Hi all, I'm new to pbps. I played in nightfliers return to korvosa thread as the great katallin before his work got the better of him and he had to close it down. So I'm gonna give it another shot and I thought I might try running one. This will be my first attempt to run one so the only thing I can promise you is there will be kinks, and not the good kind, well maybe a few of the good kind;).

Anyway the campaign will be run sandbox style with no hand holding by me, either in story development or in combat. Your characters will be completely free to do as they wish, back out of quests, not do quests, turn into villains whatever, though I will not tolerate infighting so the party needs to be cohesive. By the same token if your first level characters hear of an ogre troop living in the hills and you investigate those hills you can expect to be making replacement characters if you fail to get away fast enough.

Tone and feel of the campaign will evolve over time and be dependent on my mood when I make particular decisions, much the way I feel Fate works. The rating will mostly be a high PG-13 to low R, but may have some brief and rare NC17 elements on occasion. Don't worry it won't cross any taboos, at least no taboos as they are in Las Vegas where I'm from, I realize other countries and regions may see different things as taboo, but please don't let that stop you from playing.

I would like to see at least one post daily, if you can't post on certain days that is understandable.

Character submissions will be handled as follows, all I want is your characters name and his "title." That's all I won't even read anymore so please don't write more I don't want to waste the time of those who don't make it. The title should be one word, though compound words are okay. Here are a few examples:

Grimwald "DeathCrusher"
The "Great" Miguel
Lluren the "Undying"
Elmindreada aka Dread
Belandanverald the "Baratone"
Grizzolorrrk the "StinkHorn"

You get the picture. All other guidelines for character and background generation are TBA, though I reserve the right to tweak backgrounds as needed to get the character together.

Casting will end without notice. If I have too many quality submissions I may do a second round for my top picks with a twitter post length submission of a character concept.

Barret "The Bulletstorm" Geshrin

((If the class he will rather obviously be is not allowed I'm willing to post up something else))

Oh I knew I forgot to include some stuff. Any open source paizo material will be allowed including playtest.

And feel free to submit up to three characters, I will only select one, but if I have a second round and I like more than one I will allow you to expand on all.

Also I wanted to add that I have a dry sarcastic sense of humor and use puns often, so mastery of the English language would enhance your game experience though I have nothing against those who may speak English as a second or third or ninety fifth language, but that's as far as I go, so if English is your ninety sixth language do not apply.

I'm game. Let's see what gets past the GM:
1.) Henric "Singer" Zandu
2.) Andrezi the Traveler
3.) Marduzi the Pinch

WELL! If that's the case then add to my list Ashiri the Wildmind, i'll let my mind wander a bit as I think of a third but the concepts behind Ashiri and Barret are the ones I like best at the moment.

"Smoosh" dereksen
"deadeye" jerm
bronson "kablamoo" blanch

Starris "Thunder-Klar" Melani (probably not what you are thinking with this one)
Meri the "Silent Wall"
Kara "Longshot" Shalondel
Kirrilia "White Light" Siannodel

Ekeebe :D

I was hoping for a little more intrest but that's fine. I'll give it another day or so and I'll let you all know who I'm picking. Unless there's more applicants I'll be picking a character from each of you.
Shadow Lodge

caline "coldheart"

Okay I'll official close Sunday night, but there isn't much interest so I'll let you all know who's probably gonna make it.

Everyone is gonna get a slot, and there is room for up to 3 more so likely there will only be additions if anything.

So here's the list in an order yet to be defined:
Coldheart
Silent Wall
Smoosh
Wild Mind
Traveler
(okay so the order was just reverse order from submission but it wasn't defined before)

Here is th discussion link:
link see you there.
Silver Crusade

Jairyd "Slanter" Kill'Dare
Ziared "the Shadow"
Thorimar "the Stonefist"

I'm in one pbp right now, but have been trying to get into a second one. I've always been a fan of free form games so figured I would give this a shot.

Sounds like it could be a fun game.

Waleak "Beestinger" Huntinghawk
Fruven "the ugly" Soulaxe
Belavar "Lightbringer" Strifelaugher

Am I in on time?

Thrack "Thrasher" Yaydro
Caldwin "The Caller" Edrin
Aljis "Gut Lighter" Razen

Okay, I'm going to do a soft close at this point. Once I know exactly how many players I ended up with I might open the remaing slots on a somewhat first come first serve basis.

We will be going with:
Slanter
I can't pick between The ugly, or Beestinger, I like them both equally so you pick
Gut lighter

see you all in the discussion thread

I would like to join if I may. Jar 'Talon' Lis as the character name
