What is Eternity's End?

 

Eternity's End is both a place and a non-place, existing in multiple planes simultaneously and nowhere at all. It is a gathering place for dead races, unborn gods, forgotten heroes, restless ghosts, and the engineers of worlds as yet uncreated. Almost all the inhabitants of the Inn are travelers, either by design or by chance. Many have simply stopped here during journeys to other places, while others came to the Inn accidentally, then realized they could not get home...

Eternity's End is a new kind of game on DnDOG that is powered by the Pathfinder Gaming System that operates as a hybrid of the dynamic story telling of PBP and massive multi-player online game but without the typical pitfalls of No linear play, grinding, collapsing games due to loss of player or gm, etc.MMOs or PBP. It has a persistent static setting of an Inn that exists where players meet and obtain quests and travel through dimensional doors that take them to literally any kind of world or adventure that a GM can come up with, in any kind of setting they would like to run! The game is stress tested and can functionally run in a balanced fashion and support as many players as there are GMs for the project.

Plot Summary "But it is the province of religion, of philosophy, of pure poetry only, to go beyond life, beyond time, into eternity." -de Vigny Eternity's End is an inn that is both a place and a non-place, existing in multiple planes simultaneously and yet also nowhere at all. It is a gathering place for dead races, unborn gods, forgotten heroes, restless ghosts, and the engineers of worlds as yet uncreated. Almost all the inhabitants of the Inn are travelers, either by design or by chance. Many have simply stopped here during journeys to other places, while others came to the Inn (whether accidentally or intentionally) and then realized they could not get home...

Hello all! I'm WoLT (aka The name of my first home brew campaign settingWorld of L'Tiene, or alternately A kLoKwErK kAoS, the name of my band and media companyAKK), RPG enthusiast of twenty years with PBP experience of four years, proud contributor to Explosive Runes, and creator of the PBP GM Academy and PBP guides (see my signature).

I am setting up a new Don't be thrown by the "MMO" portion as the general issues that cause online mmo's to be undesirable are circumvented here, such as static linear progression of a static story line and other issues. In this case MMO just means Massive Multiplayer Online, without other connotations attached.MMO-PBP-RPG that promises to be bigger and better than the I have created one of these before, this one is much better designed as I learned a lot from my time as Creator of the Crossroads Innfirst incarnation and I want you to join!

Game Teaser!

Notice: Please do not PM me about this game but instead respond in this thread. You may use private tags if you wish to address a matter you would prefer to discuss in a less than public manner. I expect a large influx of questions and would prefer to keep all communications centralized in this thread. Thank you very much for cooperating in this matter.

Here's a few questions to ponder...

 

• Are you a PBP Game Master familiar with Pathfinder?
  
  
• Have you ever wanted to be able to PC (not NPC) alongside your favorite PCs as a character, not as their GM sometimes?
  
  
• Are you looking for a great way to try lots of different adventures and meet lots of different kinds of players?
  
  
• Do you want to be part of what may potentially fast become the The previous incarnation achieved aproxamately fifty active, daily posting members within 2 months of the official launch,largest PBP game on DnDOG?
  
  
• Are you looking for a group of great role players that post routinely?
  
  
• Have you ever just wanted to try running a particular kind of one shot but didn't want to commit to a whole campaign?
  
  
• Ever want to run adventures with no long term ramifications to deal with?
  
  
• How about working with an incredibly strong team of GMs on the cutting edge of innovating great new PBP ideas on a scale likely larger than any other PBP game you will encounter?
  
  
• Does the possibilities of an open ended MMO-PBP-RPG excite you?
  
  
• Do you dislike the idea of games collapsing because a couple players or the GM drops out?

Answering "yes" to any of those questions and more means you should definitely take a moment to examine Eternity's End closer to see if this game is right for you!

Why me?

 

You were invited to this project because you have either shown interest in being part of Eternity's End elsewhere, or been an awarded GM on DnDOG (valued expertise), or have wandered in or been otherwise referred here. If you were not referred here, but are a walk-in, that's great, but you should read on to see if you qualify for entrance before applying.

While we are accepting interest from players, at this time we seek GMs as the project is not fully ready to launch until the primary development team clears it and certain site functionality is implemented to better accommodate a game of this scale.

Qualified GMs will be asked to make a GM PC that will operate like a regular PC in all ways, except that the GM will be expected to have expressed interest in the project in terms of GMing adventures here and/or serving as game staffers.

Can I GM here?

 

Before we even get started telling you all the ins and outs, lets save you some time by finding out if you qualify right up front, even if you don't, you can still apprentice. Exceptions will be made during the initial phase for those who are enthusiastic about the project and may not otherwise qualify, provided they still have good core GM skills and posting habits. If you don't, don't worry, you can always just join the PBP GM Academy and learn how to be a great GM with a method that has taught many great GMs on this site already!

View GM and Apprentice prerequisites here.

What if I run 3.5 or some other game instead of Pathfinder, can I still qualify?
Yes, however you will have to learn as well as Eternity's End Rules,Pathfinder in order to run here which is free and easy to learn. You may wish to sign up for the PBP GM Academy as well.

Why Play or GM at Eternity's End?

 

There are literally tons of reasons to play this game. I will only list a few key concepts, but know that this list can go on much, much longer.

• Strong In-Game Player and GM incentives and rewards, tons of them.
  
  
• Meet lots of GMs and Players to expand your gaming circles!
  
  
• It's free to play, no books required! Game includes Core, Official expansions and 3pp! *(pending tier qualification)
  
  
• Due to rotating GMs and Players, you don't have to worry about the game going on a hiatus or falling apart because someone drops! There are even special incentives that in case a GM drops, another qualified GM can step in and finish the game for the players to receive considerable compensation!
  
  
• Tons of character customization options; make the character you want to play! Have a strange setting for your background? Not a problem. Your options even potentially include 3pp and we may consider well balanced home brew at a later time (on a case by case basis).
  
  
• A balanced game system (within the Pathfinder system parameters) that prevents cheating and gross imbalance for the sake of running a mass game. Eternity's End also solves internally many of the key problems with PBP (slow posting rates, games ending because of dropping players and GMs, overall game fairness, etc.).
  
  
• Tons of ways to play! Not only are there adventures of all kinds imaginable, but also freeform options, a PVP arena and a straight up RP pub, not to mention special events and contests put forth by the EE staff.
  
  
• A great place to game if you're new to PBP RPGs! When the game grows large enough, open recruiting will occur, allowing that all DnDOG Members will have a place to Play starting on Day 1, not just for one single intro adventure, but a full campaign setting with literally limitless options for adventure. Imagine the possibilities considering community growth and strength that having such a game would encourage!

But what kind of adventures can I run?
provided it doesn't conflict with site, pathfinder or EE rulesAny kind! The game tone, setting, and various sliding scale axioms are whatever you would like! You can run a persistent world, or a new setting every time, try out experimental ideas or stick to the tried and true classic formulas, it's up to you!

So... What exactly is Eternity's End?

 

In short, Eternity's End is a new kind of game on DnDOG. It has a persistent static setting of an Inn where players meet and obtain quests and travel through dimensional doors that take them to literally any kind of world or adventure that you can come up with in any kind of setting you would like to run! Characters can thus literally jump into game worlds with random parties and play out adventures of any kind imaginable with very minimal restrictions. An entire team of DMs runs various adventures of any kind they wish and players are free to play in any of the games they qualify for.

But what about all the problems that happen with having lots of GMs and continuity and other things and stuff..?

Not to worry, we figured it out. Stay tuned to figure out how. It's pretty complex, but trust me when I say we've had a lot of experts working on this

Start by jumping in on the welcome page and learning what all the players will know, particularly paying close attention to the Tour and EE Manuals.

What if I have trouble with creativity?

 

Don't worry, we have a constantly growing database that includes the following: Full Pre-written adventures (some are published freeware, other proprietary to EE), adventure hooks and ideas to be developed, Unique NPC and Monster ideas, maps and more... not to mention many of your fellow experienced GMs will be happy to help you with your adventure creation by offering creative and rules suggestions as you form it, and best yet, it's your adventure so you can decide to use or not use any of their creative suggestions. We like to think we do everything possible to make GMing at Eternity's End as easy as possible for you.

Why Not?

 

After all of that, what reason would you have not to want to be a part of a game like this? The framework has already been stress tested and I assure you from experience that the game will be incredibly popular with players once it launches. If there's one thing players love, it's being allowed to play whatever they want and forge their own legend, and with an epic fantasy campaign setting that allows for any potential background and limitless adventure, you can bet players will be lined up and itching to try out that character they've always wanted, or to reinvent one of their old favorites.

At the end of the day, there's lots to love about this style of game and if you've made it this far, there's only one thing left to do...

What is your interest Level?

 

Please respond with the phrase that best suites you and feel free to elaborate:

1) I am significantly interested and have lots of time, enthusiasm and creativity to devote to this project, please consider me for a staff position.

2) I am significantly interested, what do I do next?

3) I am casually interested in this project but unwilling to commit to anything (please complete the exam and readiness sign off at your leisure, no one will twist your arm and you can get involved when you are ready to).

4) I am interested in doing this but don't have the time to commit right now (please include a reasonable estimate of when you will have the time).

5) I am only interested as a player and do not want to GM and fully understand that means I'm missing out on getting bigger and more incentives as well as play options. Please contact me when the game is ready to open to the public.

6) I am not interested.

after reviewing this advertisementOnce you have posted your level of interest, where appropriate, you will be given further instructions from the head GM.

What's Next?

 

The Development Team will be in meetings about discussing some specific rules that need clarification as well as what can be done to improve the game on several levels while all the GMs are completing their sign offs. When enough GMs are signed off and ready to run, the player referrals and posted interest players will be brought in first for the initial public launch. When those lists are exhausted, pending more available slots, open recruiting will begin until such a time as full time open recruiting can be accommodated.

Also, while you are wandering about EE... if something seems out of place, question it! At worst it will be explained to you and The game is still new, though we have beta tested.at best you might have just identified a problem area!

Getting Started

 

Getting started at Eternity's End is a big undertaking and it may take you a while to acclimate yourself to the environment as it's a very new kind of PBP gaming concept and that's entirely OK! Just know that you may have to set aside a little extra time to get involved in a game that is built to be resilient enough to be able to manage an infinite number of players and GMs.

If you do notice something that looks suspect in your reading, please do let your voice be heard in the Help Area or Suggestion Box as appropriate or feel free to ask in this recruiting thread and I will be sure to monitor the thread progress and answer as many questions as I am able.

And now to dive right in!

Head on over to the Welcome area by clicking the link to Eternity's End in my signature and decide if Eternity's End is right for you!

Please be sure to follow up by posting your interest level as noted above.

April 10, 2012:

• Site Map
  
  
• Closed Beta Recruiting has no closed date at this time. The closing will be about the time that I am too busy to accept more applicants and will likely close suddenly with only a short warning. This is entirely dependent upon how much attention each individual needs so I cannot realistically project when this will occur.
  
  
• Apprenticeship is required to be a staffer, mostly because the GM exam is designed to test your knowledge of the Pathfinder and EE rules to some extent. The main difference between an apprentice and a GM is that an apprentice hasn't completely finished the sign off (probably at some various stage) but has completed the exam. This means that the apprentice isn't running games, but is preparing to on some level.

April 11, 2012

• The EE Player's Manual has been updated with further clarification on how how to calculate EM rewards VS xp.
  
  
• Added in New Player Solo Games to the new member guide.

The posting format was updated in the front lobby due to a typo.

April 14, 2012

Several Typos were fixed thanks to the dedicated eyes of Insacrum, also added 1 RAI clarification:

RAI CLARIFICATION House Rules: Purchasing Spells Can a spell caster temporarily learn a spell for the duration of an adventure and not purchase it? Say the DM requires the use of an obscure spell in order to get past a point in the adventure and the PCs don't have the spell. Could the DM include a scroll for a magic user to learn from, or should the DM include enough scrolls in case the magic user doesn't want to learn it. -Insacrum This is an excellent question. Yes, the intent of the rules of EM are that the character can soul bind something to their character. If a GM offers a spell (a scroll is probably a better idea, but you know, whatever they want to do is fine,) then yes, the PC can use it for the duration of the adventure, just as they could any other piece of gear, follower, or other temporary service. Without having the enchanter bind the item to their essence once they return to the inn, then it becomes lost. -WoLT

This sounds like an incredible project! In fact, recently I've been wondering why something of this undertaking hasn't been introduced just yet, haha. I'd love the option to be able to play in a game or three from the Inn, but will have to come back to read more a little bit later. My real questions are in regards to apprentice GM or Co-GM or the sort. I read so much to know that I don't qualify for GM, but I'd love the option to be able to watch and interact with another GM, learn a few things about PbP GM'ing. Also just the resources available to help me flesh out some campaign ideas make this a real inspiration for me.

Question time:
What kind of involvement can an apprentice GM be expected to take? I'm expecting that they're a little more than a player, just with perks of being able to interact with other GM's on their level?

[Quori]

It sounds very incredible.

Without further reading on commitments and other links, I must slot myself at interest level 5.

My post rate and interest are both high. I only apply to games that stand out to me, and check them several times a day (on average). Though some holidays or weekends I am away from my computer. My job keeps me mostly in front of one.

Though I am not adverse to looking into taking on a role above level 5. I am very loathe to make promises I cannot keep, and accept a responsibility I cannot hold long-term. So I will keep it in mind, but not making that level of commitment.

[ShadowcatX]

As you well know, I'm definitely interested in this. I'm afraid to commit to 2 posts a day, especially not DM level posts but I do know the pathfinder rules very well and I enjoy looking over character sheets (and helping build characters if anyone needs it), so, assuming a staff position doesn't have to be a DM, I could be a character audit official. I would also like to be an apprentice (Just recently hit 2000 so yay! lol).

P.S. Where is room 0?

Cuross: As I understand it, apprentice GMs will be a bit more work than a normal player, we'll be expected to chip in with ideas, talk about balance concerns if any come up, and in general make use of the GM resources as though we were GMs (and maybe even help out GMs who may not "get" everything (such as XP or EM) as well as we do but who are able to run a game). We just won't have to actually worry about running a game. I could, however, be very wrong, that is just my understanding.

An mmo-pbp-rpg sort of has if you count Pathfinder Society, except that PFS is a very different kind of thing because of several very important differences that exist between it and EE, primarily being that PFS was engineered for and sort of adapted for PBP as an afterthoughtTabletop and EE was engineered specifically for PBP from the get go and specifically deals with PBP issues. There's also the dynamic setting type that makes it very different from standard PFS, among other things.

As far as time commitments, as an apprentice you progress at your own rate, there is no time commitment you must adhere to, except to say that if you don't participate diligently and make it a point to get involved like you would any other game, you're not going to get much out of it. As an apprentice you gain access to the secret GM board (as well as the resources therein) and are given GM status so you can do things like view private text in games and see all of the behind the scenes action that goes into a game. You also have the community within the game to draw on, which serves a lot like the DM screen of the main board, except the GMs here will all be operating under the same exact rules so they'll be able to answer your questions much better than someone on the DM screen who isn't familiar with the rules of EE.

I would suggest then that if you are so inclined, continue reading and asking questions to see if your interest increases. It is bound to be a while before recruiting is open beyond the closed beta and there is no cut off time to join as a GM. At this time I haven't decided when recruiting will end for the closed beta yet, but it will be some time around the time where I have my hands full with coordinating efforts.

Posts per day is not how many you are required to make at EE, but rather the statistic listed on your profile, yours is listed as 2.68, so you qualify there.

GMs set the posting rate for their own games within EE, so if you were to state you wanted to post 5x a week, or w/e you're comfortable with, that's up to you to decide. Generally speaking, most XP rewards at EE are set for 1/day from the GM and players, but that's not something that is set in stone either and some flexibility is a must in this area as real life happens and this is a hobby, so IRL emergencies must be allowed to take precedence.

Room 0
Also, I'll be posting the link to the Game Map in the OP now as well.

I very much am interested in having a set of good auditors and am glad you put your name in for that asap. In the last incarnation I learned very quickly how incredibly important having good auditors is. These people know the rules really well and help everyone get everything ready and qualified and without them the game couldn't exist properly.

As people dig deeper in the notes they'll discover that staff members are given bonus XP for their service. Apprentice GMs however, are not until they complete their sign off which is worth a hefty sum of XP right off the bat, not to mention the rewards they reap after that.

Oh man, an idea and game of this magnitude...and not what to be a part of it? Absurd!

However, I fear I do not meet any of the qualifications to become an Apprentice GM to the game as of yet, even though my RL experience as a GM/DM is going on to about three years of active gaming. I have much enthusiasm and interest into a mold-breaking game such as this, I would be interest level 5 but based on the requirements put forth, I would be more than likely not able to participate in much of anything. However, when the Closed Beta is ended and open for the general public to join, I would be more than happy to join and learn from such a wide variety of people. I will be rooting for you guys, as well as watching Eternity's End progress into the fantastic gaming idea that I know it to be.

P.S~ I am not a Full-time student or worker(unfortunately for me, atm) so I have ample amount of time on my hands to be of any kind of help you may deem me to be worthy of.

Sincerely, Inukotsu18

P.S~ I am not a Full-time student or worker(unfortunately for me, atm) so I have ample amount of time on my hands to be of any kind of help you may deem me to be worthy of.

Sincerely, Inukotsu18

Your enthusiasm is appreciated. I would suggest you keep peeling through if you can afford to, and you may find yourself feeling more qualified as you do

I see what you mean, thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Interesting. I've flirted with GMing, but still think I'll hold back at this point, though let me read apprenticeship rules a little more.

I would be interested in helping out as a 1). Any Position. I do fiddle around with character sheets enough where I believe a Character sheet auditor would work well with me, as would a monitor, but really think I could/would be willing to do most of them.

Started actually reading the materials... I must say, it's very intense and satisfying. Do I have to use the same GM application to apply for apprentice GM? Just add links to a game lasting over three months now? And maybe I might get to it in a little bit, but are there applications for any of the other staff positions? Would you need to apply to be a GM or apprentice GM to staff? Asking cuz I'm interested in creating and/or playing a Pub NPC and/or trying my hand at the Help board monitor.

Maybe I might be stepping a little deep too quickly, but this is something rather appealing.

BTW: Love the story telling bit! I hope to try that out once this gets going

Apprenticeship is required to be a staffer, mostly because the GM exam is designed to test your knowledge of the Pathfinder and EE rules to some extent. The main difference between an apprentice and a GM is that an apprentice hasn't completely finished the sign off (probably at some various stage) but has completed the exam. This means that the apprentice isn't running games, but is preparing to on some level. I should probably go and edit that in because it seems to be a point of confusion.

As far as being a staffer, thanks so much for your open ended desire to staff, that will really help and I'll do my best to get you into the best position for you and the game as the staff starts to materialize a bit more. Please complete the GM app and we'll be on our way to getting you prepped for staff

To apply for staff you just apply to do it here as part of your interest check.

To apply as an apprentice you complete the same exam as a regular GM, just answer the questions like "link to game" with "I don't have one, I am here to apprentice" or something like that and I'll get you moving in the right direction.
