Awesome. A Bard, a Cleric and an Icemage fit the bill perfectly. Now to see what else we can get.
Oh, and for the level I'd prefer 1st, but I can run it for 5th level characters if everyone is sick of playing newbies.
I am all for starting off at 1st level, but am okay if the group would prefer 5th level.
Here is the ice mage so far. Background forthcoming.
I'm fine with starting at 1st level; I like starting from the ground up, and the first few levels go by quick anyway.
And I think I've confused everyone about my character. I'll be playing a half-orc summoner. His father was the bard. :D

Oops. Okay. I'll sort it all out when the full characters get in. :)
How much coin do we have for our gear?

As per normal starting wealth
As an aside, the theatre company is paying you 500gp each, payable in one year, for your work on the play. In the meantime, you each get 3sp a week, plus food and lodging. Oh, and the Summoner gets paid twice (once for him, once for the eidelon).

You're welcome :) I've always liked and read a lot of mythology , though I only read the Kalevala a few years ago . I'm studying storytelling and storytellers for my Masters' (in Anthropology) . Not sure about the first name , maybe Peer Gynt ? Unless it's a character in the Kalevala I've forgotten about.It's just a finnish name that means blizzard or snowstorm.
Trying to pick traits for my character and Devotee of the Green makes the most sense as one of them . The character was born and lived most of her life in Whistledown where she socialized a good deal with the gnomes , particularly eager to listen to tales of gnome adventurers as a child, despite being human and eventually found a gnome cleric of Shelyn who tutored her early on after she had been (apparently) divinely inspired. Prior to that she was careful to follow the advice of gnome storytellers about respecting the landscape since it was connected to the fairy folk (or so they said anyway , but then gnomes would say that).
She then moved to Maganimar as one of the closest large cities with a theatre and (more than likely) a temple to Shelyn so she could continue her training and be ordained .
Although still considered a 'country bumpkin' by many city-dwellers it seemed to make sense to take Cosmopolitan to reflect her broadening knowledge of the world . In some ways (for the gnomes and probably the elves as well) I think Shelyn is also a nature deity , so it made sense but I won't be stressing the 'faerie' aspect over her role as an inspirator/artist/goddess of love
From Maganimar she's likely to have seen a position advertised as a cleric to a theatre company only to realise the distance between Maganimar and Whitethrone some time after she'd agreed to go there...
Does that make sense ? I'm struggling to think of another appropriate...
Ease of Faith and Devotee of the Green are both faith traits. You can only have one trait from any given category. Have you looked at the social traits or the religion trait for Shelyn?

Strong point... okay APG classes get a flat 150gp.

This brings up two good points:
First, if you have Hero Lab, please email me your character portfolio. That makes it a lot easier to import into d20pro. If you don't have Hero Lab, you can email it to me, or post it on the boards, or make an alias, whatever you find easier.
Second, walking down the street in Whitethrone on an average day you can expect to encounter Trolls, Worgs, all sorts of other "monsters", sorcerers, and armed guards, all of whom have no problem killing you (or worse!) for the least perceived insult. Thus, even if your party consisted of nothing but combat-spec'd badasses, you'd still have to step pretty lightly at first level. Thus, the combat in this game will be more a sense of tension, and when blood is split it will be brutal, and hopefully you're well-prepared. Picture a fantasy movie directed by Quentin Tarantino.

Would you be interested in perhaps a Magus?Awesome. A Bard, a Cleric and an Icemage fit the bill perfectly. Now to see what else we can get.
I would love another player, but please: no Magi. I don't personally think the Magus is ready to leave beta as-is. If you want to make a gish-y multiclass, though, great!
Actually APG does list starting wealth for each of the new classes on Pg 25. It's also in each class entry on D20PFsrd.org including the average.
So it does; I never noticed that before. Thanks for the heads-up.

I've just sent my character sheet through email . Looking to add it on the boards as well but I haven't figured out how to get the character section to show up once you create an alias (which I've also been having technical problems with , not sure why).
Once you create an alias, click on create a profile inside that alias. Then fill in the blanks, save your changes, fill in the "About alias" section, saving changes often, then save your changes, save your changes, save your changes. In case I haven't mentioned it, you need to save your changes often.

Are you still looking for players? If so, what would I need to look at/know for info on the campaign?
I can't make it every Sunday (I work retail) but I can make it at least two or three times a month.
The more the merrier (especially as so many people seem unable to commit to online games...), and you can find the "Player's Guide" here.
We're scheduled to play at 5pm Eastern on Sundays, but don't sweat it if you can't play every time. As long as you can play at least twice a month, it's fine.
On the technical side, we'll be using Ventrillo and d20pro, with Skype and Google docs for back-up. Please send me your character (exported to d20pro format if you have Hero Labs) to uriel222@yahoo.ca. We currently have an alchemist, a Summoner, A cleric and an Icemage (sorcerer).

A few quick things:
Who doesn't have a d20pro license? I have two guest passes, but everyone else will have to pay the $10 license fee to d20pro.
Does everyone have a working microphone? Are you comfortable with Ventrillo? Does anyone have a vent server?
I'll be busy this Sunday, and, unfortunately, the next (my work's x-mas party, then my wife's) but I'm looking to get in two sessions on the 12th and 19th of December, and then regularly in the New Year. Once I have everyone's characters and backgrounds, I'm going to be posting some background material to keep up interest, mostly dealing with how you came to Whitethrone.
One last thing: is there any topic you'd rather not see in-game? I generally don't go much darker in my games than the typical fantasy novel (sometimes Edgar Allen Poe, but rarely), but if anyone has a particularly touchy subject feel free to send me an email and let me know to steer clear.

Thanks drayen. I think I've got it now.
I've refined the Charm domain into the Love subdomain (from the SRD/APG) since I sent my character sheet but it's otherwise unchanged . The last cosmetic addition I need to make are names for Artemisia's family members and mentors , but I'm having fun going with the 'I've always wanted to be an adventurer' concept . A good family name also eludes me at the moment
The Aspiring Bard trait is also from the APG/SRD

I do not have a license, but I will get one, so the guest passes can go to someone else.

I have used Ventrillo in the past and will reload it again. I do not have a server, but I'll look into it.

Once I have everyone's characters and backgrounds, I'm going to be posting some background material to keep up interest, mostly dealing with how you came to Whitethrone.
I have been slacking on a background and now that the words of power playtest is out, I was kind of wondering if it's something you might consider allowing me to try out to see how it works.

Pop top baby heads as refreshments is probably too far over the line, unless you've figured out how to tastefully incorporate them into a scene. Otherwise, I know that Whitethrone is a hive of scum and villiany and expect uncouth behaviour.

Thanks drayen. I think I've got it now.
I think you do have it. What's with the cm? I've been to Britain, I know you use feet/inches/miles. How fat are you? I don't see any stones.(First time I stepped on a scale set for stones it caused my brain to hiccup. I just stood there wondering where all the rest of me went.)
I've refined the Charm domain into the Love subdomain (from the SRD/APG)
I thought that would be a perfect choice for you, but I didn't want to butt in your character creating mojo.

She ought to be 5' 7" and roughly 145 pounds according to a currency converter website . I'll make changes for ease of perusal :) Where did you go in Britain ? I'm in West London but my heart is really in Lancashire , it's a lovely area "up north" as they say (and I have many good memories of being a student at Lancaster)I drove all over Great Britain and Ireland. I drove 2,720 km across Scotland, another 2,080 km around Ireland (and Northern Ireland) and 1,120 km through Wales and England. I like London, I think Cardiff has more character, but my favorite is Edinburgh. I would move there at the drop of a hat.
The Love subdomain is one of those obvious things that I didn't pick up early on but it does make perfect sense for this character :) I also like the Purity subdomain , it has a great 'cursebreaker'/fairy godmother/White Mage vibe that I think fits the character
Penny for your thoughts about a last name/relatives' names/mentor name (should be a female gnome) ? That'd be great
Well, as I've used Finnish names for my character and plan to use them for the names in my character background, thus making Finnish culture the official and canon Irrisen convention, I suggest raiding Finnish name sites. At the very least Baltic names would work.
I don't have a d20Pro license, but am willing to purchase one if there is no guest pass remaining. I'd be able to upgrade from a player to GM license at later date, wouldn't I? I do have a microphone, and am familiar with Vent usage, though I don't have access to a server.
At the moment the schedule for the first sessions seems good to me, though my holiday plans are not yet finalized; my home recently suffered fairly severe flood damage from a broken water line, and repairs will not be completed in time for Christmas. My family and I all have places to stay, but it spoiled our plans rather effectively. We'll probably end up spending the week with relatives out of state. I'll let you know if I end up unable to participate on Sunday the 19th.
Typical fantasy themes with a dash of Poe sounds good to me. I can't think of anything that would truly be off-putting at the moment, though if something does arise, I'll be sure to speak up.
I'm going to keep working on my summoner, but I'm starting to hit a wall with the concept. Things aren't quite meshing as I had hoped. I might consider something else, as we've got enough time for me to start a character from scratch. What's the party's current class composition?

Up page, Uriel mentioned an alchemist (sand79), cleric of Shelyn (Adrien), summoner (you) and ice mage (sorcerer, me).

Hey, don't let these Americans bully you! The States is the only place on Earth that insists a system of 12 inches to a foot, 3 feet to a yard, 1760 yards to a mile is "simple"... :)
Oh, and since you're coming from all over, don't worry too much about Slavic names. The local ruling class should have them (I'm using Russian ones, because I find the Lapp ones too hard to spell...), the underclass have Nordic ones, and the monsters... well...

Not true. You go to Britain all the road signs are in miles. No conversion math necessary. They still use standard lengths of measurements. Of course, they still use pints, quarts and gallons, too. Ah, pints...

I'd actually like to see that. I'd strongly prefer you stay with an ice-theme, of course.
I have been slacking on a background and now that the words of power playtest is out, I was kind of wondering if it's something you might consider allowing me to try out to see how it works.
Of course, I would stay with an ice theme. It was what led me too thinking about it. From what other posters have said, you can swap out energy types for spells. As there are not alot of cold spells early on, this would make for more ability to create cold type spells. I'll dink around with it over the next couple of days to see what can, and cannot, be done with it.

Here is the current party make up, again.
I wouldn't mind playing around with a Summoner if we got a more physical party member - instead of the monk I've got worked up. You still thinking of doing something besides a summoner?
I was trying to make my character capable of too many things at once, and stretching him a bit thin. It's a common problem I have when creating characters. In any case, I've confined him to just a couple of tricks, and he's coming along quite nicely now.
Heaven's Agent here. I believe this character is finished and ready for the game; let me know if you have any questions, and I'll see if I can't answer them.
As an aside, I still need to think of a name for my eidolon. Should anyone have any ideas, feel free to voice them.
