I have some experience running both Adventure Paths and PbP games, but have no experience running a PbP Adventure Path. I'm looking for players who will be committed to this, as PbP games take A LOT of time. I'd actually prefer it if you would Skype me, rather than post here, as it's easier for me to access today. My Skype username is gibson.tyler . I can offer you any answers you have for me, and we can work on character designs.
Will you be posting character creation guidelines later / tomorrow? I don't realllllly want to install Skype just to get the basics figured out. :-/
I'd be interested, have a concept worked out. Just need to know what requirements you want.
I'm at work right now so no access to skype, but I do have it at home so I can contact you later.
Eh, Skype may be a difficulty for some people. In response, I need to know what you mean by guidelines? I'm pretty open to most ideas. If you look over the free PDF that gives you a pretty good understanding. I will want to run a prequel to better explain why everyone is where they are, but other than that, I'm pretty open.
TL;DR All Paizo-published Pathfinder materials are open game for this, pending that I approve it (Kitsune wanting to be on a boat? No.). Please just have EXACTLY one of the Campaign Traits from the Player's Guide. The rest is pretty open.
Wow my TL;DR was longer than my OP.

Yeah, information about banned classes/races is definitely noteworthy, but I had actually meant, I mean, I assume starting level is 1, but how many traits? One is campaign but how many others? 1? 2? And is it rolls or point buy, and if so how many of either?

Yeah, answers to these questions would help a lot in character creation.
Starting level is 1.
2 Traits. One from campaign, one from anywhere else.
Roll system. Roll 5, drop 1. Do that 6 times, then assign them accordingly. I'd prefer for this to be done after you've sent me the basics: Class, race, backstory, traits, etc.
I'm happy to answer any more questions.
If we're rolling stats, I usually come up with character concept after I see what I'm working with. I hope that's ok.
-2 = 14
-1 = 7
-2 = 11
-1 = 12
-3 = 22
-1 = 11
Hmmm, that's an interesting stat spread. This might take some thinking.
That's completely okay. I'll be waiting to see a character concept :)
I'm in the same boat as psychic. Nothing sucks quite like putting a ton of work into a character concept and then getting really s~$@ rolls that prevent you from making it because it's too MAD. (I'm looking at you, Monk.)
-1 = 17
-1 = 12
-1 = 12
-2 = 17
-1 = 9
-1 = 12
Well. Hrm. This will be... interesting.
Wow. Good luck guys! Remember, the basics I need are: Race, Class, Backstory. Feel free to get as creative as you wish with this. I like well fleshed out characters.
I am definitely interested in this!
I am a total newbie when it comes to PbP, but I am an experienced role-player/gamer.
If you're willing to be a little patient with my newb-ness (for instance, how do you do those rolling things I see in the messages above?) I'd love to sign on for this.
(I have a character concept from an attempt to join a different S&S game, an elven freebooter ranger, which I will probably try out here.)

Taffer,
You do [di.ce]5d6[/di.ce] without the periods. You can also add a description to what the roll is, which is super helpful for skill checks or attacks, like this: [d.ice=Perception]1d20+5[/di.ce]
It comes out like this:
You can also create Aliases for your different characters through your profile, and give them avatars and post as them and etc. It's also super helpful for tracking stats and stuff. For instance, Here's one of mine..

Thanks, YoricksRequiem! Let's see what develops....
-1 = 15
-1 = 13
-3 = 22
-1 = 16
-2 = 19
-2 = 19
Wow. That's...umm...nice. I can definitely work with that.

Whoa, nice rolls. BEGINNER'S LUCK.
So, you have to manually drop the lowest from each. But that's still really fricken good.
Are you sure you want roll 5 drop 1? That will make for an extremely high powered campaign.
I'm actually thinking about going to a 20-point buy system. I know, I know.. I suck at this. The last AP I had was bad because everyone was OP. However, I'd love to have a newbie! Just private message me a concept design

I am going to hold off creating my character until the method of ability score generation is decided on. I rolled some really good stats up there, and I'd hate to spend a day building a character around them, only to have to do it again if the method changes.

Here is a character concept I've been dying to try for this AP.
Behold, Chumtooth, the kuru.
Please consider this my application.
Is this going to be PBP, or on Skype? If it's PBP on here, I'll draw up something.

You sure you want this? That is a very high powered array of stats. More than 40 point buy right there.
It will be PbP on here. Perhaps some Skype time thrown in if we can get a time decided on. Further, I have decided on a 25 point buy system. I have 4 applications already, which are all extremely good. Anyone else who is interested, please send me a rough outline ASAP.
I'm sending some info to you on what I could see myself playing. Hopefully it'll peak your interest.
Yes, not 5d6. My mistake. I want 4-5 players. Also, just in case it matters to anyone wanting to play a caster, I do require you to use material components to spells. I know some GMs don't.
I was playing a human gunslinger in a mate's pirate-themed campaign. She was level 8 and had a 40-point buy and a grand dislocator musket. Good times, good times. I'll knock her back to 1st level and 25 points, then submit Aramis Steele for your consideration. I remember her being very acrobatic, climbing rigging and such, and providing ranged support with a musket. She was great fun, even if the campaign was ridiculously overpowered.
Presenting Aramis Elizabeth Mirian Steele. She should be in order, if someone more knowledgeable notices something amiss, let me know.

Any suggestions for changes/improvements are more than welcome! Also, if you spot any errors, please let me know!

Yorick here. I still have a bunch of crunch left to do. I got super caught up with writing the background, and ended up writing way more than any one person could possibly care about. But since I have the race/class/background mostly figured out, I think I can get the submission in now and then go over, well, everything in more depth while you're sorting through the submissions.
Here is my Cleric f Besmara. Background will follow.
I finally have most of my character information contained within this alias. I just need to fill in the background information now.

Okay, I now have a good number of submissions. I will review them later today and get back to those who are chosen. Thanks for the interest!
Anyone still here?
It's closed. Those who have been selected have been notified. Thanks for applying!
Does this mean, that I was not chosen? Because it seemed, that I was the only clerical spell caster.
