Well, going from bar to bar isn't cheap, so Kurth would definitely be at the competition to win some money he can waste.
Oh, and i have the players guide.

I'm up for this. I'm thinking a human fighter. An ex-sailor with a short fuse who has taken up bar brawling for the thrill of it.
If there is still room i'm interesting in playing. I have a bard character in mind. He is an Indiana Jones-like tomb raider, fleeing from a mummy's curse. background
Spoiler: As a teenager Calib was sent to military academy to study. He quickly started favoring the whip, and with his quick wits he was able to out smart and distract most of his classmates. He discovered that using ridicule he could shake his opponent to the bones, making their strikes weaker, and with a little practice he was even able to shake several opponents at a time. As he started developing his skills he discovered he was able to draw magic out of his words.
Despite his succes at the academy, fighting was never his real interest. What he really wanted to do was to adventure and delve into the secret and forgotten lore of Osirion.
One day when he was browsing the Malhitu Bazaar he found an old allmost crumbled piece of parchament wich he bargained down to a favorable price. Studying the writings he quickly discovered that they were directions to a hidden tomb. Using his last gold he raised an expedition to the tomb. Here they were met by the tombs guardian; an ancient mummy. It was a tough fight but in the end they prevailed and was able to loot the tomb, gaining a massive profit. Several weeks later members of the expedition started to hallucinate and get paranoia. One by one they were driven to suicide by their madness. But death didn't give them any respite. Three days after their deaths they would rise again as zombies and seek out any living member of the expedition. Calib is not affected by the curse yet, and he has devoted his time to find a way to stop it. All his research indicates that the solution is burrowed somewhere in the dessert. Afraid that the curse will get him before he can stop it, he has started to collect luck charms, and spends huge sums to buy them. This is not something he openly admits, but several strange amulets adorn his vest.
i'm interested as well
() As soon as Nadeq understand the lock mechanism and the nature of the building he starts smiling, and he gets a gleam in his eyes he gets everytime he is presented with an obstacle like this.. or when he realize he might soon get an opportunity to loot some tomb. He takes a step back to survey the whole thing, rubbing his chin.
He follow the monks initiative and start climbing the building as silent as possible. climb
If you still have room i would love to get in on this. So far i haven't played anything than d20 but I just bought myself the Savage Worlds core rules and Deadlands:reloaded and i find the system really intriguing and would like to try it out. The only down side about it is without classes you acutually have to think and not just pick one :D i don't know what i would be playing yet.
I'm sorry to jump in on this. I normally don't post in others games once they are started, but I just saw the in-character thread of this game and noticed that you are not that far along. I've wanted to play in a STAP or marine heavy campaign for a long time now, so figured i would just like to say that if you have room for another, or if one player jump out of this, i'm more than willing to play that spot. If you want to see how my playing style is look at these games
And Nadeq in this Slumbering Tsar game
I'm willing to play any type of character, but for this i will probably swashbuckle it up for the setting and make a background connected to the ocean (some sort of pirate or privateer, depending on the game style). Anyway, I hope you'll consider it and post a reply. And no matter what; good game to all of you.
Decided to go with a monk instead. Maybe a monk/fighter multiclass depending on the groups melee abilities.
I hope to have him done by tonight.
so sorry about my absence. i'm having a hard time fleshing out my character for this. It's not like i'm not motivated for this game, i am just having a hard time adapting to a non-d&d way of thinking. I've got the stats down, and just need to write a background. Hopefully i will have it done this weekend.
Rolling for my stats. Will post a character tomorrow.
and hp
i'm going with a ranger. I'm not familiar with Ravenloft, but i get the feeling that favored enemy: undead, could be a wise choice.
i'd be intersted too.
I will post a wizard a little later today
I'm very interested too!
what about stats? should we go with the base + bonus or point by + bonus? I will go with a brass dragon wizard.
I'm in. Don't know about which dragon yet (never really looked at dragons actually) but i'm thinking he will be a wizard.
i'd be interrested. I'm more for the evil type of campaign, since it's with dragons. I imagine good adventurers and legendary heroes trying to track down and kill a group of evil dragons cooperating.
I'm gonna go with the pilot class. I hope i can post a character with finished stats tonight.
Wouldn't that still cost the -4 penalty because the target is in melee? @ Chris Deal :)
I think i understand it now. Are the pilot a specifik class or a warrior with pilot skills in the speciality skill? If it is class could you post their skills?
hp Here is Naseem Al-Haqua, seeker of secrets and treasure.

Spoiler: Naseem is the child of rich archaeologists who because of their job didn't spend much time at home. His parrents had acquired a house genie who was put in charge of raising and schooling Naseem. The genie taught him of the planes and the arcane arts. He loved learning and absorbed knowledge like few, and already at an early aged he showed great talent in the arcane. His parrents decided to sent him to a magic academi to study. One day at the academy his teacher had brought an old book about local history to class. In this book Naseem read about a war legend called the Genie Lord who had once commanded thousands of genies and waged war on any who opposed him. After class Naseem was captivated with the legend of the Genie Lord, and started to search for information about him. No matter where he looked it all turned into a dead end. Only the book his teacher had contained usefull knowledge about the Genie Lord, and one night he and a friend called Meho sneaked into his teachers office and stole the book. The book contained exactly what they where looking for; a description of the Genie Lords tomb. Together with Meho, Naseem traveled to the place described in the book. They couldn't believe their luck when they found a plain looking unguarded tomb. As they entered the tomb they discovered that the interior was nothing like the outside entrance. The halls where lined with rows of torchholders decorated with precious metals. When they reached the Genie Lords grave they found his sarcofag in a room with several piles of gold and shelves of magic items. Extatic and filled with greed they for the treasure. Meho started filling their bags with gold, while Naseems eyes where caught by a bow in the hand of a statue. An inspection of the weapon showed it to be magical so Naseem took it. But as soon as he lifted the bow he set off a presure plate and a big loud snap could be heard. Seconds after the tomb started to tremble and fall apart around them. They rushed through the torch lined halls in search for the exit, but suddenly Meho tripped in one of the bags. Before Naseem could stop and help him the ceiling broke and fell on him, crushing his body. Devastated Naseem fled for his life. Only his qucik reflexes saved his life that day. The bow he had managed to get, he called Meho's Sting in memory of his friend, and it serves him as a reminder to never let greed overcome him again. After the accident in the tomb he quit school and started study traps and their designs. As with wizardry he was a qucik learner. His training in wizardry proved to be an advantage for him. His fingers, trained in the tricky gesticulations certain spells required, was perfect for manipulating small items and the concentration excercises he had been taught was a much needed tool when dealing with the more dangerous kind of traps. Recently he learned about an excavation team being put together and offered his knowledge and newly gained expertise.
Ok, i'm in. I'm still a little confused about how to create a character.
if you could write a simple step by step guide for us slower witted it would be appreciated.
Have you decided on the campaign style? Dungeon crawl, political intrigue, wilderness exploration or anything else? This will highly affect the stats of a character.
I have created a halfling rogue 3 / Wiz 3 / Shadow dancer 1.
I can post a couple of times every day. I check the boards quite often.

Spoiler:
Nadeq was a petty thief, who robbed the occasionaly thomb or grave. One day he found the tomb of a long dead wizard who had belonged to the cult of Orcus. In this tomb he found two old leather inbound books. Intrigued by it he stuffed them in his back, along with whatever treasures there was in the tomb. He started to read and study the books and qucikly realized that one of them was a spell book and the other the wizards journal wich mentioned some great secret still hidden in the old ruins. He was unable to decipher excactly what was hidden, but he understood that it was something important. Nadeq packed his things at once and set out for the Desolation and a what he thought would be a glorious future. After just a couple of days in the Desolation he had been near to death four times, and he decided to abondon his mission. In the meantime he had passed of night time by studying the spell book and little by little he was able to analyze and identify the spells, and he realized that many of them would be really helpful. He returned from the Desolation and looked up Thangor, an old traveling companion who happened to be a wizard of some power and became his apprentice.
With his understanding of the arcane arts, and his newfound connection with shadows Nadeq has returned to the Desolation to find the secret of the cult of Orcus, and he now finds himself standing amongst the hastily built village called the Camp.
Took some minor liberties and made some assumptions about the background, but they are easily changed to fit the campaign. I have yet to read pbp thread itself.
I'm interrested as well. Probably an arcane trickster.
I might be interrested in this too. I'm hestitating only because i've never played anything but d20 games. But a sci fi games sounds like a lot of fun, and i would like to give it a go. I'm thinking a pilot/mercenary Han Solo type. But what would a character like that be able to do other than the obvious; fly a spaceship (wich sounds a little monotonous). Maybe it's just me who have a hard time thinking outside the D&D class-ability box :) If you could post a little more class wise, so i can get a feeling of how a character will play out, I might be interrested in this game.
I''ve yet to DM a pbp but as a player of a couple I will advise you not to start at 1 lvl. I'm sure a lot will disagree with me, but in my experience it takes a looong time to lvl up, and being stuck at first lvl for several RL months isn't that much fun. Starting at lvl 3-4 will give your players more options. And btw i would like to play. Either a roguish type or a caster (either a wizard or a cleric). probably a multiclass of the two.
I would love to play in any of these settings. Espacially a marine setting or dessert like setting, so Qadira sounds great.
Yeah, sorry. I'm going to have to back out of this one, as i'm pretty swamped on pbp's. Have fun!
Great! I will post the character in the ooc thread.
Damn, just a minute too late... Oh well, I will roll up a fighter just in case.
I'm definitely interessted in this if there is still room. I'm thinking either a fighter or a bard.
Sounds like fun. If there is still room i'm thinking of a halfling with lame legs, who has turned to wizardry to help him move around. Floating disc, mage hand etc.
Happy new year everybody! I'm still here and i'm up for the 1,2,3 game with an alchemist.
Merry christmas everybody.

I'm interrested in the first reserve spot. if you will allow it i would like to try either an alchemist or a witch. If not i'll go with a wizard.
Not sure how valid the playtest data may be now... With the new playtest classes up, anyways... Maybe he wants to switch over?Well... I do like the Alchemist. +1
Yeah but i realized that the adventure takes place in a dungeon - probably not the best place to bring a large flying monster. So I have skipped the wings and have made him a large bipedal grappler instead. But he is still equipped with a saddle so he can be ridden.
I'm interested in this. I will make an avatar soon. Human summoner 7
