Looking for players for homebrew horror PBEM.


Gamer Connection


I am looking to start a 3.5 D&D pbem. This particular campaign favors a diverse party, so feel free to create a character you will truly enjoy playing rather than simply filling in a gap.

Campaign will include various horror and mystery elements.

Seeking 6-8 players who can be true to their characters and are able to post at least twice per week.

If interested, please email me your finished character sheets along with the titles of the books you used for reference. I will work with all selected players on back stories to make them appropriate to the setting.

Catch you on the flipside...


Hi Zahara,

I'd be interested if posting 2x/week is what you are looking for. I would be unable to post every day.

Also:

Is character creation point buy?
Is it level 1


Yes, 2x weekly would be just fine. I have a pretty full schedule myself.

Yes, level one will be our starting point, though if I dont hear back from enough players I may have you level before we begin.

My apologies. Standard 25 point buy, except instead of 8 you may start at 9 base.

1:1 up to 14, 1:2 to 16 and 1:3 to 18

Oh, and excessive metagaming will have nefarious results. So for you and any others who may read this, be warned. :)


Thanks, I'll get to it.


Have a couple ideas brewing. Setting info would help with background and a finished character concept. Also, will the game be combat or interation driven. Wilderness or City environment?

Nice horns.
:P

You will begin the game in a war torn world. Suspicion, mistrust, murder, political corruption and mourning are plagues upon the provinces. Times are dark indeed.
Your backstory will determine exactly why you are called to the capitol city... But all is not as it seems and you will soon find that to be very, very apparent.
Any race, any class would have some purpose for being here. Whether they are refugees, healers, prisoners, drafted soldiers or merchants. You have leeway there and it will depend on your backstory.
The city of Kothas is very large, a port city surrounded by thick forests. Even the heavy mists that have taken up residence lately, are hard pressed to shield the bright walls and towers from view. The coast is rocky and cool most of the year, whipped by the wind.

Trade is all but halted lately. Rumours in the air tell a tale even more bleak and desperate on the horizon.

Once you choose a race and class, I will give you a corresponding piece of your backstory and you can flesh it out from there

Kothas is a heavily guarded city and the roads are closed. You have not been here in at least several years if ever. I will guide you once I have your information. Once I have all the players I need I will begin a PbP thread here on paizo.


Oh, and it will not be combat driven, but will have it's fair share. No class will be useless, so be sure to choose a character you would enjoy roleplaying rather than worry about what gap to fill. I will adjust the campaign accordingly. Once I obtain six character sheets I will announce the start of the game. If I do not manage to recruit all the players I'd like after a reasonable time, I'll level you before we begin. Either way I'm looking to begin relatively quickly.

Any character barebones concepts I can mull over?


I would be interested in playing this character (his backstory is in the profile). He was created for a CotCT that never really got that far, and I had a lot of fun playing him; he led to some interesting interactions with others and had a lot of potential for growth as a character. If he looks like something that might fit in your campaign, I can make setting/story appropriate adjustments to him as necessary.

Liberty's Edge

Human fighter. Former soldier, or mercenary. Core only stuff, weapon focus tree. Swordmaster sort of dude.

Can we have a traits as per arcana or perhaps pathfinder??

Also what gold are we starting at max do we roll are we naked what??


Atherton, He looks good. Just downlevel him to 1. I'll need to look up and bookmark your feats etc. Just make sure theyre all 3.5. And I may need to adjust your inventory.

Divine shadow, Max gold, yes, but run your purchases by me first via email. Lots of things will be unavailable. Very little magic and enchanted items are for sale. I am unfamiliar with pathfinder at the moment, so I'm looking to keep it 3.5.

Wandslinger, Makes sense. The wars have pretty much forced people to become soldiers in some areas. Given the chaotic and unstable nature of conflict there would be a whole lot of former soldiers or mercenaries. You've got a very easy character to adapt to my setting here. :)

Email me what youve got when youre ready, I'll adjust from there.

Actually, I'm interested in this character. Just mind that we'll not be using harrow points etc.

I will give you your backstory relevant info tonight, all. If you havent given me an inkling as to what your character has been doing/ is all about/values etc, go ahead and drop me a line and I'll set everyone up.

Awesome. The backstory is what's important in the profile; I can re-roll all the stat stuff no problem. I'll try to get it done at some point today or tomorrow.


Yes, I very much like his backstory and can work it into the setting with some minor and superficial tweaks, no problem. He seems to be pretty dynamic. I look forward to seeing him in action.

By the way, One aspect of the backstories that I will be controlling is how you came to be where the game opening brings you. Dont worry about that, and I will be making a point to personalize it for each character. Just remember that times are hard, friends are scarce and war is rampant.

Atherton, I have your backstory and will paste it to my records, but if everyone else can email it to me that works best. Once that is done I'll set the starting time.

I think I'm repeating myself...ah well.


Hello Zahara,

I'm interested in your campaign. I'll roll a character today and try to submit it to you sometime tonight.


Hi there Deleon. Good to have you.
I trust youve read my posts here where I already repeated myself several times, so I'll not do it again. I look forward to looking over your character once it's finished, and giving you a few set parts of your backstory. Also, please note your av name on this thread in your email so I know who has responded via email and who has not. It helps me keep tabs on the number of players I am involved with.

Good times


Awesome. I'll get stats up tonight and once you let me know what setting adjustments need to be made, I'll edit the backstory accordingly.


Sounds good. Once you've got stats up just holler. I'll be writing up the info for you this evening and posting it as a spoiler here.


Would you have room for two more people one would be an elven archer the other an elven rogue possibly.


Welcome.

I could possibly accept them both, yes. Please give me a more detailed character concept for each of them when you get a chance. Just a brief outline of upbringing, goals, way of life and fears will suffice for now, as well as your stats.


And for all of you who have been given the go ahead, feel free to post your race and class on My OOC Thread. You may include your backstory elements in a spoiler, or simply email it to me. That way, we will be able to see the party forming and have a clearer idea of who is who. Once you're sure about your character post him/her there. It'll also act as my head count.
Thanks all.

Silver Crusade

Will Email you a character tonight if you are still interested. Probably a Tracker of sum sort with both Rogue and Ranger/Fighter levels. Will have him in persuit of his latest prey. You can pick what the offense is of the person I am chaseing. Race will be either elven or human. Leaning towards human.


Here is the Character. I plan on useing, I will post a link to his Sheet later.


Welcome! Yes. You're in, The story works nicely and since we have a party primarily made of rogues, your tracking gives a nice spin to separate yourself. Every character has a strong identifying difference so far and I think it's only fair. (Normally I would frown on this but in the world I've created, the vast majority of people have picked up at least a few rogueish habits in order to survive. It would make sense.) I am adjusting backstories, giving setting information, and verifying stats and feats today. Feel free to post in the ooc thread listed above.

See you inside. Looking to pick up one more player and then we can begin. I'll give it three days.


Taking myself out. Sorry. I don't think I have the time right now and don't want the group to constantly be slowed up waiting for me. Have a great time. I'll be reading of your adventures.


Well I appreciate the heads up. Thanks for your interest!
