Here's a submission from me! GM Sample (Kingmaker):
Oleg rolls his eyes. ”Those cursed politicians didn’t bother to so much as tell you what you were walking into, did they? I included details in my letter. There’s at least a dozen of them in Kressle’s band, and she aint collecting taxes for herself. They call their boss the Stag Lord, but I think only Kressle’s met the b@$$*%$ myself.”
Svetlana ladles a bowl of stew out, passes it to Alyssa, then fills one for Oleg, the rest of the party, and herself. She sits heavily in one of the few chairs in what’s obviously Oleg and Svetlana’s kitchen, sighing and rubbing her back for a moment, then starts off. ”Let’s start with introductions, travelers. I’m Svetlana Leveton, née Obriensk, and my husband is Oleg.” She pauses to let the party introduce themselves. Once introductions have happened, Svetlana continues, speaking quickly, an edge to her voice. ”The bandits started coming here in Kuthona, on the first of the month. Then, they had a full dozen, but the two that stood out were Kressle, a big woman with a pair of hand axes on her hips, and a cloaked man with a longbow who didn’t talk. Kressle told us if we didn’t give up our furs and what we’d traded from the trappers and hunters, she’d kill Oleg, burn the post down, and take me hostage.” Svetlana shudders, touches her stomach quickly, then continues, tears in her eyes. ”We p-paid. Oleg didn’t want to, but he didn’t have a choice. She even t-took the wedding ring Oleg had made for me…” ”The cloaked man came back with six of the bandits on the first of Abadius, and again on the first of Calistril.” Oleg interjects. ”Yes, but that time, he only had four men with him.” Svetlana smiles at her husband, but the smile has a lot of strain in it. ”In any case, they were supposed to be here this morning. The weather must be holding them up. They like to arrive within a half hour of sunrise, so I imagine they’ll be here tomorrow.” Player Sample (Skull and Shackles): Melli has to physically bite her tongue to stop herself from protesting the keel-hauling. Is Bloody Hour a daily activity? Pirating isn't all I've been led to believe! Nevertheless, she stays quiet and accepts her share of the food, drinking the rum as fast as possible before quickly chasing it with her meal. Before she can say anything, one of her fellow press-ganged would-be pirates tosses her drink overboard.
"It's rum, and it's terrible, even by most Shackles taverns' standards. If you're not going to drink your share, I'd be happy to have it in the future." When the halfling walks up, Melli sizes her up. "Well, if we're not fighting right now, I'm happy enough to be friends. I'm Melli. Where'd you two get picked up?"
I'm working on my submission. I may just steal some of my gameplay from the Kingmaker game I'm running. I'll post something here by tomorrow evening, though. For Strange Aeons, I'd like to play Oona or Lusian. For Curse of the Crimson Throne, I'd enjoy Wira. And for Rise of the Runelords, I'd prefer Vin. I'm open to any characters, though.
A. For GMing, why don't we do your run first, then GMs who are ready can type a fast pitch for their scenario. Players vote, GM randomly selects a squad. If we end up with 10ish players, we could even run two "teams". B. I'm not sure on this, to be honest. C. I'd prefer a good mix of different enemies. It can feel episodic, with only a little to tie it all together. D. Medium/high is fine with me. E. I can do 1x/day or 6x/week.
I was pretty active on the PbP forums, both GMing and playing, about 4 or 5 years ago. I GM'd through a few of the books of Kingmaker, played a bunch of different games, and did some PFS Gming as well. A coastal town could be a lot of fun. I'd enjoy some urban adventuring, I think, but that might be challenging with several GMs.
It was actually not rotating GMs, but a lot of different people GM'd it. Whenever someone had an encounter they'd built, they posted something. I have a couple cool encounters in mind, so I'd be willing to GM one or two times.
I remember there used to be a series of games on here that was one encounter, with a level up after every encounter or every other encounter. It was a blast with minimal commitment, and I'd potentially be interested.
I'd have mild interest. I'm not in love with 5e, but I'd consider it because Kingmaker is a blast. Thirding Archpaladin Zousha's questions.
How long do we have for our submissions?
Slight tweak to Aris'arial. I'm going with Arcanist (eldritch font) instead of (occultist).
Dotting for interest. I'll see what I can come up with.
I'd love to play in Kingmaker, Curse of the Crimson Throne, or Strange Aeons. To be honest, Strange Aeons may be the best game for this concept, haha.
Here's a link to my arcanist (occultist)/alchemist (mindchemist) elf, Aris'arial! She's a summoner and debuffer, primarily. I may switch her spells around a touch, and her items need some tweaking, but she's mostly ready.
I'm dotting in with an alchemist/arcanist idea that's slowly coming together. I'll let you know how it goes.
I'd love to play Kingmaker. I do have an "evil" character that could just as easily be written in her future neutral self that I'd love to pitch. I designed her to be viable with the party as evil, but can do either way. 
Call me crazy, but I'm glad the Smurf thing is still a thing.
I think Melli is ready to go. I might need to fiddle with the items a bit, but the build itself is ready.
Dot. I'm on it! I'll get something together for sure.
Hi. I'd love to play Skull and Shackles. 1. 1st edition would be better for me personally.
