I am thinking of running of running a Rappan Athuk campaign but I would like to see if people are interested. If enough people show interest this I will either make a new thread for a recruitment or just convert this one into a recruitment. I am looking for around 5 to 6 players.
There's always interest in Rappan Athuk. Case in point: around 6 months ago, someone initiated a similar thread, and around a half-dozen people (myself included) waited diligently until recently when RL stuff came up and the GM wasn't able to begin recruitment. I can almost guarantee you'll have close to a dozen interested parties by this time tomorrow - including me. :-)
By your post then this will be a recruitment. the character creation guideline should be posted up tomorrow. This will be a one post a day if not more since this is a heavy combat related game. I was thinking about 6 lvl 4 pc's max gold and 20 point buy. I might increase it but I will think more about it tomorrow.
As I mentioned in a PM: I'd be heavily interested in this game as I hope to run it in four or five months (Once a month live game) when I've more time on my plate. I've got the time to play a PBP (Running one is a bit more work, though.)

Ugh. Lame. Retract that. I was quite tired when I submitted my interest last night. My interest is very, very high but as I said, I intend on playing this adventure and in four or five months we won't be far enough to justify my inclusion. Once I start running it I will have too much knowledge of the terrain to find it properly enjoyable at pbp pace. The slot I might fill would be better served by another player.
I look forward to talking to you regarding our private messaging.
On behalf of the community, thanks for running this awesome adventure.
Consider me very interested. Once character creation guidelines are set I will submit something. I already have several ideas swirling in my head.
I'm not familiar with Rappan Athuk, but I just read a bit about it and it sounds awesome. And a killer. I'd love to participate.
Very interested! I'll wait for character creation rules before coming up with something. I have a few character ideas I've wanted to try out...
this thing is a meat grinder. Have you considered using mythic rules?
interested
Also interested, waiting for character creation rules.
sounds interesting I might have a chaarcter idea already just want to see th rules.
I'd be interested in that. How many posts per day are you looking for? Which timezone will you be posting in? (I'm on GMT+0)
Edit: I see 1 post per day, which is fine for me :)
Interested.
VERY interested in Rappan Athuk. I joined a non-pbp Rappan Athuk game some time ago but, after an intro session, the GM canceled it. Have a few ideas but would need to see the character creation guidelines.
this thing is a meat grinder. Have you considered using mythic rules?
That is always a consideration depending on how the Role playing goes and the difficulty.
The rules
At least one post a day.
Lvl 3
20 Pt buy
All raced allowed 3rd party stuff will need to check in with me
all classes are allowed but 3rd party stuff will need to be checked in with me. If you pick a eastern class or a class where items might be harder to obtain loot might be scarce for you.
No score below a 8, after racial adjustment.
2 traits
hero points are used
No real alignment restrictions, except you must work well together seeing as how the game is extremely difficult.
Max HP’s level one and two, thereafter you roll HPs. Reroll 1’s.
No more than 50% in one item. Do not multi-class - yet.
Every character gets the innate ability to heal themselves 1d4+con modifier HP, 2/day, as a standard action.
If you get accepted remember to have a back up character at least an idea in your head just in case something happens and you can't revive him. I don't try to actively kill pc's but stuff happens especially with this campaign.
Speaking of characters from dead campaigns, I'd like to have another try with the troubled Captain Johnson (retired).
He's currently level 2, but if you find the concept interesting I'll bring him up to level 3 and tailor the background to fit into your campaign.
Another character from a dead campaign
I went ahead and leveled Captain Johnson, and removed the campaign specific bit from his background.
A character not from a dead campaign. Background is incomplete. Eidolon is unfinished.
Allose is an atypical Aasimar master summoner - a servant of Iomedae who trains celestials to fight on the martial plane in preparation for the "final war". His eidolon is a Couatl that sent him to Rappan Athuk because "it would be a good test for the troops". The Eidolon stays out of the way most of the time but can give advice (knowledge checks) to the summoner.
Presenting for consideration this character.
Still a work in progress. Rolling for third level hit points.
That will give him 34 hit points total.
Very interested
I am also interested and would go for an angelkin aasimar paladin of Iomedae that is small sized and looks like a Halfling. Sent down to aid a network that frees slaves he has worked to help out the smaller folk from oppression.
Considering submitting this character. I can level her down to three and make any adjustments later today.
Well here is my entry but need to level him up
Azim was in WoTR game that died. So would like to submit him here.

Azim grew and studied at the temple. He became good friends with a young girl there. Her name was Hana. She had hair orange as the sun. Her eyes green but seem to almost flicker as a flame would. The two grew close and even trained together as battle dancers. Azim didn't have the grace that Hana did, but was able to come into his own at the art.
Hana was a couple years ahead of Azim, and finished her training. The two didn't say goodbye. They simply told each other until we are together again. Hana was going to the worldwound as many from the temple have. Azim would follow and they would bring the fight to hell together.
Azim was very devout in his worship. Not long after Hana had left he started receiving visions. He knew these images to be Sarenra herself. She blessed him and told him he was destin to take up her mantle not only as a battle dancer, but also as a a paladin in her name. He would do this once joining the fight at the worldwound. As his training grew to and end he was strong both in faith and body. He was now ready to not only find Hana, but to accept his destiny.
Azim now finds himself in the city of Kenabres. He has been searching and asking for Hana for only a day. He has been to the local temple and learned Hana has not been seen for days now. He hold her spirit in his heart and has yet to think the worst. He has read the texts of Yaniel and knows his enemy. He now makes preparations to search for Hana more.
How do you want to do the HP for Animal Companions, Eidolons, etc.?
I think I will offer my services with unbeugsam, my dwarven inquisitor.
How do you want to do the HP for Animal Companions, Eidolons, etc.?
I think the same way for pc's should be fine.
I made this fun Cavalier for a defunct game. Might work for this campaign.
Would like to submit Kallen for consideration. No fluff at this point, but all the crunch is there.
Presenting for consideration this character.
hey there Bey nice to see you again...
and no I did not submit Annie here
Putting forth interest with this follower of Pharasma. Maybe Cleric or Inquisitor or even warpriest.
Still here, still interested. Should be finished later today.
Just waiting on everyone's submissions.
will finish the crunch tonight (late) I am EST time zone and am at work till about midnight.
HP ...of course
Alright cruch done for my skill monkey rogue all done, I don't know much about this dungeon so I bought a ton of gear, ready for anything.
Also DM, are you a straight up by the book combat, or can I use skills and items to help out?
HP 1d8 ...of course

This is a extremely difficult dungeon so be very wary more info here http://paizo.com/products/btpy8ual?Rappan-Athuk. If you can find creative ways to use items or skills I am all up for it.
I read, FULL of traps before and decided "I'll bring my own traps!" So I gots marbles, wire, razor saws, glass cutters and all kinds of other goodies for looting the sh#$ out of this super dungeon!
And I'm finished. Let me know if there's any more background or motivational info you want. I have a minor quibble about his gear, but it's basically a matter of deciding whether I want to swap out his warhammer for a morningstar, or keep the warhammer and add a good piercing weapon, or just stand pat.
Changed my mind. Going to be an oracle of life. Loosely following the ideals of pharasma/circle of life kinda thing

I am confused on your character. Are you a vampire or have you not altered that yet because the no con score high natural armor is confusing. I am not sure I will allow special templates unless they are CR + 0 but you will still have to check up on me.
Rolling for HP for level 3.
