Recovery of Amicas

Jessi — Sat, 16 May 2020 15:00:28 GMT

A continent decimated by war and disease. A place that thrived 4 generations ago, but which now survives by a thread and the grace of all the gods.

Your grandparents enjoyed an almost utopian existence filled with music and wine, friendly competitions and contentment. The Humans dominated the land and the Dwarves the earth, although many different races filled this continent. Education and magical research were valued more than physical work because the Amicas city-states understood that “work accomplishes one thing today… research accomplishes many new things tomorrow.”

Large scale governments did not exist back then as the city states had abundance. When the population has all of its needs met, there is little need for powerful government. Those that served in the government did not join for personal power but out of a desire to serve. And the kings of the time were humble men who lifted others up, believing it lift themselves up as well.

Today that is gone. The people, governments, the social structures, and most importantly the knowledge and the research. The citizens of the continent now survive day by day. Today’s law is ‘survive today, as tomorrow is not here yet'. No one really knows why this happened. “Demons” just appeared. Not all at once, but more like they flowed from a small leaking endless bucket. A little bit here. A little bit there. Then more and more. A dirty scourge consumed with hatred and inner chaos. There was no evidence of a justification or rationale in their actions. No need for anything except the immediate visceral gratification of hurting others and destroying. That was their hunger.

Security and Investigations

Michelle — Sat, 15 Jul 2017 13:29:54 GMT

None would deny that opportunities for great adventure lie within the dank dungeons, winding caves, and sprawling wildlands of the world. However, the place where characters come back to sell their treasures, rest, and live their lives can hold excitement as well. Filled with people, businesses, intrigue, and secret locations, cities can provide adventure hooks on literally every street corner.

SECURITY AND INVESTIGATIONS

System: Pathfinder GM: Robyn, Michelle

HOUSE RULES:

Fumble: Whenever an attacker rolls a natural 1 on the die, the attack misses and there is the threat of a fumble. The attacker must immediately make a confirmation roll, using their full base attack bonus (and accompanying modifiers). If the attack roll would miss the target, the attacker fumbles. The attacker will then roll a d10 which will determine the result of the fumble. An attacker can only fumble once per combat.

Death: When a character dies they roll for a chance of Divine Intervention from their Deity. A d100 will be rolled and if the result is 95 (90 for clerics) or above the character comes back to life with 0 HP. If they fail a cleric or paladin in the party can also attempt the same roll. There may be additional effects from coming back from the dead for the character as determined by the GM, especially if saved by a diety other than the characters.

Ammunition: You do not need to keep up with the number of arrows/bolts/bullets/darts used. It's assumed you’ll recover what you can after each battle and reuse them.

Rations: You don’t need to purchase or keep track of rations. It's assumed you have them and will resupply yourselves as you go along.
