I too am paying attention, but not as a potential player; rather, as a potential DM.
I've been considering getting involved in pbp again, and if so, could definitely see myself running a Legacy of Fire game. If Celestial Half-Porc decides not to do it, I may just answer the call. CHP has dibs of course, so we'll see what he wants to do.

Well cool! Many thanks to Silversand79 for starting this thread, and also to Celestial Half-Porc for allowing me to have at it.
I think we could do six PCs, yes?
Silversand79 (Cleric of Abadar)
Aurichalcum the Pseudodragon Oracle
Alexander Kilcoyne (Monk)
Torolf (Halfling Summoner)
BoggBear (??)
Lorekeeper (??)
What say you all? Everybody on board?

Aurichalcum |

I'm keen!
Of course we will need to determine the mechanics of my particular racial choice; as I'm technically a CR1 critter, do you want me to start as a Critter (sans class) or L1 Oracle up front (maybe with a 20 point buy as opposed to a 25 or some other workaround you are happy with if that makes things 'fair')
I am also aware that stuff like armour is probably going to be a no go , so wont complain when the obvious drawbacks come to haunt :)
So in due course, our build specific requirements would be great :)

I'm on board, as long as your happy with the challenges of a 6 man group, obviously this will require a fair amount of conversion for the AP.
Allow me to be the first to bow out if necessary- i'm in plenty of games already.
I'm okay with a party of six, Alexander. I'll have no trouble adjusting things as needed. You're in as far as I'm concerned.

Ah, some of the later material then. Well, it will be some time in the pbp world before we would get to those adventures. If you want to play, I ask only that you be sure to work hard to separate player and character knowledge. If you feel you can do that without compromising anyone's enjoyment of the game, I have no issues with you participating.

I vote Auri starts as a plain old pseudodragon, and he can start taking Oracle levels when the others hit level 2 (thus, he would always be one class level behind). Sound good?

That shouldn't be a problem, I've grown used to having to do that as a gm anyway so to speak, and after all, not every Npc knows what I know haha.
Hmm, we seem to have a good handle on divine magic, and some fighting what with a summoner (not the summoner himself obviously) and a monk, I think I'd like to play a fighter/rogue, most likely a two weapon type.

In return, all I ask is that someone pick me up as a player for a Carrion Crown pbp next year. :P
I plan on running it when it comes out. I like running those types of adventures on pbp, because there is so much more room to explain whats going on and the players have more time to respond in character to the horror themed game.
I think it is really awesome you are helping this group out.
If lorekeeper does not express further interest in the game, I would like to propose a Transmutater Wizard. I like playing a wizard with useful spells to buff the party and accomplish the mission. ie mage armor for monks, magic weapon for all, stat boosts, haste, fly, shrink item, etc.

I will be very much a bruising/grappling monk. None of this fancy dodging and weaving about too much. Im just awaiting confirmation on what point buy to use etc. before I complete him in Herolab.
Well and good! Sure, there's no reason those who have confirmed can't get their character sheets fleshed out.
Head on over to this discussion thread for all the details.

Ye Olde Apothecary |

Starting Auri as a regular pseudodragon sounds good to me. It might make it more interesting if there's some in-game event to tie into him gaining his first class level, though. Otherwise why wouldn't all pseudodragons have class levels?
Sure, good point. For that reason, Oracle is a good class, because something can happen sort of 'spontaneously' to explain Auri's newfound abilities. A divine revelation, or something of that nature.

Ha, that's awesome. I was actually being a little tongue-in-cheek, wasn't really expecting a serious offer. :) That said, I truly am interested in playing in the campaign, so hopefully it will indeed happen. I'm already formulating a concept for a scar-faced, chain-smoking, mercenary-minded alchemist. But, that's for the future...

Sure, we'll give lorekeeper some time to confirm, but if he doesn't show or changes his mind, I'll take you and your wizard as the sixth player character. Keep watching this thread.

Hi :) - yes! Still very much keen.
The character I have in mind is a paladin/monk of Irori; emphasis on being a paladin of knowledge.
Mechanically the character is hard to pin down in a single level - it will take about 4 or 5 levels in-game before all the elements will come together. Essentially think of him as a support character.
