Waves a lit torch to keep back the Post Monster General.
I see there is some new player interest on the boards and would like to throw my hat in to get the accustomed to the ways of PBP. I'm currently running a rather successful Kingmaker AP which can be found here, for an example of my GMing.
Masters of the Fallen Fortress is Paizo's free module for Free Game Day which is designed to help introduce players to the Pathfinder Society. It's also a nice little dungeon crawl for 1st level characters which should get you to level 2. It takes place just outside of the eclectic city of Absalom, the birthplace of heroes and gods.
I'm mainly looking for newer players who are interested in getting familiar with the dice roller, boards, creating profiles, and making characters. I'll take vet. players if there's a shortage of interest and figure out a final group on Friday.
Rules:
-20pt buy
-Average starting gold
-Core races
-Core and APG classes
-Any 2 traits
A great resource for building characters is the d20pfsrd, and their section on Character Creation. Backstories do not need to be elaborate as you are only level one and have not accomplished many heroic deeds, but Absalom leaves you open to many interesting options.

5-6 months with no combat! For shame. Well like I said, this is a good ol' fashion dungeon crawl. I keep a good pace with my games especially combat. I have everyone post what they want to do then bring it together in a summary with the bad guy actions. ie. boar fight
There will be as much roleplay as the group wants, and certainly fighting.
We'll see who else is interested, but you count as pretty new.

Here is an example of a Play-By-Post alias. If you click this name you will see it links to a profile which I have setup similar to a Character Sheet. I would implore you to read through a couple pages of my other game. It can help you get an idea for how it's done.
If you want to make a physical character sheet first using the character creation rules you can then create an Alias for the character.
To create an Alias simply click on My Account, sign in, scroll down to the Messageboard Alliases section, and click on Create new messageboard alias.
Put in your character name, click on change to select an avatar. Afterwards submit your changes. In your Alias section you can click on the name of your Alias and then Edit My Profile. Once in there setup something that looks similar to this characters profile.

Deiros, Javell, Draztik, and any other new players who drop in here while I'm gone for the night please feel free to make an alias with the character you would like. Or post the character idea if you need help making it.
For the vets who would like in please keep an eye on the thread or check back on Thursday morning to see if there are enough people for a final team. We'll finalize characters over the weekend and I'll start an In Character thread next Monday.
If there are enough newbies vs vets who want to play I might just split them up into two groups of [2 new, 2 old] and run the module side by side.

Thanks i think it'll be alot of fun.
I will write up as much on the character as I can without my books.
I was rear ended over the weekend on my way home from my RL Kingmaker game and my books are all in my car atm. my car was towed because I had to be moved by ambulance to a hospital, I wont be able to go down to the place and get my stuff out til wednesday due to my work schedule.
I'm also on yahoo messenger at draztik0303 if ur willin to help with that, otherwise I'll create as much of the char as I can in the meantime.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

I'll give it a try if you'll have me. I am new to pbp (first time), but eager to learn. Let's see if I can wrap my head around this whole character creation process and submit something in the next couple of hours. I am available to post at least a few times a day on most days, and would of course give advance notice if not.

Would like to throw my name in here as well. Have been itching to get into a PbP game, but have always had time issues come up that prevented me from being able to fully commit. Those are now addressed, and I'd love to get some gaming in. Current preference would be to play a dwarf fighter, should be able to have a character worked up later today/tonight.
Regards,
AJC

Could have a human fighter done later today. It's a human fighter but I noticed Draztik has one as well. Do I need to come up with something else or can I keep what I got?
Javell I'm open to playin somethin else if you had a hard char concept in mind, I just threw somethin together real quick before work this morning, since this is a one shot to just get us acclimated to the pbp style, I'm really open for whatever. i'd like to play a physical class I like fighter but I could just as easily do a monk,barb pally or ranger or somethin, doesnt matter to me really.

I'd be interested if you still have slots available. While I've played tons of traditional tabletop RPG's, I've only tried PBP once, and that attempt fell apart shortly shortly after inception. All of the players and the GM had zero PBP experience, so the deck was stacked against us. I've been interested in PBP, and I like your idea of one module to give PBP a try. Please let me know if you have any slots available and I'll submit a character concept.
