Since some of the play-by-posts game I've been in have gone the way of the dodo, I thought I'd start the one that's been bouncing around inside my head for awhile.
Looking for 3-4 players. Now the little backstory you get for the game itself is simple: You're orphans all grown up, and have recieved letters(how you get them is up to you) saying that the lady who raised you(Keiyanna, a half-elf not quite middle-aged) has been accused of murder. The orphange has come down on hard times lately, and 2 of the 5 people trying to close it down has been brutally killed, and in their own beds! No one has seen the killer yet, but all eyes are on Keiyanna...
I't your job to clear her name and find the real killer!
Lv2 characters, 1000 starting gold, and 15 point buy. In addition to the core classes, I'm allowing: Oracle, Witch, Cavalier, and Alchemist.
Sounds interesting. I was running this ranger in a game, but it was put on hold because my DM had a new baby.
This sounds like a chance for him to be reborn!
Also interested...a little mystery pathfinder..i like it. Will work on a character concept..maybe an Archer Paladin/Rogue..hmmm?
Just wondering, are you "auditioning" or just taking the first interested PC's?

Nice backstory!
The first character concept I thought of was a bard. He grew up in the orphanage inspired by the Keiyanna's lullabies and other songs. He now works in the town's theater district. Enraged by the information in the letter he rushes back to the orphanage to comfort Keiyanna and start with her to try to find clues....
This is the beginnings of a character submission for Deepdweller..
As a young girl Lydinia's family was murdered..she was raised away from her people in the orphanage. A charming youth who always had a knack for trouble..Keiyanna was always there to steer her in the right direction and urged her to search in faith for the answers she needed...
I am interested! If there is free places left, will join up. Need to twist my original character little bit (Really fond of him, so would like to see him in some games) but otherwise, I am ready to go

Everything done now from character stat, eq, background etc etc. Just would like to ask since defined my appearance to be more describing and background is more like prequel to receiving letter and starting the journey to get to orphanage. Idea would be that he is getting told most information from others or from Keiyanna herself (due to his mood / appearance etc, what there is) to make him more cooperative with others, since as his nickname from the letter-> Sulky heh :P, he was quite out of the games in orphanage and not doing so well with others (this would force him to talk, atc with others and but him think his relationships (respect, open him up, etc))
Would love to submit an Oracle of either fire or air for this if you have room.
Got my ranger built out. His name is Toma
I would like to add a question, that do we have traits or they are not included to this game?
Also Paehz, could you add some stats to your building like how you got all your stats like that? I guess I know it somehow but would like to see if I am correct plus it seems quite interesting.
Just intrigued of the building of your character and how was all formed (got bad hobby of going through people characters and stats :P)

Looking over the characters, I find that I like them. You guys certainly aren't going to make any choices easy...
MoFiddy: <.< >.> How did you know she used Lullaby to get you to sleep as a kid? ;)
Lydinia: Looks like your close to being done. Just need to get her XP(we're using the Fast progression for this) and work out the background.
Eadric: I fine having two paladins in the group. If you want to change him around, that is your decision.
Toma(Thoma?): Looks like you've got everything sorted out.
Mark: A Superstar want to audition for one of my games? Awesome. Go ahead and create the Oracle, and we'll see who all gets in.
If you notice something I missed, please post it.
HP is Max at 1st level and half +1 for the other levels(including your Con bonus of course). I'm going to use the Fast XP progression for this game. To be honest, you may not make it past level 3...
Edit: Yes, you can have traits.
mhm :) I assume that +1 or +2 traits are ok (most likely just 1, but not sure about sources then.. hm.. was thinking these two: Anatomist and Deft Dodger or if just one going for one of them.
Otherwise, I am ready and all is okey with my char.
Dragonborne3: mhm, this will be my guy

Paehz => Thoma
Paehz is built on a 25 pt. base - were you looking at his stats, or Thoma's?

Thoma´s :P I can see the Stat build and getting modifiers to other stuff but... somehow I just don´t see some of the stuff getting to picture: i.e moving speed, initiative, etc

That's because it was flat-out wrong - I started with another character template, and forgot to change those stats - it is updated now.
Did that answer your question, Az?
Ok, I think Lydinia is ready to go. Made a few changes.
If Deepdweller is going the paladin route I can re-tool Eadric to a Cavalier or go with something totally different. Cleric. Wizard. Whatever you need Dragonborn3. :)
I could change to a Cleric/Rogue if you don't want to change...might actually be more useful to the party. Thoughts?

I'm OK with whatever. You don't need to change on my account! :)
So far with those characters proposed we are lacking in the arcane magic (other than the bard), and quite heavy on the guys who hit things with pointy sticks! ;) This isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Like Dragonborn3 said, he doesn't see a problem with 2 paladins in the party.
I'll keep Eadric as he is for now. I'll update his character sheet to reflect this PBP's parameters once all the players have been selected.
Cheers
Preliminary version
Hehe... seems I forgot something...
Allowing Aasimars and Tieflings too... feel free to change if you want.
*sheepish DM grin*
Really shouldn't have forgot it though, a pregen I made to see if 15 would be enough(I have come to think it is) is an Aasimar...
No Inquisitor's, but all the other advanced player's guide classes? Was thinking of changing to an inquisitor/rogue til I reread your first post.
I was wanting to avoid a possible glut of Inquisitor when I said "you have to find the reall killer", and since this is a mystery game(my first try, with a little horror mixed in) I knew Inquisitors would look pretty good...
No worries, was just curious
In case you were wondering, I'm going to pick characters on Thursday. Please try to have everything done by then, okay?
I have not played a PbP before, so I'm a little unfamiliar with some things. How do you handle tactical combat, if any? I'm not against having a RP heavy game, as that is what I imagine PbP must almost all be, but I'm kind of lost as to how you can figure who's flanking or provokes AoO's when it's all text.
As well, I'm curious what materials you allow. You stated that you are ok with Tieflings and Aasimars and some APG classes, so is that Core Only aside from it, or are you good with 3rd Party, 3.x stuff.
Statistically, adult orphans who were never adopted tend to be more likely to abuse chemicals, have severe depression, and other mental issues. This guy would be no exception to that trend. Still, he tries...really tries to be a good person. It's why he joined the monastery when he turned 18, why he gives the few meager coins he finds along in life to other people, why he stands up for other people being pushed around. Now, to see his childhood caretaker being treated like this...well, that's just too much.
I'm thinking a half-human, but I haven't decided on elf or orc for the other side of things. All the more twisted background to torment him psychologically. He would be a stealth master and skill monkey, since living on the streets since he was kicked out of the monastery has honed his ability to fade into the background of a crowd and hop around on buildings, etc.
I guess Drunken Master would need some conversion, given that 3.5 doesn't perfectly mesh with PF, though.
If not, I can come up with something else, but I haven't thought it out yet.

** spoiler omitted **...
Hm... that sounds interesting. Although not 100% sure but could say that maybe not possible. Although there is alot of feats and traits which could help you to make 'Drunken Master' filling the criterias of PF but mostly would be in description form.
About character choosing.. well, so far if understood correctly = Core, APG, Aasimar, Tiefling are allowed and outside of that not(?). Dragonborne3 of course will make the final decision but I would believe you could make some kind of sheet or stats of him to show him out first to make his decision easier.

While I like the idea and VoP, I will not be allowing anything else. Drunken master also requires you to be 5th level before you can enter, and this game is not likely to go past 3rd.
As for flanking and AoOs, I admit I'm no good making online maps(or even drawing). I will describe the area and give you the size(30ft wide and 20ft long for example) and you'll usually be able to move or tumble into flanking. If the murderer backs into a corner and flanking isn't possible, I'll tell you.
Don't mean to intrude, but if you need an arcanist, I am happy to fill the role. I can make it simple or complex as you will.

You're not intruding Ender, so no worries there. I haven't picked who is going to play yet, so if you can get a character ready and posted, you'll be in the group I'll pick from.
I don't mind what you play, so if you'd like to submit an Arcanist, feel free to. Feel free to play a dwarven sorceress if you want!
Ha, not the CLASS Arcanist, the role, but ok, thanks :) I'll try to have something to you in a few hours. Dang work interfering with my game life....
Here is Eadric revamped for this PBP.
I tweaked him here and there, hopefully without mistakes.
I look forward to hopefully participating in this PBP!
Cheers
Rough Draft of Basha Taal up.

So far we have the following candidates.
Lydinia: Elven Rogue1/Paladin1
Azharten Varosia: Human Fighter2
Thoma: Half-Elven Ranger2
Zarai: ??? Oracle of the Wind2
Eadric Cuthwulf II: Human Paladin2
Basha Taal: Tiefling Wizard(Diviner)2
Quite the line-up.
@Zarai/Mark Thomas 66: Zarai is done yet. I hope you can find the time to finish her and her background.
@Eadric: You forgot to mention the letter in the revised background. Right now your still wandering around the world... ;)

Sorry Dragonborn but I changed Lydinia around a bit since last you looked..she is now a Rogue1/Cleric1(Seranrae)...I felt that a healer/rogue would be more useful to the party than another blade.

Will do!

Fixed! :)
As a newcomer to the world of PbP, I'm intrigued by the premise. I have an idea for a Witch... watch this space.
Barrdyn's Witch here. I've still to do the mechanics for the familiar but it's getting late and I think it's time to turn in.

Calling Basha, Azharten, Eadric, and Lydinia! Once you've posted in the Discussion thread, I'll start the in-character thread!
To those who didn't make, please feel free to watch the thread and discuss it in the Discussion Thread. If anyone has to drop out of the game for an extended period of time, I'll pick a replacement from those who weren't picked now.
