Tiny's post caught my eye and I'm potentially interested in taking on this challenge. First..a little about me.</p>
<p>I used to be very active on these boards and life beat me down quite a bit. In response I pulled out entirely for a couple years. Recently, I've come back, though at a much more manageable pace. Currently, I have 1 active game I'm playing in online and that is all.</p>
<p>My offline world tends to be busy as I am a 911 dispatcher and EMT. My wife and I are also working on repairing an old building with the hopes of opening a coffee shop/bakery in my home town. I also have a special needs 3 year old daughter that has me wrapped around her tiny fingers.</p>
<p>Me as a GM:
<br />
I am well versed in 1e and have run hell's rebels for my regular group that meets in person. I started running it online before I stepped away but failed to complete it at that time. I am a big fan of this AP. On PbP, I historically requested a minimum of 1 post per weekday and 1 post over the weekend. </p>
<p>If I were to take this on, I would only be agreeing to finish book 1. After book 1s completion, I would be willing to consider going onward if the group was interested and if I felt I could maintain the schedule.</p>
<p>What type of posting pace are you guys looking for in the game? Feel free to ask me anything. </p>
<p>I truly hope your post brings in more than 1 potential GM for you to consider.</p>Hello all. Tiny's post caught my eye and I'm potentially interested in taking on this challenge. First..a little about me.

<p><b>"Scion Lord Kerkis of House Damaq; Lord Exchequer of the Absalom Mint with Chesele!"</b></p>
<p>He is a thin, wiry Keleshite in his early fifties with a neatly trimmed beard and bushy eyebrows. He wears an expensive, Keleshite-styled, loose-fitting silk robe, a jewel-covered silk vest, and a gold-bladed ceremonial scimitar at his belt.</p>

<p><b>"Lady Darchana of House Madinani; Second Spell Lord of Absalom; Archdean of the Arcanamirium and Absalom Grand Council Member!"</b></p>
<p>A cold, pale beauty with piercing gray eyes and long blue-black hair stands in the doorway alone. She wears solid midnight-blue wizard's robes and a dazzling mithral tiara studded with rubies, emeralds, and sapphires. She appears unarmed.</p>
<p><b>"Grand Ambassador Dremdhet Salhar with Lady Anilah!"</b></p>
