Hey Everyone
In my Grand Fashion of Procrastination, I am starting a new online Pbp here at Paizo making strong use of the RPG superstar material in order to attempt to create a cohesive whole. This is a recruiting thread for 6 or less players in a paizoian DND 3.5 play by post.
The World:Homebrew/RpgSuperstar.
The Countries: Ghost Hound Plains,Terram,Yithnai, Zavaten Gurav unsecified goblin country.
What does the world look like
Imagine the mediteranian, now take greece and replace it with terram. Where Gaul would be is the Ghost Hound Plains and Lands, to the north-east (and extending down into the Balkans) is the Dread Lands of Gura and between of of these nations are the black woods, home to goblin and monster alike. Across the dark reaches of the southern sea lies the lands of Yithnai, once the birthplace of all mankind and now home to dark sorcerery and terrible rites.
Guidelines for players, Be able to post once a day and enthusiastic. Also, as this is a homebrew with a fair amount of houserules, being charitable to the DM is a requirement, if you think what I am suggesting is horribly broken and still want to play by all means make suggestions.
Play will start in Terram, and would eventually include all the nations depending on play of course.
Books: Core III, with the following modifications. Level 1, please take a starter kit.
All the demi-humans (Including Half Races), come from the lands surrounding Terram. Gnomes and Halflings tending from the ghost hound plains, elfs and orcs from the black forests and Dwarves from Gura, with goblins being spready out in all three nations. In addition Blink Dogs are a playable race (with a break down ala savage species below.)
New Feat: Exceptional ( Disregard some bit of the established fluff, such as Demi humans not being from Terram, etc) Choose a new skill to become class.
The Following Rules, Races, and Classes Change.
Halflings No Shoes but increase Move Silently bonus to +4 Speed 30
HalfOrcs: +1 NA, Trapsense +1

Gods and such [Spoiler]
Human Lands (Terram and Yithnai);
Cyprus and Yith effectively form a Dualistic Pair, and while other philosophies are occassionally followed it is always within the context of the pair
Cyprus Domains: Law, Knowledge, Protection, and War
Yith Domains: Evil, Knowledge, Magic Healing
Dwarvish Lands(Gura);
The only god dwarfs pay the eternal watching,and waiting maw of the earth, that will unexpectedly kill you.
Dwarf Domains: Earth, Destruction, Protection
The Cult of the Smith: Destuction, Death, Chaos
The Ghost Hound Plains.
No organized religion rule these parts, but the practices of ancestor and nature worship go back many generations
GhostHound Plains: Plant, Sun, Healing, Good
Black forest:
The Savage Feral Battles that come here reward strength and expertise, People from this region pray to the Great Bear keeper of the memories of ancestors in hopes that he will bless them in battle. Some Fools prey to the trickster god the fire fox, who leads people astray in the dark dark woods with his lights and tricks.
Great Bear: Animal, Strength, Water,
Fire Fox: Fire, Travel, Trickery
Priests of Philosophy exist, but even they must achieve their powers from the gods. A priest of philosophy must still chooose a god and one domain from the gods list but may freely choose the other domain.
Druids and Rangers: Must worship either the great bear, the fire fox, another animal spirit, or their ancestors.
Anyone who wants to play a different race should give a shout, I enjoy gobbos but other than that will probably not allow anything crazy in .
I look forward to your interest.
