a long ship and a teleporting sword into a sail (or was it the other way around?) and went and destroyed that.

There might have been others, like traveling through the Hours of the Night in the Egyptian afterlife...


Also, I'm currently running a Pathfinder game on Middle Earth where the PCs started out as 10th level gestalts with a feat at every level. The premise was seeing what Radagast had been doing between The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings. The first adventure was to find the missing Ents.


Anyway, does any of that sound mythic? Otherwise, I'm struggling to come up with an idea for this game.

What kind of game/adventures are the rest of you interested in?

Looking for a Pathfinder game

I'm up for most anything,

I have an idea for a Barbarian/Fighter gestalt, could work for mid or high level.

Mythic is a separate set of rules that run parrallel to the normal leveling system. They sort of make you like the heroes of legend but you don't have to be past 20the level for them. There are 10 mythic tiers.

Some other rules I'd like to see are the Automatic Bonuses and Background Skills used.

Mythic just makes what you do more relevant to the setting. Basically every hero in tolkien ever

I like this very much.

EDIT

Also, if you want Tolkienish flavor, I have an idea for a magus/arcanist... Hell, you can do Gandalf pretty well as a magus with Wand Wielder - sword in one hand, staff in the other.

Personally prefer FR over Tolkien but it's not a deal breaker. Main reason is it gives us a bigger area to mess with without having to run into crazy plwered NPCs that we shouldn't be able to take in a straight up fight.

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder game

Okay, I think I've come up with an idea for a Mythic game. It'll probably take me a day or two to work out all the details, including where in the FR I'll set it.

At the moment, my intent is to make it a 10th level gestalt game using Automatic Bonuses and Background Skills.

Characters won't be Mythic to begin with but will have to 'ascend' by completing the first adventure.

It's also not going to be strictly combat. I find combat a bit hard and lengthy on RPoL, so make sure your character isn't just a one-trick pony. Make sure he has something to do outside of combat.

Re: Looking for a Pathfinder game

Okay, game is ready to go. Took less time to throw together than I thought it would. Either that, or I've forgotten to do a bunch of things.

link to another game

I'll advertise for more players in a day or two.
