Ok first things first, this will be the first time i DM a PBP,
but i have dmed before a few times. and atleast i have time to look stuff up in a PBP.
secondly i want to run a nice slow going heavy roleplaying adventure.(which will be second darkness shadow in the sky, for starters)
Thirdly people will need to post atleast 2 times a week.
fourthly You character will need a background and reason why they are in riddleport (I would preffer it if you have the player's guide)
fithly Down to rules, Pathfinder beta rules, 2 traits, Standard Hp's for first level, average hitpoints each level,20 point buy,300 starting gold,
invisible castle for rolls,AND you all get one free skill (4 ranks)in either a craft, a knowledge, a peform, or something that would suit there background you have to ask me if it is something that is not one of the three stated skills,You can play absolutely anything as long as i either have it or you can tell me where to find it on the internet, i will even run an evil group as long as the entire party agrees or your character has a good reason that the group would except her/him.
(oh and i would preffer no drow)
sixthly i am looking for 6 players (i might take eight) if you want to be in and i am all filled up post your email and i will contact you if a spot opens,i don't mind some small player knowledge as long as you keep it very very far away from character knowledge,
(if i get lots of people at roughly the same time i will pick people who are more into Roleplaying then fighting cause i think they will enjoy it more)
Feel free to ask as many questions as you like i'm on my computer quite a lot!
humm this might be fun, I wouldn't mind playing, I know little or riddle port but do have the players book
Edit: I have an urge to play a gnome cleric of Cayden Cailean all of a sudden
I would be interested, if you accept me. I am new to PbP and I have the beta rule book. If anyone can offer some help to get me started it would be appriciated.

I like it when people use bold bold when there character is saying something, heres invisible castle http://invisiblecastle.com/ we will roll our dice there and you will provide a link to your roll when making a roll in the PBP,if you have a realy big post to do make it smaller with
DM
and i will use spoiler's for things like

Yeah they do probably have to increase to eight
Go Shoo go make character;)
EDIT: you play balckleaf don't you!
He's a great character realy like him=)
yeah I play blackleaf. I like him alot, he was inspired by my mass reading of the REH Conan books right before I joined that game. Gonna go see what I can throw togather
Hey if you have the pdf's and plan to use mapes check out Ttop it is a table top for playing online games made by pygon . However I use it as a mapper as you can load maps and grab the pics from the boards. I find it speeds games up a bit to have a map and once ya get everything loaded it does not take long to print screen and get the pic. You can see the maps I have made by loading the map and adding the pc's and such here. Just being helpful encase ya planned to use maps
ya can stop by the chatroom most days and if pygon is there he would be happy to walk ya though the program. You won't need most of it but cool to know anyhow. I have been useing it in my games for about 6 or 7 months very very helpful
could you send some information on riddleport. my email is Contact douglas.gomes85@gmail.com
When you say 2 traits is that pick any 2 from the racial traits ex. dwarf stonecunning and keen senses sorry for asking this but trying to get creation right
small change of plans ..heh just kinda popped in my head wile concerting. Gnome cleric of Besmara. Prob CN if that's ok as I do not enjoy playing evil pc's myself.
that means I have 2 pc's to make tonight then heh will have her done in a day or so at most
I was thinking bard still haven't fleshed the ohter parts yet
I am playing a pf bard in another game, not to bad at all. I do wish there was an extra bardic music feat.
Ok, I am going Half-Elf Bard what i want the ability mod but does that count for a trait? Also How do skills work now? As I read it I can only put 1 rank per level, is this correct?
I found out about the traits, man do I feel like an idiot

Half elf bard sounds like a good choice=)
ok skills
at first level the bard gets 6 plus your int modifier times 4, ranks you can have 4 ranks at first level
every level after that you get 6 plus your int modifiear ranks to add to your current skills
there is a set number of ranks you can have at each level at first level it is 4 at second level 5 so if you maxed out ranks at first level, then yes only one rank you get the idea=)
yet again hope i helped
thanks for the help just getting the character fleshed out a little more. still need a name (always tough) getting into the fine details of equipment and trying to think up a background now
eh if we are doing the beta the skills are diff. there is not x 4 at first level
A bard gets 6 skill + Int mod at first level (bardic knowledge gives him another point for know skills]
Each skill costs 1 point, cross skills cost 1 point as well.
Max ranks(points you have in a skill) can not be above you level]
class gets get a +3 mod when first taken.
basicly a bard get 6+int mod skills at level one. each will be at rank 1. class skill while still at rank one get a +3 mod.
so say your bard with stats of say s-10 d-12 c-10 int-10 wis-12 cha-14
takes his 6 skills
Acrobatics +1rank +1 dex +3 class skill =+5
Bluff +1 rank+2cha +3 class skill=+6
handle animal +1 rank +3 cha (cross skill)=+4
know history +1 rank +0 int +3 class skill=+4
know nobility +1 rank +2 cha +3 class skill=+6
preform +1 rank +0 int +3 class skill=+4
alight of hand +1 rank ++1dex +3 class skill=+5
know religion {Bardic}+1 rank +0 int +3 class skill=+4
as you can see it pretty much means at level 1
class skill=+4 + mod( 1 rank +3 bounse)
cross skill=+1 + mod
hope that was helpful
thanks that was helpful. Now to make sure i have the whole point buy system right (since before i have normaly used the (4d6 reroll 1 drop the lowest)are the numbers how much must be spent from the previous number or in total?
again if we are using beta
you start out with 10 on ever score totals are
score....points cost
7....-4
8....-2
9....-1
10...0
11...1
12...2
12...3
14...5
15...7
16...10
17...13
18...17
The GM gave us 20 points.
Hey, there still room here? I'd like to join.
Well, since it looks like the Second Darkness pbp I was in also died, I'm interested. I'll figure out a character concept later.
Well, I know have a character idea. I'll be going with a human sorcerer.

yeah sorry i can't believe i told him the wrong rules=(
Well, I know have a character idea. I'll be going with a human sorcerer.Ooh ooh which bloodline?
I was thinking of going with Draconic(Bronze) bloodline. Bronze dragons do still live in coastal regions, right? Also. how far I got:
Well thats why i bring up questions now so we can adress them now not later."why do today if it can be put off till tomorrow, But what is today but yesterday's tomorrow" forgot where I heard that. That way we are all on the same page

So far it looks like this is the lineup of what everyone is looking to play too.
Seeker- Gnome Cleric Of besmara
WoodRaven - Half-Elf Bard
Kayos - Unknown
Kobold - Unknown
Memento - Unknown
Davi - Human Sorcerer
Depending on just what the rest of the group is looking to make, I could see myself going rogue, some sort of tank(probably a barbarian but maybe a paladin, that could be fun with a darker but not actually evil group), or a wizard.
Davi, do you have any idea what type of sorc you would be making, like are you looking to really be a blaster or more illusions or what? If you are more a heavy hitter, I think that I might lean towards a wizard who is more crowd control/summoning type spells.
I'll work on actually putting a few different characters to actual paper tonight, that way I am ready and can fill in whatever gaps the group might leave. I don't mind any role really and am sure I can come up with some backstory and fluff for any of them as I get into character.
-Tarlane
Yeah, I'll be going with a more blasty sorcerer. I already have a sorcerer of the enchantment bent.

Looking for one more!

Sounds good. Then I'm going to make a Wizard to be my most likely choice. However if one of the others decides they want to cover that front(or we just end up without a rogue-ish character or someone who can front line) then I have no problem switching over to one of those and I'll have chars made in backup.
I could use some information on riddleport douglas.gomes85@gmail.com
One quick question; Would gambling be covered by Profession(Gambler) or Bluff?
Also, here is my character. Name forthcoming.
Well, I'm afraid I'm gonna have to drop out. I don't do so well with 20 Point Buy, sorry I shoulda checked first. Thanks anyways.
