Greetings!
Since I'm new here and new to play by post, I will make this as painless as possible.
I'm looking to run a game with four players in a mostly cliche but ultimately awesome campaign I'm brewing in my head. I would like four 'classic' characters (AKA boring and cliche) to stomp some dungeons and kill some goblins and other baddies.
Requirements:
Level 1
Use this array, arranged as desired for Abilities: 16, 15, 14, 12, 11, 10
Core content from the Big Book only
Good or neutral aligned
There will be no use of Prestige Classes. Only base classes are allowed, but multiclassing is okay within those bounds.
A strong focus on party cohesion and spirited teamwork - A bit of strife and argument is expected but please don't start out at each other's throats... I would like if you work together to create a bit of a PARTY backstory but this isn't necessarily a requirement.
These guidelines are a bit strict I admit, but adherence to them is rewarded...And if you don't like my style of game, there's no need for you to join.
The setting is a homebrew using Greyhawk gods as they are pretty familiar. We shall be starting out in the major trade city of this new setting, known as the Mirror City, so I encourage a bit of creativity in your character's background. Make up a home town, home region or even just barely outline whatever you like. The more you give me to work with, the more I'll involve in the game.
Any questions or concerns let me know.
Sign me up for a cleric.
can i play an elf wizard?
this is an old character from a now dead pbm, i will convert him to core rules (and alter stats) but i will otherwise try to keep him the same as i can
what is our starting GP
Rav
Now all we need is a... :P
Sounds good guys.. I'm at work and away from my books. Usually I rule that we get 'standard' gear/two or three weapons based on your class and 5 gp extra to start out with. If we're cool with that and no one goes crazy on 'standard' it shall stand or I will set a starting amount by the time I get home later.
I would like to play the Fighter if possible. Human, named Jylan Kynnslayer.
That works perfectly. Now if you can get some characters made we will be off and rolling. Use whichever format you like for the actual sheet so long as it includes all the necessary info.
If you don't mind adding another player to this, I've been itching to play a dwarven bard for a while. Of course, he's probably not 'boring' enough :).

My profile is up and includes backgrond. Yet to do traits though.
Uhhh I may be supremely dense, but in which chapter would I find traits?
Also I am fine with adding one extra player as a wildcard.. As soon as I have five complete characters (first post, first served) we shall lock in and start the game.

I take it that when you say the 'Big Book' you mean Pathfinder, or are you refering to standard 3.5?
OK, here's my bard (see the profile). I still need to write up a background but he's pretty much done.
The traits are an optional rule they released in the adventure path's players' guides and in this web supplement of the rpg : Pathfinder traits
Basicly they are "half a feat" based on background.

You'd be looking here: Traits. Not in the book, unfortunately.
-Reinala
A few changes and I an ready.

Yes I mean the Pathfinder book. I love how it's a giant heavy beast. It's the only book we'll be using for the purposes of everything but monsters.. .Which you need not be concerned about *evil grin*
I shall review the submitted characters when I wake.
I dont think I shall bother with traits if thats ok. Just fancy playing a really basic character with an interesting background
Seems like most things are in order so far
Jylan's initiative score isn't calculated on the sheet to +7 as it should be, nor are his skills done properly it would seem - you get 2+int mod (1) + 1 (human) and possibly 1 more (favoured class) skill point/level and you didn't add the +3 bonus for the ones you have being class skills. Also your bonus to hit with the longsword should be +5 due to weapon focus. The history is nice though and it will net you a family signet ring, with the symbol scratched out, which acts as a ring of protection+1 for one encounter per day - just tell me when you want to activate it.
Reinala seems pretty complete as far as I can see. I will allow her to have a guild seal which is enchanted to appear as a simple piece of jewellery to any aside from those others who wear them. It will grant feather falling a number of rounds per day equal to your rogue level.
Nevil needs to choose a Greyhawk god unfortunately, which limits choices due to alignment. Also your sheet seems to calculate stats based on a +1 modifier to constitution (hp/fort save) as opposed to the +2 that you have.
Grunhild looks well put together, let me know if there is a history forthcoming.
Loren seems to still need to be retooled to my setup
Viper I can only allow the next completed characters, as there are already five potential players. I have been neglecting my duties as a DM and updating, so I may have to allow a sixth..

I have a rogue from another pbp, lvl 1, enjoyed the character greatly, will have to adjust stats and monetary gains (gp/equipment).
The backstory-slight adjustment unless you're using the Pathfinder Campaign Setting then I can include it with almost no changes.
OR
A cleric. Same adjustments as above, background only thing needing big change.
OR
A very roleplay centered character, skilled in non-combat situations and able in combat.
I am very roleplay centric as a player and DM, I will act as such.
My two aliases are in my profile, along with backgrounds and the rest.
Gregory Thrune (rogue, associated with Cheliax and that family) and Amelia Delante (cleric of Irori, hardnosed, addicted to knowledge)
Well we're playing in a homebrew setting... it's very barebones right now, generic fantasy setting - the others have drawn up a bit of backstory including their own hometowns. You're free to play whatever you like if you get me a sheet and possibly some background.
For DM, basic background:
As I departed my home, I felt a strange and unusual energy begin to flow from within me. Father always said I had potential, but only when I made the effort to explore would I awaken it. Whatever it is, I will explore deeper than I ever imagined, within myself and my connections to the world."
basic background intro, what I thought up on the spot. Stats and all that mechanical stuff I can do later, I'm at work. If you can wait another 2 hours, I can have Narian ready to go. More info in the profile.
I've added some info about Grunhild's personality and background. Feel free to comment/suggest.
Good background for Grunhild. The horn shall be masterwork, a gift from his family or an heirloom he managed to get hold of in his travels.
Let's increase the use of Jylan's ring to twice daily.
Added more info; need feats, spells and equipment. I can roleplay all the rest easily without such things, I think as such anyway.
I'm off to the gym, need to work out, get back into proper shape (took a couple month break after achieving very high on my PT test (292), I usually train up for them then slack off afterward; I will learn to maintain, such is my goal)
I will complete it tonite, unfamiliar with Pathfinder but learning.
Namaste
Looks good so far, you should know that in the pathfinder game you get 1 skill rank per level, and a +3 misc. bonus if you put a rank into a class skill. Roleplaying the rest is fine but I would like a spell list and feat list before we proceed if it's not too much.
All is complete except for equipment, such can be done later (basic equipment to live is there).
Off to bed now, is 1030 pm and work calls at 5 am.
Namaste
Done
i've updated my character
im still trying to get to grips with core rule book so sorry about any mistakes

Done. I'm going to leave traits blank for now.
Think everything is ok now. Thanks for the twice daily as well.
Updated equipment/gold/weight, basic equipment accounted for. Can get more but that's all I need right now.
The traits, not seeing them, so I'll leave them alone for now
"I, Narian, son of Ellor, am prepared for my sojourn"
I've added the masterwork horn to my character sheet. Let's say it's a gift from someone in another clan of dwarves that Grunhild visited.
*Pulls out nail file and begins cleaning his nails while whistling tunelessly.*
Narian has set upon his path, meandering down the road.....
Now in sight of Mirror City, Grunhild blows a few notes on in his horn to announce his presence. He just smiles and laughs at the nearby startled merchants.
Still here, would like to do this thing.
Life happens
