If you could have patience with a new player (both Pathfinder and PbP (I assume)), I would love to join. I have RPG experience from many moons ago, but I am anxious to join a game and have some fun (and learn about the system and PbP). Thanks!
Definitely interested. I can post daily and am very familiar with Pathfinder.
One of my all time favorites was "The night below." A 2E boxed campaign.

Well, my group hasn't done much underground. Most of the AP's seem to avoid it. However 'Serpent skull' has a large underground city set below Saventh-Yhi, the fabled lost city found by the Pathfinders society, and the main setting for SS.
While adventuring there our party met a Drow assassin, who made a temporary alliance with us. Telling us the stairs in the under city lead to the Darklands, where she was from.
She was hunting escaped Drow traitors, allied with the Serpent folk we were fighting. It was a very tense and mistrusting alliance.
So, a known entrance to the Darklands, in an area controlled by the Pathfinders does sound like a good starting point. Hired by the Pathfinders to make an expedition into the dangerous world below?
Or perhaps just adventurers doing what they do best and charging in blindly in search of loot. ;)

Maybe so. Are you proposing play by post? Here on paizo?Yeah it would be Play By Post here on the Paizo forums.
What do you think the creation rules would be like, point buy or something like that?It would definitely be point buy and you'd have 20 points to spend. Full hitpoints to start with and 200gp to spend for stuff.

Thanks!I'm not exactly the most experienced DM with the Pathfinder system but I've got plenty of patience and a can do attitude so you would be more than welcome to join. Your welcome!
Game posts would be once every two days, probably twice a week plus once in the weekend if I'm not busy. I never played the Night Below but it looks awesome!
The setting will be Golarion. I'm just looking for a place to set the starting point. Suggestions?
Cool - if it's OK I roll up a vanilla dwarf fighter (core rules?), I will.
I've been GMing on here for the past few years and would love to join in on this game and also give advice for the PbP formatting stuff.
I would be interested in making an Undead Lord Cleric, a Summoner or an Alchemist... got to narrow it down though.

I would like to dot in to play a druid. I would be taking archetypes/alt racial traits to focus on the underground nature of the campaign. I will most likely build this as a dwarf, though may take a look at the other old-school underground races (drow, duergar, svirfneblin) to see if that creates a more interesting build. If I choose one of those, I will definitely play as a good character (escape from bondage situation, or something like that).
I'd love to join in if you'll have me!
I am flexible on character concept since I have plenty and can fill in a needed niche if necessary. Although with this many, hopefully we are pretty well covered. If so, I have been itching to give the Occult Adventures classes a try and see how they play.
My top choices (both likely dwarven) are:
- an earth-focused kineticist (going for the earthbender concept from Avatar, which was obviously much of the inspiration for this class) or
- a shadow caller spiritualist, cursed with a living shadow but learning to make use of that curse (basically not a spiritualist by choice, but running with it and starting to appreciate the power it gives him)
But like I said, I can easily fill in any other gaps. I also like skill-focused characters (rogue being obvious choice, but there's some other nice ones like investigator, too) if necessary.
I'll sit down tomorrow and work on an alchemist.
Under the test box, there is a little format tool. How to format your text. that is majorly useful.
I would forgot the D20 for maps, since some people use their phones for PbP and have a hard time using it on their phones. I use Google Slides to bypass that issue. You can also make notes that your players can't see.
My attempt at a character concept (feel free to criticize or give pointers):
Varkas Davarum, at your service!
Varkas is a Dwarven miner from Highhelm who has set on adventure hearing the call to liberate Dammerhall. A fighter now, Varkas is young, inexperienced, and brash, but he yearns to learn the arts of combat while seeing the world. There is also vengeance driving Varkas on this journey, one steeped in pain from a tragedy that befell him and his loved ones when he was a small child. Varkas is skilled with his battleaxe and warhammer, and he also fancies himself a novice armorer. With seasoning and some luck, Varkas hopes to bring honor to himself and all fellow dwarves.
Okay, I was looking at Alchemists, thinking of what to create... when i remembered that i've already created one that never got selected. This is Louisiana Jane and her flying squirrel Data.
This rugged explorer joins the group and looks around. "Nice to meet ya. Call me Jane."
Kenderkin here!
So here is a rough sketch of my nearly human looking half-orc redeemer paladin, discovered as an abandoned babe and raised and trained by dwarves, accepted and knighted by Abadar fully committed to bringing law to the dark world below...
That almost human trait is useful.
I'm having a helluva time finding out if I can have a language in addition to Dwarven and Common. My INT is +1, and I have no ranks in Linguistics.
Varkas checking in now, with alias and avatar! (I can't seem to find a good blackhaired, young dwarf lol)

I had to do some research on this as well, I was able to find it here that you get a number of languages equal to your Init modifier. So if you have an Int of 12, you get 3 languages, your base 2+1, if you have an int of 20, you get 7, Base 2+5.

Thank you - I reread the Intelligence description, and it's clear as a bell.
Found another pair of entrances that lead to the Darklands.
The Candlestone caverns in Andorian, and Hollow mountain in Varisia. Trouble is both are major dungeons, getting through them would be tough, let alone reaching the Darklands!

Pavo loves exploring places that haven't been seen by anyone before.
He plans to dip into Ranger for a few levels but is mainly the go to guy for sneaking and traps.
I can deal with any setting, but I'm sure there will be major holes in my backstory, but oh well...I'll get better at this as I learn the lore.
I found this http://paizo.com/people/Thiera (which is derived from this https://gist.github.com/anonymous/027b5a46b3b4c2df6f4b ). I found it helpful, as a new guy, to building my PbP online character sheet.
The Darklands are an unknown wherever we start, so Arcadia is fine by me.
Pavo is from Cheliax and I believe they have a colony there, which gives him a reason to be in Arcadia looking for work.
Here is an example of Google Slide maps as you can see in my game Quest for Perfection i have it up on the small description along side of each characters Initiative rolls (in a spoiler) so i can quickly grab them and roll for the players. In games which rely on perception checks, I've also put their perception up there so i can roll it as well.
The way i currently have Louisiana Jone's profile set up is somewhat extreme, but i can easily look back and tell when i bought something and how much it was.
Can someone take a look at my profile and tell me if it contains enough information and if it's in a suitable format, please?
