Hi there. I'm recruiting for two open spots for a new PbP built around a slightly modified version of Feast of Ravenmoor. I'm currently playing in several PbP's here on the boards and have decided to try my hand at running a game. There are currently four players signed up for this game, they are all running or playing in active games with me. The party consists of a half-orc two-handed weapon melee fighter, a life oracle, an archery ranger and a menhir savant druid. I am looking for character submissions that complement the current party makeup and/or fill in the missing pieces.
Character creation guidelines are as follows:
- 25 point buy
- characters start at 3rd level
- 2 traits
- average wealth by level (3,000 gp) in gear, characters should begin play with roughly 10gp or less in available funds
- the following classes are not available for play in this game: gunslinger, ninja, summoner, or any build that focuses on controlling/creating undead.
- any non-evil alignment, but please be a grownup if you're hoping to play CN. Disruption for its own sake isn't fun for me.
- core races are fine, exotic races will be approved on a case by case basis, custom races are not available
- subject to the restrictions above, if it's in a Paizo book it's fair game. 3pp materials are not likely to be approved, but hey, it doesn't hurt to ask.
- please complete your character in a dedicated alias including a backstory not to exceed 750 words.
I personally don't use herolabs, but their format is very easy to read , so I would appreciate it if you can emulate that format.
Aside from that, please give us all the basics of your character, fluff and crunch and we can figure out how you guys know each other. Right now I'm envisioning somewhat established adventurers who may or may not have worked together in the past. You're down to your last few coins, and may have a reason to get out of Magnimar quickly.
Recruitment will close at 9:00 am CST on Monday, November 19th, with gameplay to begin on Monday, November 26th. Please let me know if you have any questions, I look forward to seeing your characters.
I'm also interested, and a dedicated poster. Any chance a dwarven qinggong monk could help this group out? Starting the next level he could get some nice powers..!
The alias is here, but I'd need to rework it. Just want an idea of if he'd work at all before I start diving into the crunchwork!
Hey its Hawkwen, thinking of offering this character. Would have to raise his level, probably pick up a magic user level maybe.

Ah i take it back. I have already submitted to be in like 6 campaigns. Granted i know at least two of them i have no chance in and the others could vary greatly. I just don't want to end up being in more than two campaigns. But i honestly think i will only get accepted for one at max. Just feel bad submitting to every recruitment that comes along.
Olsson, I'll be happy to read your submission.
Loup, I checked out the dwarf alias in your profile. I'm assuming that's the one you're talking about. Looks interesting.
Ebonnard, go ahead and submit if you like. No such thing as too much PbP.
Lanfearon, I'd be very interested to hear how a four-armed person came to be and how they manage to get by in a place like Magnimar.
Hawkwen, add your magic user level and we'll go from there.

OK. You have convinced me. I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE rpgs. and even if i do end up in multiple games posting is as easy as texting to me due to the fact i cant post from my phone. And thats when im not behind my computer which is practically never.
Dotting!
Olsson, I'll be happy to read your submission.I'm guessing you mean me?
You got it. Once again, autocorrect has made a mockery of my words.
Hit-dices rules? (full, half. half+1, roll, etc)

Hit points are max for first level. Additional levels are roll or half +1, your choice. So if you have a d10 for hit dice you get 10+con, 5+con, 6+con for your first three levels if you opt for half +1 method. If you decide to roll for second level and go half+1 for third, you would get 5+con for third level and 6+1 for the next level you chose to roll, alternating between the two accordingly.
Is this campaign still open?
Right I have not played a dwarf ever so this time I am going to offer one up if I may.
Think dwarf Doctor/Cleric
Doctor Edmond 'Angus' MacRollings
Born to a wealthy Family, well educated and keen to help the sick and beat them to health.
Alt in its way GM.
Please consider including Dimitrio Carini, rogue, in your game.
APPEARANCE
Dimitrio is sexy (and he knows it). The rogue has long black hair, a goatee, and a mustache. He wears golden loop earings and a large gold necklace and medallion. His shirt is open to show off his hairy chest and he wears loose pantaloons with leather boots. A couple of colorful sashes and an embroidered vest with lots of gold adornments complete his casual outfit.
BACKGROUND
Dimitrio was one of the main attractions of the traveling Varisian Troupe of entertainers. His dancing mesmerized audiences and attracted lots of attention from the opposite sex (OK, he also attracted attention from the same sex but Dimitrio doesn’t like to talk about that). An archetypical band of scroundels, the troupe would hold the attention of an audience while others fleeced them. So it was a win-win situation for the Varisians as they gained money from their performance and also augmented it with their petty thievery.
Everything was going well for Dimitrio until the daughter of their leader, Petre Carini, came of age and started looking at the young dancer. Warned by his brothers to ’leave that one alone’, Dimitrio could not help himself. When news of his fleeting romance reached Petre, the dancer was expelled and told not to come back on pain of death. Saddened by the whole ordeal, Dimitrio pushed his luck by ’taking’ a parting gift before he left; he stole Petre’s magic shortsword.
Dimitrio quickly forgot about the young girl but the troupe has not forgotten about him. On the run and constantly looking over his shoulder, the young dancer tries to make money with the odd performance, supplementing his income with easy targets. He had briefly settled in Magnimar but news that the Carini Troupe is coming to town has the rogue looking for a excuse to leave—quickly.
PERSONALITY
Dimitrio is a charmer and vain about his looks and dancing. He is very greedy and likes to hoard jewelry and such. He is very superstitious and sees omens everywhere. He is a skilled performer and likes to take the non-violent way out of situations when possible. Gambling goes with the territory and Dimitrio is an addict, sometimes betting his jewelry and clothes of his back (literally).
Dimitrio's picture
You can find the crunch part of Dimitrio in the alias. I think I met all your requirements with the exception of the formatting (Herolabs). Although I think you should have no trouble finding things, I promise to take my time and format as desired should Dimitrio be selected for the game.
As for me, I am currently playing in two PbPs (check aliases) and easily post more than once per day, including weekends. I am also hosting (Dming) a PBEM found here.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Happy gaming.
Great submissions so far! I can already tell that I'm going to have a hard time choosing. Alzar, recruitment will remain open until the 19th of November. Please see original post for more details. For everyone else, your character has the best chance of being chosen for this game if it follows the guidelines set out in the first post, so please pay special attention to that.

Hi DM completed Lanfearon. 2 alchemist/1 inquisitor.
Lanfearon was born to an alchemist in a relatively unknown village. Her father Randel Lannister a human married her mother Ristil Austil an elf. Due to his love for Aluria, he decided to leave the city so as to spare her future society discrimination due to her mixed heritage. Aluria shows great promise and potential in alchemy as he father taught her the mysteries of chemicals. Her father told her that he is on a verge of a huge alchemy discovery that can help enhance the quality of many disabled lives.One night on a full moon, a certain resident of the village is rumored to be possessed. It was not known what happened but after the resident was warded in the local hospital chaos took place on the next full moon. Soon the chaos was on the streets as demons burst into Aluria's living room and started attacking Ristil's household. Alarmed, Ristil reminded of Aluria's breath mastery training and beckon her to enter into a state of death. Crying, Aluria controlled her emotions as she began to slowly cutoff her breath as her vision faded. The demons killed the entire village and proceeded to run into the wild sparing the only survivor of the village whom they thought was dead.When Lanfearon awoke, the carnage was terrible. A certain demon hunter sent from the Church of Iomedae came to the village and took her back to the church. Lanfearon took the remnants of her father's belongings including his journal containing his research.At the church, Lanfearon continued to delve in her studies determine to find out more about these demons. She completed her father's research and decided that she will try it on herself. After 20 years of training and preparation, Lanfearon took the scrolls from the High Priest mandating her to rid the world of demons. She was named Demonbane. She heard of an expedition formed to find out what happened to the tax collector. Sounds like work of demons she thought as she volunteered.
poke...i mean dotting :)

Variel Staffel Spellweave
This Human Magus was raised in one of the finest Arcane Schools learning from the best. However in a backlash at his parents he began skipping class and would go to a monastery and learn with the monks. He began early on to favor Quarterstaff and ultimately that was his only weapon of choice. However his parents eventually found out about this and he was made to go to the arcane school. He continued to learn Quarterstaff on his own and learned how to cast while still wielding his weapon of choice. This ultimately led to a Magus as opposed to the Wizard his parents tried to make him. But as he trained with his staff and spells the two began to blend together and the two in combat would become indistinguishable to him. He eventually ran away from home due to his continued arcane schooling. He began to use his skills for money. Becoming a bouncer and hired muscle. Eventually when he got the skill he went off to find adventure in this big world.
He can be rude at times and uptight(do to the environment he grew up in). But in the end the monks taught him love and compassion so he tries to be nice when he can and knows when he is mean. He may come of as NE but on the inside he is NG. And when the time calls for it you will know which side he stands on.

Edit: i changed up his inventory so he has less than 10gp and gave him a backstory. And also a personality.
GM Spugly here, and here is my alt,
Doctor Edmond 'Angus' MacRollin
"Ya see laddy there is the kindly Doctor and der is the fixing doctor, I'm the fixing kind, now hold still wile I cut this gan-green leg off"
Hes a grumpy Dwarf medic/cleric with a soft old dog called 'Get Lost'
Still doing odd bits but he is 90% there
"Arrk! if ye nee be dyen then get ye sen up lad and fightin, drink this and try en keep it down as it stinks arfull of ya brins it back up."
Here's Loup's submission, Korinil Ironfist! A hardy dwarf monk, who currently specializes in close-quarters combat, and will soon enough be able to get some nice magical abilities.
Crunchwork is done with updating him to 3rd level and all, though I have yet to spend the gold... Also need to write some new fluff for his backstory, since he was built for a Carrion Crown AP.
Dotting for interest.
Camris here, this is my entry.
Some of you have taken it upon yourselves to PM me with questions and requests for feedback. I applaud your initiative, but would like everyone to be on a level playing field. So, if you would like any feedback on your character, please send me a PM by Wednesday, November 14th and I will do my best to reply in a timely fashion.
I'm Fine GM, with all things here and open, I always find the PM back door leads to Met-super half races walking in with mad feats and 3pp stuff dripping off them if a GM dos not keep an eye on whats being built. In the open other players can post things broken and make a call. In two games now where GM alone had to spot check PCs stuff slipped past, (Im a GM as well and know you just can not cross check every thing) that has doomed games, one players is just rolling over us with his bespoke Eidolons of doom, we may as well not be in the game. Cool thing is as you have banned the most misused classes gunslinger, ninja, summoner, (I may do that myself in my next games its a good idea) I have every faith in your skills at keeping the Nuttiness at bay hehe. :)
Rolling for health
Nice on the eight at least... XD Any chance I can take the average with that one?
GM Spuglyfuglet here,
As a dedicated healer has been posted, I would like to offer up in place of Doctor Edmond 'Angus' MacRollin, The Alt
Aylya Lafina, An Ice elf, Summoner (Synthesist L3)
Dotting, will rework an Alias
Upps wrong game ME bad Aylyas off then GM Ill work on another
Here's a Magus submission. Will have background this afternoon.
Looking at the characters currently in the group, what this party needs is some sneak!
Here is Morin Tidelock, a nimble halfling rogue skill monkey - salt water runs in his veins, and he's had a streak of bad luck longer than an ogre's...somethin'. But he's hopeful things will turn around soon.
Crunch and fluff are all complete, equipment mostly done but mundane stuff will need touching up once details of campaign are clear. I re-skinned a trait slightly to mesh with his maritime background - can undo if you don't like it.
Thanks for looking.
And here is Filios, Elven Rogue.
Even more great submissions! For my own ease of reference, here are the currently completed submissions:
Bintos Needlegrouse - Human, female Cleric (Irori) 1/Monk 2 - Oladon
Dimitrio Carini - Human, male Rogue 3 - Fabian Benavente
Lanfearon Lannister - Half Elf, female Alchemist 2/Inquisitor (Sin Eater) 1 - DM Heterocephalus
Dr. Edmond 'Angus' MacRollin - Dwarf, male Cleric (Pharasma) 3 - Spugley_fuglet
Korinil Ironfist - Dwarf, male Monk (Qinggong) 3 - Loup Blanc needs updated background
Idril Ssethan - Human, female Bard (Dervish Dancer) 3 - Camris
Variel Spellweave - Elf, male Magus (Staff Magus) 3 - Ebonnard Raloon
Karozekas Gostern - Elf, male Magus 3 - Agricola
Morin Tidelock - Halfling, male Rogue 3 - Khelreddin
If I missed your character, please let me know and I will add it to the list.
Filios adjusted appropriately. Sorry, it had been awhile since he was submitted as a PC. I also changed the build to a Swashbuckler based upon revised stats. Thanks for the consideration. You have some difficult choices.
@ Bintos:
Are ya sure you're all the way human? Yer not much taller than me, and I'm not the tallest halfling aboard! I wager ye've got some smallfolk blood in yer history somewhere. Though it's a rare human indeed who doesn't ken when he's mating one of my kind."
@Morin:
"Ha! I'm as human as they come; who's to say you're "pure" smallfolk, eh? 'sides, I lived with dwarves for a while..."
Well to late now to Change it so I bee sticking with da dwarf
"Arrk the lass is just the right size for me, I like em tall"
All right guys, based on the strength of the current submissions I'm going to shorten the recruitment period. This Friday, November 16th at 5pm Central time will be the new cutoff. So if you have a character that you've yet to submit, please do so before then. I will post my choices and two alternates sometime before 5pm on Monday the 19th. Good luck to all. Today is also the last day to request character feedback from me.
"An' gud ears she's got ta boot, Mas'r Dwarf..."
Bintos suddenly darts forward, grinning, and gives the dwarf's beard a playful tug, before capering back out of reach.
All right guys, based on the strength of the current submissions I'm going to shorten the recruitment period. This Friday, November 16th at 5pm Central time will be the new cutoff.
"Fine, pick on the halfling. Can wee fit in a few more? It’s the very height of insult! I had hoped you’d be bigger than that.”
"Ah well, guess I started it..."
"Are you picking a fight with the Narrator?"
