Alright everyone, so this was a really tough choice in a few different areas, and I ended up deciding to go with a 6 character party. There was a lot of great character submissions to look at that should easily be able to find a game (I'd seriously run a second table if I could afford the time right now). Now before I list the chosen party members, I figured that I'll give you all some insight based on my selections. I don't select based on roles straight up. I look at the character concept to start with. If the concept strikes me as something I would very much love to see played out, they stay there in consideration. After that I look at backgrounds and see how well I can involve the character into the story. I don't like to run walking stat blocks through a cookie cutter, so I like to add, change, modify, and whatever else to involve the character. After all, it's the story of the characters, I'm just providing the circumstances. Once I get those figured out, then I'll look at roles. So please don't take it as an insult if I didn't select your character. Like I said, it was really tough to go through this list because there were some extremely great concepts that I ended up not choosing for the reasoning that I didn't want them to feel left out of because I wouldn't be able to work them into the story as well as the other members of the party.
Sounds like the kind of DM I would want to play with.
I WILL get Pharithstilis into a RoTRL game one day... one day...
Congrats everyone who was selected, have fun!
