“You are hereby invited to attend the funeral and burial of the Esteemed Professor Petros Lorrimor He will be laid to eternal rest in “The Restlands” in town of Ravengro. Afterwards your presence is requested at the reading of his last will and testament."

-Kendra Lorrimor

17 days ago The Professor passed away. You received this letter by Raven a few days later and started to make your way to Ravengro for the funeral.

This adventure starts the morning of the funeral, 17 days after the professor passed and at the entrance to the Restlands. You can introduce your character as just arriving into town making your way to the cemetery.

Hello! Congratulations! If you made it this after you have been chosen to adventure with me into the grey and spooky land of Ustalav...the setting for Carrion Crown

I'm so excited to start this adventure with you

Carrion Crown Recruitment

This will be my first time GM-ing an Adventure Path as Play-by-post but I’m excited and have the time, it’ll probably be slower at first and then picking up in pace as I get into the hang of things. I’m looking for people to post at least once a day. And with that said here is what I'm looking for for this adventure.

-Create a 1st level character, with full HP as standard.

-20 point buy. After racial modifiers, no stat can go below 7 or above 18.

-Two traits, with one coming from the Carrion Crown Player's Guide. I am open to retooling or reflavouring the traits if someone has a good background that suits the campaign, but doesn't fall into one of the given backgrounds.

-Most classes and archetypes allowed, no Occult classes though please and no Summoners.

Gunslinger & Firearms

The PCs are aware of firearms, knowing them when they see them.
For Gunslingers:
Period of firearms is restricted to Early Firearms.
The pistoleer archetype is not allowed, to make the guns a little more hazardous.
Gunslingers are required to create and repair their weapons, as well as craft their bullets and make their own powder.

-Core races and Dhampirs, Skinwalkers, Tieflings, Fetchlings, Hobgoblin, Ratfolk and Duskwalkers

-Average starting gold for your class.

-Any non-evil alignments. Convincing me to allow an evil character is going to be a really hard sell and it's probably not worth the effort. That said, questionably-motivated characters of good or neutral alignments are okay.

-Please provide a solid background for your character. I intend to run a fairly roleplay-heavy game and really get into the campaign's fluff, so I'm looking for fleshed out characters, with backstories and personalities. I'm also showing heavy bias for characters who fit the tone of the campaign; characters who may be motivated by an encounter with dark creatures in their past, seek forbidden knowledge, or have dark secrets that may come to light in their time in Ustalav. Fluff-related archetypes are also appreciated, and overarching character motivations or aims are always amazing. I may reward depth before we begin play with little things; additional traits, bonus gold, a couple skill points... Give me something I like and I will not let it go unrewarded.

Please read the Carrion Crown Player's Guide , not only for the traits but also the sections for your class and race, as well as any setting bits, so you know about the setting going in.
Rules/Expectations/Etc.:

-I'd like to get a rate of at least one post a day going. Weekends might be more lax if the chosen players can't do weekends nearly as reliably, but regular weekday posting is a must to move at a decent rate through the campaign. Being able to post multiple times a day is also good. Please leave your time zone in the thread as well, for logistical reasons. Mine is EST (GMT -5).

-As stated above, this game will lean more on the roleplay side of things. There's no sense in playing a horror campaign as a dungeon crawl with mood music. I'd prefer players willing to get into things, interacting with the townsfolk and letting their characters get caught up in the story rather than seeking the next thing to stab. Write out posts with some detail and personality to them, more than just a line of dialogue or "He stabs the dude." Enjoy the atmosphere a little.

-Please spoiler your background, crunch, and such things when posting in the thread, just so it doesn't stretch the page out and leave people with a lot to scroll through.

-I'm open to considering house ruling certain things, and will likely do so myself in certain areas. If there's a particular change you'd like made to the rules as written, feel free to ask.

The final party will probably be 5 players. Please pay attention to what others are posting as well, if there are 17 wizards and 1 barbarian, the odds of that barbarian being picked are heck of a lot higher. But also post what you want to play. If you put in a character only to fill a gap but aren’t totally committed to that character it’ll show. I want people to enjoy playing their characters.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, and I'll get to them as soon as I can. Recruitment will probably last for a week if not two weeks depending on how many applicants we receive.

I am excited for this new adventure and I look forward to seeing what characters you guys come up with!
