I know there's another RoW recruitment thread right now, so I hope I'm not committing some sort of faux pas by starting my own, but it is my favorite AP and I would love to run it for a group of four.

I think that's it? And I of course encourage you to read the official player's guide. Let me know if you have any questions!
Setting: The world of Allsgard, a world steeped in Norse mythology, with some of the names (and genders) changed. It is also a land of emerging firearms, thanks to the innovative dwarves of Dunarhall. I want to avoid posting a wall of text in this recruitment thread, and so I am reserving the player’s guide for the applicants that I pick. It is still a work in progress anyways.
Epic 6: This campaign utilizes the optional Epic 6 rules variant of Pathfinder, with some adjustments to the xp. Characters earn 1-3 xp every time they advance the story, be it by defeating enemies, finding loot, solving puzzles, making allies, and more. Every 50 xp, a character will level up, up to the cap of 6th. Every 50 xp after that cap is reached, a character will earn a new feat. If your character dies, you will create a new one at the same level, but with minimum xp for that level. There will be no permanent character death during the initial adventure of this campaign; why that is will become clear once the adventure begins.
Timeline: I still have a player’s guide to finish, and I am confident I can get it done within a week, so I am giving applicants until the 22nd to apply. Once applicants have been chosen for one or two groups, depending on how many people apply, we will have a week to go over character backstory, and we will begin the campaign on March 1st. For now, post with a general character idea, and we will work on solidifying it to suit the campaign setting later.
Races and Classes: All core races, as well as aasimar (called Vanir), tieflings, tengu (called ravenfolk), and goliaths are allowed. A homebrew race called dragonkin will also be allowed, but you have to become one, and cannot start as one.
All core, base, and hybrid classes are allowed, including gunslinger.
Ability Scores: 20 point buy, maximum 16 in any score before racial bonuses.
Feats and Traits: Characters will begin with one bonus feat, in addition to any other feats they get at 1st level. Characters can have two traits.
Wealth and Health: Maximum starting gold and hp. We will roll for hp after 1st level; we’ll both roll and you can take whichever is better.
The Aesir: The prime deities of Allsgard, the following eight Aesir are the most popular among them, though there are many others. It should be noted that very few dwarves and Vanir worship the Aesir.

I've been developing a campaign setting for some time now, and I would like to it for PF (1e) as a play-by-post if there's enough interest for it. It is heavily inspired by Norse mythology, and it takes place on the far northern continent of Nordland, where the summers are short and mild and the winters long and bitter. Let me know if this sounds interesting to you and I will go ahead and make a recruitment post!
