It is early evening in Port Peril. The sounds from the tavern are just starting to pick up as the sailors, merchants and visitors gather for the evening. A halfling woman stands on a barrel in the corner, playing a fiddle and loudly singing vulgar tunes. The bartender, a man missing most of his teeth and one of his eyes, stands behind the bar, wiping the glasses with a cloth that is filthier than the clothing he wears. There are several empty tables and stools at the bar, waiting to be filled.
That's when you arrive…

Looking forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!

the Spoiler is Not needed but always helpful,

To be honest I plan on this getting a little off track, from the full plot but I do expect to make it thru.
please let me know if you have any questions. I will answer here or in PM if you ask in PM

It has been a while Since I have GM'ed a good game, So I hope that this goes well.


I'm interested! How do you feel about an Elven Arcanist or an Elven Investigator (Empricist archetype)?

It's fine if neither of those are a go, it's fine as I can modify my human fighter from a Skulls and Shackles game that never went through.

And I'm not sure if you would accept it, but I have a human antipaladin I'd really like to use that plays well with others....


I would be okay with either of the elves or the human fighter, Choose one and submit them,
The human antipaladin I am not really interested in having play though.

Please submit which ever one you would like though.


Hi, here is a Elven Witch that didn't make it into a previous campaign. Would have to refactor her for the differing character generation rules but she's pretty much complete otherwise.

1. She's suited to be the ship's historian and the person with the healing skills so the ship's surgeon.

2. She's chaotic good. She wouldn't have a problem with plundering and stealing to an extent from anybody. She would prefer to do it from the wealthy or other criminals though. Killing innocents though she'd avoid if possible. When I was coming up with her I was really thinking of maybe putting her in as CN but I know some GM's don't like that. She's NOT random though in either her CG or CN incarnation it's just that her lonely childhood has made her somewhat odd in her affectation and manner.

3. Ancient Explorer. It's the trait that makes the most sense for an elf from a traditionalist forest clan of elves in Kyonin ending up in Port Peril and tying in really well with her motivation.

Survey:

Background:
Where was your character born?
Kyonin

Who raised her?
Her clan, but pretty early she found her interests and desires completely at odds with theirs to the point that she became a forlorn exile within her own homeland.

What was happening in the region when your character was growing up?
Her family is pretty involved politically in Kyonin as fiercly xenophobic and isolationist completely uninterested in anything other than preserving Elven purity in the Forests of Kyonin. They pretty much demand everyone that is a part of the clan fall in line with this philosophy and pretty much all of them do.

Does your character have any relatives?
Yes, parents and siblings and extende family all alive.

Motivation
Outwardly Chaenath just wants to learn anything she can about the seas and the oceans as books (and the lake bordering Kyonin) were the only way she could get close to it. Really though I think she's just looking for someplace to belong. Crew of a pirate ship would be perfect really.

What are your character’s immediate goals? What would he like to do in the coming year?
Learn about and find the Cyclopean ruins. Cyclops are a large part of the adventure story she read as a child that really helped fuel her obsession with the seas and that obsession has continued and led her to Port Peril in the first place.

What are her long-term goals?
She's pretty chaotic. No long term goals in her mind.

What type of person would be herideal mate?
Someone who wishes to live on or near the seas for the rest of their lives. Not put out by someone socially maladjusted and a bit on the kooky side.

Who is her patron deity? Is she a devout worshiper?
She's a Water Patron witch and yes the Water, Seas, and Oceans are very important to her.

Is she a devout member of any nonreligious cause?
No, not an organize religion or movement person.

Is there any race, creed, alignment, religion or the like against which he is strongly prejudiced?
Reacting to her childhood, she does not like Lawful Types.

What is her greatest fear?
Being Buried alive.

What is the one task she absolutely refuses to do?
Hrm, nothing is coming to me. Hopefully somethign like this will come out through play. She's really ill suited to strenous tasks though as she's not very strong.

If you have any more questions let me know. Other than refactorhing her
I think she's complete.


dotting. I have a halfling rogue I would like to submit.


Sounds good so far. I am interested in see what else comes out of this recruitment. Please keep on checking back to see who will get selected.

Remember 1 week from today

10/7/14 3am CST it will end


I'm Interested If its ok with the GM id like to put in an inspired swashbuckler, who is by trade a pirate. Ill have to redo his points but ill try to have him up tonight. He has a bit of a backstory and it is growing.

1. He would for sure see himself as an officer if not first mate. His goal is to have his own ship someday like his father did before he died.

2. He is chaotic neutral and worships the pirate goddess. While not evil he has no problems with the pirate life.

3. Not sure ill look at the traits when i get off work and decide then.


dotting for interest, will work on a concept.


Since I finally have access to a computer and stable internet connection again, I'm ready to try and get back into action. And I have always wanted to play this campaign, so here is my submission!

Presenting Kuuthros, the kobold "master" chef and hunter/gatherer/ranger! He isn't quite finished, but he's an eccentric little guy who loves to cook and prepare a variety of things, mostly semi-sentient creatures. His ultimate goal is to create a fully comprehensive cookbook of recipes, his magnum opus magnum opus, The Compendium of the World's Most Magnificent Creatures and How to Cook Them for Dinner. His current book of recipes includes several practical and theoretical ways to prepare and serve kobolds, goblins, gnomes (gamey, but very delicious!), humans, dwarves (sour, recommend lots of sugar), drunken half-elves (already conveniently marinated!), bugbears, various animals, even more various bugs, and a very grouchy ghoul.

I haven't figured out his stats exactly yet, but I do know he's a ranged fighter and professional cook. He's smart (if a little... enthusiastic) and actually does know his stuff (including how to write... not a common feat for a kobold!) He knows how to hunt a lot of different things, and he's fairly skilled fighting from a long range.

He's currently in Port Peril trying to add a large number of seafood recipes to his cookbook, even the more unsavory ones. He intends to test them all and see which ones are the best for his cookbook. If he were forced onto a ship, he would be the crew's cook (at his request-more chances to cook sea critters!) and probably the ship's hold organizer so that he can get to all the things he needs as quickly as possible. If need be, he also might act as a ship's doctor ("Kuuthros has a whole section on home remedies!")


@Vahanian 89 Go ahead and put him together, I would be interested in seeing what you have.

@Kuuthros the Chef
sounds Good, let's see his stuff!

Keep it up let's go


Dotting. I have a concept from a game that fell through, will make an alias for it tonight.

Tiefling Magus, descendant of a famous pirate captain who was, by legend, descended of the Horseman of War. Will post full background with alias, tonight, but I can answer these:

1. What position do you see yourself eventually in on a ship?
Probably Captain, at least in her own mind.

2. How do you feel about piracy in general? (This includes stealing, killing, plundering, etc.)
Sounds awesome!

3. Which campaign trait are you selecting and why?
Buccaneer's Blood, for reason stated above.


What are your thoughts on paired characters, like if you take one, you must take the other?

Would I be allowed to play an Android for this? I've been really wanting to do an android investigator for an old homebrew character that I absolutely loved.


Dotting for interest in a swashbuckler, would you allow me to use the inspired blade archetype and I would also like to change my rapier to slashing purely for flavor but I understand if you wouldn't allow it


@Hotaru of the Society
What are your thoughts on paired characters, like if you take one, you must take the other?......
Umm it would depend.
Would I be allowed to play an Android for this? I've been really wanting to do an android investigator for an old homebrew character that I absolutely loved.
No sorry, Android is something would not be allowed

@Pathfinder Zoey
inspired blade archetype: Sure that is fine. As for the Slashing for the rapier that is fine by me it adds that ZING


Doing some updating. I'll also answer those 3 key queries from above:

1. What position do you see yourself eventually in on a ship?
Ship's cook, naturally, though he could also be part-time ship surgeon. Disturbingly, but surprisingly, learning to pull off the tasty parts of things gives him a good idea of how to put them back together... mostly.

2. How do you feel about piracy in general? (This includes stealing, killing, plundering, etc.)
Kuuthros is Chaotic Neutral, so he's chiefly out to see himself taken care of. As such, he doesn't really have much care about the pirate imagery, though he is certainly up for anything that gives him new ingredients and supplies to work with.

3. Which campaign trait are you selecting and why?
Ship's Surgeon. While he's never actually been on a ship, he's adaptable and happy anywhere. That means that whether on dry land or a rickety ship, he knows how to cut up (and glue together) living things.


Oh, one question I do have: Would I be allowed to use Dervish Dance with a cutlass, since it's mechanically identical to a scimitar, and matches the pirate flavor better?


Dotting. I'll have something up tonight.


as much as would like this.. and I even have a character... I will hold out for a legacy of fire or Jade regent game...

Here is Risam, will need to look him over to make sure he meets your requirements. Are ratfolk acceptable?


Is 3rd party on the table pending inspection?


Here is Allie. She was designed for Skulls and Shackles pbp, and has gone through two partial runs of The Wormwood Mutiny, but never got farther than arriving at a certain island before the games struck metaphorical reefs.

She'd like to give it another try!


Pretty sure he is ready. ;)

RP Sample:

A small figure sits on the dock his little legs dangling under his mantle of brown cloth, a simple mask upon his face and over his head. Thinking of yet another refusal to serve on a pirate ship, still he left them a little bomb for their troubles and good fortune. Perhaps if they had taken the time to listen to him of his alchemic abilities they would have considered things properly. Now here he was still in Port Peril with little to no prospects.

A sudden tugging on his mantle, a roar of a curse, and the thump of a heavy foot fall brought him out of his thoughts. Turning to spy the source he saw a lean muscled and somewhat ugly human, clearly a pirate recently come ashore for some drink and fun. The human glares at him as he speaks.

"Oi you juju looking midget, why don't ya sit somewhere else. How ya gonna make this right you pipsqueak?"

Unseen due to his mask he gave a wide needle toothed smile. Picking himself up he raised his hands.

"Pardons good sir. How about I buy your first round and even a second if you think me insincere."

The pirate seems taken aback for a moment but quickly grunts what could be taken for acceptance. Shortly they are both at one of the countless taverns near the dock, not to long after the man is deep in his cups while Risam keeps buying. The pirate softening with each empty bottle.

"Your a small one but a prince ya know."

Risam pats him on the shoulder as his other hand, not for the first time, lightens the man's purse of a few coins.

"Let me go get you another, good sir."

Dodging between the many long legs and moving like a shadow he makes his way to the bar.

"The man over there wants another and a room to sleep it off. Give him a message from me too. I had some business to tend to and I wish him good fortune."

He leaves a few coins to pay for what he requested. After all the pirate had given him double that without knowing, least he could do for the man after his generous gift. Leaving to another portion of the docks, a good distance from where he had been, he once more sits to take in the view of the sea. A view that shakes and blurs as something very hard hits the back of his head and causes him to meet the waves before the darkness.

Answers:

1. What position do you see yourself eventually in on a ship?
I see Risam as a good Master Gunner or Quartermaster sense they play to his strengths.

2. How do you feel about piracy in general? (This includes stealing, killing, plundering, etc.)
Risam has no problem with it in the least. He is a do as needed type, he looks for the best solution. Be that diplomacy or otherwise.

3. Which campaign trait are you selecting and why?
Touched by the Sea as it fits Risam's backstory and his sense of seeing himself as a shackles native as well as his home. Even if he has yet to find a place to call his own or his people's in the region.

Ships Surgeon perhaps, or navigator if he can learn the skills.

Before I go too in depth, I have played in the path and own it. Is that a problem for you? I can separate my player knowledge from my character knowledge, but some find it uncomfortable. If that is the case it is understandable and perfectly alright.

I played with a certain chrome skulled villain at the helm, but the game ended early due to, well a baby. I would love to have a chance to play!

Please let me know!


Ok here is Drak, Vahanian's submission.

Backstory:
Drak is the son of Clooney and Leala Roberts. He grew up by the sea and spent his whole life wanting to be on it. His father had been the captain of his own ship, a merchant ship for the world to see but truly he was a pirate one of the most feared of his day. Before his father disappeared without a trace, he told Drak that should he ever need anything all he needed to do was tell a captain his name and doors would open. After his father disappeared his uncle, who was a sailor and a swordsman, helped raised Drak and taught him all he could. His mother ran a small shop in the docks selling all manner of herbs and remedies. After he grew up he kissed his mother goodbye and went to find out all he could about his father and the sea.
He was signed by a merchant ship as a deckhand and learned all he could about sailing. After a year on the ship they were set upon by pirates, he did what he could to save the ship even killing many pirates with his rapier. In the end the ship was lost. The captain of the pirate ship was irate that one boy had killed so many of his men and wanted to make an example of him. He asked the boy his name so he might know it before he killed the boy. When Drak told the captain his name fear and respect flashed in the captains eyes, he said that it made sense then and had him join his ship. Relieved and a little confused he welcomed the challenge. Later he found out that the captain had once served a Captain Roberts, who some called the Dread Pirate, rumor was that the Dread Pirate still roamed the seas taking all he could.
As a year passed and Drak moved steadily up the ranks to a minor officer. Some of the other officers feared and were jealous of this' so they planned to be rid of him. They dared not kill him in case the captain found out and had them killed. So after a very profitable trip (raid) off shore, Drak and some of his fellows went drinking, when they slipped something in his drink. They left him at a tavern in Port Perril knowing when the ship sailed at dawn he wouldnt be on it.

This is where Drak would begin the adventure. As other adventurers arrived he would start awake and run out of the tavern, only to return shortly after when he see's his ship had left.

3 The trait would be Buccaneer's Blood due to his back story. If you have any other questions GM please let me know.


I submit Dow Petali, Varisian bard.

1. What position do you see yourself eventually in on a ship? Depends on how it plays out and what the others want. Surgeon or another support roll. Something where he can rationalize away anything that bothers his conscience.
2. How do you feel about piracy in general? (This includes stealing, killing, plundering, etc.) Dow is a reluctant pirate. HIs family weren't angels, but they were basically honest and scorned the Varisian criminal element. Dow views pirates as Scarnzi of the ocean. But a man's got to survive ....
3. Which campaign trait are you selecting and why? Ship's surgeon. It's a roll that has kept Dow from committing terrible violence and let's him make friends.


As for the interview questions:

1. What position do you see yourself eventually in on a ship?

First Mate or Quartermaster. Allie likes to influence (read: manipulate), but doesn't want to be front and center while she's doing it. Quartermaster would appeal to her because she would get to peruse the plunder and do the (creative) accounting.

2. How do you feel about piracy in general? (This includes stealing, killing, plundering, etc.)

Allie's a pickpocket and con artist by trade; stealing is what she lives for. She'll kill a man in a fair fight...or if she thinks he's going to start a fair fight...or for money... ;-) As for plundering the high seas, she's grown up on the streets of a pirate port. She's heard lots of stories, and the idea of ship to ship battle sounds exciting, but being in the middle of a battle sounds a lot more dangerous than she's used to, and crewing a ship sounds like a lot of work, and not much fun.

3. Which campaign trait are you selecting and why?

Ilzamagorti (sp?) Native: She's a local street urchin all grown up. She's not a pirate, but she knows the lingo, and little about the reputations of some of the more famous Free Captains, and their exploits.

Backstory: "ARGGGGGHH!! What IS THAT SMELL?" Is what usually uttered when Argghh arrives. This dwarf often goes in just pants and battered boots which shows off his sweaty form , bald pate and crudely cut beard. Most dwarves would consider him insane and perhaps they would not be incorrect about that. Arrgghh has lived near his entire life on ships or by the shore and is known to be a dependable if stinky shiphand. Argh(Or Augy to some) often shows up to sign onto a ship and when a suitable port is found, rolls off to spend time in town or other places until the next ship comes in. His magical skills have ensured his acceptance onto ships with minimal buckets of water dousing him in order to wash the smell off of him.

1. What position do you see yourself eventually in on a ship?
Aggh will be willing to dabble a bit in everything. He doesn't like the thought of being captain, so a kind of 'magical consultant' where he provides magical support is most attractive to him
2. How do you feel about piracy in general? (This includes stealing, killing, plundering, etc.)
Agghh has little problem stealing from other ships, acts of brutality such as rape, killing for fun and so on offends him and he will be willing to end the perpetrators of such when he has a chance.
3. Which campaign trait are you selecting and why?
Touch of the sea. Agghh is a rather deviant dwarf who loves the feel of a deck under his feet and the scent of the ocean rather than living in a mountain and has felt this way since he could walk.


I have 2 characters that have both been in Skull and Shackles attempts. Between both of them they have been in 4 failed PBP. They have never made it to the island which should not be named.

I had a couple questions:

Would you prefer the catfolk slayer whose backstory is either a delusion eerily similar to the island of Peter Pan

or

A former Taldan naval officer based on a certain space cowboy- shiny.

This officer, he wouldn't have a fondness for brown coats, now would he?

:)


For your viewing pleasure, I submit Ajani Ihejirika, a Vanara Druid. I know that the race is on the Uncommon list and not one of the two you said were automatically ok; I was hoping you might be willing to make an exception in the case of Ajani. If not, that's fine. In a previous campaign I ran him as an Aquatic Druid but I can't decide if I want to go with that again or change him to a Storm Druid at present.

To answer your primary three questions:

1. What position do you see yourself eventually in on a ship?

Ajani would be best suited in a position where his (eventual) abilities to control weather would be used to maximum effect. In the meantime, being in a class that has a Climb speed and a Swim speed makes him very versatile in terms of mobility. Working in the rigging or in the crow's nest would likely suit him very well because of that.

2. How do you feel about piracy in general? (This includes stealing, killing, plundering, etc.)

Ajani's inspiration to piracy was the "noble pirate" sort of man and Ajani aspires to be similar to Captain Saladeen. Maybe this is an odd reference to make considering the nature of the character and the fact that I didn't have this in mind at all when I made him, but his view of piracy can be seen as similar to Luffy from One Piece, especially with regard to how Red-Haired Shanks has influenced his view of what a pirate should be. He has no qualms against stealing and plundering, per say, but would prefer it be someone who through their deeds has shown they deserve to be plundered from. He is opposed to indiscriminate killing but, as a Druid, he also knows the circle of life and is not opposed to sending someone back to the waves they emerged from should it prove necessary.

3. Which campaign trait are you selecting and why?

I am selecting Besmara's Blessing. It could easily be Touched by the Sea given the character's history, but I felt that choosing Besmara's Blessing would be a better indicator of how Ajani's path has been touched by the goddess, even when he had no idea who she was. There is, perhaps, some grander destiny in place for them than he realizes, the circumstances of his life having always called him to the ocean waves for good or for ill.

I plan to come back tomorrow and answer more of your background questions. If there is any more specific information you'd like please let me know. Thank you for your consideration!


Hey Ajani! Long time no see.

Sovereign Court

Super dotting :)

What is her skin color? Pale with light freckles. 

What is her hair color? Strawberry blonde. 

What is her hair style? Just below shoulder length. 

What is your eye color? Hazel-green

Does she have any scars, tattoos, or birthmarks? 
No.
What is her handedness (left/right)? Ambidextrous 

Does she resemble some currently known person? Pre-trainwreck Lindsay Lohan, or Hayden Panatiere.

What did her parents and/or foster parents do for a living? She doesn’t know.

Do she have any great rational or irrational fears or phobias? Being caught and painfully executed. 

What, if anything, would it take for her to be able to overcome this? Being in a situation where being caught and executed would be impossible. Some sort of immunity or pardon, perhaps?

Is she willing to discuss, or even admit to, the situation? Yes, if it comes up in conversation with someone who know she is a thief.
What is her attitudes regarding material wealth? She likes money, and what it can buy. She tends to spend it almost as fast as she steals it, though. 

Does she have any unusual or nervous mannerisms, such as when talking, thinking, 
afraid, under stress, or when embarrassed? She pretends to be dumber than she actually is. This is not a mannerism, but a strategy to mislead people as to her true nature and intentions.
What is her most treasured possession? Her life. It’s the only one she has. 

Does she have a good luck charm? She tends to think of her body/figure as her good luck charm, as it always seems to bring her money.

@Odentin Would I be allowed to use Dervish Dance with a cutlass, since it's mechanically identical to a scimitar, and matches the pirate flavor better? Sure sounds good
@Viluki Is 3rd party on the table pending inspection?
Yup let me know what you want and I will check it out first before approve of it or not
@Game Master Scotty Before I go too in depth, I have played in the path and own it. Is that a problem for you? I can separate my player knowledge from my character knowledge, but some find it uncomfortable. If that is the case it is understandable and perfectly alright.
That doesn't bother me, I assume that ALL players can keep their knowledge separate

@Gnomezrule Would you prefer the catfolk slayer whose backstory is either a delusion eerily similar to the island of Peter Pan

or

A former Taldan naval officer based on a certain space cowboy- shiny.
hmm.. You choose one and I will go with what you choose. I would perfer that my people are playing what they like to play within the rules of course

Submitting this character, an Elven Investigator. Full crunch in the profile.

Questions:

1. What position do you see yourself eventually in on a ship?
A scholar position, but it is not a common one among most ships. Most likely the quartermaster. I would also be a serviceable lookout or navigator but such a position would quickly bore me.

2. How do you feel about piracy in general? (This includes stealing, killing, plundering, etc.)
I am indifferent to it unless it directly affects me. It is simply a fact of life. I would prefer not to commit it myself without reason, but I would not hesitate to do it if the situation requires.

3. Which campaign trait are you selecting and why?
Touched by the Sea. It is related to Cai's heritage as an aquatic elf as well as the fact that he has lived in a pirate town most his life and has never left it. This is why he has now decided see more of the world, which is a common elven maturation convention.

Introduction Questions

Do you have any nicknames, street names, titles, or aliases?
Simply call me Cai. I have overheard gossip of me being referred to as 'Seawolf', in reference to my apparently cold demeanor and fierce bartering. Do not call me that.

What is your full birth name?
Caimor Bleddyn.

Where do you live?
Bloodcove.

Why do you live there?
My parents live there and it was there I was born and raised. I have not known anything else as of yet, which is why I seek to broaden my horizons.

What is your citizenship status?
Native. My parents tell me the blood of aquatic elves who lived in this area runs through both my family lines. I cannot confirm this.

What is your most obvious blessing or strength?
My intelligence.

What is your most obvious flaw or weakness?
I am told it is my emotional detachment.

Was there any event or cause to cause these weaknesses?
I simply do not understand why emotions must get in the way of reason when dealing with situations.

Physical Traits

What is your general body type, frame, bone structure, and poise?
Graceful and slender.

What is your skin colour?
Pale.

What is your hair colour?
Amber.

What is your hair style?
Loose ponytail.

Do you have any facial hair?
Generally not.

What is your eye colour?
Light turquoise.

Does it change?
Why would it? No.

How attractive are you?
Reasonably attractive. I am frequently told I would look better if I were to take care of my appearance instead of only doing the necessary for hygiene.

What is your most distinguishing feature?
I am told it is my eyes, but overhear that it's far more likely to be my unkempt appearance.

Do you have any scars, tattoos, or birthmarks?
A few scarcely-visible scars on my arms and hands, but nothing of note.

What is your handedness (left/right)?
Right-handed, but I am cross-dominant and prefer select tasks for my left.

Do you resemble some currently known person?
My relatives. Otherwise, no.

Do you wear a uniform?
No.

What kind of clothing do you wear?
Functional and preferably comfortable ones.

History

Where is your homeland?
Bloodcove is located on the Fever Sea. It borders the Mwangi Expanse and the Shackles.

Did you have any childhood friends?
I have some who may consider me that, yes. Most of them are dead owing to my longer lifespan.

What conflicts might arise from your past?
Possibly someone may come after me because of my parents. Possibly pirates I've traded with who were displeased with my service. Otherwise, I do not recall anything that may create any conflict of note.

Do you have any sort of criminal record?
No. A criminal record in Bloodcove requires you to catch the attention of the authorities. That would be unwise.

Family

Who were your parents?
Sioned Pryderi and Madoc Bleddyn.

What did your parents and/or foster parents do for a living?
My mother was an artisan and scholar while my father was a trader.

Are they still alive?
Yes.

Personality/Beliefs

Do you, or did you, have any role models?
I am told that I adored by mother when I was young, as children often do.

Do you have any great rational or irrational fears or phobias?
It is rational to fear helplessness.

What, if anything, would it take for you to be able to overcome this?
A solution.

How do you react when this fear manifests itself?
Attempt to overcome it. If it cannot be overcome, then it will be ignored.

Are you willing to discuss, or even admit to, the situation?
Yes, but that would be a rare situation.

What are your attitudes regarding material wealth?
It is useful.

Do you have any unusual or nervous mannerisms, such as when talking, thinking, afraid, under stress, or when embarrassed?
I follow prescribed etiquette when the situation demands, but otherwise I ignore it.

What is your most treasured possession?
My knowledge.

Do you have a good luck charm?
No.

Describe your worst nightmares.
Imagine that you are a drop of ocean water suspended in open space. You know you are part of the ocean but you do not know what the ocean is. This makes you anxious. Below and around you is the abyss and you cannot look away from its terrible depth. You try to move but cannot and the entire abyss shudders from your attempt. It causes something in you, a great fear. You do not understand what happened. You are merely a drop yet the entire abyss responds. The abyss is the ocean but you do not understand the ocean. You are a drop and yet the ocean moves against you. The ocean becomes you. There is no boundary between you and the abyss.


these guys are who I am after... Looking for an arcane trickster that begins at level 1 basically.

Whoops. That's what I get for not giving a more thorough once-over of the character sheet before turning it in. Yes, I'll reset him to level one as soon as I get home from work and have access to HeroLab. Sorry about that!

@Viluki these guys are who I am after... Looking for an arcane trickster that begins at level 1 basically.
I have looked them over, I am not thrilled about the summoner one but the others would be fine if you want to throw together something, I will look over the character

Please all if you know someone who wants to play give show them this I want to get all the way thru.


GM Krunthi would you accept a Skinwalker?


Is there still room, and would we be spending much time at sea?


@Brass Legionary: GM Krunthi would you accept a Skinwalker?
If there was a link to look at I would check it out

@Nohwear: Is there still room, and would we be spending much time at sea?
Recruitment is not over yet, it ends 10/7/14 3am CST it will end, Will we spending some time at sea, that all depends on the Captain of the ship.

If you make it, I guess we all know who will end up in the crow's nest first. :)

@Nohwear Any chance of allowing an Aegis? http://www.d20pfsrd.com/psionics-unleashed/classes/aegis

Okay so I forgot to mention Psionics are off limits, Sorry.

At this time I think that I am going to have to say no on this as well, but please feel free to submit something else

@Everyone
Okay so I forgot NO PSIONICS at all. I am seeing some Very Good submissions though.
