Okay so I think I want to run a fun and simple play by post campaign! I will want 5 players at most, in a very swash buckling adventure type of game, ie combats will be fun and fast, but not the main focus. More focus will be on the adventure and players (i like character development!)
I'm putting the story together but wanted to get players on board and get their characters ready so that I can consider them while finishing things up.
rules:
I will be posting during breaks at work and 1-3 times during the evening (mountain time), so as long as you can post at least 1-3 times a day i'll be happy!
I couldn't decide between a 15 or 20 point buy, so i'm going to do a 18 point buy! (yeah i know i'm weird)
I'd like you to stick to material in the Core rule book and the Advance Players guide, but if you want to use something else, we can talk about it!
Level 1 characters, we will discuss items, wealth and etc while building your character!
what to expect:
I believe fun trumps rules any day and am a very lenient dm (however try to abuse this and you will be sleeping with the pigs!), though I know the rules and number better than most, so if you want a math war i have a good chance of winning lol.
encounters designed for the adventuring party, if we have 5 rogues, i'm going to make an encounter that is challenging and fun for 5 rogues. so play what you want and is fun!
alot of character depth! I will have questions for you to answer about your character.
above else please ask me any questions!

I am deffinitly in on a Swashbuckling campaign. Sign me up. I'd like to know a bit more about the setting and whatnot but I'm down for a rogue or a bard of some type. I'll do a little research when I get home and post more tonight.
Got room for someone who has never pbp before? If you do then I submit my name into consideration.
I'll throw in a fighter (probably using the Mobile Fighter archetype). I'm also interested in knowing more about the setting for the character background.
Full explanation of setting will be posted tonight, meanwhile short hand version.... with a new rule.
If you are a female character you must be atleast 20 years old, and see below.
The Kingdom of Orensden was once as prosperous and famous as any other in the world. However, 20 years ago King Edmund the Third was assassinated by his Queen whom took not only the throne but decreed from this day forward Orensden would be ruled by a Queen, not a King. Further to distress the people was the Queen taking a new husband, a foreigner from the neighboring Kingdom of Ulstad.
Since the King's death a strange event seemed to happen across the land. Following that fateful day, no longer has any female child been born to any mother within the boundaries of Orensden. This has led to a very harsh environment for any still living women, with many being forced into slavery, treated as property or worse fates we shall not mention. Over the past twenty years, this has caused a decline in population of Orensden, as less women are born to be mothers, many women flee the country, while others are kept as slaves or even killed.
Rumors spread to all ears about the land being cursed, and each day the strength of Orensden weakens, with many eyes worriedly looking towards the Kingdoms that share their borders. Perhaps someone will invade in these troubled times...
Magic: standard to slightly low magic.
Traits: mostly anything works well enough as long as it make sense with your character.
Wealth: 400 gold, and allowed one special request from me.
Further you can email/google chat me with any questions. stephen.bloomingdale@gmail.com
Kenderkin here with my PC, I will add to him as time goes on....
I will be making some changes.......
special request
Longbow that incorporates strength bonus!
So i'll accept the first players that apply! looks like we have 4 right now and i'm willing to take one more!
And Revengance

Interesting twist, this would make it difficult for the stereotypical womanizing swashbuckler spending his formative years in Orensden ;)
I should have my basic background and stats up in a separate profile later this evening. And thanks for DMing!

Hi, wanting to jump in too. I'll peruse the rp thread.
excellent! character creation was a 18 point buy, 400 gold wealth, can make one special request, feel free to jump on over to the OOC thread and when your ready ask questions or jump into the plot. I will be posting less over the weekend, so don't worry about the plot jumping away.
