That's a lot of face cracking melee.

I thought I posted this earlier but forgot to hit send .

Anyhow I am gonna withdraw my name here and let one of the other guys have a go

Hm, I'm afraid that it looks like I have to give some bad news then.

With seeker pulling his name out and no new entries in, it looks like we don't even have enough folks to build a full team so I am going to be calling this game. The backgrounds I received were great and I was really excited to get things rolling, but I suppose a few things worked against me; the fact it was a module and not an AP, the background requirement, and the low level. When initial interest came so quickly, I hadn't realized total interest would be so low.

So thank you to those of you who built a character and got started with things, I'm sorry that the game didn't quite pan out. If I put together an idea that has more traction and interest, I'd be happy to have any of you involved.

Thanks,

-Tarlane

sorry I pulled to give room for other players.

I have a few ideals on why the low interest. Ya have over 50 posts in here so many folks will think your full. I pulled as I thought it would open up space form some new players. I didnt mean to nail the game by pulling that was not the effect I was going for as you seemed to have more folks wanting in then ya had spots

Tarlane if you still want to run this I would be interested in getting involved. As a character concept (rough will be happy to provide a more detailed description and background).

My intent was to play a local teen, a jack of all trades who has picked up his various skills from members of the community, a bit of storytelling here, some magic there, a mischievous yet good-intending youth. A bard initially, perhaps a bit more later.

Anyway let me know if you want to try and keep it alive, and I can give you the full write up.

I also noticed in my Second Darkness pbp planning threads that at the beginning, you can find tons of people interested, but as Shadow pointed out, the longer the thread gets, the more I think people assume that the pbp is pretty much full. I've had a hard time getting back ahold of some of the alternates in that game when other people dropped out, so I don't think its just your game. I think its just how many initial people jump and and if they get the chance to make up their characters in the same timeframe as everyone else.

It seems strange, but even a few days after the initial post, I think you almost need to make a new post like "X Campaign, Still Seeking Players" or something like that.

Anyway, I had fun making up the character, so if it turns out nothing came of it, it doesn't bother me any.

Shucks, and I was about to submit an application for a dwarf cleric of Torag this evening. If you decide that you still want to take a couple of character applications and start this up, I would be happy to post a character.

Best Regards!

It would be awesome to keep this alive, I have been looking forward to playing Velios.

Bandar didn't spent all those years hitting rock with his bare hands just for nothing. If the game gets back up he is ready.

It looks like it took me getting disheartened about it for the interest blossom. I really was looking forward to running the game, and it sounds like a number of you are really interested as well so we can proceed. It just had looked like I was putting a bit too much on such a low level game.

If you two want to put in the idea of the jack of all trades character and the cleric you had mentioned above, I wouldn't even be adverse to expanding the party size a bit to include everyone so we could still have a balanced party and I can include those who have been around and waiting for me to try and gather a few other people. Hopefully I'll hear from those others at some point today and we'll be able to get things going.

I'm glad to have heard from you all and to have found out you all are looking forward to this as well.

Sweet guys, Thanks!

Thindar is happy to still be prowling around.

Alright, I just put up a discussion thread and put up a post that is in character but takes place the day before the actual adventure begins. We can talk OOCly there, but I figure this will be a good way for you all to get to know each other(though your characters likely know each other, being from the same small town) and to get to know the other townsfolk as well.

Kassen Discussion

I would be interested in Joining if you still have room. If not I would be happy to be considered for a list of alternatives (If your doing that that is)

Oh my

Tarlane i'm still very interested, i'm afraid that weekends tend to get busy for me occasionally though and that's the reason i haven't posted again.

Furthermore, the character is essentially done, And i'd love to play this. So if you have any further suggestions as to what exactly you're looking for i'd be happy to adjust =]

Kevin,

What is your idea for a character? We have a few more people who are looking like they are going to put some ideas in, but id love it if you threw your hat in the ring too. Let me know what you were thinkng to play and whatever ideas you may have for a backstory.

Well I was thinking maybe a halfling monk background would be she is a student of the local one. Although I do notice you already have a monk as a character so if you would like me to come up with something else just let me know.

16 years ago a warlord and his horde tryed to take back the worldwound... it failed. As the namless warlord shamble to a outpost. He handed a child to a novice solaerd. "He holds..." Those where his last words. The novic wasn't a soldard he was a pladin. This pla. thought about what the warlord said. He figure no one would want a child from the worldwound. As he carried the child back to town a new family moved in. This family seem like it could handle a child from the worldwound. So the pal. tould them the story and before he could finshn the father exceped the child.

here is the expanded story.

Here's a bit of the background for the character I had in mind.

If you think this would fit with the party and adventure, I can have the character put together by tomorrow night.

Thanks for your consideration.

Best Regards!

Hey Tarlane, Deserach here. This is the character I would like to play in your game. All background and bio information is in the profile, so I will not re list it here. Let me know if you have any questions, I built it on the 20 points and everything is from the core book and the traits pdf.

Once I hear back from you I will post in your discussion thread.

Here is the Monk character. Admittedly it was made for another persons game but that one died out pretty quickly and I was still hoping to get a bit more out of the character (If you would prefer I did one from scratch let me know)

As for background I was thinking of maybe making her the origonal or just another student of the Monk teacher and she and Bandar could have been rivals (That is if Bandar doesn't mind)

Ok, it looks like we have now officially flooded and filled up since my last posting. This is a rather good thing though, I think, as with the attrition that PbP's have on players it will be nice to have a bit of padding. I can strengthen up the encounters to make sure that things are still nicely challening.

When I saw the rush of submissions start yesterday, I had actually meant to cut things off at 7, but if Bandar is interested to have the competition of another fellow student, I think that could add a nice bit to the RP and so I think I can handle having all 8. With that in mind, the team should be those below.

KEJR - Thindar - Half-orc Ranger
CHP - Velios - Half-Elf Fighter
Seeker - Hanathan - Human Paladin
Catman - Deilen - Human Sorceror
Kaspar - Bandar - Dwarven Monk
Max - Drosk - Dwarven Cleric
Deserach - Beilin - Human Bard
Kevin - Naria - Halfling Monk

You'll need to be a little careful with not having a rogue, but you do have a handful of skilled or agile characters and so I think you will be able to do alright.

Please, everyone feel free to start to pose on the discussion thread and I'll get some posts in here for the newcomers to try and give them closer connections to different townsfolk.

Will do I'm just waiting to see if Bandar's player is fine with my character suggestion

You know i hate to be a bother but i was certainly looking forward to playing Manduzi and it appears that you currently only have 4 players in the Kassen Village Thread.

I guess what i'm sayin is what i've been saying all along, i'm still very much available to this game if you'll have me.

Memento, I'm glad to see your eagerness to be in the game and your character is looking pretty good.

I am still waiting to hear back from three of the characters who haven't posted since at least Sunday. Let me give them until tonight before I start looking at swapping in you. If I haven't heard from all three of them by tomorrow morning, you can slide in one of the spots and I'm sure a rogue will be a welcome addition to the party.

Hopefully we haven't lost anyone before we have started though and people have just gotten a bit busy and so haven't gotten introductory posts up yet.

The characters I have not yet heard from are:

Hanathan
Drosk
Deilen

So i'd gladly fill this spot, and would love to get in on the pre-game roleplaying

That could be, he is in one of my other PbPs as well, though he had indicated in that one that he would be posting on that tonight.

It does sound like Seeker isn't too sure about keeping up with it though, so I have a feeling that you will be able to slide in. Between that and a couple of the others who have been quiet for a bit then I don't think it will be a problem if you go ahead and post over on the discussion thread to get yourself started.

If everyone does come back and jump in, then worse case scenario is just that we just have a -really- big party, but since I was already planning on adjusting for a large party, that won't be that much of a problem. I think that as long as you maintain a quick pace still, having more players tends to work to your advantage in a PbP.

Agreed, what with attrition and all. I've been reading along so i'll post an introduction soon =]

Welcome aboard MM!
