New game starting in Xalliman
Tone
This game is intended to be played as a more serious, role-playing experience. This could mean an entire session or two without combat, a lot of conversation, and a requirement to actually roleplay. The world is largely undeveloped and as so you will be fleshing it out with your actions, so take that into account with your roleplaying. If your character is spouting on about his training and mentions that he trained in a hilltop monastery in the land of Shang under the master Li-fei, then those places and people now exist. Don't feel as if you have to fit all your conversation, backstory or fiction into the world as it already exists, you are free to make up whatever you want.
On that note, it is highly encouraged to write accompanying fiction or character journals or the like. There will be in-game rewards for out-of-game contributions like that, perhaps in the form of Action-Points to allow cinematic scenes or incredibly lucky outcomes. That will be discussed at our first session.
Books: Pathfinder Core Rulebook, Advanced Player's Guide, Advanced Race Guide - For character creation, after creation all official PF books are fair game.
Races: Preferably core races; though the Advanced Race Guide adds in exotic races it would be optimal to not have more than 2 members of the party being some kind of crazy frog race.
Gods: Nature of Divinity will explain how divinity and godhood works in this world. Gods will have a table of all gods allowed for use in this game world.
