"Opilio Hyperuis Damasus, Ready for action! Where'd Uncle Buck go?"
I'll make an alias for my cohort once/if I am accepted.
Just wondering if the applications are closing at 4:40pm PST or EST? I'm on the west coast and I just realized that the OP didn't clarify.
I'm working on my character right now.
Right, going to assume PST then since it is 4:40pm EST right now.
Decided to go for Warlord, since War Master just doesn't have much in the way of teamwork ability (although a human Warmaster could get a stupid ridiculous +8 circumstance bonus to his AC that I really would've liked)
Here's my profile, I'll be steadily updating it until the deadline.
Thunderbeard-You may have missed my submission. Johar Madincor, Warpriest of Trudd (LG, religiously driven, focuses on combat buffing).
I think I did! So that one, too. Never actually heard of Trudd, huh.
Welp, deadline drawing to a close. My crunch isn't 100% complete, mostly just dealing with magic items and the (complicated) maneuvers. The back story is all there and expanded on even. If I get selected I'll keep adding to it and revising, as well as come up with some followers (at least one of which will be my item crafter). I'll fill in the manuevers for awhile and worry about all the magic item juggling if I'm picked.
Didn't even realize it but apparently my character is in some mad competition with Karl.
I'd also encourage the GM to check out my other character Sevia who is my only other PbP character for an example of my RP style.
Thunderbeard-Trudd is a dwarven deity, the son of Torag. There are a lot similarities, but Trudd's focus seemed more fitting for my character.

Lex is LN thunder. Thanks for the list though.
Would be nice to hear from the GM, kind of spotty on that communication.
I'm all anxious and sh*t now! Damnit!
Same. But it's given me some time to touch up my crunch though.
OmiCthulhuOmiCthulhu... When's he gonna post the results???
*Gnaws vigorously on cat*
*sings taldon national anthem to pass time and keep from fidgeting*
How many players will be chosen?>
AAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many players will be chosen?>
Four. (There's a preselected fifth)
Just wondering when the GM is going to get back to us. Kind of asleep at the wheel here.
...kinda wondering if recruitment is even closed?
It does seem rather odd that we haven't heard back from the GM in a while... Has me concerned as to whether they are ok or not...
Technically the deadline was a few hours ago, but I am extending it a bit further. Nothing like a migraine to screw with posting. Regardless, take this time to finish up whatever you were doing to your character, put on final touches with it, ect.
It's all good folks. I don't usually have headaches, but this was a pretty bad one.
As an aside, for those who are selected tomorrow, I will be taking my lovely out on a date, so just letting you guys know my posting will be close to zilch on Saturday. I'll try to slip a post or two in for you guys, but I'm unsure if that will be feasible without being terribly rude.
EDIT: Said 'you guys' one too many times. Ugh. I'm about to go take a nap in a little bit. I think that heat got to me a bit because I've been working since about 30 minutes after I got up around 3:30 and I only got about6 1/2 hours sleep anyway.
Do you want us to have crunch finalized or is it okay to leave some stuff open? (And or make alterations after selection) Some of my class selections will be based on party composition (especially the teamwork stuff).
Either way. So long as your fluff is done and you have a general idea on what you want to play. I just prefer crunch to be finalized. Ok, nap time!
EDIT: Said 'you guys' one too many times.
Oh no... did the GM just let slip that he's picked a party of entirely male characters? What? But he said "you guys" three times... never mind, Half-Life 3 confirmed!
And no worries. A game's maximum post rate is always what works for the GM, not the players.
Oh no... did the GM just let slip that he's picked a party of entirely male characters? What? But he said "you guys" three times... never mind, Half-Life 3 confirmed!
I just get the feeling he's Californian.
Why? Because we Californians say "you guys" when referring to girls all the time.
It's kind of like calling someone "dude" too.
Haha, yep, I just realized the other day that I've started doing that way too much since I started living in California.
No, my baby is from the way down here in hickville! Like so far out in hickville that the average town is rough the size of just a few city blocks if that. This one town near us is basically a collection of buildings in a circle around town hall with a small bit of houses interspersed across a few miles. We had the misfortune of picking up the loval vernacular eccentricity of saying 'guys, man, and dude' a lot. It's weird, considering the fact that I am French and he has like over 180 I.Q., that we still assimilate the vernacular we never thought we would use? Language is freaky that way, is it not?
Posting on the same laptop, btw. Anyone want me to sneak a peek at the current list of applicants?
Cali is awesome, btw! I've always had some notion to move to LA or Silicon Valley. Why the latter? Tech nerd of course!
Hicksville, New York?
Please click on the profile pick to see Gareth Shadowsbane as previously submitted
I finally uploaded him to an alias
Looking forward to seeing who gets chosen.
-----WabbitHuntr
More like 'Deep South, you're more likely to socialize with deranged chickens than people' hickville. :P
Eh... not just constant "y'all"s? That's what my friends from the Carolinas used to say. Although I've met very few people from the Deep South in my life who had any sort of accent.
Y'all is a thing as well, as are things that make no sense. If you have ever heard of people 'gittin them thur tars fixed on they's cur' or have been complimented as a 'purdy ol' woah-man' with some 'long-iced harr' then you know the struggle! :P
I'd rather go to France or Italy than deal with a bunch of hipsters or Cali traffic imo.
Having lived in both San Diego and Orange county for a nice chunk of my life I can say without a doubt I am over Cali. I'd rather go back to Florida as terrible as it can be because at the very least I can breath the air and by tickets to heaven made out of gold whenever I decide to die.
...San Diego and Orange county...
#notmycalifornia
And having been to Florida in the summer, there is absolutely nothing breathable about air at 95% humidity.
"And having been to Florida in the summer, there is absolutely nothing breathable about air at 95% humidity."
-----------------------------
not trying to rub it in (maybe a little), but I was able to go to the beach and jump in the water all winter long down here in Miami.... WITHOUT a wetsuit.
I had to do that multiple times this winter after getting chilled to the bone watching tv and seeing all those people get snowed in during the snow-pocalypse
We hardly had any snow. We had 2+ months where there was hardly more than 24-30 inches on the ground. And now, it is down to only an inch or two. I mean, who needs the beach when you can go out at -5 to -40F.
Plus, to go any speed in Florida, you need some machine. I hit 71 on a pair of old skis this winter. Definitely need new ones next year to see if I can approach 80. Nothing but gravity and insanity baby.
I'm in Colorado. We've had maybe a week of snow total in Denver this year, the mountains are only just out of ski season, and most of my winter was spent in T-shirts because 40 degrees with no humidity feels more comfortable than 60 with.
I've lived in Florida, Michigan, Minnesota and Colorado... Except that there aren't really a lot of large bodies of water, Colorado is environmentally the best. Spent a year in Cali too. Still like Colorado better
Tirion, where you at that has skiable mountains?
New Hampshire. Although the mountains are a little shorter here, the highest, Mt. Washington, is only 6200 ft, they have much bigger teeth than in Colorado (Mt. Washington's top wind speed is 232mph). I lived in Colorado for 2 years, and my brother has been in Colorado Springs for over 20 years, but the skiing is very different out there.
I agree, 0 humidity really changes the feeling, but it is the sun that makes the difference. I went to elementary school (way back in the 1970s) one day at -42. It was cold in Colorado occasionally, and I lived in the mountains, but nothing even close to that. Minnesota is as cold, if not colder, but does not have the snow and mountains that we have here.
I actually live in the middle of New Hampshire. The big mountains are a little more than an hour north with Cannon having just over 2000 (top 4100, bottom 2000) vertical for skiing, and some of the best terrain in the country in my opinion, you just never hear about it because it is owned by the state and not some commercial machine.
I lived in Keystone Colo for a year. Absolutely loved it, snowboarded 100 days that season.
I would love to live out there again. Where I refuse to live is anywhere where it snows a lot without mountains. I want to look at a forecast for 8 inches of snow and think "wohoo powder day" not "s~*%, I'll have to shovel the sidewalk"
I lived in Frisco for 2 years and taught at Copper. Sure I skied 60+ days each year, didn't really keep track. I knew a pile of Keystone employees who would shoot up to A-Basin every day until it closed in June or July, they got close to 200+ days in.
I've only ever lived in Alabama, and I hate it. The summmers are way too frikkin' hot. I dream of moving somewhere more temperate someday.
Colorado weather does spoil one.
Colorado is nice. I liked California as well. Spent one summer in Florida and have to agree that the humidity sucks. While the weather in New Hampshire may not be optimal all the time, the mountains and the life (trees, animals, water, etc) make it a great place to do anything outdoors most of the year (even in the winter, you just need more clothes).
What is this "snow" you speak of? I believe we used to have it in California, but not for a long while. 'twas in the distant past. Much like this humidity thing you refer to. Very dry over here.
For California, there are two key words - Solar + Desalinization
Unfortunately, I will have to withdraw, as fun as this seemed. I've had success in other parts of my life, which is good, but that means I now have less time to be doing posting and playing, which is not so good. :-/ good luck to everyone, and have fun in the game!
I do have to say, I miss real forests. Living in Michigan/Indiana area they were all over the place. Colorado has the one, Rocky Mountain National Park... It's hours away.
I'm in Littleton/Castle Rock area.
Time for my selections!
1. Ange de la Nuit's slotted character (dedicated caster)
2. CommandoDude's Lexarius Rubicon
3. Phoenix Hunter's Detective Blackhart
4. Thunderbeard's Sir Darren Carter
5. LordLuke's Velius Kross
These messageboards have been simply wonderful! So many applicants have such amazing characters, it was hard to choose such a small portion of them. I wish everyone the best in getting into campaigns!
Those selected, head to discussion!
