Congrats guys. It is going to take some time. I ordered the first and second parts of the ap. I have not received them yet from the mail. Also, I have to wait for my friends responses. Feel free to discuss.
This the list of things that I want to keep maintaining.
1. Respect and Compassion: As a DM I must respect my players and take care of my players. Hopefully, Our respect and compassion will be a reciprocal relationship.
2. Enjoyment: I must make sure that everyone is enjoying themselves. Seriously guys, I am truly humbled by you guys taking your time to be in this campaign. Time is extremely valuable and limited. We only have so much time in our lives. I must make it worth your time.
3. Advocate: I will hear your questions and concerns to the best of my abilities. I will answer your questions. I will represent each one of you and help you guys out.
4. Story/Writing: I will fill my words with detail and decent grammar. I will make the best effort to make you guys care about the story.
5. Being Humble: I will accept criticism positively and work with you guys to constantly improve my DMing.
6. Risk Taking: I am going to take risks to give players unique and different play experiences. I will know the rules to break them properly.
7. Balancing: Keep the experience challenging, but not make the encounters broken.
8. Player Improvement/Learning: As a dm I seek for my players to truly benefit in this experience. D&D is an art form that has alot of insight. I will challenge you guys to take the next level as players in your writing and roleplaying.
9. Consistency: I will be consistently posting daily to move the campaign along. (Unless something makes me super super busy or an emergency.)
10. Determination: I will be determined and never give up on the players. I will seek constant improvement. There is always something I could do better.
We are really working together. We are working together to create a strong narrative. I am not seeking to win, but I am seeking you to learn and be happy through this campaign.
Thank you for the invite.
I submit Tanna Elenvathar for critique before I finalize the build. Everyone is welcome to offer feedback.
Yuelthea reporting in. The link in the recruitment thread still does not seem to work.
Tanna looks fine to me.
As for Yuelthea, it appears I forgot the bonus feat so I added Weapon Focus, seeing I'll need that later.
Nel Sandhal reporting in. Thank you for the invite! Here's to a wonderful adventure!
Tamina checking in, can't wait!
I am one of the players that DM Evastor reserved a spot for. I am excited to begin. I will be joining as a whip-wielding bartender Tiefling Kensai Magus. I look forward to playing with you all!

Woohoo!
Soo, what's going to happen from here?
I'd love to know as well.
Clevr , do you have any idea who the other player the DM is bringing is and what he/she will be playing?
As for your whipping Tiefling, is it by chance a follower of Calistria?
I do know who the other player is. I know both DM Evastor and the other player out of game. I will poke both of them outside to get them to say something. The other player is (as far as I know) deciding between a: dwarf fighter or a half-elf ranger (a re-envisioned past character). I am currently working on the tiefling and will have an alias up soon. Indeed my tiefling worships Calistria. We also might be waiting for DM Evastor to recieve the adventure paths by mail before we begin.
Hey everyone, I am the other player that DM Evastor had reserved a spot for. I will be playing a half-elf ranger revised from an older campaign, and I should be done with his profile by today. Sorry for making you wait, and I look forward to taking part in this campaign with all of you.
That's a fun archetype, basically just free options at the cost of nothing.
Fallen, what kind of Ranger will you be?
It's looking like we have a group of (Half) Elves and a Tiefling. Looks fun.
Fallen, what kind of Ranger will you be?
The Ranger I will play will be one very similar to that of the original. I had a lot of fun with it, but his time was cut short when the campaign was ended. I thought it would be even more fun to bring him back as the group is all of Elven type for the most part.
As for what kind of Ranger, if your asking like what combat style he will follow, it will mainly be archery. ClevrGamer was in the same campaign as I was when playing with the Ranger and he and I would joke about how effective it was in combat with a composite longbow.

I like the party composition. It's going to be a blast. :)

I have received the adventure paths recently. Need a little bit of time to look them over.
Soo, what's going to happen from here?
Good question! :)
Alright, I am going to have a deadline for my first post. It will be on Wednesday , July 16th. In the afternoon. I will post once a day.
Gives them time to crank out some characters and some time for me to prep up.

That longbow traveled to crit city often.

We can turn it into a competition then, as Yuelthea also is an archer.

That would be fun. We can see who has more notches on their bow by the end. haha

I look forward to the first post.
As for the rest of us, do we want to develop any ties to anyone before the game starts? Flesh out a relationship or two? Just a thought.
I look forward to the first post as well. I think that it will be interesting to see how the our party interacts.
As for the rest of us, do we want to develop any ties to anyone before the game starts? Flesh out a relationship or two? Just a thought.
For starters I'd say that all the Elves that come from Mierani Forest and Half Elves with ties to it should probably at least know each other by name and face.
Same goes for the Tiefling, if he is from Elven stock and from that area.

Really depends on what you guys want. Would you guys like to pair up?
I could see Alraniel and Tanna meeting at a bookstore. Knowing each other through their shared interest in knowledge.
I could see Yuelthea and Seph (Fallen Fame's character) meeting at a archery competition. Maybe a bit of competition remains even when the archery competition is over. :)
As it stands at the start of this adventure, Nel does not like elves. She feels that her father, whom she has never met, abandoned her mother and does not want anything to do with her. As such, Nel has turned her back on elvish society and tries to blend in with humans as much as possible, to varying degrees of success.
Part of the character development I have planned for her is learning to accept her elvish heritage while still staying true to herself.
Introducing Apollyon Adramelech! I am currently working on his alias, you are free to take a look. (This is the tiefling magus). BTW, he is not a human based tiefling, he is part elf (cause we don't have enough pointy ears already). Feel free to ask questions, I am also open to critique.

Since I am going to bed I will look over it tomorrow while I have downtime at work.

The crunch looks solid, though the background is light. I recommending fleshing it out.
I did a double take when I saw so many traits. Once I examined the build in greater detail I discovered that everything seems to be in order. Looking good!
DM Evastor, shall we get started? It is the 16th now. I am looking forward to playing!
The more I think abut it, the more I want to pair you guys up. Here it goes.
Alraniel and Tamina: It was a meet by chance, but perhaps by Alraniel's interest in Tamina's intelligent creations or Tamina's interest in Alraniel's belief to protect knowledge .
Apollyon and Tanna: Maybe Tanna has read of Tieflings in her day, but what a sight to behold. He is rather articulate besides being a monstrosity. Perhaps Apollyon is friendly with Tanna because of her well read mind. She is already a guest at the Gold Goblin. That might be a way in for employment.
Yeulthea and Seph: It is not known from me if the archery competition had gone good or bad. But somehow they got stuck together afterward. Perhaps by Yueltha considering Seph a lost child and Seph by her skill in archery itself.
This does not have to be exactly how each you meet. But, this is the pairs that I am going with.
The crunch looks solid, though the background is light. I recommending fleshing it out.
I had it more eloquently written out and fleshed out but when I pressed save changes it didn't save. I plan on fleshing it out more, but I wrote that down just so there would be something there for you guys.
DM Evastor is currently a little tied up at the moment but he has told me that he will make the first post when he gets back from some errands.
First post is on the gameplay thread. Thanks for your patience guys. :) Also, I put the cast on the campaign page.
Sorry for taking so long in posting. Paizo wasn't working properly for me yesterday and earlier today, but it should be good now.
Sorry I haven't been posting much. The weekend is my time to get major errands done and I had a lot to do. Things have been slow for me at work so I will use that time to get up to speed.

Don't worry about it. I tend to use the weekend to visit friends who live out of town, so things that can be accessed via internet tend to be inaccessible to me during the weekend too.
So it seems like we are just waiting on Tamina to make her first post.

And finish her character....
So sorry everyone...I'd completely forgotten about this. There's no updates under my campaigns (I guess you have to post in gameplay to get them?). Anyway, I'll do my best to get everything done ASAP, if it takes too long (it might, I'm in nursing school), feel free to drop me.

Yeah, you have to post in the gameplay forum for it to show up. (Sometimes paizo's forums are not as user friendly as they need to be).
If you post something in the gameplay thread and then delete it, it still becomes an active campaign for you. :)

Thanks for the update. I am really excited to have you join.
All done! Sorry again, and thank you all for your patience.
Hey Guys, I have some really really really bad news. I am going through a rough patch in my life. I can't really go into detail, but the reasoning is legitimate.
What I can go into detail about is the medium that we play in. I realized that this medium has become largely unsatisfying for me.There are certainty advantages: more detail, more characterization, and a different way of storytelling. But, I like seeing someone roll the dice. Seeing the laughter, the panic, and the excitement. It cannot be beat. I feel like this computer screen is too much of a wall to probably experience that kind of fun. Certainly, time is less of an issue in some circumstances, but game time is much slower. There are a large amount of games that are left unfinished.I would rather not go farther and do a disservice to you guys.
I am calling quits through this medium. I apologize for starting something and not being there to finish it. Especially when it is early game. It is important that I do this. I am glad to have the opportunity to play with you guys. This was a valuable learning experience.
I am going to put this campaign as inactive.
That's unfortunate. Are you sure you don't just want to hand it off to someone else? Like one of us?
I'd do it, but I don't have the literature...
Well that sucks
I can understand where you're coming from but it still sucks
Best of luck with whatever is plaguing you.
EDIT: Whereas I have the literature but am a horrible GM
Is there any way you could send me a copy? Or would that be too morally/legally questionable? I'd buy it, but I'm kinda short on funds at present.
I propose that we find someone who we feel would be an excellent GM. Once we select from any candidate I will then buy any needed books on Paizo.com and choose the gift option to send to them. I am at a stage in life that I may do this. My available funds are better than they used to be.
The only thing that needs to be done as payment for my doing this is having a game to play in. That's my only request for remuneration.
Thoughts?
I normally would step up to the plate to run this, (I have the materials as well), but as I am engaged to be married in October, I am finding dwindling free time to do the necessary prep work that gming would cause. I am willing to also gift pdfs or other necessary published material to whomever our next gm is, with the same clause as Tanna.
My only question that remains, is are we a six person group looking for a gm, or are we a four person group? I only ask this because both Apollyon and Seph are personal friends of Evastor, and I am unsure if Evastor is planning something with them in real life.
EDIT: I apparently chopped off the last part of my sentence.
Apollyon and Seph, I am ok with it if you choose to stay. In the event that either of you do not want to play anymore, that is cool too. Whichever one you decide to do.
Once this decision is out of the way we can proceed with who we want as a GM.
I would also like to continue playing
I am still interested in continuing this campaign if some of you still would like to continue. I am sorry to hear that things aren't going as well with you Evastor.
Well, I can get a new game set up if everyone is on board. Let's get a show of hands to see how many of us want to continue.
Once this is done we should get a recruitment thread up post haste.
I'm on board
