I've been kicking around the idea for a Pathfinder chat game. It would be run on Sundays at 6PM, and last until ~10-11pm CST.
2739 AU>It was supposed to be so simple: an untapped power source from the Wild Ages, sure, but one that barely registered on any scales or divinations. It was too weak for any of the big players to make it a priority, so you found it and tapped into it, hoping to make some money by selling wild magic. But when you touched it, the world... shifted. Gone are the white spires of Amar and her shining dragon knights. In fact, nearly everything is gone. Fires burn everywhere, and nothing is left but ruins and corpses. As you watch, the world fades around you and you feel a sensation of falling...
1255 BU>You awake to find yourselves in a simple, peaceful field. The Wild source is fading, but as it goes you receive a vision and you understand. This is the past, nearly four thousand years ago. Somehow, the events of history have been altered, leading to the end of the world. As you are slowly pulled back to your proper place in time, can you put history right again or even - dare you imagine - meddle further and improve your present?
The themes of this game are:
The flow of time
Things change, yet are always the same
Butterfly effect
While the game does involve time travel, it's not going to be open or freeform travel. The pcs will have little to no control over when it happens or when you arrive. Instead, it's going to be a plot device to tell a wide range of stories and set up the events of the story. Your native time had a tech level similar to a magical Renaissance Europe, and the time you arrive in is about equal to ancient Greece.
House Rules:
I use the D&D 3.5 xp table instead of the Pathfinder one
Genius Guide spellpoints will be used instead of spell slots
Rather than rolling HP, you receive two less than the maximum at each level after the first (so 4 for a d6, 8 for a d10 etc)
I'm pretty open to third party stuff, just run them by me first. No Tome of Secrets.
Characters will start at second level, but only have their first level gold. 25 point buy

Good luck, though!
