Have a nice vacation! I'm enjoying this game, and personally I don't feel any need to rush along with the story. If you can't post or you are enjoying other vacation things too much ... :) ... I'm OK to wait until you are able to join us.

Well, I meant that languages :) I should have said Gaelic, maybe

edit: welcome back, by the way. I just presumed it was the weekend and you were busy


Yes, definitely. Will post evening my time. I'm basically a beginner, and I would like to play a Dwarf character, either a paladin or a cleric (to be decided when I create the character).

Coming back to this... (long shot) do you happen to know any Danish? Or Irish,for that matter :)


Yeah, I don't think anyone would call themselves a barbarian, unless it was to mock someone they had defeated or similar - "look at you, beaten by a mere barbarian". It's a (semi-)derogatory term applied to others.

The other option is to refer to where you come from, perhaps. If we take the historical example of the Romans, they considered the modern day French, Germans, British and Scandinavians as barbarians (amongst others!), but ask any of those people 'who are you?' and they would be a Gaul, a Tuton, a Cimbri, and so on. You might think that's a different kind of context, but it could also apply here - people would have an understanding of what a 'Northman' is considered to be, etc, and apply it well enough to make a judgment.

I wasn't quite clear what you thought about Druids, by the way. In this game I would probably just say 'I'm a woodsman' and leave it at that.

You could be descended from Danes in that case :) We tend to spend a really long time in the education system, mostly because it's all free (almost all)


Haha! More power to text editors. It's OK, thanks for the offer, I was just thinking for any future characters.


By the way, how do you all create your characters in a nice convenient format for posting to the forum? I used a trial online pathfinder pc builder, but no export functionality, so I'd be very grateful for any tips!


As mentioned in the original thread, I would very much like to sign up and cut my teeth on this one. I would like to play as a Bard, either a human or an aasimar, of a generally heroic persuasion. The social contract stuff looks just right for me.


Here we go, then. Gill Baverly, a male human druid with a drive to take on all manner of physical challenges, and who has taken a vow to never write anything down, for fear of weakening his memory.

Confirming for DaWay's AP (any) and Capt's intro module.

For Hollow's Last Hope: I will roll up this evening my time, but I intend to roll a male human druid (which I think should fit with the Paladin and Summoner as requested).

For the AP: I will wait and see if I get to play and what other people prefer to play before deciding myself.

Just as an aside, for those interested in playing in their first pbp game, I highly recommend DH's guide to pbp gaming. It's located on the paizo forums and you can read it here.

Enjoy.

Mmm. Thanks for the link. It's pretty late at night here so I will post up a proposed build tomorrow, but it's great to see the interest so far!


I'm also new to the PbP format and have been watching for a suitable recruitment thread for a while, so here I am, registering my interest.

I'm located in Copenhagen, so that's GMT +2 at the moment with summertime whatnot. I could certainly handle a one or two posts per day type of game, although a slower pace would also be quite fine.

Character-wise, I would quite like to have a go at a divine caster, but honestly, I don't have a strong preference. The same goes for the theme of game, I would be very happy to try most things.


Hi all :) I'm hoping to start up a campaign with my wife, I'll be the DM and she will play. The chosen game is going to be Pathfinder (we took a look at 4E but it didn't really appeal). Neither of us have much experience, but it's pretty obvious that most D&D variants seem to be balanced around party size of about 4-6, which is obviously an issue with just one player. I'd really like to hear the thoughts of more experienced gamers (basically all of you) about whether we should aim for a scaled down game of say 1 PC and one hired companion, try to play 4 PCs with the 1 player for a balanced party, or something in between. I'm not really sure what the relative merits of the different options are. All help appreciated!

As an FYI, we were thinking about running the Paizo mod Hollow's Last Hope for an easy intro.
