This is a 3.5E D&D campaign where we will be playing through the Curse of the Crimson Throne adventure path. Time, tool, and player-wise, I would like to hold game sessions on Sunday afternoons from 1 PM to 6 PM EST bi-weekly using both MapTools and Skype for five players.
The main books we will be using are the PHB, DMG, and MM. Material from official Pathfinder Chronicles Campaign Setting supplements and web enhancements can be used with notification while material from other D&D supplements must be requested. In all respects, I reserve the right as DM to decline and retroactively remove any game mechanics that prove problematic.
Story-wise, players are advised to download and read the Player's Guide to the Curse of the Crimson Throne and make characters that fit based on the information therein. Mechanically, all characters should start at 1st level and generate ability scores using the standard 4d6, drop lowest, and arrange to taste method. Be sure to use an online dice roller like InvisibleCastle and send me the appropriate URLs so that I can verify your dice rolls. As normal, take maximum hit points at first level and for starting wealth, just take your initial character class' maximum starting gold.
I have several house rules in effect as well. First, the minimum hit die size is d6. Second, the minimum number of skill points per level is 4. Third, all bonus feats accured by fighters are wild card feats, all of which can be changed after five minutes of uninterrupted practice. Fourth, monks get full BAB and finally, rangers get sneak attack damage dice equal to thier favored enemy bonus when attacking said favored enemy.
Regarding stuff I absolutely do not want to see, please do not use any of the following when making or advancing your characters:
-Like Something Else, Only Better (e.g. The Skeleton and Zombie Dragon templates from Draconomicon).
-Someone Was Asleep At the Wheel (e.g. The Planar Shephard).
-Stuff That Doesn't Fit The Campaign Setting.
Also, do not make use of the following "legal" rules abuses or anything similar:
-Spell Dancing.
-More Wishes.
-Balor Mining.
-Phoenix Duplication.
-Chain Binding.
-Theoretically Broken (e.g. Risen Martyr).
-Campaign Smashers.
-Broken Anything.

Hi mate,
I'd really like to join your campaign. I've been waiting for such an opportunity for some time and I hope finally this could be the right one.
I'm 35 years old and I could guarantee that I'll try to do all I can to be always present and to do everything I can to highlight your campaign and other players enjoyment.
Tell me if you need me and which kind of character you could need then I'll start to work on an adeguate background.
Best regards
Sneaky

Welcome aboard, Sneaky. Your enthusiasm is reassuring. Currently, there's one other person interested and it looks like they are edging towards playing a monk. Character-wise, I'd really like characters that have or can develop additional reasons to be in Korsova beyond revenge on Gaedran Lamm so I can make the unfolding events of the adventure path more directly important to the player characters.

I'll start working on a good background and I'll let you know as soon as I'll have something presentable...
Oh I was forgetting... I'm really happy to be aboard m8s...
An update - I got 3 people interested but one person, I believe, won't be available until next week so 2 more and I can start the game this Sunday. Otherwise, we can start the 21st.
I think the 21st could be perfect to have time to develop all the characters and to integrate them with the other ones and with DM needs, also we could try to correctly set up Maptools and Skype before and you'll have time to find the PCs still missing... Then I suggest to don't start this week but the next one (in the mean time we could start a post discussion threat somewhere...)
My character is in the forging process right now... just passed the brainstorming phase...
Sneaky, I'll probably set up a Google group this weekend (therefore we can use manageable e-mail correspondances). For now, this thread will serve well enough for discussion.
As the week comes to a close, the game is more likely to start on June 21st. Now, that is Father's Day, so if there are going to be scheduling problems, I could instead run on Saturday afternoon (June 20th). Prospective players, let me know what works for you.

For me 20th or 21st are ok.
Which kind of class do you prefer for my character? At the moment I have just chosen race (human / shoanti) and some background who could link me to Korvosa:
- somehow I'd like to be historically linked to native shoanti people who lived in peace in Korvosa area before Cheliax invasion
to Gaedren Lamm:
- my sister after our diparture from our tribe (most now dead or slaves in Kaer Maga) was one of the Little Lamms but she, older, imposed me to stay away from his refuge and she was helping, when possible, my bad life in the Shingles
to the campaign evolution:
- I shown Lamm refuge to a friend of mine, a fortune teller's son, but could not help him recovering an unknown object in order to respect the promise done to my sister...
to add a little of motivation/misteries:
- from some time I'm missing news from both my sister and my friend...
Of course everything could still be revised... let me know...

Of course everything could still be revised... let me know... Regarding classes, the contents of the AP assume a standard party but I, as a DM, insist that you feel free to play whatever you want. I'll be making adjustments on my end and I'll assume the players as a group will create strategies in order to compensate for whatever skills you are missing. If knowing what the other players are playing will help you make a decision, know that one is playing a monk and the other is playing a wizard. As for your background, it sounds great and I also can see it fitting the AP nicely.
Hey, Sneaky. Fire me a e-mail with your e-mail address so I can send you an invite to the discussion group.
are you still accepting players? I've got my heart set on an urban ranger or perhaps a monk.
negative wrote: are you still accepting players? I've got my heart set on an urban ranger or perhaps a monk. Yes. Just fire an e-mail and I'll add you to the dicussion group.
An update: We have yet to have our first game. Currently, we are scheduled to play on July 11th (with a possible rescheduling to the 12th, a Sunday). There are 3 definites but I would like at least one more player onboard before we begin, so please contact me if you're interested.
Sorry, this game's been cancelled.
