Megan Robertson has generously volunteered to run a Second Darkness PbP campaign. And because I like to organize things and I'm a sucker for gaming I thought I'd set-up the recruitment thread.
So this is it. Post your character concepts. We're looking for four to five players. Characters will be using 20 pt buy and paizo publications only.
Anything else you'd like to add, Megan?
Will be glad to either play a Zen Archer or an Arcane Duelist. Will adjust if needed.
Only thank you for keeping me organised!
Seems the least I can do for all that you're doing for us players. :)
Kozaric and KenderKin: Can you provide any more information about your characters? Simple background/ personality info perhaps?
Background for Kozaric, the half elf Zen Archer.
Kozaric has finally made his way to Riddleport and is starting to finally understand his human heritage.
I'm up for this. I'm thinking a human fighter. An ex-sailor with a short fuse who has taken up bar brawling for the thrill of it.
Megan this was my CoT character, Should I convert him or maybe use a different one, based on 20pt buy?
He was built using the Teifling (Rakshasa heritage)
I am flexible, but could do with an academic bard, got into some serious trouble in Korvosa and wisely exiled himself to the bustle of Riddleport, where now he tries to etch a living by following less scholarly pursuits...

Here is my hungry ghost monk as discussed in the other thread.
Any room for one more? Was hoping to either play a LG Cleric-Knight seeking to regain family honor and combine the best attributes of Taldor and Andoran or try out a Flame Oracle. Preferably the first.
I haven't seen a healer yet so I'mm sure you would get a nod.
<===== Full character I talked about previously in thread.
What holes are we missing, I could totally go for one of the new classes, like an Oracle. I'm already playing an Alchemist for my PFS PbP game, I could play pretty much anything.
Okay, so far we've got:
A half elf Zen Archer
Human Male Witch
Human fighter/ ex-sailor
Tiefling Bard
Academic Bard
Female Human Bard
Hungry Ghost Monk
LG Cleric/ Knight
Urban Skirmisher Ranger
That fills pretty much every space except straightforward casters (wizard or sorcerer). Now there's only space for five players at the max. So someone's going to have to whittle them down. People can keep bringing character concepts ideas to the thread but at some point choices will have to be made.
Megan won't be able to post again until tomorrow (9/13) after 7am GMT +1. So you've probably got up until then.
Ok, i'll take a stab at this. I'm thinking of a Human or Half-elven Infernal bloodline Sorcerer. Specializing in being more of a "face" type than a blaster.
Will have to give it some thought and post up a background tomorrow.
Female Half-Orc Sorcerer (Draconic, Brass), CG
Replace Orc Ferocity with Sacred Tattoos (+1 to all saves)
STR 14(5), DEX 12(2), CON 12(2), INT 12(1), WIS(10)(0) CHA 16+2(10)=18
Traits: Killer (+N damage on critical hits), Looking For Work [Diplomacy]
Feats: Deepsight (Darkvision 120')
Skills:
Intimidate: +10 (1 rank, 3 class skill, 2 for Half Orc, 4 for CHA)
Diplomacy: +9 (1 rank, 3 class skill, 1 for Trait, 4 for CHA)
Spells:
0: Resistance, Acid Orb, Detect Poison, Detect Magic
1: Burning Hands (1d4+1 Fire Damage), Hypnosis
Favored Class Bonus: +1/2 damage to all fire based spells.
Equipment:
Falchion
A set of robes, embroidered in green and gold.
Samenya's mother, Tanila, was an adventuress, a sorceress who was the great great granddaughter of a brass dragon. She was separated from her adventuring party, and captured by the Deep Orcs of [Insert Campaign Locale here].
What happened next can't be stated in any genteel way. She was raped. Eventually, she was rescued, the Deep Orc tribe more or less exterminated over the course of that adventure.
Tanila respected all life, even the child of rape in her womb. Against the advice of her friends, the pregnancy was not terminated by herb or spell.
The birthing was terrifying and painful...and the child was born with the deep jade hide of the Deep Orcs, and a set of birthmarks that manifested as whorls of draconic protection. The face was striking, a mixture of human, Orcish and vaguely draconic bone structures.
After she was weaned, her mother sporadically took up adventuring again, leaving Semenya with nurses and guardians - the world needed saving. By the time Semenya could talk, her mother had effectively retired from adventuring to protect her daughter.
Even with her mother's protection, Samenya's childhood was challenging. At one point, teased by children for being taller than they, and worst of all, different, she lashed out, and the aspect of the dragon transformed her hands into claws, and one child nearly died, the rest screaming "Monster!" as they fled.
At this, Tanila took closer action on protecting her daughter, teaching her right from wrong, and teaching her to cherish and protect those weaker than herself, and to not let the temper of the dragons, or of the Deep Orcs rule her. Even discovering the nature of her conception was tempered with this message.
Still, the blood of dragons, and the heritage of the Deep Orcs have granted her power, and muscle memories generations deep have given her facility with a falchion and the greataxe. That power must eventually come to good use, and Riddleport is as good a place as any. She's currently working as a negotiator for [Insert Interesting NPC here], and looking for a chance to make a difference.
Appearance:
Semenya is a 6'2" tall woman with skin the color of deep jadeite, and a face that has a mildly protruding snout and jaw, with deep black eyes that appear to have nothing but pupils. Her canines go beyond her lips, and her entire exposed skin is covered in whorls of brass colored tattoos. She has broad shoulders, broad hips, and is muscular. Her hair is lustrous black with a green tint, and is worn in braids down her back. She dresses in embroidered robes, and sometimes has a falchion in a scabbard over her back.
Notes:
It should be clear how I've justified the melange of abilities here. Her starting gear comes out to 75 gp for the falchion, and roughly 3 gp for nice clothing.
She's got 2 GP in loose change for food.
Well, being a scholar Cavan would probably be there to study the 'Blot.'
Well, going from bar to bar isn't cheap, so Kurth would definitely be at the competition to win some money he can waste.
Oh, and i have the players guide.
Kozaric: Since you were the one who was going to get the ball rolling before I stepped in the way, do you want to just pick characters and create an OOC thread?
I have the Second Darkness Guide, and used it pretty heavily on the monk's backstory.
Sure, will probably be after i get back from work though, unless i can roll my stealth on my boss.
Ok got time before work so here goes....
Party:
Kozaric- Zen Archer
Mikhail- Monk
Ravn - Fighter
Beckett - Cleric
Deleon - Bard
Alts:
Xaandros
AdAstraGames
Unless Megan vetoes me.
Will set up OOC thread noow
Good choices, Kozaric!
There are a lot of good characters presented here. One of these days I'll probably run a game and there are definitely some options here that I would have loved to see in play.
That shows, Mikhail, he seems well embedded into Riddleport society. You are probably well-enough known to the gambling community that you can get the position you're after. Have you fought publicly, or do you prefer to spectate and train in private?
Megan, he is more of a spectator, afraid that he does not have quite enough knowledge to fight in the arena yet. He is the "face in the crowd" that is at every big fight.
Megan, if I got too specfific on entanglements at the arena or with Zincher, let me know and I can peel it back some.
Bumping this for the peeps that were selected to see.
Thanks for the vote of confidence Wander. If you start a game I would be more than happy to play.
I'll bow out, I have plenty of other PbP games I'm in.
good hunting guys.
I'm running 2 games and playing 3 FWIW
