I'm impressed at the number of people interested. This is the first time I've looked into playing as a play by post on these boards (I've been active before on other boards like RPoL), so I don't know if this is typical.

Is there just a lot of demand for GMs to run games? Or are new APs special in that regard?

@Rafael I am slowly working my way towards becoming a PFS GM. So I don't allow d20pfsrd as a habit. Although if I can't find it on the PRD that usually means it is 3pp so that's the other part of it.

Becoming a PFS Gm is certainly a laudable goal. But I would also say that, since you're going to be sitting at a browser running the game anyway, why not make use of a convenient online resource that's out there? Plus, d20pfsrd is pretty good at citing its sources. 3rd party stuff is pretty easy to identify as such.


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).

Stats:

NG Cleric 1 of Pharasma
Domains: Knowledge, Souls (subdomain of Repose)

Traits: Sacred Touch, Scholar of Ruins

Str 12, Dex 11, Con 13, Int 12, Wis 17, Cha 14
Trained skills: Diplomacy, Heal, Know (Geography), Know (religion), Sense motive (spent the 1st level favored class bonus on the skill point)

Feats: Selective Channeling, <undecided>

Background:
Beneš was the unusual only-child son in a long line of Varisian women fortune tellers. His mother decided that it was more important to continue on the family fortune-telling tradition than follow the tradition of handing the knowledge down to a daughter, so she started Beneš's instruction when he was a small child. Beneš took to the instruction well enough but with some differences. Beneš, for his part, was particularly intrigued with the stories of the death of Aroden, viewing them as chronicles of "the Day the Prophecies Died" and decided to pursue the arts of fortune-telling, prophecy, and the study of supernatural influences on the fate of the individual by becoming a priest of Pharasma. He can be seen with a beat-up deck of Harrow cards as often as a Pharasman prayer book.
