Hi, I have a couple of campaigns needing replacement characters. Rather than run through an extended recruitment process, and having enough campaigns that this is an ongoing issue, I thought it easier to open a thread here. PM me if interested.
The campaigns are:
- Iron Gods, one slot, L1. Still on book 1. Current characters are: barbarian, bloodrager, shaman, summoner. Two players have disappeared, I'm botting their characters till the next replacement opportunity; I have a player joining as a gunslinger. Recruitment thread is here.
- PFS Core campaign, one slot, L1. Campaign has just started (it's surprisingly and distressingly common on these boards that players disappear straight after being selected for a campaign). Characters should be at 0-1 XP, they'll run one scenario behind the rest and at some point if necessary we will sync everyone by running on a slow XP track. Recruitment thread is here.
For non-PFS, new players will join at the same XP as current players, and join the campaign at the first opportunity they can be written into the story.
For PFS, new players will join with the next scenario (which will be Mists of Mwangi).
In both cases, check out the recruitment thread's first post. The expectation is that players will post at least daily, and post more than a one liner when they do so - I don't need a back-story at this point but please point out where you are or have already been in a campaign.
If we can sort something out it's likely to be pretty much first come first served, but if you don't make it and another slot comes up here or somewhere else I may well contact you - I tend to offer places to people on existing campaigns before opening up more generally.
Otherwise I'll update this thread if other slots fall open.
Thanks - as I said, PM me if interested.
PM sent for Iron Gods =)
Me too! (Rhanloi's character...)
Rhanloi/Kayla - great. I'll reach out on PM. You need to fix up the character for IG and work up a backstory.
Everyone - please assume the Iron Gods slot is closed for now.
Saiman/Elsbeth - as I said on PM, I'm looking for someone with more of a posting record on these forums. I do generally look to take at least one very new person when starting a campaign but it's too risky when replacing players, in my opinion.
So the PFS Core slot is still open.
Count me in for the CORE campaign. I'll get a character rolled up.
You can see what I post like if you look at recent posts by Quiella, Eoswulf, Freodwen--all characters in ongoing PFS campaigns.
Only potential issue is that I am playing Mists of Mwangi already in CORE. I am fine playing it for no credit though.
OK everyone, please assume the Core one is closed now also.
Thanks.
Just want to chime in to say this was a pretty cool way to get replacements.
Hi, I'm now looking for 4 replacements for a Crypt of the Everflame/Price of Immortality game that has gone inactive. I'm looking to revive it with a mostly new party. One of the original players will stay.
The original recruitment thread is here ... and gameplay is here.
Reason the campaign petered out was that a couple of the core players disappeared from the boards and the remaining ones generally didn't post enough to maintain the momentum of the campaign.
I'll relax (some of) the original restriction on classes (because I don't think the new party will have the same background), so will consider anything except: Occult, Ultimate Intrigue, the oriental classes (ninja, samurai, etc). I currently have a ranger (from the original campaign) and a magus (a player from one of my others).
On races, I'd still prefer core.
I need players who are willing to post at least once a day (so would look at posting histories).
Finally, I'd very much prefer if you weren't also GM'ing the module on a different thread at the same time (something that came up with one of the players in the original campaign), or for that matter playing it.
The campaign will start about half way through the crypt module; the intention is to carry on through the sequel modules and thence beyond if everyone is enjoying themselves.
PM me if interested. It's generally first come, first serve rather than a competitive recruitment. I'll re-kick off the campaign when I have the requisite number of players.
As a footnote, I have a separate Mutants and Masterminds (conventional) recruitment going on here, post there if interested.
Would it be an issue that I have played the first module before?
Would you be giving PFS credit?

To the former, it depends on whether you can put it far enough behind you. The player I had who was involved at another table was basically trapped trying to avoid spoiling the current game, so the posting became fairly sparse and if a decision came up he would stand back. So if you've played it and forgotten much of the detail, I would say it's OK; if you remember it pretty well, it probably won't work.
To the latter, no.
Should add - for the CotE campaign it is still at L1 - new characters will sync at the same XP as the existing one - around 1000 as I remember.
I finished it a couple of weeks ago. I don't think it's an issue though--good role play is about asking yourself "what would this character do in this scenario given what *they* know." When you play that way it matters a lot less what you know as a player.
If that's okay with you, I'll see if I can come up with a character.
And I hope you reconsider offering PFS credit, for the first module at least.

I definitely won't be offering PFS for this - I've made too many changes for it to be legitimate, I think.
Are gunslingers allowed? And if so, what level of guns?
Shady PM'd you with a character for everflame game
Are gunslingers allowed? And if so, what level of guns?
Yes, emerging guns.
Here is the updated and correct Goldi stats.. in profile (with picture)
I currently have 4 players for the CotE/Price of Immortality campaign - still looking for 2 more, PM me if interested.
Since you're opening this up to non-Core classes, and the new party will be coming in mid-way through, what's the adventure hook? Presumably no longer the mentors in town?
Basically the old party has been ambushed by the roaming undead that now haunt the crypt; one is still trapped there and one has managed to escape - though badly wounded. The fate of the others is unknown. A new party will be travelling through the forest and come upon the wounded survivor, and (hopefully!) elect to investigate. I may create an NPC member of the new party who will stay behind to tend the survivor.
We'll have to do a little set up on how the new party got together and got there, but it won't have come from Kassen. So no requirement for mentors and we can remove the restriction on core classes.
I already made goldi from Kassen and with a mentor though
@Goldi - answered in the campaign's discussion thread.
1 further slot taken so 1 still open.
I am still considering a submission. Probably Cleric, maybe Paladin. Maybe arcane caster.
Putting a Dwarven Unchained Barbarian Invulnerable Rager together. If that sounds okay with you please consider the last slot filled.

Hi, best to PM me to discuss, per the original request.

My apologies, I forgot.
OK - recruitment is indeed closed. Thanks to everyone who contacted me. For those who are newer players, I promise to try and find something lower risk if it comes up, so please don't despair.
I now have a slot on a Dragon's Demand campaign. The characters are L1, and have completed the first dungeon crawl of the module. The leaving character is a half-orc monk.
Recruitment thread is here. The various recruitment prereqs still apply.
Gameplay is here.
Remaining players are: bard, druid, sorcerer, cleric, barbarian
The posting rate is pretty brisk, so please be up for posting at least daily. There's also the opportunity to pull the character in fairly quickly (once I work a way of doing it smoothly).
I could take a newer player on this if the character worked.
PM me if interested.
And the slot's now taken. Thanks.
I have another slot in my Iron Gods campaign.
The original recruitment thread is here.
Basic expectations as per that thread. You'll need a regular posting record. The party have just about completed the first "dungeon" crawl and are about to return to the surface. It may yet be a week or so in real time before they get back, but it seems to about the right time to kick off recruitment.
Class: Current party make up is barbarian, bloodrager, rogue, shaman, summoner, gunslinger. The shaman is leaving. Probably some combination of healing + damage would be useful.
Race/backstory: Two of the original party disappeared completely from the boards shortly after the start of the campaign (this is the bane of my GM'ing life). A third just left due to RL workload. These three included the two androids in the group. So probably an android with a good Numerian backstory would be ideal.
One thing on Iron Gods and as a reminder ... the idea of the campaign is that PCs who think they live in a fantasy world turn out to live in a science fantasy world ... so having too technical a background doesn't work.
Anyhow, if you fit the prereqs it's first come first served - PM me if interested (rather than post on here).
Bumping.
Bumping again for the Iron Gods slot. I have had a couple of people contact me but in general for these replacements I would be looking for someone with a good posting history. I try to take a couple of new players in any new campaign but when finding replacements it's difficult - in terms of the impact on other players - to have someone drop out a second time in succession.
And the slot's now taken, thanks.
I'm currently running an interest check for a Midgard campaign. Please post there if indeed interested.
I also have one slot for a PFS Core campaign. The party is still at level 1, and is just starting Act 3 of the current scenario, so this could still be a few weeks. The next scenario will be Mists of Mwangi. There are actually 2 slots but one has been taken. The players who dropped out were Barbarian and Fighter classes. PM me if interested. Dropouts in PFS are a nightmare (and the other players suffer as a result) so people with good posting histories, please.
I'm new but I want to play a druid in Mists of Mwangi
I've been wanting to try my hands at doing a PFS game. Are you doing credit or not for the CORE game? I'm fine with not getting credit, as I'm not sure how that would work in a PBP game.

Credits do work, you get credit for the scenario as if it were a normal session; just register the character on here as PFS when you make it. Yes it is for credit. Send me a PM if interested.

Hi, per my previous post, I wouldn't be taking new players for this one - the pain of having people drop out is too great on PFS PbP.
I think we now have the PFS Core slot covered.
Shady I am dotting here, let me know if you ever have room for a Soceity character that isn't core

Hi, still figuring out PFS to be honest. My original intention was to run a parallel non-core campaign, but this one has been a bit brutal - two early drop-outs (usual tiresome behaviour as you start a campaign, go through a recruitment process and then some of the selections disappear on pretty much day 1) and then figuring out how that works in PFS has been a nightmare. So we're still finishing the first scenario.
I also think PFS massively stifles GM creativity and encourages players to minimise RP (which for me is also very negative). But I'm going to stick with it for now in the hope it improves.

You're right about the first part-- in PFS, you as a GM are much more restricted as far as what you can throw at players. As for the second, I don't think it encourages minimal RP so much as ties your hands regarding minimal-RP players. In a non-PFS game, you have the freedom to say "You aren't roleplaying enough, maybe you should find a different group." I don't think you can in PFS. But there are plenty of people on the boards who do lots of roleplaying; don't give up!
Incidentally, with all those dropouts does that mean you've got room for one more in your Core game? :-)

Er no, but see the next post.
I have room for one replacement in my Dragons Demand game. The group has completed the first dungeon foray and has had an extended wander round the town of Belhaim, which they're just completing. They're still at L1.
One of the players has had to drop out for RL personal reasons.
The slot is for a melee character (the drop out is a Barbarian). This is a good RP group and I'd like to see posting history. Players should expect to be posting 2-3 sentence posts, maybe once a day.
PM me if interested.
(to be clear, this is not a PFS game)
I've recently run a recruitment for a set of linked Midgard campaigns. As is all too frequent on here, post recruitment a couple of players dropped out/disappeared. There are 3 tables, so 18 slots in all of which 2 are available.
The recruitment thread is here. The first post includes most of the restrictions. Given there are now established parties (although we haven't yet started) the restrictions may be a bit tighter, in terms of what classes/races are available. So please PM me if interested.
General expectation is that you post substantively (more than a one liner) at least once a day.
Hope to get the various campaigns started by the end of this month.
Update: I think one of the Midgard slots might now be taken.
Update: other Midgard slot taken.
