[Time]: Wednesdays  ~ 7:30 PM - 3 Hours Maximum [Platform]: Foundry/Discord [Requirements]: Mic/Discord/Foundry [Summary]:  Please read before applying This game is gonna be set in a late 90s inspired world, like small town America with dial-up internet, payphones, old TVs, arcades, grocery stores, that kind of vibe. It starts off really normal, like everyday life, but then high magic stuff starts leaking into the world and everything slowly changes. It’s not full fantasy at the start. No castles or dragons walking around yet. Just regular people dealing with weird stuff that shouldn’t exist. Races and Classes are limited. For ancesteries you can pick Human, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, or Halfling or Nephilim but here’s the important part: everyone is still basically human. There aren’t different species walking around. The race you pick is more like how the weird magic in the world affected you. So a “dwarf” is just a tougher, denser person. An “elf” is someone quicker and more perceptive. It’s flavor and mechanics, not actual fantasy races living in town. So yeah, the idea is you all start as normal people with normal jobs, in a normal place, and then things start going very wrong. Session 1 is about surviving that first night and figuring out what kind of person your character really is when stuff hits the fan. After that, we’ll move into the real campaign. The full list of job backgrounds available will be at the end,. ----------------- Character Creation Restrictions: Level: 1 Backgrounds: List Below Ancestries: ONLY Human, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Halfling, Nephilim, Half-Elf, Half-Orc Classes: ONLY Barbarian, Fighter, Gunslinger, Investigator, Kineticist, Monk, Ranger, Rogue, Sorcerer (Arcane or Primal) -------------------- Why the Class and Ancestry Restrictions? Magic in this setting is brand new to the world. It hasn’t existed for thousands of years like in normal Pathfinder settings. The Surge is the first time anything like this has ever happened, so there are no wizard schools, ancient spell traditions, or established churches granting divine powers. People are only just starting to experience strange abilities, and no one fully understands what’s going on yet. Because of that, only classes that rely on physical skill or instinctive magic are available at the start. Anything that would normally require long-standing magical traditions, divine relationships, or secret occult knowledge simply doesn’t exist yet in the world. The ancestry limits work the same way. There aren’t different fantasy species living together. Everyone is still human. The ancestry you choose just represents how the Surge changed your body or mind in subtle ways, giving you different traits or instincts. It’s more about how the magic affected you than what race you are. ------ BACKGROUNDS AVAILABLE: Accountant | Boosts: Intelligence or Wisdom | Skill: Society | Feat: Eye for Numbers Arcade Attendant | Boosts: Dexterity or Charisma | Skill: Society | Feat: Eye for Numbers Auto Mechanic | Boosts: Strength or Intelligence | Skill: Crafting | Feat: Specialty Crafting (mechanical) Bank Teller | Boosts: Charisma or Intelligence | Skill: Society | Feat: Eye for Numbers Building Custodian | Boosts: Constitution or Strength | Skill: Athletics | Feat: Hefty Hauler Carpenter | Boosts: Strength or Dexterity | Skill: Crafting | Feat: Specialty Crafting (wood) Childcare Worker | Boosts: Wisdom or Charisma | Skill: Diplomacy | Feat: Group Impression Diner Cook | Boosts: Constitution or Wisdom | Skill: Survival | Feat: Forager Electrician | Boosts: Intelligence or Dexterity | Skill: Crafting | Feat: Quick Repair EMT / First Responder | Boosts: Wisdom or Constitution | Skill: Medicine | Feat: Battle Medicine Factory Worker | Boosts: Constitution or Strength | Skill: Athletics | Feat: Endurance Farmer | Boosts: Constitution or Wisdom | Skill: Nature | Feat: Forager Feed Store Clerk | Boosts: Charisma or Wisdom | Skill: Diplomacy | Feat: Bargain Hunter Fence Installer | Boosts: Strength or Constitution | Skill: Athletics | Feat: Hefty Hauler Flea Market Vendor | Boosts: Charisma or Dexterity | Skill: Diplomacy | Feat: Bargain Hunter Gas Station Attendant | Boosts: Dexterity or Charisma | Skill: Society | Feat: Streetwise Grain Elevator Operator | Boosts: Strength or Intelligence | Skill: Crafting | Feat: Hefty Hauler Grocery Store Clerk | Boosts: Charisma or Wisdom | Skill: Diplomacy | Feat: Group Impression Groundskeeper | Boosts: Constitution or Wisdom | Skill: Nature | Feat: Forager Gym Teacher | Boosts: Strength or Dexterity | Skill: Athletics | Feat: Quick Jump Hairdresser / Barber | Boosts: Dexterity or Charisma | Skill: Diplomacy | Feat: Impressive Performance Hardware Store Employee | Boosts: Strength or Intelligence | Skill: Crafting | Feat: Specialty Crafting (tools) Irrigation Technician | Boosts: Intelligence or Wisdom | Skill: Nature | Feat: Terrain Expertise (plains) Lifeguard | Boosts: Strength or Dexterity | Skill: Athletics | Feat: Quick Jump Local Radio Host | Boosts: Charisma or Intelligence | Skill: Performance | Feat: Impressive Performance Motel Housekeeper | Boosts: Constitution or Dexterity | Skill: Stealth | Feat: Terrain Stalker (urban) Newspaper Reporter | Boosts: Intelligence or Charisma | Skill: Society | Feat: Streetwise Nurse’s Aide | Boosts: Wisdom or Constitution | Skill: Medicine | Feat: Battle Medicine Pest Control Worker | Boosts: Dexterity or Wisdom | Skill: Survival | Feat: Terrain Stalker (plains) Photographer | Boosts: Dexterity or Intelligence | Skill: Crafting | Feat: Specialty Crafting (visual) Physical Therapist Assistant | Boosts: Wisdom or Strength | Skill: Medicine | Feat: Continual Recovery Plumber | Boosts: Strength or Wisdom | Skill: Crafting | Feat: Quick Repair Police Officer | Boosts: Strength or Wisdom | Skill: Intimidation | Feat: Intimidating Glare Postal Worker | Boosts: Constitution or Wisdom | Skill: Survival | Feat: Forager Ranch Hand | Boosts: Strength or Constitution | Skill: Athletics | Feat: Hefty Hauler Radio Repair Technician | Boosts: Intelligence or Dexterity | Skill: Crafting | Feat: Specialty Crafting (electronics) Real Estate Clerk | Boosts: Charisma or Intelligence | Skill: Diplomacy | Feat: Bargain Hunter School Bus Driver | Boosts: Constitution or Wisdom | Skill: Perception | Feat: Eye for Detail School Janitor | Boosts: Constitution or Strength | Skill: Athletics | Feat: Hefty Hauler Science Teacher | Boosts: Intelligence or Wisdom | Skill: Nature | Feat: Natural Medicine Tattoo Artist | Boosts: Dexterity or Charisma | Skill: Crafting | Feat: Specialty Crafting (art) Tractor Mechanic | Boosts: Strength or Intelligence | Skill: Crafting | Feat: Quick Repair Truck Driver | Boosts: Constitution or Wisdom | Skill: Survival | Feat: Forager Used Car Salesperson | Boosts: Charisma or Intelligence | Skill: Deception | Feat: Charming Liar Utility Line Worker | Boosts: Strength or Dexterity | Skill: Athletics | Feat: Quick Jump Veterinarian Assistant | Boosts: Wisdom or Intelligence | Skill: Medicine | Feat: Risky Surgery Video Rental Clerk | Boosts: Intelligence or Charisma | Skill: Society | Feat: Assurance (Society) Volunteer Firefighter | Boosts: Strength or Constitution | Skill: Athletics | Feat: Titan Wrestler Waitress / Waiter | Boosts: Charisma or Constitution | Skill: Diplomacy | Feat: Hobnobber Welder | Boosts: Strength or Constitution | Skill: Crafting | Feat: Specialty Crafting (metal) If you’ve got another job idea that isn’t on the list, feel free to ask. As long as it fits a normal late-90s small-town role, I’m probably cool with it. We can figure out the boosts, skill, and feat together. --------------------- APPLICATIONS For applications, please DM me your answers to the questions below.
