Step one is to try recruiting.
Vicenzo, if you ever have openings in your games I'd be interested. I was in two games run by
GM Advocate and so have some holes in my gaming dance card.
I agree with the consensus; we should try to recruit a GM if we can find one. I think that's our best solution. If one of us stepped up to GM, I think we'd still need to recruit a new PC, so there will be recruiting either way. Let's shoot for the moon first and see where we go from there.
Do we want to formalize any criteria that we're looking for before we "open" the recruitment?
Fwiw, if we don't find someone, I think I'd be willing to GM this. It would be my first time doing any PbP GMing, though. While I was planning to GM some PFS scenarios before I attempted anything bigger, it is past time that I do some GMing on the boards.
I think as long as they are willing to keep Advocate's rules we're fine. I'm not a fan of wound thresholds so I'd like to drop those but otherwise the game as it is now works fine for me.
Recruiting a player is usually easier than recruiting a GM. I saw some thread already on the recruiting board looking for a GM and not getting a lot of answers. But we might have a better change since I didn't see any Hell's vengeance in a while there. So there is less competition for that. As for me, I'm already running 3 games. I could find the time for 4, but I was hoping to keep that for Starfinder when it comes out.

Hey, Starfinder. I'm also looking forward to that.
I'm pretty sure one of my games will be finished by then so that will open up that slot.
I'll let you play in mine if you let me play in yours. :)
I would have no problems dropping wound thresholds either. It hasn't come up for Pava in any combat yet, but I wasn't looking forward to when it *did* come up.

Sound like a good offer and I will remember you when I start my campaign. Though, I usually try not to play in the adventure path I GM in. I have a hard time separating player knowledge and character knowledge, so I stay away from the path I know too much about. I have a weird memory where I don't remember what I did for dinner last week, but I can tell you the entire plots of a book or movie I saw 10 years ago, and quote parts of it! But the offer is welcome and appreciated.
So... what shall we do? It seems none of us are able to take up the group atm so shall we try to find a GM?
Might has well try. Hopefully we can find someone, if not, then I'm not sure. I guess we could wait until one of us as room to run this one or our previous GM come back to us.
I just made a recruitment post; that should pop us to the top of the Recruitment forum, right?
Not looking good so far...

It's very difficult. As a GM, there is NO incentive whatsoever to take over a group of players unless you know and like the people playing.
There are a lot more players than GMs so any GM can just start a recruitment thread and have plenty to choose from.
Even me with my fast-paced, high-commitment games have people to choose from. :)
Don't lose faith but don't hold your breath either. :)
Hello all.
Like I said in an earlier post, I am currently GMing three games here. Two of those games currently have room for one player. I'm offering it to you guys here before heading to the general public. I wouldn't say that I am as good than GM Advocate, but I think I keep thing interesting.
Here are the games if you want to take a look.
1- Rannik's Carrion Crown
We are at the end of book three. The characters are level 8. Currently in the group we have a Wizard, a Rogue, an Oracle and a Monk/Inquisitor. The player that left is the Tank Paladin. Any new character that would gain would be after the last battle of the book, which they are near of. If you want, you could play the Paladin until we can fit your new character in later on.
2- Rannik's Crypt of the Everflame
This one is a series of modules. They just completed the Crypt of the Everflame and they will move forward into the Dragon's Demand. There will be lot's of modification to that one to fit the narrative that I have planned. So if you have played before, it's not really a problem. In the group we have a Bloodrager, a Warpriest and an Inquisitor. There is a new player that also just got recruited. Last he told me, he was doing an Kineticist, still waiting to see what will come out of that.
Anyway, let me know if you are interested and what game you want to join.
