Hi! I am doing a savage tide play by post.

500 starting gold. 1st level characters.
I think 6 players max is good, but if anyone wants to help DM, thats cool too.

we will play the first adventure "there is no honor" first.

Hi, Gobbo. I'd like in. I've played as far as

Spoiler:
just entering the vault and getting attacked by a snake

before the game fizzled, so I hope you don't think I know too much.

My first thought is a non-blasting human sorcerer; my second is the character I tried before, a halfling scout.

Thanks.


Ok. I really have no problem with people who have already played it.
the game really will be based on a DM-player trust system(ie you make your own rolls and such. should be really fun.

currently im a player in a yahoo groups campaign and dm for a harry potter PbP, but im sure I will have plenty of time to post.


the content allowed in game is evrything, as long as:

1. it is 3.5
2. made by Wotc or Dragon/dungeon
3. you can cite where it is from.

I figure being restrictive and saying core only is a bad idea.\

cheers!


OK, I would love to play this.

Just one problem, I have read most (all?) of the adventurers. Would this be a problem. I am usually pretty good at separating player and character knowledge.

Assuming that is alright, I don't really mind what I play, and usually just fill in whatever gaps there are. But I would love to give a Warblade a go.

What are the character generation rules? Point buy? 4d6 drop one? Restrictions? Etc....
I would like to do this (I am running the Savage Tide for a group, so I have decent knowledge of the game, but I don't use player knowledge as charaacter knowledge so it shouldn't be an issue. The game ain't fun if you're cheatin').

Invisible Castle has linkable rolls. It is quick and easy to use and you don't need an account or anything. We been using it for the PBP arenas and it works good.

just a suggestion.

I'm interested Gobbowizard, but in the same boat as mevers - I've read the adventures. It's not an issue for me, if it's not an issue for me, I try not to metagame.

I own / have read all the parts of the adventure path, but they're in a huge pile next to our bedside and I'm far too lazy to dig them out, so I ought to be good. I'm interested if you'll have me.

This should be an interesting PbP. I can just see some of the posts now...
DM: "OK. You guys know that part about the stilt walkers on pg. XX of issue XX? Well, you're there. So... uh... you know what's supposed to happen, what d'ya guys wanna do?"
I actually had a friend allow me to play in his STAP campaign (only lasted about two weeks before group dissolved), even though I knew the material. He tweaked it just subtly to keep me guessing. It was quite fun.

Going to reply to my own invisible post, as the old one doesn't seem to show up anymore (at least not to me). Silly internets.

I'd like to play, but I'm in the same boat as the other guys. I'm running the game for my group and I've read all the way up to City of Broken Idols (the rest of the issues are in my shopping cart). If that's ok, then count me in if you've still got a spot.

Can I play a Warforged? If not then I'll probably play human. I like to play warrior types or arcane casters, but I'll play what the party needs. I don't like clerics though. Fighter or artificer would be my picks.

Hey mevers, what is a Warblade exactly? I take it they would fill the warrior / tank role in the group ... how does one differ from say a fighter?

They differ quite majorly - it is a class from Tome of Battle. They get the various manoeuvres and such-like and, while more like a classic fighter than a sword sage, you would really need the book to run one.

Are we up to six players yet?

I'd love to play.

Again with the caveat that I am familiar with the material and am currently running it with one of my IRL groups.

I know I have no trouble separating player and character knowledge.

Yep,they take the place of fighter (or Barbarian) in the group, and as Aubrey said, you really need the Book (Tome of Battle) to run / play one. Although you can get a fair idea of their capabilities by checking out the ToB excerpt on WotC's site.

Now, having said all that, I am more than happy to fill whatever role needs filling. The (dis?)advantage of mostly DMing is that it feel like I have about 100 character ideas floating around in my head at any one time.


Male Humanoid Expert 2 / Magewright 1

Assuming I'm in, I'm thinking either a Ranger with the trapfinding substitution from Dungeonscape (in place of tracking), or possibly a half-orc diviner. If we end up being short on healing, I'm also a big fan of Spirit Shaman or Ur-Priest.


Ok no problem.

all of you that have posted up to now can play.

as for characters maybe... 32 point buy!


o jeez! 8 players! i didn't realize this many people were interested.

o boy.

6 is the max im afraid.

anyone willing to drop?


Again, it really doesnt matter if you have played before.

Invisible Castle it is. use that and post your final resjults for each roll/check/save.

cool ideas. good to see a good amount of noncore classes.


assuming aubrey is NOT playing, (he didnt say), we have 8 people. Im going on a first come first serve style thing so the oddmen out would be aubrey and sean. you can still play, but 8 players is definitly a lot. leveling might be impaired somewhat.

ok, let me know when you have characters ready.


a warforged is fine visgoth.

btw, you arent by any chance named after the character invisigoth from the X-files?


o. only 1 real restriction. stuff from eberron/FR is fine but no Dragonlance. that CS deserves its own PbP.

I think I wanna do a druid with the 2 variant abilities from the PHB2. That'll give him some additional healing options and a cool ability that will replace the need to keep track of an animal companion or summoned creatures. Probably Wood Elf. I'll start statting up.

Well, I guess I needn't have worried!

I'm going to go with a human Beguiler. Working on stats now.

ok then.


Male Humanoid Expert 2 / Magewright 1

If we're tipping the boat, I can back out; otherwise currently working up a character ;). What kind of Pantheon are we looking at?

Hey.

I can be a back-up character, but I'd rather wait till when (or if) you get to the island; I've studied the adventures up to that point so far.

Of course, it's going to take a hell of a long while till you get there.

Tada! Figured we could use some muscle. Will fill out the rest of the goodies when I get to work tonight. But for now, I must sleep!

Cool. And no, I'm named after a sub-group of the ancient tribe of barbarians that sacked Rome. I just added an extra "s" because it looked cooler that way.

Since we already have a barbarian, I'll probably go with a fighter/artificer headed for the Spellcarved Soldier PrC.

Eight sounds a little large for a PbP party. If you're up for it and are willing to let me play, I'll craft a character by tonight. If eight is too big, I can back out, though.


EDIT: Sean! you can definitly play I just realized Steve Greer isnt playing and neither is aubrey!

that only brings us to 7! make a character dude. sorry bout the mixup.

as for pantheon, standard PHB, but you can use any domain(like the ones in SC) if you are playing a non deity specific cleric.

Male Dworc (half-dwarf/half-orc) Monk4/Barbarian2/Rogue2/Jack-of-all-Trades2/Master of None2/Quasi-diety2

Yeah, I'm doin' a druid (probably wood elf) with the "shapeshift" variant and the "Spontaneous Rejuvenation" variant class features.
He won't be too much of a healer though so a cleric or something would be nice also.
I'll work on him or her tonight.

Huh. I typed it in the box marked "languages", but it doesn't show up when other people look.

Fixed.

I'm thinking a human (or half elf) Cleric of Fharlanghn. I'll very much be focused on healing, buffing, utility spells and skills such as diplomacy, knowledge religion, and knowledge planes - though if we have a beguiler I might drop diplomacy. Might take a level or two of ranger at some point.

I rolled up a prelim character last night using 4d6, but I'll change it to a 32 point buy, should have something prelimanary posted at some point in the next 24 hours.


sounds good. I once met a farlaghn cleric player who tried to give apples to EVERYONE.

Sorry, had to deal with car stuff, and the last of the fallout from Carpocalypse, so I am at work now. Will roll up a character and post it tonight after work (probably by midnightish, Pacific Time).
