Starting at book one The Snows of Summer.
Looking for a 4-5 player group. 20 pt buy or roll 4d6 and drop lowest if you prefer older methods. Core + APG only as I do not own UM, UC, or ARG. Ultimate Equipment is fine. Standard starting wealth. 2 traits if desired.
Please spoiler your character here if interested. Let's shoot to have recruitment ended by Friday 4/12/13.
Dotting.
This is Kjell (pronounced "shell"). He could fill a number of roles, depending on what the party needs him for.
I would like very much to play this AP. I post daily, or very nearly so.
Sunderedhero....I havent looked into VTTs so it is strictly PvP...but I will use Google drive to make maps.
I would like to apply with the aspiring two-weapon weilding Ulfen Ranger, Verak Grimwolf.

Verak has only known the harsh life of the north. He was born into a large Ulfen family. His family was quite poor and we was tired of being viewed simply as another mouth to feed. He had become quite skilled at hunting and trapping food. A local guide, Fenris Valeward noticed his unique abilities and took him on as an apprentice.
Verak accompanied Fenris for two years until the fateful day a direwolf pack ambushed them at night, during Verak's watch. Verak had fallen asleep during his watch, and was woken by a dire wolf trying to chew through his armored gorget. A bloody fight ensued. Fenris fought viciously and nearly killed most of the wolves himself. Verak mainly helped dispatching them with finishing blows. When it was all over, Verak found himself holding his mentor in his arms, as coughed out blood, trying to speak. He never did manage to get a word out before he died but his look said it all. He was disappointed.
His body and pride wounded, Verak wandered in a daze southward wanting to leave the north and its memories behind him. He eventually found himself in Taldor and recently has stumbled across a small village named Heldren.
Having endured the harshness of the north much of his life, Verak is a man who smiles seldomly and has little use for luxuries. He considers himself a man of honor and integrity. His reputation is important to him, which is why he continues to hate himself over what happened nearly 1 year ago. The only effective method he has found to cloud those memories is excessive consumption of liquor. He only drinks though when he is not currently engaged in work.
Tyndas here brings melee support, nature magic and survival assistance.
I would be interested in playing. I'm on these boards a lot. I've been working up Beneš, a Varisian cleric of Pharasma and Harrow deck fortune-teller (yes, I know most people think it's just women who do that, but Mom thought I had what it takes to do it).

I'll get a full equipment list if I get picked
Aye, just ask yer questions, don't got all day for this
Aye, well ya see, this place just got that natural draw to it. Can't really describe it. I get a bit homesick of it sometime and just gotta come back and check on all the folks. But after while I get homesick of the forest ya know, and then I gotta be off on my way again. Oh, and them witches ain't gonna be dying on their own either, they need a little help from me. Ha!
Growin' up in these parts preps you fer all kinds of things, ya learn to deal with a variety of persons, there be many interesting ones you can meet. But, always, and when I say always I mean it, ALWAYS be careful about the unknown, ne'er know when they be bout to stab you in the back. That's why this eye (points to his right eye) always be looking round fer danger.
I hunt witches! E'eryone knows that, don't be silly.
More? I go out into the forest, track, find, and kill witches. Ain't nothing more than that. They set clever traps sometimes and I gotta figure em out, but then when I do Myr (pats his falchion) comes out, he just loves when head roll.
Kill ALL the witches! Gonna be a witch killin hero, that's where I'll end up. Now I'm done with yer stupid questions. Colberg gets up and storms out with a huff. Now that was a waste of my times. grumble grumble grumble.
Colberg is very gruff and hates when people waste his time. When Colberg was younger he had a terrible encounter with a Witch who killed his pet wolf, Jagros. and now he is out to kill ALL the witches. This revenge has him traveling all over the Taldor and a bit of Irrisen. he loves to travel and he loves animals, especially wolves and likes to keep them as company, though he hasn't found one quite like Jagros.
He is a very cautious individual and takes his time when it comes to anything important, and hates when he is rushed for any reason. Though he is rough around the edges he has a great love of animals and anyone who shares that love will see a side of him they never thought existed.
And I of course meant PbP not PvP.
this character was in a RoW, but had to drop out, would love to give it another go
@Pendin Fust
There's an archetype in the "Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Inner Sea Magic" that's probably pretty relevant for RoW. It's called the Winter Witch. Would you be open to it?
cheers

I too am curious about the winter witch.

Submitting Asmar Eriksson. Rondelero Fighter!
Dotting. Have something up in a bit.
I am interested (this is my first character and post on paizo.com). I played D&D 3.5 a few times in PbP and I have read a lot about Pathfinder, but I have no actual play experience with it yet. Darius is a Human Oracle, with profession writer, poet, healer. I still need to develop his background.
Interested.....
Way the paizo roller is,I'd rather go with the points. :)
I'm thinking a fighter type....
Quzman, Half-Elf Quadiran wandering bard
Abandoned as an infant, he was raised by a priest of Sarenrae in a small town. The old priest taught him the precepts of his religion and a wealth of information acquired on his years of travels, Quzman learned general knowledge, languages and even use of the scimitar and how to survive in the hostile Quadiran desert.
After the old priest died of natural causes, Quzman found that knowing about distant lands wasn't enough, and set forth to experience it firsthand.
Being poor but talented, he got a spot helping a troupe of itinerant entertainers, from one of them he learned to draw arcane power from his performances.
Tired of touring Quadira, Quzman set forth to visit the northern Taldor. Taldorans mistrust his Kelish looks and mannerism, but his natural charm and his skill playing the Setar never fails to win at least some smiles.
Slowly making his way north, he lodged in the Silver Stoat in the small town of Haldren. The community reminds him of his childhood in Quadira, and tough he’s waiting for the appropriate opportunity to move on to Taldor’s capital, he is in no hurry to leave, as the locals enjoy his performances and his tales.

LOL I think I will stick with the 20 pt buy as Dorvren was built with.
Note I need to remove a single Trait and remove his extra money.
Winter Witch is acceptable since it is flavorfully a good match.

Ummm... I think you have to choose 1 or the other - not both. I don't think the GM meant "roll 4d6 method and you don't end up with uber scores that you want then use the 20 point method" :)

PS Is your "standard starting wealth" maximum or average?
Sweet! Played for years on GITP, but now looking here as well.
Rolls
Paladin on board. Holy tactician if maps are used. Can be the main tank
I have a basic background now and changed a few details in the character. I took a trait from the player's guide of Reign of Winter (Restless Wayfarer), adding a recommended language for the region.
Just for the hell of it, lets take a look at rolling (she was made using 20 pt buy)

I'm interested, and thinking of playing something new. Looking at a Half-elven, Dual-cursed (Lame/Wasting), Lore Oracle.
I will throw it together and post it before recruiting ends.
Remember everyone rolling...drop the lowest 1d6 in each roll. :)
Dotting. Will have something up in 4-6 hours when I get back from work and look over the players guide properly.
I thought I was a choice, or I wouldn't have rolled, well gm's call if he selects him
Just spends two hours building my Boreal human Sorcerer .... and somehow lost the profile. Can I use mythweavers or something? I'll do it all again tomorrow.
Dorvren you can choose...if it is too OP of a roll I might ask to tone it down a bit.
Decided. Inquisitor of Erastil. Will have a character up after work.
Ok, Updated with rolled stats.
I'm interested. I'll try the randomness and see how the dice treat me today:
Hmmm. . . . not bad. I'm thinking Alchemist, later going into Master Chymist
Would you allow the Splash Weapon Mastery feat from "Adventurer's Armory"?
Hm. Let me think about the implications.
I'm considering rolling as well, just to see....
I don't think I will allow Splash Weapon Mastery...mainly because I don't own that book. But I also don't like that it allows you to basically skip getting Point Blank Shot before getting Far Shot...especially since those feats would already affect your bombs.
The problem with winter-themed characters:
This AP actually starts in a small town in TALDOR, where I don't know if it even snows in winter.
How would you justify being a winter witch or any other cold-themed character?
There's a few ways I can think of off the top of my head. But the location of the small town is generic enough that it could be placed anywhere.
Ryuko here. Long day, decided to hit the hay before typing up fluffy bits but here's Devlin, an inquisitor of Erastil taking after his father, a priest of Erastil, and travelling through Taldor at the moment. Young, naive, and full of dreams. Lemme know what you think.
Here's Jorgo, half-orc alchemist.
Not every half-orc is born of violence.
Jorgo was the son of Tragor and Raza, two half-orcs working as shock troops in the mercenary company called Ramsay’s Roughnecks. His first years were spent in the mercenary camp, here and there, going where his parents’ commander got a contract.
Far from being traumatized, Jorgo had a tough but pretty happy childhood: his parents were very good at their job, which meant steady income and few serious injuries. They loved him and their comrades in arms started caring about the little runt running around camp as if he was their mascot.
During the battles, Jorgo usually stayed with the quartermaster and the healers, learning how to tend to the wounded, how to find useful herbs in the woods, and how to use his brains in addition to his brawn.
He was growing larger and stronger every day and everyone thought he would eventually become a Roughneck himself.
However, when his real training began, he found himself unable to conjure up the indomitable rage that made his parents so deadly in battle. He was strong enough and skilled with an axe, but without the blind fury he was no Roughneck.
But what he lacked in rage, he got in determination and intelligence. He parted from his parents and from the mercenary camp, assuring he would be back, worthy of fighting at their side. He used the skills in herbalism to get gigs as an apprentice to skilled healers and alchemists, learning bits and pieces of the craft.
Finally, a few months ago, he found in the woods of southern Taldor just the plant he was looking for. By refining its juice and adding a few chemicals, he was able to concoct a cocktails that awakened in him a passable imitation of his parents’ rage! Most exciting day in his life!
Jorgo took residence in Heldren, a small town just close enough to the Border Wood to guarantee him a steady supply of the herb for his experiments. He just needs to improve the recipe a bit, and then he will be ready to be a true Roughneck!

@Votun Raveneye
Just noticed your Standard Starting Wealth question. Maximum :)
Also, can you break down your point buy for me? You get +2 Int for Elf, +2 Dex for Elf, and -2 Con for Elf. So I'm guessing you bought 17 Int, 14 Dex, and 12 Con? Just want to make sure my math is right.
I'd be slightly worried about being a glass cannon :)
