2) While getting the pathfinder core rules I did also pick up a physical D&D starter set (2014 edition). Would it be easy enough to adapt that included adventure to pathfinder (the D&D campaign book is called lost mine of phandelver) ? I suspect the answer is yes considering Pathfinder's origins.

I can't comment on adapting for Pathfinder, but just to observe that the starter set you picked up with Lost Mines of Phandelver is very highly regarded in its own right - arguably one of the best written adventures for D&D5e. And all the rules you'll need are in the starter set already - no need to get the D&D core rules. (Though if you wanted to, there are free versions that have all the essential content available online).

I don't care between hardcover, softcover, and box sets, to be honest; as long as I have something I can physically grab and read I am happiest. I'm also ok with either wiki style or pdf, which isn't very helpful 😄

Sometimes you eat the gelatinous cube. Sometimes the gelatinous cube eats you.

Probably the same way that I used to pick a dozen doughnuts when I lived in America and that was a thing: pick my favourite, the favourites of the people I'm buying for, and then a bunch of random ones so we can try something new. So it would largely depend upon the other people I am picking for, but my favourite is D&D (I know, not a popular pick on here, but that's what started me down this path in the '70's, and it's provided me with heaps of joy over the intervening decades). As for untried ones, I have previously mentioned Tekumel, the Rocky and Bullwinkle Role Playing Party Game, and Pendragon, but add in any others I haven't tried and I will be happy.

Closing this thread as four players (mentioned above) already expressed interest. Unfortunately this scenario does not allow for more. I thank you all for your interest!

I opened an OOC thread for initial discussions and preparations. If at any time some of the original players drop out during this initial stage I will start asking those of you who expressed interest.

Thank you all again!

Well Jester, the simple truth is I've never used RPGG & the Geek roller! Not saying I couldn't or I don't like it, just that it may take me a bit longer to get my head around although I'm sure it's not too tricky. I am more than happy to have lurkers BTW as a good 'story' is what I'm hoping to build with players. As Luke points out I use email as I know how to 'keep secrets' that way, however as you say I could DM them to achieve that...Also I'm thinking that the character creation would be a bit boring for others to see on the forum wouldn't it?

GMs usually start 2 separate threads for their PbF games, one out of character for all the chatter, character creation and questions etc and the other on in character stuff only. That way lurkers can subscribe to the actual game thread only :)

That was fun, thanks! I have to say, I definitely enjoy writing catastrophic endings more than successes.

I hear that! There were definitely times when I was disappointed that my dice roll was successful! 😅

Hi Jonna, My apologies for posting this in the wrong forum. I did ask Steve Dubya (a moderator, who kindly replied quickly to me) where it should go since (as you also point out) it didn't seem to 'fit' well in either category and he suggested it go in Play by VoIP. I guess it's just too old-school 😞
Regards,
Jakko

Absolutely no worries, I just figured that ppl who are playing by Forum would be subscribed to this section so this way your game got more attention. Ppl who want to play by voice would be subscribing to the PbV forum and I just thought ppls who might be interested in your game, might miss it there :)
