GM Captain Trips Curse of the Crimson Throne (Inactive)

Game Master Chad Newman

Now, we are all on a first name basis.

Wow, the herd is being culled on their own. At least it's making GM RR's job easier.

Longest week ever! Can't wait for Sunday.

Sorry to see you guys go, I hope you find a good game eventually.

Oh dear, now I'm self conscious about how the wait is making people leave...

Don't be, you'll want people to be dedicated to the game, so the wait will just weed out the ones who applied for the heck of it.

Indeed, the rest of us wait with bated breath!

For the record, the wait to Sunday is killing me just as much as you guys, but I said I was giving until sunday for people to finish up, and I'm holding to my word.

Also for the record, I'm got the preliminary sorting up, and I'd like a heads-up if you make big changes to your characters, so I'll know to look over carefully a second time.

Okay, I switched out the Harrow Born trait for Harrow Chosen. Other than that I'm good.

I've made some changes; changed the race to human (chelaxian), and made a small addition to the section that deals with No-name's father.

No changes here.

I'm still in. Unless you start a land war in asia...

Can we change all Varisian character to Sicilian?

A Sicilian Cleric, especially of Pharasma, would just be epic.

I'll just change the alias info to the new statblock and story, so you don't have to wade through looking for my updated stuff.

Anybody want a peanut?

Lazlo Woodbine here. I've copied Motai's stat block and background to a character on here in case it's easier for you, Rusty.

Thank you. ^^

Nobody expects the Erastil inquisition...

Our main weapon is surprise. Surprise and devotion to old deadeye.

"You, why aren't you married yet?"
"I'm a free spirit?"
"Guilt trip him again... bring out his mother!"
"You know, I've always wanted grandchildren..."
"NOOO! You monsters!"
"Turn to the true path and it will all be over...."

Worked on my profile, just has to choose my equipment now.

This is ShadowyFox's Heavens oracle. I also just have to choose equipment.

Hm... Well, that's everyone who dotted. I'll take some time to go over all the applications again and post a decision soon.

If anyone would like more time to polish things up, please let me know.

(I will, of course, not be penalizing for unfinished equipment.)

GM, any areas that you'd prefer more info on? Or any glaring issues you'd want me to fix? Just want to make sure I give a good showing. And good luck to everyone!

I don't see any glaring issues up to now, your profile looks very solid.

It's going to be very hard to choose, I can tell you I've got more than six characters pretty much shoulder to shoulder at the finish line, and it's going to hurt to eliminate anyone from that pack.

This is always the hardest part of any PbP. the selection process is never easy and is made even harder by the quality of the applications. Good luck GM RR, and everyone else, and I'm sure that whoever is selected will have a wonderful time saving Korvosa.

There, is that better?

Shhh! No spoilers!

Yup, gonna be a loooong weekend wait :)

I've been updated in Data and Background and Description.

And no spoilers.

Unless anyone needs the extra day, I'm going to reveal my choices tomorrow night. (That is, saturday.)

Saving the city the adventure starts out in is hardly a spoiler. Like "hey! Did you know at the end of neverwinter nights, you save neverwinter?"

Just an FYI. I'm going to be at my in-laws farm this weekend and won't be back until Sunday night. They are in rural Illinois, and by rural I mean AOL dial-up service rural.
oh, and I changed the ending of my post

It was something else until he edited.

Thank you for hiding that.

@GM Do you need more information on the character? Are there any mistakes you noticed with the back-story or crunch? Is there anything you just don't like about the character? Please be as blunt as possible.

Same here.

GM is contemplating if he can choose me six times.

I'm good with moving things forward a day.

I know how he feels. I can never seem to make it to my original deadline when I've picked folks for APs in the past. You get so many good applicants it is almost impossible not to get excited about getting things going. Looking at the people who have applied I can tell that his choice will not be an easy one. I could make two awesome groups out of the folks who have applied. Heck, that is what I did with my last AP because I just couldn't decide! :)

No-Name: Your presentation is quite solid, no complaints there.

Noya: Your presentation looks alright as well, but please check your PMs about something.

After much consideration I’m going to make Krojun an assimar. The favored class bonus for assimar bards is really nice and I’m already a dual talent human so it seems like a natural fit. I’ll update the character sheet and add a little more to his history when I get home (~1.5 hours).

Ooo. Shoanti Aasimar? Interesting.

If you’re familiar with the Sandman graphic novels, I’m going to go for similar themes in Krojun’s origins.

GM Rusty Rooster, is there anything in my submission that you have questions about, or that needs clarification? Anything you would like to see changed and/or removed? Please, let me know. It's only through someone else's critiques, a fresh set of eyes and all that, that a character's submission can be improved.

I'm good with moving it forward a day. That said, is there anything I'm missing from my PC?

GM, you said equipment list is fine for now, but would you like me to update any of the other crunchy bits?

...Noya: Your presentation looks alright as well, but please check your PMs about something.

I updated and fixed the issue.

Nothing particularly strikes me as problematic in any of your profiles. No one made any gigantic mistakes that marked them as "unpickable", so as to speak.

Oh. I see. Carry on then.

Man, I'm gone for a few hours and the thread explodes!

Good luck everyone. It should be an excellent game!

Krojun is updated and now a fancy shoanti-assimar.

His backstory has been updated a bit to fit with the changes.

Sera, I made the assumption that both of us are going to get picked and used you in my backstory. =)

NP, I hope you are correct :D
