Come on someone I'm sure I'm not the only person waiting for this.
I'm waiting on more stuff as well.
You mean like this?
Yes, like that one. When Kingmaker and Serpent's Skull came out there were litterally dozens of PbP's within the first week. So far I've only seen maybe three other CC PbP Recruitment threads.
I started one with my Kingmaker group, so I didn't open it up for recruitment.

Don't think I haven't forgotten about that :p
You mean like this?
Exactly like that..have submitted Andrea there in the hopes that she'll be 5th time lucky
i could always try to DM an impromptu pbp for pathfinder. won't be anything published but it will be completely improvised.

Thanks but no thanks
Maybe it has something to do with the huge amount of roleplay in the beginning?
Totally agree regards the roleplaying Jeremiziah - have just recently dipped my toe into pbp with a "3 Days to Kill" conversion...
Roleplaying has been hugely enjoyable, combat too courtesy of some great DM maps, but thus far character interaction and roleplay has been the high point.
Not ready to go down the DM pathway for w while yet... but when I do they'll be a Pathfinder conversion of The Sentinel & The Gauntlet on the menu.

After getting the first Carrion Crown book and reading through it, I'm super excited to run it and would love to do it as a PbP, but am already running a Kingmaker PbP and a tabletop Rise of the Runelords, so my plate's pretty full. I imagine that's the case with most of the other DMs around here.
We've just had too many great APs out lately that have ongoing PbPs taking up all our time ;)
Well I'd run it but I'm waiting for Jade Regent to run partly in parallel with my RotRL campaign and to be honest it was the sheer amount of RP at the start that really sparked my interest here..that's why I want to play rather than run it.
I was considering running it but I lucked out and managed to find a tabletop game of Carrion Crown to play in. Since I don't want to spoil the adventure for myself, I'm leaving my subscription copies unread.
Roleplay is easily the best part of PbP's... Of course, that's my opinion only, but it's much easier to roleplay than to coordinate full-scale combat. For a DM, especially...or do other people's experiences differ on this point?
Totally agree with this as well, 100%.
That's why pbp's are so dang fun. It is far easier to roleplay in a pbp than in RL. You can really define WHO your character is, instead of just WHAT.

I'm a player in a Carrion Crown game and so far I'm bored to death (no offense to our DM; it's just the way the first book is written I guess). Role-playing is fine, but as a product of beginning my D&D gaming in the '80's, I prefer action to sitting around talking to each other and reading books. Just me.
Tell him to play some creepy music. I lurked on a PBP for about a page before I saw the genius of the thing and decided I wanted to play the game instead of lurk in it. Tomb of Lygeia, anyone?
I saw Vincent Price there immediately (in my mind), and I had a shiver.
The game I'm in IS a PbP on Paizo!
If we were actually sitting around the table I would have been drinking beer - at least that would have kept me busy.
Ah... well in that case, try to find some creepy music on youtube, maybe they have the opening scenes from Tomb of Lygeia
Yayyy for Thod

That's too bad. I just started it as a player yesterday and at the table (not pbp) it was fantastic. Then again, I actually like heavy duty roleplay and mystery solving. I also was careful to make a character who would be able to benefit from that style of gameplay after reading the Player's Guide.
I'd love to start a Carrion Crown pbp, but I run two games already and I'm wary of spreading myself too thin. Maybe I will once things calm down- I've learned that these are ultimately a matter of pacing yourself. You're running a marathon with a pbp, not a footrace.
I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that while a great many people enjoy the Cthulu type environment, it is more limited in appeal than many of the more recent ones have been. Especially compared to Kingmaker, where every party basically rewrites the AP in their own way, it is a much more focused, and thus appeals to a narrower audience. I know that it just really doesn't appeal to me, though I can understand why others would be drawn to it.
I like what I've heard but I get pretty much all of my Paizo products via .pdf thanks to being a remote Australian so I haven't got my hands on it (hopefully late tomorrow evening :) ).

You'd do a great job running Carrion Crown, James. I wouldn't be able to play but I'd certainly enjoy lurking.
