Hello, everyone
I've been hoping to run a game like this for awhile now, but I need some great players that are willing to come along for the ride.
I'm looking for at least four new players at this time, but I can take a few more if there is enough interest.
The game will take place in my home-brewed world. I've run multiple games in this world over the years, and it has become one of my favorite and most detailed worlds I've made. It began as a place to run a sky pirate themed game, but it has evolved into something more adventurous without losing any of those original pirate elements.
I'm hoping to run a mostly story focused game, but one where combat and action are still extremely important. For that goal, I'm looking for some great characters that really fit well into the world. Ones that are interesting and have a bunch of plot hooks I can exploit.
I haven't completely nailed down playing hours, but it will be a 4 hour weekly game on Saturday or Sunday, in the evening PST. We'll nail this down based off what works best for the players.
We'll be using mostly Pathfinder rules, but there is room for some 3.5 or anything else you can talk me into. It will be taking place over Maptools and we'll be using a VOIP to talk to each other. (I prefer Axon, but Ventrillo or Skype could work.)
Another important detail is we'll be removing the alignment system from the game. I've never liked it and felt that it forced characters to be pigeon holed instead of allowing them to have unique motivations. The way the system is removed is outline in the houserules section in my Player's Guide below. I think that it was removed in the least destructive way possible, but I'll let you be the judge of that.
My custom world of Aaven is outlined in the following thread here:

Prospective players will also need the game's Player's Guide here:

All the information in the campaign thread is also in the Player's Guide, along with some important details needed for the campaign. I recommend you download the word document. You can also view it in-browser, but some of the formatting doesn't translate well.
I understand this is a lot to read, but it's everything an educated person living in the universe would know. If you want to play someone less educated or you just want to be surprised, then feel free to only read the portions relevant to your character; however, you will need to read the introduction and the houserule sections in their entirety. I would also recommend you read enough about the pantheon to choose a deity.
In my experience, I've noticed successful roleplaying games are just as dependent on the players as the GM.
With that in mind, I need players who aren't jerks to the DM or to other players. Players who are pro-active and don't require being led by the nose. Players who will roleplay their characters and not meta-game. Players who understand that the system isn't there to be manipulated and that the game itself is what matters, and players who don't rely on rolling well to have fun.
If this sounds like something you'd like to be involved with, please shoot me an email at affoote@gmail.com, and we will take from there. I'll also be checking this thread and my PMs for the near future, but email is the best way to contact me.

Please consider putting the doc in google docs and sharing it from there. I won't download anything that requires me to download and use an executable before I can get the file.
Hmm. It's not that way to me, and others have been able to get it fine, but that's not important.
I actually tried google docs first, but it messed up the formatting too much. I think you can download the base word doc from google instead, so it's not too bad.
