No one knows who carved the cyclopean faces that perch on the cliffs below the city of Kaer Maga, gazing sternly upon the lands of Varisia below. Some say these visages depict the legendary Runelords of Thassilon, while others claim they represent deities far more ancient than the upstart gods of modern Avistan. Their depths are still unplumbed, their mystery still unsolved, for when you venture inside the mouth of a god, who knows what you might find?

Hello, everyone, and welcome to the recruitment thread for a PbP adventure beginning with the module The Godsmouth Heresy.

I’d like to make applying as easy on you (and, frankly, me) as possible. So I’m not asking for a full-blown backstory or completely fleshed out crunch. I’d just like a taste or sample of your character, by your answering the questions below.

Character Creation Guidlines:

These are just for reference. You can go ahead and build out a character if you want, but it’s not required for your application.

1) 20-Point Buy, 1st Level

2) Paizo races only. I’d prefer core and featured races, but I’m open to uncommon races (particularly for a game set in Kaer Maga) if the story and concept is interesting.

3) Choose two traits. You can't have more than one of each type of trait (regional, combat, faith, etc.) 

4) I'd prefer no evil alignments, but if it makes sense for your backstory AND you can play relatively well with others, I'll allow it.

5) Max HP at first level

6) Max starting gold for your class

No 3pp material will be allowed. I apologize if that causes any character development issues.


Backstory Questions:


1. Are you from Kaer Maga or a visitor there? 

2. What traits have you chosen and how do they tie into your backstory - I'd like more than a mechanic justification for your choices. 

3. What will your character contribute to the party mechanically, in and/or out of combat?

The More You Know:

Ideally, this game will continue beyond this initial module, following our newly formed party in their exploration and adventures in the wonderfully rich city of Kaer Maga.

I'm looking for 4 or 5 players. Because of this small number, it's important to have all four roles filled - martial, arcane, divine and skills. If you want a better shot of getting picked, don't apply with a character that already has a lot of applicants in that role.

I'm looking for at least one post per day, more if possible. If you can't post, just let us know. During combat, if you go 24 hours without a post, your actions will be botted.

If you lower an ability score to 8, there will be roleplaying consequences and should affect how you play your character. No score may be lower than 8.


Recruitment will be open until I feel like I have enough characters/players to choose from - I'm not certain when that will be, so get the apps in sooner, rather than later.
I look forward to seeing what everyone comes up with!
