In the interest of answering my "What AP should I play next?" questions and thinking that others might have a similar question, I had put together a series of surveys that I posted on Reddit related to every released AP (that has been out long enough for groups to have played it). I thought to share it here, since others may have interest in both participating and benefiting from the results. If anyone wants to contribute it would be much appreciated! I also plan to share the individual queries to their respective boards.
Finally, as the show was finishing and the crowds were beginning to disperse, Almara took everyone aside. She handed them each a pouch of gold. "Your payment, as promised. Though I assure you, I will always be in your debt. I honestly don't know what we would have done without your help. I would have certainly left town either wanted or ruined..." She let out a long sigh of relief. "But fortunately you were here." She considered for a moment, "That reminds me! I don't suppose any of you are still looking for work? I have a friend who asked me if I knew of any good people for a job I think you might enjoy...." Almara explained further, "My friend is mounting and expedition to explore the jungle on the isle of Jalmeray. He was asking me if I knew any smart people who would be able to handle themselves against the creatures in the jungle. Perhaps its not in your lane, but maybe it is something you would be interested in?"
Setting up the campaign threads for the new game. Will retire the previous game once everyone has dotted over here.
Usually Illsurian is a quiet town, where local foresters and fishermen go about there daily business with little excitement. That changed yesterday when the Umbra Carnival and their fleet of circus wagons arrived in the fields outside of town. When a contingent of Varisian circus folk came into town to buy supplies and to hang up colorful posters in every neighborhood, Illsurian was abuzz. Some more conservative folk in the town grumbled about the Varisians, muttering about the kind of immorality the performers would no doubt promote. However most were intrigued by the circus's arrival, many rushing to the outskirts of town to sneak a peak of the coming attractions. Today morning a parade of circus folk begins marching through town in a spectacle of sights, music and drumming. Banners and streamers herald a procession of clowns, stilt walkers and tumbling acrobats, all of whom wave eagerly to the townspeople, Carnival barkers call out to the people on the street, inviting them to the carnival's opening and encouraging the curious and idle to follow the procession's end to the carnival grounds. "Come one! Come all! To the Umbra Carnival! Thrills! Chills! Delights for people of all ages! For but a few copper pieces, come have an experience you will never forget!"
Opening up discussion. Come on down and introduce yourselves.
Everyone in the fishing town of Ilsurian is excited when the legendary Umbra Carnival rolls into town—even if the show is run by members of the much-maligned Varisian ethnic group. With strange and exotic beasts, scandalous performances, games of chance, and all the other fun of a traveling fair, who could resist such an opportunity for entertainment? Unfortunately for both the town and the circus, entertainment isn’t the only opportunity the carnival presents… Welcome to the recruitment thread for GM Ancalima’s Murder’s Mark! This is a entertaining little module that deals with a mysterious murder, mob justice and racial tensions between Chelaxians and Varisians.

Note about Formatting: Here is an example of how I like to format character sheets for PbB games. This exact format is not required. However, presenting your application in a way that is easy to read will make my life a lot easier and thus increase your chances of being selected.

About the town of Ilsurian:
The town of llsurian in Varisia was established by Ilsur, a First Sword of the Knights of Aroden in the city of Korvosa. With the crumbling of the Chelish Empire, Ilsur wanted a militant-leaning meritocracy to replace noble rule in Korvosa, but had to eventually concede defeat roughly 80 years ago. He marched his troops to the west bank of the Skull River where it empties into Lake Syrantula, and awaited a chance to return and seize Korvosa by military force. He died waiting for the opportunity, and his army gradually transformed into a strong community of independent fishers and foresters owing loyalty to neither Korvosa nor Magnimar. The soldiers brought by Ilsur and their descendants are ethnic Chelaxians, and most of them have the strong features, pale skin, and dark hair of that group. Most of them also harbor prejudice against the native Varisians, and believe the stereotypes that Varisians are thieves and layabouts. Since very few permanent residents of Ilsurian are ethnic Varisians, this racism has rarely been a problem. Yet all that changed when Ilsurian became the latest stopping point for a traveling circus known as the Umbra Carnival.
Expand About Me:
I've been playing Pathfinder since around 2011 and I have been my group's main GM since 2013. In my real life games, I take a lot of pride in the fact that I have finished every adventure that I ever set out to run. I am a big believer in picking content that I will maintain my interest long term, setting up realistic expectations from the start of the game and surrounding myself players that I enjoy playing with. I first started playing Play by Post games here on the Paizo forums in 2014 and I enjoy the format a lot. I like the opportunity to role play characters in ways that I could never pull off in an in person game. I like that the slower pace sometimes allows for character moments that would have gotten lost in the rush of an in a face to face game. What I don't love about Play by Post gaming is when the GM vanishes into the night and a great game falls apart, since a replacement GM is much harder to find than a replacement player. So, I have decided to try bring my cockroach like consistency to the table and try my hand at running a game! However, instead of jumping straight in with an Adventure Path, I want first get my feet wet with a module. So here we are!
Expand FAQ:
What kinds of characters/players are you looking for?
For the PCs themselves, I am mainly looking for submissions that have personality. Your chances of being selected will go up exponentially if you have painted a clear picture of who your character is and how I can expect them to interact with the game world. For players there are two primary things I am looking for. First, I am looking for strong role players who will aim to interact with the world, the NPCs and most importantly, the other player characters. Second, I am looking for players who seem like they will be consistent posters and committed to completing the module. Have you ever spent a week actively RPing in a thread, even though the GM was on vacation with no internet? If so, you are the type of player I want! Is there anything that will hurt my chances of being selected?
How many players are you recruiting?
What will be the pace of the game?
Are you recruiting based on party role?
Do I have to create an alias?
Can I RP in the recruitment thread?
Do you plan to continue with the same group after this module is done?
Why did you cut secrets and relationships from the 10 minute background? Can I still have them?
The 10 Minute Background format doesn't really fit the way I want to write my character. Do I have to use it?
Recruitment will close - Monday, July 2nd at 8:00AM EST/GMT-4
I created a survey about the different Paizo Adventure Paths. The idea was based on a discussion on Reddit that lots of posters come to message boards asking "What is the best AP for X?" and it might be nice to have some data that people could look at. I figured I would share the survey here because:
So here is the survey:
