1st level generic adventure recruitment


Gamer Connection


Hello:

I am thinking in starting a PBP experience so I am setting an adventure in which I can start a new campaign depending on players response.
This will be a generic 1st level adventure, set in a classic medieval-fantastic world.
If the adventure finishes well and all the players show enough interest I will continue developing a campaing as far as you want to play.
I will use plain 3.5 edition D&D rules, I am not so familiar with PF yet so since I mostly know the classic 3.5 set of rules I will use them.
I will use only the 3 core books so no other classes, feat or spells from another sources will be allowed.
Create your character and post ir here, I know what a pain in the ass is to create a character and be rejected soI won't reject your character unless it show serious flaws or repeat a class that already is in use.
Firts 5 players submitting will be accepted.
There are 6 slots one is for my character, an Elf Wizard.
I want to keep it classic and simple so I need:

2 fighters
1 cleric
1 rogue
1 ranger

You can choose any race but I would appreciate variety and don't just stick with humans.

IMPORTANT:

Once the adventure starts you must be willing to post at least 3 times a day if you think you won't have the time to do so, please don't apply, this game is not for you. I want this game be fast and don't stuck because one or two players have dissapear for days.

Thanks for reading and I wait for your applications.


I'm thinking a Cleric. As for the race. Whats the limits with Level Adj. None?


Yes, only the core races allowed and everyone starts at level one, I want above average characters so we start with 32 points to buy, use this system.
Moreover all characters start with a minor magic item that must be approved by the DM.


Okay then. How about a Half-elf Cleric? I don't want to actually create the character unless I'm accepted. But if I am I can quickly flesh one up.


I've never done a play by post before but I'd love to try. I haven't played 3.5 too much but I have the player's handbook and if you're willing to take someone new to the experience, I'd be happy to play a human fighter. I'm open to trying something else though.


Aetholus go ahead with your Half-Elf cleric, Tristan accepted too so start fleshing your Human Fighter, still 3 slots available, next people to apply please try other races other than half-elf, elf or human however allowed if you wish.

Hey, I updated the Ability Scores using the 32 point buy system in your previous post and added a bit of detail on Tristan. I'm not sure exactly sure how much info you want so let me know if you need more and I'll be happy to comply. Thanks for accepting me. Looking forward to the game :D


Well you should post your character here (or a link to it) in order to review it. Just plain stats and gear, no need of background if you don't want add any. By the way you have the standard average of gold given to your class to buy your equipment.

Tristan the character is ok, now please download this custom inventory sheet, it is the one I use for my players and allow me having track of encumbrance in an easy way. After you have filled please upload it and give me the link and don't forget to update it periodically as the game advances.

Ok, I worked on it a little on my lunch break but I'll have to upload it later. Where would you like me to upload it to?


Mediafire will be ok, just sign up and upload all what you want, it is free. I am a little worried, no one else besides you has showed interest.


Yeah I actually noticed that myself. I'm pretty excited to play though :\


I am looking for alternative PBP sites so if a find another one with more players I will make you know. For now let's wait, two more players besides us and we start.


Sounds good, can't wait!


Tristan, be patient I am trying to find more players in another site, I will inform you.


Sounds good, I keep checking in here and there. Look forward to hearing from you.


Trying to invite this pal to the game I hope he comes.


Tristan look for your personal messages.


Lol I did not find the option to send you a personal message but no problem I just wanted to tell you that I am starting this same campign in this site http://rpol.net/ under the name 3.5 medieval fantasy world and with the name of Patshir, go there and you will have your slot.


when will this game be starting? Is there any back round that might be relevant before creating a character? I would be interested in playing an elf ranger.

Finally Where are you located? The only reason I ask is because if your in CA or somewhere on the west coast your 4 hours time difference from me and that might affect my ability to post on a regular basis... I'm on eastern standard time in VA...

Nice to hear about you, as you can see a few people have posted on this game however I think I can run it with 3 of us, Tristan is one accepted player, you would be the second one. I don't think your time difference will affect the game since this is not a real time game, you can post when you can and we will follow the game as possible since probably all have different times.


Hey Fanman, sorry it's been a while. I'll check that site out. Are you running it there or are you going to be running it on here as well?


The other game is slow and only have one player too, however the first site to get ar least three I think is the one where I will run the campaign I think. The other site is specialized in this kind of games so I think the option could be there.


Alright, well I signed up for that site but I couldn't find the game. I'm not sure if I'm looking for it wrong or what. If I can find it, either is fine with me lol


The game is over here.

The name is 3.5 Medieval Fantasy World.

I still couldn't find it...

Also, I have changed my mind on race. I would like to play a half-orc Ranger if thats ok. I will build it and post it.


look for my game master name over there patshir


I sent a request to be added to the OCC thread. I have never used that site before and have no idea how it works. I don't see any RSS capabilities on the site either which makes it harder for me to see when things are updated. Do you know of any?


Dizzy you have been added to the players list, however the game over there is really really slow, I decided to run the game over there only because my campaign here had litlle interest. If tristan and you are willing to post at least once a day I can run the game here for the three of us and invite others in the run if possible.


I can post at least once a day Monday - Friday and will attempt to post Saturdays and Sundays as well. I'm often out of town on weekends though, so I can't guarantee I will be able to post those days.

I would much rather it be on the paizo boards if everyone was ok with that... I'm new to the pbp and still trying to learn the basics and it might be harder to learn on 2 separate platforms. All the threads are also RSS capable here so it makes it a lot easier for me to keep track and up to date.


Throwing my hand up as interested in playing ranger or fighter. I'm headed over to the rpol site now to see what you've got going.

Cheers.


Welcome aboard Vedry, the problem with the rpol site is the interface sometimes difficult to handle with by newcomers, I would prefer running the game here so those who agree please let me know.


Ok. I'm down to play anything non magical, Or a ranger. Looks like we have a wizard and a fighter for sure. Then we have someone interested in a ranger. I don't mind playing a rouge if he wants the ranger slot. We would need a cleric to round off the party. know of any takers?


Ok I think this is a sort of last call to this game: all those who want to play have to post a character sheet finished, you have 3 days to do so, otherwise I will cancel this game since most of the interested people has not written since several days.


Hey do you have a rogue yet, if you don't can I take the spot as rogue?


I can play a fighter if you are still accepting or really anything you need me to except cleric. *shutters* *looks fondly at double bladed scimitar* Also are we using pf classes or 3.5 since you said 3.5 rules. Basically are we playing pf or 3.5?

Applications still accepted but my worries are most appliers dissappears for days, I need people compromised with the game so if you think you have the energies and the time to post at least once a day, then apply.

I can say you the same than previous post, only adding that the rules set is 3.5 D&D, that is you need the D&D 3.5 player's handbook or d20srd to play.

I can accept classes, feats, spells from other books previous DM approval.

Two more days to go.


Well since a few people has showed interest for this game these few people has literally disappeared then I am officially canceling the game, thanks anyway to all people that posted in here. Peace.


I think one of your issues man is most folks here have switched over to pathfinder, which keeps the interest low. Just like running Nwod or shadowrun, or eclipse phase or the like on here {Ok somewhat better then those}

Well, it IS Paizo's boards. You want to run 3.5, you've got a better chance posting it on Wizards' message board.


Well no, that be a good place for 4e game however. We do have a few 4e games going here however. It is just most people on theses boards have switched from 3.5 to pathfinder. Not all of them but enough that finding players for a 3.5 games is harder then it would be elsewhere.

Well, it's just cause overall Pathfinder is plain ol' better. Slightly more simplified, less broken, and more balanced. Learning it takes maybe a day of reading if you know 3.5 Plus there's not 100+ splatbooks to read through.
