Hello all. I've been a bit swamped lately at work but the itch to start up a game is too strong to ignore. I know that the holidays are coming up, but I just want to see if any of my old pals are still around. Anyone who has played in one of my games and enjoyed it gets first shot.
For those who haven't, I'm considering a Pathfinder PBP, core rules only, playing Morrick Mansion by Necromancer games. Starting level for new characters will probably be 2, using 20 point buy and half normal starting gold. I'd describe myself as a slightly zany old-school hack'n'slash DM.
For those who care, I could probably be convinced to reopen Barakus if you should prefer that. :)
The game is on after Epiphany (January 6), but I want to give the old gang a chance to see this. There will probably be a spot or two for newcomers too. ;)

Great to see you guys. I have Ainvar's mail, so I'll probably send him a pleading mail. I just wanted to see if I could catch your attention. Zark will probably not be playing, but I guess I'll have to track down at least Robin and Kevin if they don't find me first.
And of course you could create a new character should you prefer that.

Well, since there seems to be a fair bit of interest, I think there is no harm in getting the ball rolling. This is how we'll do it:
To reflect the unfairness of the world, anyone with an existing character in my campaign is entitled to keep your xp total, whether you keep your character or make a new one. That should put most of you at level 3. All others start at 3739 xp, putting you at level 2 (we're using medium progression), but with hope of advancement.
I'll start with eight players. If everything works out, we'll start by clearing a certain undead-infested cave. Core classes and the ones from the APG are acceptable. Races are core with some minor tweaks. The campaign setting is the Wilderlands and I use Pathfinder deities.
I'll need a roll call, so please tell me what you want to play (class and race) and whether we'll see any familiar faces.

Oooh, it's payback time! Welcome back!
To be clear: everyone that's posted so far is in. I just need to track down Robin and then I'm good. I'm starting a discussion thread right away. Post there to discuss your character concepts (unless of course you'll be using one of the old-timers). By the way, sorcerer is fine.

The question would be... who to return? Or should it be someone new...?
Ainvar just turned down a spot in one of my games because his "dance card is full," so I wouldn't hold out hope there. But then, it is you, BT...
Oh, oh, pick me, pick me!!
Sorry, Shisumo, but it is Black Tom and he's the first one to give me a shot, so I have to be interested. Besides three weeks gives me plenty of time to have one my other characters go nuclear at the wrong time....
And technically, I didn't turn down the spot in your game totally because of the full dance card, there were extenuating circumstances that were not worth explaining then or now.

Roylenna Brenoien |

Thalyn! Good to hear from you. I think I'll stay with Ka'kara if that is ok with everyone.
BT, have you heard anything from AinvarG (a.k.a. Roylenna)?
EDIT: Just went back and saw that Shisumo said AinvarG was to busy :(
*Sniff, sniff* You all missed me, didn't you? *sniff*
Excuse me, I'll be fine, be right back.

Ka'kara is always up for some more action....just don't make her angry :)
Might have to hunt some of the others down as they may not be checking the Gamer Connection thread. I know I wasn't but just happened to get a bug and see what was out there today.

The crushing hug she receives in return says it all.....now where is that sly Sandros?
Yeah, was getting to like Felicia and Mahaffy. Could always re-re-purpose Felicia (or a close look-a-like) We wouldn't barely notice the extra "L" in her name ;)

Excellent suggestion. I'll vote for that!

Me too. *does the Snoopy happy dance*. Seriously, it's great to have you guys back. Sorry for the lapse but this fall has been really rough.
Seriously, I don't mind if you prefer to create new characters, but it's nice to have some continuity.
Great, now I have the Peanuts theme in my head.
Oh, no you don't, you're not making me go away again. I've been wanting to see how I turn out!

The slots are filling up.
So far we have Ka'kara, Roylenna, Tika, Badru and Rhianna.
I'll take eight characters for the preliminary raid and then see how many players are still with us after that. Seri, Kevin-Eric, Gerald are first in line. The rest of you I can't promise to play but you are welcome to create characters and I'll slot you in at the first opportunity.
The module we play (after the introduction) is going to be Morrick Mansion by Necromancer Games. At the moment you are a little heavy on the arcanists, but we'll see who stays. In the long run I aim for six players. I just like to kick off with a Battle Royale.

Welcome then. Just feel free to jump on the bandwagon. How soon can you put your character together? You can meet the others at the inn (possibly even looking for them) with some holy water and other suitable equipment (subject to your total gold of course, and remember that you start with half the normal amount).
As soon as you are good to go, we are.
