Oh, I neglected to mention something rather important:

I enjoy playing evil characters, though it is by no means a requirement for me to be interested or involved in a campaign. Evil as in intelligently evil, not some caricature of a being, and I do believe that I can play certain types of evil characters and get along perfectly well (well, maybe not perfectly, as without some small conflicts of interest arising one may as well just play a good alignment) with a largely good group.

Something I would find delightful, for example, is a Drow-centric campaign set in the Underdark.


The original thread I started to, er, advertise that I'm looking for a game in sort of turned into a horror-themed Pathfinder campaign discussion, as multiple people noted their own interest in getting involved in a game, which I wasn't really looking for.

So, in order not to confuse things further by asking other DMs to look into a thread that largely has served as a starting off point for another game by now, I'm starting a new one. I hope that's not unreasonable, but if it is, I'll gladly remove this post.

I'm on these boards in particular for the first time, and haven't played here before. I have played various PbP games as well as Pathfinder, however, just no Pathfinder PbP campaign. To make things short, I'm looking to change that.

I'm particularly interested in Kingmaker at the moment, though I'd be up for almost any Pathfinder game (except, as noted above, horror - I get plenty of that in the various VtM games I'm involved in).

My preference goes to social characters as well as swashbuckling ones, though I'm also not opposed to other concepts and if any particular role needs filling I could probably think of a good concept around it. Evil characters are a guilty pleasure for me. If at all viable, I'd also be interested in trying out the current Magus beta for a character.

I'm a little peculiar about prefering games in which the participants have a good grasp of English (not using 'your' when it should be 'you're', etc), which may ironically be because ... it's not my first language. I'm a native German speaker living in Vienna, Austria. My timezone is GMT+1, meaning I'm basically an hour ahead of the British folk.


Yes, another one of these.

The main thing to know about myself is that I'm now 26 and have been playing roleplaying games basically since I was 12, so I've about 14 years of gaming behind me. I'm not new to PbP, though I am new to these boards and have yet to actually try a D&D game with use of the proper rules on such a platform. I'd like to change that and would be glad to be part of a Pathfinder Chronicle. I'd love to try out some of the published games such as Kingmaker (that one in particular, for the economical and political potential; not sure how much there is of that in reality, but I've heard good things from a friend), but I'm also interested in any ST-designed campaigns, of course.

After looking into the newest Beta-Magus writeup, I'm pretty interested in trying this class, though I could probably come up with a decent character for pretty much any game that needs a specific role filled. Hell, I'd even try my hand at one of those super-complicated Summoners if the game sounds interesting enough. I have a penchant for the swashbuckling, more finesse-using type and/or social type, though. I'll play any of the classic alignment ranges, though being Evil is a guilty pleasure I'll gladly admit to. (Now, I'm not talking Stupid Evil here, and I do believe with a little guile an evil character can fit perfectly well into an otherwise Good group.)

All in all, I prefer roleplaying over pure combat and dungeon-crawling, but I'm not averse to the letter as long as it doesn't turn into number crunching only and there's still plenty of character interaction to be had.

Now, I'm not trying to sound arrogant here or anything, but I do prefer games in which most participants have a good grasp of English and aren't prone to writing 'your' instead of 'you're' and such. I myself am not a native speaker (living in Vienna, Austria; my native tongue is thus German), but maybe that's the reason why I'm a little peculiar about that.

Oh, and probably also relevant is that, as I'm living in Austria and all, my timetable runs on GMT+1. I'm basically one hour ahead of the British folk.

So, to put a final word to it: I'm looking forward to any responses and would love to participate in your Pathfinder games.
