I'll bite on that Archaeologist bard. I've been playing PbP for about a year in a custom campaign setting known as "The Wold".
We have a 10th Level campaign & a 2nd Level campaign with openings. That's Bonetown and Lakeview Passage, respectively (I play "Martisan" in Lakeview, if you're looking for my posting history). Rules are Core + APG on review/acceptance, with a whole slew of custom "Woldian" PrCs, feats, items etc all viewable on the Woldipedia
PM me for info if you're interested.
Otherwise, I've got nearly a decade now playing tabletop DnD with different groups.
Gotta stat the character out yet and produce a background. Is this set in Golarion? Can I make up names for cities/regions in the background, or is that frowned upon?
"We both know that's the case, Father, else I wouldn't be here." He says with an impatient grunt. "Historical calamities are a specialty of mine."
Coranth gives the priest a wink, clearly referring to the events that propelled the oddly bookish Half-Orc into his recent modicum of fame. "Purging the undead menace from the town of Heath required more investigation of the city's ancient foundations than actual battle with the evil spirits that took up unwelcome residence there. By all accounts, it sounds as if the virulence that's sprung up here will require similar detective work."
Raising an eyebrow, the Half-Orc leans in toward the other man. "I certainly hope you did not needlessly send for me, Father. Arduous as they are, taking this time from my studies does not come without some cost." As he speaks, the bespectacled Half-Orc's meek appearance seems to fade. Gone are any hints of nervousness; no longer does the greataxe strapped to the scholar's back appear so out of place. Despite his words, Coranth's tone makes very clear the outcome of those few battles he did fight against the spirits in Heath, with a promise of the same to come in Cairdus.
