Amgir, do you want the full character before you choose or just backstory and concept first?
I will be picking the group based on the back stories, concepts and how well people may work with others in the group. Once everyone has been selected, there will be a couple of days before the campaign starts. During this time everybody can sort out everything and make any final changes.

I would like to enter Razule Yrrum, ex-Little Lamm and alchemist.
I believe all I would need to change mechanically is adding 5 more ability points and checking to see if his equipment was bought with max-gold. I might change him to a Chirurgeon Alchemist as well.
I turned the traits he has into his background, if that is okay.
Im intrested will have a character up later today :)

No I am actually quitting everflame so I don't pile on too much. I just have no interest in that campaign at the moment and would rather have Fealix here. So I will be changing his stats to adjust as well as his story.

Probably too late for this but just in case.... I have have the pleasure of playing with Shanosuke and Roidage, who may know my character Tarvinda. Anyway here's a Cleric of Pharesma that has started a Curse of the Crimson Throne campaign before, but it got canned when another in the party made it too difficult for the rest and the DM. If there's a chance, I'd sure like to get him in a CoCT game.
His back story is on the character sheet for your perusal.
This recruitment shall close at 21:00 (GMT +0) on Friday 28th October. So make sure you have sorted out stats, traits, back stories, etc by then.
I would like to thank everybody in advance for showing an interest in this campaign, knowing that I am doing this for the first time.
I will withdraw Iolana as Parneth was a member of the group I apparently "killed" for being rational and not following the oracle who wrote in her backstory "I will be party face."
Have a good one, guys.
I haven't decided on the group yet, if Perneth doesn't get accepted, would you be willing to play?
I'll post a character this evening.
Most likely will be a dwarf inquisitor of Abadar

Updated her background with the Durg Addict trait. Going with her being relatively new to town, Lamm introduced her to the drug and basically left her for dead. She's a bit blinded by vengence and if not careful could land herself in trouble with the law. She has yet to fully adjust to Korvosa's harsh law.
Dotting for interest... will try to have a concept up shortly...
Aye.
The situation was thus. Obviously, if you take a look at her stats, Iolana is built like a "wizard light" who has extensive experience in management. I purposely made her older, and took no positives to physical stats so that she would fill a purely support role. I thought I was a shoe in for party leader, and was roleplaying towards that position.
We were informed from the start that the city was in turmoil, and the GM made it abundantly clear that people were frightened and that there was something larger going on in the city. We were told that the streets were essentially empty everywhere, and the guard was stepping up patrols to quell incidences of violence that were cropping up after several riots broke out.
Iolana had several reservations about the party's plan to simply kick in Lamm's door when A) the streets were empty, and he like us was in a position not too far from the garrison when patrols had been beefed up specifically to quell violence B) Lamm had at his disposal a thief which Iolana thought may be capable of setting even rudimentary traps the party would be unaware of which may harm everyone, seeing as the fishery was their home turf, and C) there were children that Lamm could put between himself and us which could have been harmed in the crossfire if we were not exceedingly careful.
The oracle's position was "Well, the cards told us everything is going to be okay" and expected the remaining members of the party, a total of five, to simply follow her out into the completely abandoned streets as though such a large party would be completely unnoticed.
Every argument I had Iolana present was quite rational, and every one was ignored by the party because I was being too combative towards the 16 year old girl who presented no better argument for her "leadership" than "Desna will provide." I found that in a PbP, that was deplorable, and worse still, stating in your history/concept that "I will be ANY position of authority in the party" is just ludicrous, because that is something the party comes together and decides.
I will withdraw Iolana as Parneth was a member of the group I apparently "killed" for being rational and not following the oracle who wrote in her backstory "I will be party face."
Have a good one, guys.
Geez. Too bad. I really liked Iolana.

I don't mean to be a pain, just seems like you have 3 or 4 characters put into 1 character profile.
Ah okay, just got confused is all.

I would like to offer Marcus the Unwanted, a tiefling Alchemist(Beastmorph). All is in his Alias, also before you ask about the money I took the Rich Parents trait and it is worked into my story but if you don't want me to have that trait let me know I can change it. Had fun making him, I hope you enjoy his story!
Base stats for Krill for perusal Amgir.
I'll go Chirurgeon. It's a path I hadn't thought of Raz to take before. Also, thank you for the compliment. Raz is the first character I've changed trait wording for.
Now, one last thing(other than discussing what you suggested with Tyler's player). What are your thoughts on Razule being a really recent, ex-Little Lamm? Not really a kid still but not an adult? The idea of an ex-LL wanting to stop Lamm and free the other LL's appeals to me.
@Tyler: Amgir suggested that since we both have the "Tortured" trait, I might have you in Razule's background. Thoughts?
To be honest as well, that's what made me the most angry. That the GM set up the long game that early, and then when my character used the long game to justify her very rational decisions not to simply kick down the doors two blocks from the garrison, he "couldn't work with the character." That no one appeared to even bother to read her arguments or my page long explanation and defense of them but simply stated "Iolana is being too combative for the game to continue to exist" was also infuriating. It was if, as a group, they decided to view her caution for the group as a whole when she was addressing the Oracle as a personal attack against the Oracle because Iolana used the word 'Girl' to refer to a 16 year old girl.
If you don't want characters to work within the long game, don't make it an issue. If someone tells me "there's riots in the streets, people have died, guards are everywhere and people are afraid to leave their homes" don't then tell me that a character with 16 intelligence, a positive wisdom modifier and according to her history, actual experience leading men and women through very lean times shouldn't take that into consideration when the party is planning an assault.

My introduction was merely a statement of fact of Parneth's game history, I'm sorry it caused such furore, it wasn't the intention, as I didn't remember it was Hu5tru's character Iolana.
The decision to close the game was one taken by the GM, as far as I could tell. One or two players found they had problems with Hu5tru's character. The GM decided the rifts in the party were too great, Parneth was basically left in the middle, that whilst he thought Hu5tru's character was a little different, he was on the whole working with her. He might not have agreed with her stance on everything, it wasn't anything he couldn't have worked with. In fact I hasten to say that Parneth was the only character Hu5tru had any sort of positive relationship with.
I was shocked when suddenly the game stopped, perhaps I should have been reading the OOC thread more. It was a shame 'cos it was about to start getting interesting....
Like I said, it didn't go that far...a short start and quick end
Hit points for first level will be max, as per usual. Once the group has been selected, the lucky chosen players will be asked to post in their opinions on whether they would like to roll HP at each level, or if you would like half +1.
Okay, I should be done now. I had a bit more gold to spend(healer's kit and another cure potion) and bumped my Dex from 14 to 16.
Yeah. Most of my problem was with the Oracle's player who seemed to completely ignore the wisdom of her elders because she was right. I offered several suggestions and tried to explain to her why her plans would not work, and was simply ignored.
I had no problem with Parneth, actually it was one of Iolana's first suggestions to go to the temple and try to figure out what was going on in the city, as she very much doubted a larger group headed to the temple would be accosted.
I can work with Parneth if we're both chosen.
And that was my very first PbP and have since learned the "no first person" rule.
Ah, mentioning first and third person posts, in the games I am currently playing I always play in first person as I find it helps me get into the mind of my character better. However if you do not like 1st person you can play in 3rd. There are no restrictions in my games.
I can do either. And yes, typing "I" does do a world of difference when distinguishing character motivations from player motivations.
"I am here and ready to go."
Hold on. Were doing this again? Well I hope that things will be more exciting this time around don't you?"
"Things are in dire straights indeed. It is a good thing I am prepared."
Ah, I remember the last time you said that. We got fooled by a wizards and you nearly died. Not one of your finer moments.
"I thought we agreed never to speak of that again."
I never agreed to that. You just thought I did :p
"You really know how to get on my nerves."
Your like an open book in here. Oh I really like this chapter.
"Must you always antagonize me?"
I find it brings out the best in you.
"*sigh*"
Cheer up. I have been with you for your entire life. I have been a better friend to you than anyone. You have suffered a lot and have returned that suffering onto others. You still have much more to do yet before you can correct those who have wronged you.
"I know. I look forward to it. When I get my hands on Lamm it will be the most fulfilling release I have had in a long time."
I'll be here with you.
"I know. Thank you. Your the only being in this miserable world that makes sense. Not to mention you understand my suffering better than anyone."
Now your getting mushy on me. Lets go and take care of business and not get caught okay?
"Right"
Tyler has a lot of scars on his back which he is trying to hide and would like them to heal quickly, so maybe you can help me find a way for them to heal? Or you took pity on the halfling getting beaten and left to take the blame?
I am happy to go with anything you say though.
Here is a slightly refined and updated character profile for the aforementioned Cale Stoneweaver.
Please let me know if you need anything else.
Before I reveal who is accepted, I would like to say that you all made this a very hard decision as you all made great characters.
So here it is, the moment you have been waiting for. The following are the players who have been chosen:
Tyler Dylan
Caim Sevire
Iolana
Fealix
Krill Thirstslaken
Razule Yrrum
The Curse awaits you here : Discussion Thread
For everybody who didn't make it, I am very sorry. I wish I could do 2 campaigns, unfortunately I am going to have my hand full trying to work out how to do one. But I will keep you all in mind, if we need any replacements.
Sorry once again
