I'm shocked no one has posted but I think it's due to Pathfinder-based with what probably amounts to a ton of homebrew.
Well to be more specific it is an extra 'abstraction-layer' mounted on top of pathfinder seeing that the 3.x-based variety didn't make the cut, as far as luring in people was concerned.

It being run on roll20 probably isn't helping.

Huh I didn't realize that roll20 used as gaming platform would be deemed such such a turn off :v Then again mostly lurking here in other sections so what I may know  :rolleyes

Anyhow, the offer still stands, currently progressing through the thing with 3 PCs + occasional NPC party members.

Campaign name: Istrial playtest 2.0
GM(s): Duralan (got around ~10 years of DM-ing experience under my belt)
Players:  ~2-3 more required atm
System: Pathfinder base + few tiny holdovers from 3.5 (namely few unearthed arcana variant rules) along with a prototype mecha ruleset bolted on top.
Campaign setting: the action takes place in a sword&sorcery sort of world (albeit with somewhat diminished magic) which only recently experienced another arcane-tech revolution after the introduction of what is known as 'Arcane frames' (the mechs of the setting, in general employed to both protect the pilot inside, as well as amplify his magic).
The tensions are once again rising high as remilitarization efforts are conducted by all powers on the continent otherwise plagued with the menace of giant monsters (them gargaunts!), magical anomalies and magitechnical horrors of the ancient past.
A bit of crunch: The campaign can be seen as semi-gestalt, as basically gestalt happens by mounting a frame and thus (sort of) merging your pilot stats with that of the mech.
By default the PCs are expected to do their adventuring in mechs.

Recruitment bits: Looking for 2-3 more players tops preferably somewhere from Europe but EST should work too if you're flexible enough.
This campaign chapter is meant to last from lvl 5 to 8th (the party went through prologue which took them to level 5th albeit then some of them became unavailable).
The games so far were taking place during weekends, mostly Saturdays.
We're employing discord to facilitate dev work for the setting, and roll20 to run the actual games.
In the current state the campaign's text only though.

With the use of the Undersong spell (SpC) one could technically use his perform checks in place of concentration checks - that was the foundation of the currently '404d' 'Lord of the Dance' build on the old 339 boards.

Still, I found it more amusing to employ my warforged battle-bard's fancy dance moves in place of saves and... damage at times (diamond mind maneuvers here hehe).

From a more practical perspective... we could perhaps use bard/warblade paired with song of the white raven and whip for some semi-decent trip-happy battlefield control (and bards DO get quite a hefty number of ways of getting morale bonuses).
Somehow getting a constant item of Undersong is a must in that case, though the novelty of 'performing your foes away' is can result in memorable, if silly, moments.

I am afraid that this option might still be out of reach of our lvl 1 psicrystal. The one, often missed that is, bit of the feat's description implies the requirement of 11 Cha. Our pet rock has 10 there.

Bind vestige chain is much more useful with the assumption that psicrystals *do* get feats (savnok full plate + metamorphed crystal into retriever = nice) but sadly that is not the case in here.

IIRC shaping soulmelds requires one to possess con score... and our pet rock with a "-" there hardly qualifies.
There's one feat which allows the undead to shape soulmelds but at the same time there's no such option for constructs.
