Hi.
I started to look at the PBP listings last fall. I got inspiration to run a Rise of the Runelords PBP for some of the other characters that were not picked for the RotRL PBP campaign we were applying for. This is not a recruitment for my RotRL PBP.
Upon reading some helpful advice on the boards, I decided to get some experience running a more limited PBP before starting what will be a years-long RotRL PBP campaign. What I decided for the first PBP I run will be PFS Core Iconics through In Search of Sanity (book 1 of the Strange Aeons AP), which is a PFS evergreen AP book.
This will be a private game, not a public one. This is not a 'first to sign up' recruitment.
This game will be following PFS Core rules.
Because of how the adventure starts, there will not be an opportunity to purchase additional items before play starts (or to adjust the gear on the iconic sheet). There will also not be an opportunity to change prepared spells that are stated on the iconic sheets before gameplay begins.
The game would not be starting until late September/mid-October. I have my reasons for the seven core Iconics I want in my private game. Part of those reasons is each of the 4 core iconics I am not including in this PBP are ones that have things that would lessen the 'horror factor' if they were one of the PCs.
After my initial run of In Search of Sanity is done, and I have a decent flow going with my RotRL PBP campaign, I might decide to run In Search of Sanity again with a new group of players.
I have read useful advice regarding running a PBP, which I will be using, particularly the advice that helps speed up game play, such as rolling initiative for the PCs. I looked up to see if such things are PFS legal when running PBP, which they are.
This PBP will only be for the first book of the Strange Aeons adventure path, not the entire adventure path.
The game will be played on a private discord server. I will be making use of Owlbear Rodeo to track movement on the maps and taking screenshots of the maps to post in the player maps section of the discord server.
Who I am looking for: 4 players who enjoy playing one of the following five iconics: Amiri (human barbarian), Lem (halfling bard), Valeros (human fighter), Sajan (human monk), Ezren (old human wizard).
The player slots for playing Kyra and Seoni have already been filled. A third player who has been selected for this PBP will play whichever of the above 5 iconics are left after everyone else has the iconic they will be playing as.
For this private game, I do not want more than one player playing as the same Iconic.
Include the following with your post:
A) Have you ever been selected for a PBP adventure/campaign?
B) How many PBP adventures/campaigns are you currently in?
C) Have you ever been the GM for In Search of Sanity?
D) Have you ever played a PC for In Search of Sanity?
E) Are you okay with creating a new PFS 1E Core PC to assign playing credit to for playing a core Iconic?
F) Are you at least 18 years of age? (The Strange Aeons AP is more like a R-rated Cthulhu genre horror movie than it is a less-restricted sword and sorcery movie). I do not want to be responsible for non-adults having nightmares. I do not have a goal to cause adults to have nightmares either, but they knew what they were signing up for with In Search of Sanity.
G) If you are comfortable sharing, list your country/province/state. Which time zone you are in?
H) Which days/nights of the week do you usually have more available time to post in the PBP.
I) List which of the following five core iconics you would enjoy playing, in descending order, starting with the core iconic you would most prefer to play as. Amiri, Lem, Valeros, Sajan, Ezren.
