Here's an entirely homebrewed campaign where YOU, as adventurers, decide the course of action. A scenario will be put forth, and you'll go from there. This is really based largely on backstories (mandatory) and character alignments. The more descriptive the backstories, the more open the campaign! Sure there will be some things not based on them, but a good amount of it will be to get the game rolling.
How do you want to do hp after first level?
Can you explain a little more about
- the world, map regions or anything?
- how are we playing? pbp? something else?
- if pbp, what are your posting expectations

It is PBP. I check multiple times a day, but expect everyone to do it at least once a day. Preferably twice.
The world is around 85-90% land, with many little rivers dotting the main continent. Villages are plentiful, but mostly small. Trees and forests line the usually well marked roads and trading routes. The fishing/port village of Selsey is a popular destination, but it's inhabitants aren't really the social type.
A small village resided in haunted woods, but few returned after the last group of "heroes" to head in where never heard from again. This borders Selsey on one side, and it is generally avoided by everyone now.
The continent's main city, Solsun, (off limits to everyone who doesn't stay there currently) is undergoing a self-induced period of reconstruction after a falling-out split it into a North and South district place.
That's a pretty general description, so if you have additional questions I will try to answer them as well as I can.
I am already playing in one of your other games, would it be ok to join this one as well? If the answer is yes I have an idea for a samurai.
i would play, not sure what class to play though :)
TY Connor, but I think this is too many PPD for me. GL

Actually, can I throw this paladin into the mix? Adjusting for your specifications and leveling to two won't be rough and I would have went rogue, but you already have one. Backstory would remain effectively the same, Paladin Code would remain the same. All that fun stuff. Only stats and equipment will change.
Plus, worst case scenario, I'd be playing this character in two different PBPs.
this sounds interesting and besides if the lady Victoria is here it must be something worthwhile.
are there openings?
Hmmm seems we are already getting a martial character, maybe I'll go with something more supportive or arcane to keep the group balanced.
I would be interested in this game. Would you be averse to my using the Expanded Spell-less Ranger?
I have a background I came up with a while back that is good for homebrew settings and would love to use it. It is oriented on a gunslinger class but that is easily changed if I make him a ranger.
I sent you a PM with additional details.
Are you full?
i'll be withdrawing my interest I have enough games right now. just picked up 2 that I have been after for a while.
so I guess that may free a slot for Jules there.
Looks like rogue, ranger, gunslinger, paladin, and arcane or support...I would be willing to do the opposite of what Wolfgang chooses. Either a wizard or a cleric.
Do you have deities in your campaign?
I'll be going with sorcerer, his crunch is mostly done, then I'll write down his back-story and I'll be ready to go.
Sounds good. I'll do a support character then.
Would you allow evangelist cleric archetype?
I would, but I'm not sure who is actually set on doing this yet.
Throwing Ingrid into the mix. Dual weapon miner/caver/ranger Dwarven female with a horribly burned face. Going for a troll slayer (giants down!)
Here is the sorcerer I talked about, his back-story is incomplete but I'll hopefully remedy that soon.
I am waiting to see what is needed.
Don't you want more backstory or details? What are Dwarves like? Generic, or anything special you can tell me?
Here is Mathurin Kerbouchard, a half-elf spell-less ranger.
Let me know what you think Conner.
Ingrid has been updated to level 2. I plan to use the Deep Walker Archtype, which doesn't kick in until level 3.
If you want to add in more it's fine, but that looks like a good minimum, Ingrid.
Grand Moff Vixen: The amount of backstory you have is crazy. And I thought I did a lot wit my characters! That's great.
:)
So, am I good to go?
Ingrid is a Dwarf miner by trade, who has spent much of her early years learning the secrets of her people, namely metallurgy, mining engineering, gemology, and geology. As an experienced miner and caver, she is at home in the dark deep places of the earth.
She is also a master of two weapon fighting, clutching her family’s heirloom War axe in one hand, and a small hatchet with a bone handle in the other. Her skills were learned and perfected during a stint as a guard on an underground trade caravan. At range, she will resort to a crossbow, but at smaller distances, she simply throws her hatchet at opponents. She is capable of stealth, and tends to shun large weapons, or bulky armor. As a female, she is less bulky than the males of her kind, and slips through the shadows with an easy grace. Unlike most rangers, she does not consider nature her home, except the caverns and caves of the earth. She cares little for druids, farmers, and other ‘fur lovers’.
Ingrid was terribly injured in a mining explosion, and her face, as well as her hands was seriously burned. She was lucky to keep her vision, but she lost all her hair, and her right ear due to infection. A large red scar covers her forehead and crown of her skull. She always wears gloves, as her hands are a mess of red and white scars. The injuries have damaged her vocal cords, giving her a gruff, almost male voice. She normally wears a red scarf over her mouth, with a black hood, to cover up the worst of her scars. She prefers deep cleavage, and customizes her armor to extenuate her bosom, as her breasts and neck escaped injury during the blast. Ingrid would be an attractive woman, had she not been so terribly disfigured.
The explosion was a last ditch effort to destroy a cave troll, which has taken up residence in a mine, and was threatening the miners. The group attacked, but the troll tore through the miners like paper, and as an extreme measure, Ingrid threw a lantern at it. The coal dust in the air, simply exploded, burning the troll to a crisp, the other injured miners, and scarring Ingrid. After the injury, she spent several months in bed, receiving medical care. Since then, she left her hometown, and ventured out into the world, beyond her Dwarven Home. She still hears the screams of her companions, roasting alive, on lonely nights.
Perhaps due to her injury, She is disdainful and jealous of beautiful women, seeing them as “simply selling their pretty face, and making men do all the work”, but has a good heart. She dislikes seeing the disabled mocked or cheated, and has a soft spot for children. However, due to her scars, children are often afraid of her. She is not particularly religious, and tends to dwell on the present. She is fond of high quality alcohol, music, and she like short, muscular, bald men, and dreams of marrying a paladin with a white horse, but would never say this aloud.
She has a particular hatred for trolls, and will attack them on sight. This couped with her races historic dislike of giants, has given her the nick name “Troll Slayer” although she hasn’t been too successful at it. With the right party of adventurers, perhaps she could thin the numbers of this deadly menace…
Although a miner, she has a keen interest in the gem cutters art, and collects fine jewelry. She is particularly fond of lapis lazuli, and prefers silver and platinum to gold. She does not wear jewelry except on special occasions, keeping it safely stored on her person, usually in a leather pouch.
Other personality quirks include a profound hatred of fruit, a fondness for pigs (she thinks piglets are cute), and a strong distaste for prostitutes.
Is there still spot in this one, it sure looks interesting, I've been looking for PC oriented game for a while on multiple pbp sites as I usually enjoy creation of complex characters. Also if yes, since aasimars are allowed, what about LN tiefling?
