Hello all, this thread is to gauge the interest from new players who are beginners to Play By Post gaming.
Who am I ?
I am new to Pathfinder game(from the Humble Bundle) but have participated in Play By Post rpgs in another forum in the past, and have played rpgs in parson as well. I’m a 40 year old working professional, hopefully that will make me responsible enough to compete a small game.
What is the proposed game?
This game will string together one or two of the Beginner Box Bash very short adventures, with characters starting out in Sandpoint as new hires into a local community service detail. Strange things are happening in Sandpoint as of late and the community needs to send people to look into it. The scene will begin in a tavern in Sandpoint and will probably range into the wilderness.
Who am I looking for?
I would like to GM a game for 4 totally new players, probably those who have just joined via the Humble Bundle, but anyone who hasn’t had a chance to join a game is welcome.
Basically the first 4 players who pose a short character concept or claim a premade character will get in. Please read the posts above yours to see if the class you want is already in use. It's ok to have multiples of any class, but variety is good too.
What if our party is some weird mix of all bards or some other non-optimized mix of classes?
That’s just how we’ll have to do it. Adapting to the situation will be fun!
What books are allowed for character creation?
Only the Beginner Box materials and Core Rulebook are allowed.
Can I use a pregenerated character?
Yes, you can choose from the four included in the beginner box or make use of the characters available from Pathfinder Society here:
Characters
Level 1 characters will be accepted.of any class from the Core Rulebook. You may create your own character or use one of the premade characters from the Beginner Box.
Character Creation guidelines
-You may build a character using the Purchase system, and have 20 points to spend.
PCGen can also support this Method of attribute creation, I like it a lot.
More details on the point buy (purchase) system can be found here.
-Max HP for your level 1 character
-Gold
Players start with the Average gold listed for their class as defined in the chart HERE
PC GEN
For Windows users there is a free computer program called PCgen. I to be very useful and I highly recommend it, give it a try, it can be found at:
HERE
There are other character creation tools also, remember to only use content from the core rulebook.
SPECIAL REQUEST
Please do both if at all possible:
1)Format the character sheet info in your account alias profile. (This is tedious to format, but please take the time to at least bold things.)
2)Create a PDF of the character sheet somehow and link to it in your account alias profile.
This is a helpful thread for sharing character info on these forums.
Time Commitment
I will at least read the forum every evening and post every 2 days. If I have some circumstance that delays me I’ll post an update.
Please endeavour to post at least every 2 days, especially if you feel like the group is waiting to proceed.
I am a new GM
I’ll make mistakes, but I’ll try my best. Let’s have a good time, and as long as we’re communicating it should be fun. If there’s any issue just communicate with me. If I make a mistake first forgive me and then gently correct me. It’s just a game.

I'll start the game when we get 4 players and get character sheets sorted.
Did I miss anything? Let me know and I'll add it to this post.
If interested please post with at least a Race/Class and short character description, then create the actual sheet when possible.
