51 to 100 of 167 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | next > last >>

Is there room for someone else? I might like to do an inquisitor or a halfling wizard.


Well theres still a while till applications close, i will be home some time this evening so i'll post up an applicant list and check peoples sheets.

My baby is fine, actually quieter than i expected since she stops crying as soon as i touch her forehead. Its been more stressful than i though since my gf has lost a lot of blood and needs a transfusion but we're expecting everyone home some time tomorrow. Thanks to all for the comments!


Prayers for you and your new little one and gf.

Just so you know, Antha is my submission for your game.

It's good to hear the hospital people are on top of it! My son will be six months old tomorrow; if you want me to share my experience (and any advice) so far, let me know and I'll send you a PM so we don't clutter up your thread too much! lol

Priorities priorities. We all understand baby and gf come first. Hope all goes well and by all means take your time with us we r not as important as gf and baby!


So far we have...

Leon Gilham, Human knifemaster rogue (complete)
Torillan Ellandilas, Elven two handed fighter (complete)
Dagger, Gnome rogue (needs profile and completion)
Antha Scapegrace, Half elven wizard (complete)
Zoc Nightleaf, Half elven monk (complete)
Sergei Malov, Human scout rogue (complete)
Alagor Faelan, Human weaponmaster fighter (complete)
Shianne Ryu, Human ninja (complete)
Andrej "Catfoot", Human Aldori swordlord (complete)
Maksim Zavidov Radoslavov, Human cleric of Erastil (complete)
Petronicus di Baradin, Human fighter (complete)
Dean Warmack, Human cavalier (needs crunch)
Prato, Nagaji zen archer monk (complete)

Incomplete applications just need to be filled in, Dagger is just an idea at the moment so needs filling in and Dean Warmack has fluff but no crunch.

Looking at this we have a few rogue-ish applications and quite a lot of fighter applications and very few arcane or divine spellcasters. If it comes down to it i'll probably end up taking 1 arcane, 1 divine, 1 rogue and 2 figher types just to try and keep the party balanced, but on saturday i'm going to be spending my time in between nappies and working from home (i use the word working loosely) reading peoples characters in full, checking sheets and taking a look at posting history etc.

Update on baby, I've had about 4 hours sleep in the past 2 days so i'm about to take a shower and crash but baby is absolutely fine, both her and mother are currently still in hospital as my gf is on a drip all night for 3 pints of blood being pumped into her. Thanks to everyone for all your kind words and support, my gf has enjoyed hearing about all the people who care enough to be nice to strangers on the internet and i think you all really lifted her spirits when she was down earlier today from the blood loss and lack of sleep.


I think that I will bow out of this one since you have so many applicants.


Updated everything except mount

Grand Lodge

Grats on your daughter, and best wishes for the GF's recovery


Both your concepts were in under populated catagories Shalafi, so if you do want to apply its not a problem.

Cheers for the update Dean, i'll be doing a lot of reading tomorrow.

Thanks again for all the good wishes!


I present Domitian. An angry soul searching for answers... and a place to call home. Crunch is nearly complete.


Egan appears on the scene bowing low and flashing a handsome gnomish smile. His eyes almost blaze with amusement. At your service. he exclaims. Shall I heal it, or cleanse it with fire?


Crunch and gear for Antha has been revised. She's now an Illusionist instead of Universalist, and updated wealth/equipment from this character's previous attempt.


Almost done! A few tweaks here and there, and a backstory.

dotting for interest,

Phiona, female human bard (controller & skill monkey)

I've done my character stat's and everything as seen here.

---Working on my backstory, please give me some time, thanks.---

I've completed my backstory, you can find it under description on the link above, or click on my name.

Thanks again for consideration.


It think its done! One of my more cliched backstories, but this is a fantasy game!!

I'm envisioning Torillan being hired as a bodyguard for another character, but not necessary.

<crosses fingers for luck>

Hey my character is of noble background, and it'll suit her to have a bodyguard, but I'm just not sure if I could hire someone XD

Either way, we still have to wait for the DM to even select the both of us, before we can even discuss this =p.

I know, just wanted to "spark" the possibilities with some of ya'll.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for both of us! ;-)


Updated my back story. It's better than my first attempt!


Another update for those of you who are waiting for results, I have read quite a lot of the applications but not all of them as i have had a few extra things to do.

Today i have to nip back into the hospital with my new child as she has lost a little more weight than was expected and she needs to have some tests done, nothing to worry about and perfectly routine but got to be done.

I will be trying to finish off my reading and get everything posted tonight but if i do not i will definately get finished tomorrow when everything has calmed down, i'm back at work tomorrow anyway so i will have plenty of time in my breaks and lunches to finish off my reading.

No worries. Priorities, my good man. I hope mom and wee one are well. For the baby hopefully just a little water weight lost.

(Note: I work in healthcare)


Yes, take care of family, first and always. Good Luck!


Indeed, family first

Grand Lodge

What they all said.


Mum lost a lot of blood in delivery and was weak for the first day so baby didn't eat so well, she has a little jaundice and lost 12% of her body weight insted of just 10%. Chances are they are in overnight but its nothing serious.

Best wishes for all!


So I'm at home finishing up my reading, I've made a few selections and I'm agonising over a couple of choices but i still have a fair few martial characters to read over and pick through.

I got your application in Phiona but i didn't want to put up another post just to add you to the list, i've not read you over yet but i will get around to it.

Edit: I've made the selections, its been very hard to pick from all the really great applications and i hope this pbp runs for a long time since i do not look forward to doing that again, a heartfelt apology to everyone whom i didn't pick.

Could Andrej, Domitian, Alagor, Sergei, Egan and Phiona post in the discussion thread their confirmation and then we can have a quick chat and get started.


Congrats and good luck to y'all. Happy gaming :)


Congradulations to the selectees and thanks for the consideration.


Thanks for the consideration. Best of luck with the campaign!

And best wishes to your family Ego!


Thanks for all the support, i wish i could run a 12 player but i think that would be mind blowingly hard. Good luck in your future applications all, some great characters who will be accepted eventually!

background:
Silva was left at the church of Erastil as a new born. Though he has never known his parents, rumors were rampant that his mother was a noble who had gotten pregnant out of wedlock and had left her child at the church to avoid embarrassing her family's name. He spent his childhood serving in the church and learning the ways of his deity. As he grew, so did his fervor for service. He made serving and protecting his community his life. His skill with the longbow was tested multiple times against bandits and animals in defense of the common people. Everything changed recently when his High Priest told him he had been praying and was given a vision. He said Erastil had made it clear through a vision that Silva was destined to travel to the Stolen Lands. Erastil had claimed the lands as his and wanted to see them eradicated of evil. He told Silva that his "holy crusade" was to take back the land for the people. Silva has spent the past several days travelling to Oleg's outpost for supplies before braving the wilderness.

DM:
I went with the paladin instead of the druid because I saw that the group had hired a scout. I think with the current make up of the group this character would be a better fit. At L2+ he will provide healing with lay on hands. He will be able to do decent damage as well. At higher levels, he would be able to remove disease and protect the group from evil. If you think the group would benefit more from a druid, I have one created as well!


Not to intrude but Maksim is still available and currently I'm down to one slow posting Kingmaker game (not that far advanced) and one Crimson Throne that is glacial. I'd like to have one fast moving PbP. If the slot is already taken OK, just place me on your reserve list, if that's alright with you.


Egan invited one of his friends Maksim, but i'll definately keep you on reserve.

The paladin looks good Silva, i'll see what the guys say and see if i can introduce you this monday once they've done their questioning.


Thank you! If everyone would prefer a cleric, I have one on stand by. I think the paladin would be a good fit for the current group, but I will play whichever is needed most. I have enjoyed reading the gameplay and look forward to meeting everyone!


Having recently lost a couple of people to real life i'm currently opening recruitment again, we're looking for 1 or possibly 2 people depending on applicants using the same recruitment restrictions as the first post. Ideally i would like players who can post every day (weekends options) and are not shy of getting involved in the decicion making process of exploring a vast area.

The party are still level 1 but will shortly be level 2, while they are exploring the wilderness at the moment i do not doubt they will return to their base camp shortly and new party members will be able to join there. Keen roleplayers will fit into the campaign very well and quickly so having a plan for introducing yourself would be a boon.

Recruitment will close on Tuesday morning at 9am bst.

The Exchange

Hello Ego!

My name is Celeador, I'm pretty new to the pbp, but a longtime pathfinder player. I'm currently active in five campaigns, and if you take a look at my posts you can see that I keep up with the pace your asking for. It looks like you lost a witch and a rogue? What are your other active players? Looks like a Aldori fighter, a Paladin a Oracle of Fire and a Bard and a inquisitor? Is that right? And just to confirm 1st level or 2nd? Also since this character is comming in "after the fact" is there anything in particular that the other members of the group are looking for as they round out their roster.

Thanks!


We lost a witch and a fighter however our rogue is currently mia. The current party is made up of an oracle, paladin and fighter. We're recruiting two more to fill the missing spots in the hope that the rogue will reappear or confirm his absence.

I'll be asking the other group members for a bit of input into what they would prefer but i could not presume to speak for them, however i try to accomodate my players so if for example no one can find traps you will not be challenged by many. If i had to guess i would say that an arcane spellcaster would not be unwelcome. We're recruiting 1st level but i 2nd level is one or two encounters away, kingmaker is very easy to get sidetracked in though so i hope for a lot of interaction between levels.


I will certainly be applying. I didn't end up applying for the initial round, but as the pbp I got into is very slow (but fun!) I'm looking to get involved in another that ticks over regularly and often. I'll have something up in a day or so. Gameplay thread looks fun!

Sovereign Court

You can count me in for applying!

I'm thinking of going somewhere along the lines of Cavalier/Bard/Battle Herald as my progression, though he certainly won't be any pushover. I'll put up a background tonight.

Expect some darker tones, as I do love gritty characters who've gone through hell and high water to get where they're at!


I'd like to pitch my idea.

Vael, Elven Fire Elementalist Wizard. I see him as either a wanderer or exile in regards to elven society. He has experienced the power of fire at somepoint in his past and has developed an obsession with it. In truth it both fascinates and scares him, the power to destroy or purify and protect.

Returning to camp, you are suprised to see you have company. Slowly the elf rises, making no move for the bow next to him nor the rapier at his side. Brushing back his long hair, his burning gazes meets each of you in turn. "I am Vael"..........

Why does Vael want to explore the stolen lands?

Knowledge, Power, and Salvation?

While Vael may tell people he was exiled, the truth is he ran, ran from his home, ran from his people, ran from his future. Now he is searching for a new future. The stolen lands may be rough and dangerous but they also contain secrets, lost lore and power. Perhaps out here, surrounded by untamed wilderness, Vael can forge his shattered soul into something more......if the fire does not consume him.


I am thinking about a human barbarian, archetypes urban barbarian and invulnerable rager. Background would be he was born into a noble house as the result of an affair between the countess and a tribesman possible a chieftain. His mother knows that he isn't a legitimate son and others suspect. His mother told him and he decided to spare her the embarrassment and possible reprisal from the wronged husband to leave for adventure and build his own position in live. I envision him as a friendly large man with quite a temper but with a good heart, caring for others.

If this might fit what your looking for let me know and I will wright up a background.


It doesn't look like you have any wilderness-focused characters so I propose a druid.

I'll get the application up tonight: it'll be a utility/caster build.

What races are allowed?

Sovereign Court

I think I have to drop my ideas for this one. Cheers to all of you, and best of luck!

A druid would be sweeeeet. That said the Paladin and fighter both have survival wilderness.

I'll leave the DM to cover the rest.


Maksim is still ready to join the group! Wilderness, archery, and good healing are his strengths. I leave to the group's judgement as to the quality of the backstory. I'm in other Kingmaker groups one slow, one too new to judge, but this story seems to move faster than most which I like. If there are any changes needed or desired please let me know.

Thanks for consideration.
