For any OOC that is over 3 sentences, please post it here as not to disturb the flow of the Gameplay.

I've been looking around and I've found some posting etiquette:
While In-Character use:
Bold for Talking.
Italics for inner dialogue.
Plain text for actions and descriptions.

I will roll everyone’s initiative when combat starts to make things move along quicker. Monsters with the same initiative will act at the same time.

At the beginning of each post in a combat round please post your Initiative and current HP as well as anything modified on your sheet. An example would be your modified AC after you cast shield on yourself. The heading would look like this:
INIT: 16, HP: 10/10, AC: 22 Using: (ooc) (b) (See the "How to format your text" below on how to format it.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Although for different reasons, all of you have been given a charter by the Sword Lords of Restov. It reads:

Be it so known that the bearer of this charter has been charged by the Swordlords of Restov, acting upon the greater good and authority vested within them by the office of the Regent of the Dragonscale Throne, has granted the right of exploration and travel within the wilderness region known as the Greenbelt. Exploration should be limited to an area no further than thirty-six miles east and west and sixty miles south of Oleg's Trading Post. The carrier of this charter should also strive against banditry and other unlawful behavior to be encountered. The punishment for unrepentant banditry remains, as always, execution by the sword or rope. So witnessed on this 24th day of Talistril, under watchful eye of the Lordship of Restov and authority granted by Lord Noleski Surtova, current Regent of the Dragonscale Throne.

One by one you have slowly been meeting the other charter holders as you travel down the road from Restov, towards Oleg's Trading Post. Each of you has been given an incomplete map that only details the road you are traveling on now and the outpost you are headed to. The unexplored areas are for you all to map out and complete in your own time. The four of you are about 4 hours away from the trading post.

You can see the map under the Campaign Info tab

First, a little about me: I've been playing pathfinder for about a year and a half now and I've played 3.5e for about 3 years before that. I currently play with a local group, but I've decided to take up the charge of GMing. I heard about PBP through a friend and it seems like a great way to be introduced to GMing. From what I’ve gathered, it provides some breathing room to look rules up and figure things out which can be challenging during a face-to-face game. I know, Kingmaker is a long AP and perhaps not the best starting AP or campaign for a new GM, but I am very interested in the setting and the kingdom building. My local group and I have been thoroughly enjoying it. Without further ado, here are the details:

Character Creation:
• Races: Core
• Classes: Everything from paizo on the pfsrd is allowed. (Take careful note here: exotic weapons like firearms, eastern weapons, etc will be non-existent unless crafted by the character from that particular region. Also, a strong back-story (why you are here, how you are going to progress through the levels, etc.) is required to play non-core and non-APG classes (e.g. Samurai, Ninja, Gunslinger, Magus).
• Alignment: All spectrums of Good and Neutral, except no Evil alignments.
• Level: 1
• Abilities: 20 Point Buy Character Creation Outline
• Traits: 2 – One must be from the Kingmaker Player’s Guide . The other can be from any paizo source but make it fit your background.
• Starting Gold: Average starting wealth by class. Starting Character Wealth
• HP: Max at level 1. (Half hit die +1 when leveling.)
• Feats: Everything from Paizo on the pfsrd is allowed. (Item creation feats and spells may be re-worked at my digression. Just don’t abuse them and you should be fine. For the most part my solution is that during kingdom building and the time-span between adventures you will only have 1 day per week to allocate to crafting. The rest of the days will be consumed with the maintenance/building of the kingdom.)

Players who do not have a current campaign and are newer to pathfinder have priority. My posting requirement is at least once a day. If the group is in combat and you do not post something within 24 hours, I will GMPC your character for that round to move things along, and then you will have another 24 hours to post. I will post at least once a day but, most of the time, my posts will begin in the late afternoon on the weekdays (US-Pacific Time) and throughout the weekend. Please let me know if you have any questions.
