Like I said, I'm contemplating running a Pathfinder game. Its moved past the idea stage, and I've started worldbuilding. The world is named Anuris, and is a world where recorded Civilization has existed for at least 20,000 years. There were going to be five races playable as PC's plus some halfbreed options, but I've decided on a sixth. The races are, in order of their appearance through the history of the world:

Akim- Winged lion people, once the greatest masters of Empire.

Dwarves- Dour drinkers of ale and builders of mountain fortresses.

Elves- Second oldest of the Five Civilized Races, and least populous of them all; a dying people.

Humans- Versatile conquerors of all but time.

Locin- Canid tricksters, the youngest of the Five Races.

The other playable race is the Sarind- Reptilian dwellers on the edges of civilized lands, their age as a race could be as great as the Akim.

The available halfbreeds are:

Half-Elves, a blending of Human and Elven blood.

Half-Orcs, the offspring of violent intercourse (usually) between humans and the bestial Orcs.

Half-Celestials, those blessed with the blood of the divine or their servants.

Half-Infernals, the offspring of mortal and demonaic matings.

The last two are created as per the normal rules as members of one of the other races, and will gain special abilities (and perhaps frailties as well) later in the game. Only Humans and Elves (and Humans and Orcs) can interbreed without magical assistance. In a later post I'll put up more on each race and the world itself. :)

Oh- and I picked up the Bestiary and the Game Mastery Guide today- I dipped into my MFF money as I thought it was a worthy thing to do. Also, I should be at Convergence this year! I've put in for the time off (as I didn't get my birthday off), and I'll be preregistering with the money I had left after getting the gamebooks.

I'm seriously thinking about running a Pathfinder campaign. I had an idea last night, and I jotted a bunch of things down already. I'm thinking 4 or 5 players, and I know who I wanna ask initially already. It'll start with everyone being 3rd level, and it's going to be a fairly cinematic game... I hope.



Twenty thousand years is how long Civilization has held sway upon Anuris; twenty thousand years where Men and Others strove against each other and the darkness within and without. Heroes lived and died, and the common folk led their lives with the hope that they would never see the adventures of such beings.

In those long eons, civilizations of many races rose and fell; Civilization as a concept though lasted throughout. And now... After so very long a time, there is the sense that change is coming- whether the End Times of the world are upon us, or simply a new Age, is unknown. But the Seers are uneasy, and the rulers of the Five Races have no calm rest.

Now is the time for heroes once again, and we watch and wait for what shall come...



That there is the intro. Not quite the Hyperborean Chronicles, but good enough. :)
