i'm of course interested but, man evening europe? that's about 11 to 12 hours ahead of me meaning only posts during my early hours. :P
also @ roonfizzle, do you mean you found another recruitment with similar creation rules? can you toss a linky?
Still very interested and hope to do this with you all
I'll gladly send you Ahti's stuff if you'd like. I'm eager to play her.
i feel like mentioning that gaspar got back to me today, he said he is indeed swamped and is unlikely to GM, he MAY later, but definitely not in the next week or so. so I'd consider him off the table until he says otherwise. XD
I'm interested still!
Drat! I was hoping to create a character for this campaign. :(
If there is a new DM/GM, please message me, as I would be interested in submitting a character for review and possible selection in the campaign!
Regarding the character creation rules, I imagine that he simply saw something he liked and copied it. There are a few recruitments on here with very similar rules but very different GMs (Old guard-style players with thousands of posts and newbies like myself with only a dozen or so) and I know I copied some facets of my recruitment from another guy on here, so I don't think it was a 'same guy' situation. If it was, one wonders why he had to make two profiles. In any case, that's an unfortunate part of any play-by-post setting and I know that Obsidian Portal is notorious for GM drops and such. Hopefully you all will find someone! Let me know if you do, as I was wanting to submit a character.
I am also still interested!
How do you want to proceed vis-a-vis selection?
For the record, Ozak is meant to be a somewhat goofy wild melee fighter with an intimidate angle. Eager to get into fights but good-humored about it. Definitely would not make a good king (though he might pout for a bit about not getting to be one).
At the moment he uses an orc double axe as a two-handed weapon but he will get TWF at second level.

also @ roonfizzle, do you mean you found another recruitment with similar creation rules? can you toss a linky?
No, he means he found another one with exactly the same creation rules, and the GM for it has 17 posts to his name, having been created this week. I again suspect the same troll.
I'm going to make it a personal rule to not apply to any more games unless the GM has at least 100 posts, to avoid this sort of trolling in the future.
I'm sure it's just a coincidence, but mdt is correct in that it's suspicious.
Thinking about it, if there are too many Rogue's for Roonie to get a serious consideration, I'm working on a Barbarian > Ulfen Guard || Aegis for Ejrik the Norseman's recruitment, based on this prior concept.
Depending on how easily I refit it for his homebrew setting, and this re-recruitment work out, I could offer him instead. (Preference is Roonie >>> Huscarl Carrack Athelstan for KM, but there are SO MANY Rogue submission here...)
I, for one, still hope the GM comes back. I was only able to play in a Kingmaker campaign once as a Tengu on Obsidian Portal, but that campaign ended shortly before the first book was slated to end, according to one of the other players. WHERE'S MY CHEESY BREAD*?!
*Cheesy bread being Kingmaker, of course.
Still here, interested and waiting.
Sure, interested. PBP isn't that hard. Easier in some ways, as you can take your time posting NPC speech. I can offer some pointers, how to do maps, etc.
@ Shi’Vatha Thanks, I might take you up on your offer. I don’t really understand your character. He’s a free (d) eidolon and what? I see you have taken 2 levels eidolon instead of 2 different classes at level 1.
I'm also still interested.
@ The Dragon Post you character please so I can review it.
I'm of course interested but, man evening Europe? That’s about 11 to 12 hours ahead of me meaning only posts during my early hours. :P
@ J Sorry, it is what it is.
I'll gladly send you Ahti's stuff if you'd like. I'm eager to play her.
@ Ahti Send me your character so I can review it.
If there is a new DM/GM, please message me, as I would be interested in submitting a character for review and possible selection in the campaign!
@ Ejrik Same as above send me your character so I can review it.
I am also still interested! How do you want to proceed vis-a-vis selection?
@ Ozak Nice you’re just as excited as I am. I plan to sort through the current submissions and make my choice Monday 24-08-15. Those who have shown interest must post or PM me before Sunday so I use the day to check them.
So I've been lurking for a while now and just wanted to express my still living interest in this game. Just as an FYI.
@Jarred As I’ve said before in this thread, post or send me you’re character so I can review it.
I’m excited to start this adventure with you guys. If Archlichey!/GM Kingslayer returns I would gladly give up my rights and let him continue or I would even submit Jorn again.

Nope, haven't updated the profile with the gestalt yet, figured I'd do it when/if I get chosen. Basically, yes, he's an unfettered eidelon. So, one half of the gestalt would be Eidelon, the other half a class.
Character sheet is Here.
Basically, the eidelon half is a summoner class without the caster bit. So, half a class, rather than a full class on one side, full class on other side.
Still lurking.
@ Ahti Send me your character so I can review it.
Sending it now.

Okay, great!
Put Ozak Daggertooth's personality up. He is basically ready; I just have to invent a few friends he knows from Restov and other places before that.
For the record he has Dazzling Display so he will sync well with a rogue with a shatter defenses build, if anyone is playing that.
wondering if there's any progress with Jorn/webb
Yes, there is. The deadline for people still interested ends today. I will make my decision Sunday and then it's of to the races ......I think they say.
Wow, that's a short deadline if ever I saw one. I'm also still interested, but I haven't finished my character yet. It's a level one character though... Am I too late in making a character if I can finish it before tomorrow? We are using the rules from the first post right?
i'm of course interested with Jamahzin, but yeah i didn't even really know if you had decided to do it or not XD.
Just to get it straight, we need to PM you the submission right?
I didn't make any changes to Iavas as I considered her pretty much ready from the previous recruitment. Might buy some more cheap mundane gear tomorrow, but nothing else.
I believe i did add my submission, but here she is again :)
Jason is pretty much ready. I probably should expand on his background a bit though... This is oyzar's submission.
@ Jamahzin I did decide and thought I made that clear. I want to give it a try, taking a band of misfits and helping them create a kingdom.
@ Iavas/Zartana I have your submissions.
@ Oyzar Post here or PM your submission please.
I see that some people have filled out some "requested bits", but I don't see that in the OP. Do you want that and/or a 10 minute background? I'll probably add in a 10 minute background tomorrow to flesh out the character.
My submission is here
@Oysar What happened, was that we had a full recruitment, and then DM Archlichey! vanished. We had a second DM pick up with 98% of the same build requirements, and is currently running a game. Jorn/The Dutch DM has graciously volunteered to pick a few more that didn't make the one running game, but has not posted an actual recruitment, nor has specified any new changes.
As for why it's so quick, please keep in mind that this process started several weeks ago now (Almost a month actually), and most of us have already been staring at the sea, wondering if the dike will save us this time, or if someone will be up all night plugging a leak with their finger.
Did you get my pm with Ahti's concept and character sheet?
So are we using the rules from the first or second recruitment? The other recruitment was in another thread...
Shi's background is in the thread, but here it is again. And again, his build is on the link below...
Character sheet is Here.
Shi'Vatha, which in the Celestial tongue means 'Seeker of Evil', Warden Archon of the 7th Tome Zaphkiel was never a very good Warden Archon. Or rather, he was a very good Warden, and little escaped his notice.
But he was not stoic and stone faced like the other Warden Archons. He enjoyed listening to stories, he smiled at things the others found no more important than a stray breeze.
So when Iomedae came seeking an entity willing to form a bond with one of his chosen Paladins, not as a spirit companion, nor even an animal companion, but as a lowly summoned creature of little power, Shi'Vatha thought for only a few minutes before grinning at the god and stepping forward.
Iomedae was not sure of this choice, but it would be dishonorable to turn down one who had volunteered to give up so much. And so Shi'Vatha gave up the power he had and bonded to Casarina Methaila, a valiant Aasimar Summoner Paladin of Iomedae.
Shi'Vatha was not as strong as most eidelon's, due to his summoner's primary path being that of a Paladin, however, he was an excellent scout, his small feline form allowing him to sneak through places Casarina could not and ferret out information for her.
The two were quite the well known pair in the Church of Iomedae, and got many of the most dangerous assignments. They were well respected, even though the two had something of an odd couple feel to them, for Shi had a wicked sense of humor, while Casarina had no sense of humor at all.
The church respected the pair, none-the-less, for they were especially well known for tracking down dangerous artifacts and destroying them, wherever they might be hiding (or hiden!). However, they were also very good at investigating mysteries as well.
It was on one such assignment that the team met a horrible ending of their pact. Casarina had been tasked with investigating the sudden betrayal by a priest of his flock, and subsequent sacrificing of many of them to some unknown entity.
The pair did as they normally did, Shi'Vatha scouting ahead (although close enough not to lose his life force from being too far separated from his partner), and Casarina dispatching foes with the occasional assistance from Shi'Vatha.
Unfortunately, they fell into a trap devised by those who had turned the priest. The two were captured, and taken to an evil cave where blood was spilled in a horrifying magical rite. Casarina's mind was broken with fell magic, and her former good and right nature turned to chaos and evil. Casarina awakened and began to walk the path of an anti-paladin summoner.
The ritual did not go as expected though, for it had not been performed on someone who was both a Paladin and Summoner before. Casarina's tie to Shi'Vatha was rent assunder, both gaining a burning rune on their forehead as the bond was rent. Casarina could not summon a new eidelon, and Shi'Vatha could not return to his home.
Casarina was afraid to kill her former ally, for fear her ability to summon, or use summoner magic, would also be destroyed permanently. So she locked the catlike eidelon in a steel cage and tortured it when bored.
After several months of such treatment, amazingly, Shi'Vatha's shattered mind began to reform, the madness induced by the destruction of his bond receding, and his original good and upright nature returning. Finding himself suddenly able to control his own evolution, he waited for Casarina to depart on a murder spree, and evolved an upper torso, turning himself into a taur. Using his newfound hands and skills, he used a bent nail from the wooden floor of his cell to pick the lock and flee back to the church to tell them what had happened.
The church of Iomedae is nothing if not loyal, and Shi had shown such loyalty as few have for the church. However, his manners and mannerisms were not... exactly what they expected of either a paladin or a paladin's creature. And his newfound (and understandable) attitude of Antipathy toward Paladins was also something of an embarrassment.
So while the church is still very friendly toward Shi, and accords him a priest of Iomedae, he is not sought after often to go on missions. Indeed, while he's still accorded all priestly ranks and favor, Shi has officially gone on 'sabbatical'.
The church, wanting to do right by Shi'Vatha, has asked the Brevoy lords who are mounting an expedition to the Stolen Lands to employ Shi'Vatha in their group. They feel getting him away from church politics and the Paladin training grounds would be good for both the church and their loyal priest in absentia.
Also, I picked a small MW longbow for the free MW weapon. Shi's proficient with all martial and simple weapons (outsider). I figured since he's not likely to ever need melee weapons, a ranged weapon made most sense. I spent 200gp in starting funds to add the +2 STR bonus to the MW bow.
I thought Eidolons weren't usually profiecent with any weapons? They have evolutions to get them though.
Welp, I don't know if I'm doing this right, but I'm just going to say I'm interested still if anyone picks this up.
@ Ahti Yes I did.
@ Oyzar Use the rules in the first post of this thread.
@ Kana I will take your submission under consideration.
I thought Eidolons weren't usually profiecent with any weapons? They have evolutions to get them though.
A) When they become unfettered, they follow normal rules for outsiders. Outsiders are proficient in all martial weapons.
B) He's also got a level of Rogue.If the GM rules against A, B still holds.
Hi, I have made my decision. The following characters will be part of this epic journey into unknown territories where fame and riches await the brave and daring.
Ciana Andu
Jamahzin
Ozak Daggertooth
Roonfizzle Garnackle
Zartana Orlovsky
Thanks for all your submissions and offers of help regarding DM’ing PBP. I’ve sent all chosen a PM with the discussion thread.
A hex* on you all!
Good luck! With a drow as the only high cha character you will need it ;).
Thank you for having us! I'm going to take a long look at my profile, to make sure that everything matches the first page's build requirements, particularly gold spending. I expect to have that fully adjusted within the next 24 hours.
Good luck! With a drow as the only high cha character you will need it ;).
this made me laugh more than it should have.
Whats wrong with a LE Matriarchal Kingdom? Hmmm?
Aww man i thought i really had a shot, put me in a good word Jama!
*sigh*
Congratz to those who won.
Aww man i thought i really had a shot, put me in a good word Jama!
WHO ARE YOU?!
*hours later decides to look through aliases*
oh, ugh sure pink-eye
Wait, someone picked up players? And poor Ejrik was not notified of another recruitment? Barbarian sad!
Is there anyone else willing to GM this? At this point, I am considering buying the books and playing the campaign with a GMPC in it so that I can do some awesome Kingmaker-ey stuff. I would much rather someone else come forth and GM, of course.
Still hoping original DM comes back.
What would people think if I decided to run this with some alterations to the rules?

Just saw this thread. I would be interested, would you be using the OP character creation rules?
