Well, this was a tough call. So tough, in fact, that I had to take on six PCs instead of my intended five. Ah well, I'll just have to beef up the challenges and rewards as needed. With many thanks to all, and sincere regrets to those who were left behind...

Will the owners of the following characters please proceed to the Discussion Thread.

Tariro, Halfling Witch
Belias Manroth, Human Bard (Arcane Duelist?)
Aeresaria Lunadane, Human Paladin of Iomedae
Dragolan Canario, Human Oracle of Life
Kyson Chandler, Human Ranger
Nichelle Crassior, Human Rogue (Poisoner)

Again, I really appreciate the time and interest expressed by all those who posted here. I wish you all the best, and may you find the game you're looking for in the near future! :)

Cheers,
Jon

Whoo, lots of activity through the night! Let's go ahead and call the submission window closed now, I think I'll have no problem filling out a five person party from this lot. Thank you one and all!

Look for my decision to be posted later today.

If you're still accepting submissions....

I am, but probably not for too much longer. There are many good concepts coming in...

Whoops! I forgot we roleplayed how we got aboard the ship. The descriptions of whom she saw board might change, but here is the gist of it.

Excellent, thank you!

It was really the only one that sounded remotely like her to me. Maybe we can tweak it and say she is escorting supplies donated by the church and the extra coin is for travel expenses and donation to towns.

Okay, I could go for something like that.

Looks like you are still accepting submissions. If so, here is a brief summary...

Yep, still accepting submissions! Keep 'em coming, folks!

The PC is built with 20 pnts ?

20 point buy, that's correct.

Also is boarded in Varisa avialable and poverty-stricken.

I'd be okay with either of these traits.

scranford: Would it be possible for you to add a little bit to Tariro's history, explaining how she comes to be aboard the Jenivere? My plan is to begin the game with the cast members already boarded and having embarked on the voyage.

Is the Get the cargo through Trait available? It adds 300gp to starting cash, or we can just say she has 300gp total, if you approve.

I have no problem with the trait per se, but I do question how well it fits with your character's background. The description seems to imply a character with a mercenary bent, while you stated that Aeres 'volunteered' for escort duty. It seems a little un-paladin like to me.

Done with the initial concept, am waiting for your decision to create the char o switching to another

What class is your proposed character? Barbarian? I didn't see it definitely specified anywhere. In any case, this would be fine to run with.

Also...'Anatomist' is a fine trait choice.

As for 'Boarded in Cheliax'...that's fine too, but from the wording of the trait, I think it important that any equipment so purchased be justified by the phrase "mundane equipment to aid your exploration of the jungle". So some equipment choices may not be approved.

EDIT: Keep in mind, too, that you don't have to make the full character sheet now.

One question though, do i have a time limit ? to speed up things i write the char's background in italian, and then have to translate it.Won't take long anyway.

There's no set time limit. As long as the translation doesn't take terribly long, I'd say you should have no trouble being considered. In fact, it looks to me like you might already have it done (As you mention below).

Hey all! Luckily i saw this recruiting thread few seconds after its posting. I'm playing in a Kingmaker game as a female half elf sorcerer, and have plenty of time to post in another game ( GMT +1 if it is important, i can usually post in the morning-first afternoon )

Haven't a full concept yet, but i would like to try a tanking type, male human or dwarf ; don't know the SK AP, but i guess it is almost jungle exploring, so i think i'll roll a fighter suited for the outdoor or a barbarian. 20 points right ?

Gandal, the Serpent's Skull player's guide can be downloaded for free, so definitely check that out if you haven't already. It will give you enough background to get you going.

Great, interest already! I can't wait to see all of your ideas!

Salutations all,

I know that there are already several Serpent's Skull PBP games going strong on the boards, but I'm hoping the market isn't tapped out quite yet! If some of you are willing to give an 'old dog' a shot at trying something new, I'm really keen to give this a go.

I'm looking for five players who can commit to regular posting for this game. Core rules and the APG are on the table. Most material from the Companions line and such would also be okay, but please check with me first. No evil alignments, 20 point buy, 2 traits (one a campaign trait from the player's guide), average starting gold for equipment.

This is not a first-come, first-served game. Rather, I am seeking character concepts to review. At a minimum, please provide the race and class that you'd like to play. Note, however, that a more detailed concept will improve your chances! Inclusion of a physical description, personality, background, and motivation for boarding the Jenivere will all go a long way. A fully statted character sheet is not necessary at this time. However, creativity and good characterization are extremely important! Party balance will also play some role in my selections.

I would be willing to hold recruiting open for a few days, but if I find that there are numerous high-quality submissions right off the bat, I reserve the right to close up shop early on. So, if you're interested, don't delay too much.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. I hope there are still some good role-players out there who would like to get in on a compelling Serpent's Skull PBP. Hope to hear from you!

Jon
