Hey guys, I've had a brief look at your sheets on DnD Beyond. I'm going to do one final sweep through, and once we are 100% good to go I'll knock out this initial post. I'm sorry this whole thing is taking so long, I promise that we will have the ball rolling by the weekend. Thanks for being so patient with the new guy y'all, i really appreciate it!

I've enabled content sharing on the campaign page through dnd beyond. You should now have access to way more character options if you haven't unlocked them yourself. Good to see a couple of you guys have jumped in already, I'll start working on an opening post for the campaign thread here so that we can get underway.

Sounds like point buy is the preferred method, so let's go with 27pt buy. I think we'll tentatively try google docs for tracking combat, we can always make adjustments as we go.

@Buckshot, honestly I liked both if your submissions so roll with whichever one you prefer.

For those you you with limited access to 5e resources, please check out this link to access the campaign on my dnd beyond page.

Gameplay thread is open!

Hey guys,

Please use this thread as a place for your OOC questions and discussion points, or general banter. Right now we need to decide on how you would like to generate stats for your characters, and what method of tracking combat (maps, theater of the mind etc) we are going to use. Throw your preferences and ideas at me y'all, and we'll make a democratic decision on how we'd like to proceed.

Hey all, sorry for the delay in responding. I have managed to come to a decision, and the selected players are below.

- Vrog Skyweaver

- Haydenmccullen

- Jubal

- Buckshot Bob

- Dreaming Warforged

- Scranford

Please feel free to dot in on the discussion thread whenever you're ready, and we'll begin fine tuning the character creation stuff. To all the applicants, thank you for throwing a hat in the ring.

Thanks for the heads up, warforged.

Recruitment is now officially closed. Stay tuned for a decision, expect a post no later than 24hrs from now. Thanks to everyone who applied and expressed interest, its greatly appreciated.

Hey guys, it seems like interest has well and truly waned so I'm happy to announce that recruitment will close in 24hrs. I'll begin compiling the applications here into a list, and make decisions accordingly. I daresay I'll announce my decision shortly after recruitment closes, and from there we can discuss the details for character creation.

@buckshot, go for it.

@Jubal, no worries. Once the group has been chosen we discuss the preferred ability generation method. I'm a big fan of the urchin background, good choice.

@Buckshot, sure thing. I'll only accept one character per applicant, but multiple submissions are fine.

The campaign will still be hosted on this forum, however the character sheets will be tracked via DnD Beyond. As mishima said, it basically allows the players to access all of my unlocked content for character creation. Trust me, it's awesome.

Good to see a broad range of ideas here guys! There is still plenty of time to submit, so please keep them coming.

@Dreaming, sounds like a really interesting idea. I think it will be cool to see how the character pans out, especially depending on your class choice.

@The nine, no problem; take your time.

@Buckshot, looks good man.

@Hayden, I realized you'd already posted just as the timer expired to edit my post. Valor looks good, a dual-wielding dex-based paladin is an interesting choice. I like it.

@Greycastle, thanks for putting that list together. You are awesome.

@Everyone else, there is no need to rush. You still have a week and a half before we look at closing recruitment, so please just take your time. If you have a few ideas I'm more than happy to accept multiple applications per person.

@Hayden, That's a no for the winged tiefling variant. Sorry man, but it's way too powerful at low levels and I feel like adapting to GMing on PBP will be hard enough without have to account for flight in a 1st level module. The other variants are good to go, there are some cool ones in Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes that I recommend you check out.

Anyone else out there interested in a 5e game?

@Mishima, the game will still be set in Golarion. I dont feel that 5e (especially at low levels) is too tied to Faerun that the conversion will feel strange. In fact, the stuff I've put together so far has played out very smoothly in testing, I'm excited for this!

Love the applications so far guys, keep them coming!

You can has, indeed.

Hello everyone! I am a GM new to these forums, though not to the game itself. I would like to dip my toes into the wonderful world of PBP, and I figured there would be no better way than to do so by running the first module of one of my favourite Pathfinder adventures.

I'll be doing things a little differently though, as I am in love with the simplicity of the DnD 5e rules I have converted the module to suit. As such, those players selected will be offered a link to a campaign on my DnD Beyond account, granting access to a number of books for character creation. As such, the focus on this recruitment thread will be on your backstory.

I am looking for a party of 4 - 6 characters. Recruitment will close NLT Midnight, 24 NOV 18. Of course, if interest has well and truly waned, or I feel that there have been enough awesome submissions it may close early. If so, I will afford everyone 48hrs notice to finalise their applications. Feel free to hit me with questions, or anything that I've missed and I'll gladly respond ASAP.

Good to see the interest is growing guys, the recruitment thread will be up by Friday.

@Double Gold, I'll look into the PFS credit. I didn't know it was that simple.

@Kittenmancer, awesome, thank you! I've already started my conversion, I might PM you soon with what I have to get some feedback on how the encounters went for you.

Sweet, I'll keep it 5e then. I'll start working on a recruitment thread, if no one shows interest it looks like it's just going to be us guys.

With regards to PFS credit, I have no idea how that works, but I doubt a 5e game would be able to fulfill the criteria. Feel free to correct me :)

Well that's refreshing, I was beginning to think I'd made a terrible mistake. I love the simplicity of the 5e rule set, I feel like it's a good fit for PbP even though I've yet to experience it.

I'm going to give this a few more days to gather up some interest. Do you guys feel that it would be better if we stuck to pathfinder rules? I only suggested 5e because that's what I've been playing most recently. I haven't played pathfinder rules for a few years now, but I'm more than happy to get back on the bandwagon if that's what people on these forums are more comfortable with.

@Dreaming Warforged, I completely understand your concerns; as I mentioned in the first post I'm just trying to make a start here. Although the edge of anarchy module is older, I'm fairly confident in my ability to convert it. The 5e rule set is pretty straightforward, and if the interest isn't there I'm happy to run it using the Pathfinder 1e rules. Thanks for leaving your opinion though, all we can do is see where this ends up :)

Hello all! I've been lurking on these forums for quite a while now, and I've finally mustered up the nerve to throw my hat into the mix. In order to build a posting history, I've decided to run (at least the first book) of Curse of the Crimson throne. This is merely an interest check to see if there are any who would like to participate.

I'll be running the game on these forums, using DnD 5e rules and the DnD Beyond interface to manage character sheets, items etc. Feel free to post if you're interested, and if numbers show that we can put a party together I'll start a recruitment thread.

Thanks for your time, looking forward to my first foray into PbP gaming!
