After further review of the responses to my previous post and the first chapters of each AP considered, I have, obviously, selected Carrion Crown for my next PbP adventure. I encourage any and all to apply.
I am only selecting five players for this campaign. Probably. It kills me to narrow it down like that, as I know there will be some incredible applications. But I want to make the AP somewhat challenging and that's much easier with a smaller party. (It is likely that I'll break this stipulation.)
To start, please download the Player's Guide if you haven't already. The information therein is critical in understanding the adventure and crafting an appropriate backstory for your character.
Role playing is more important to me than roll playing. I play for stories more than mechanics. That said, this is a traditional AP so completely unoptimized characters aren't really appropriate. But don't feel the need to eek out every point possible from your build.
Like other GMs, I'd like at least one post per day from the players - including weekends. And, of course, if you're going to be away, just let the group know. Depending on how long you're gone, you may need to be ok with the GM or a fellow player taking over your character until your return.
Finally, maps and other relevant documents will be uploaded to Dropbox. This is a friendly and easy way to share the files across multiple platforms.
I place a high value on class and racial diversity.
I have a particular soft spot for Monks.
I am open to creative input from my players.
I subscribe to the tiered leveling (or whatever it is called).
I am a grammar snob. While improperly using a gerund isn't grounds for disqualification, proper use will earn you bonus points during selection.
1) 20-Point Buy, 1st Level
2) Core races only. I may be open to Changelings, but all other player races are off-limits.
3) Three traits. It is required that you pick one from the campaign traits, but you can adjust the backstory freely to better align with your character.
4) No evil characters.
5) Max HP at first level (roll or average thereafter).
6) Max starting gold
7) Archetype stacking is allowed, assuming the bonuses don't overlap. Also, I'll be looking for some story-basis or flavor-basis for your archetype choices. If you're just looking to game the system, you're out.
How To Apply
Please respond to the questions below in-character.
I also ask that you have a fairly fleshed-out character profile that I can look at. It doesn't have to be completely finished at all, but I want to get an idea of what you're trying to do with your character - not just that you're a human cleric. In this character profile, please put your background story in spoilers - particularly the pieces that people wouldn't know about you.
The Questions
1. Who are you and where are you from?
2. How were you acquainted with Professor Lorrimor?
3. How would you describe your personality?
4. Do you buy into the superstitious paradigms of the denizens of Ustalav?
I will hold recruitment until I feel like I have enough players to choose from or Friday - whichever comes first.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. I look forward to the applications!
