<p><i>As you head down toward the wharves, you see many people working to repair the damage caused by the tidal wave. Shop fronts that suffered minor waterlogging or no damage are doing what they can to undercut their competitors and make a profit, noticeably more so when it comes to the shops that provide materials and tools for rebuilding. The closer you get to the wharves, the greater the damage is. Building owners and shopkeepers are busily hammering away, replacing boards, windows, and doors, or arguing with workers who are trying to do the same. The street scavengers are out in force, grabbing every loose item they can. The bold ones are chancing their luck on stealing from the shops themselves. As you reach the wharves, the scene intensifies. Sailors and carpenters and all manner of workers swarm everywhere, working to recover cargo and to repair damaged ships and docks.

Unfortunately, as I mentioned when you first applied, I'm not ready to handle Psionics. I honestly don't like Psionics in 3.xE or 4E, either. Too complicated to mix Psionics and Magic and Mundane for me. I know my limits. As far as Suny, I respect the character. Unfortunately, the party isn't looking for another Fighter and Aquatic characters are slightly unbalanced against normal ones. The next time I run a 3.xE campaign, though, I'll take another look at both of your characters. My apologies.</p>
<p>Thetis and Gorbaz, I like the looks of both of your characters. I think we can make both of you fit. If you could finish spec-ing your characters in the next day, we'll be able to work you in shortly after that.</p>

I'm running a Serpent's Skull PBP here, and we've had one character drop out due to RL concerns. We're still early on in the AP, so we'd be able to work in a character at first level. The current party make-up includes Fighter, Oracle, Rogue, Sorcerer, all Human. If somebody is willing to put together a character for this AP and can commit to at least check the thread once every day, perhaps two, we'll see about working you in.</p>
<p>By popular request, we're looking for something with a bit of a Divine flavor. Cleric, perhaps, possibly Druid or Ranger. Priority goes to those who build something within that general idea, then first-come-first-served. For those wishing to apply, please put together <i>at least</i> a general idea of character background (can be fleshed out later) and an idea of the build at 1st level (if not a prepared character page).</p>
<p>If you are preparing a character page, I prefer that you format your information to cover at least all the bases of the basic stat blocks. <a href="http://paizo.com/people/EklektosApofysi" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Here</a> is a sample of how I tend to format my character blocks for PBP.</p>
<p>I suspect this will be opening will be inside the next 8 hours, based on what I've seen of previous PBP recruitments. I wish you all luck, and I look forward to seeing your submissions.</p>Hello, there. I'm running a Serpent's Skull PBP here, and we've had one character drop out due to RL concerns.
