Alright everyone, so this was a really tough choice in a few different areas, and I ended up deciding to go with a 6 character party. There was a lot of great character submissions to look at that should easily be able to find a game (I'd seriously run a second table if I could afford the time right now). Now before I list the chosen party members, I figured that I'll give you all some insight based on my selections. I don't select based on roles straight up. I look at the character concept to start with. If the concept strikes me as something I would very much love to see played out, they stay there in consideration. After that I look at backgrounds and see how well I can involve the character into the story. I don't like to run walking stat blocks through a cookie cutter, so I like to add, change, modify, and whatever else to involve the character. After all, it's the story of the characters, I'm just providing the circumstances. Once I get those figured out, then I'll look at roles. So please don't take it as an insult if I didn't select your character. Like I said, it was really tough to go through this list because there were some extremely great concepts that I ended up not choosing for the reasoning that I didn't want them to feel left out of because I wouldn't be able to work them into the story as well as the other members of the party.
Sounds like the kind of DM I would want to play with.
I WILL get Pharithstilis into a RoTRL game one day... one day...
Congrats everyone who was selected, have fun!
Thanks for considering us for this adventure. Good luck to those selected. GM, please keep the rest of us in mind if you need any replacements.
