Recruiting a replacement player for CotCT PbP


Gamer Connection


Seeking a replacement player in a Curse of the Crimson Throne PbP. Still early in the first part (everyone is still 1st level). GM posts are generally once/day on weekdays. We have four current players:

Human Ranger (Sable Marine)
Human Cleric of Pharasma (focused on ranged combat)
Halfling Rogue (planning to take some levels of fighter)
Human Arcane Sorceror

Mechanically, someone capable of taking on front-line melee would fit in well. Please consult the player’s guide to make sure that you have a suitable character for the game. You can ignore the portion of the player’s guide that talks about coming up with a background concerning Gaedren Lamm, he has already been dealt with (although it might give you something to bond with the rest of the party about). Core & APG only (exceptions MAY be granted, but it will take some convincing), 20 pt buy, 2 traits, max 1st level gold. The game and discussion threads are linked below (ignore the DM Amethyst part, I took over the game for him):

Recruitment will remain open through tomorrow evening. Thanks for the interest, and looking forward to seeing the characters!


I'm thinking a fighter, part of the Korvosan militia. Coming from a long line of military men, he was dishonorably discharged, but with some string pulling from his grandfather, was able to get in with the militia.

From the advanced player's guide, I would make him a mobile fighter.

For a background trait, I'm choosing Drug Addict (personal)...which is why he got kicked out of the military.


I would like to purpose The Great Katallin. He was made for a different Korvosa based game but I could easily tweak his background to fit this game. As well as remove the bonus background feat and all.


Well, this is a long shot, but here goes. Okay, I have this halfling fighter I would like to throw in there. Also, I'm gonna go with the free hand fighter archetype and eventually to the prestige class duelist. (I know, jumping way ahead. Just an fyi, really.)

Obviously not the damage dealer you are looking for, but I figured, what the heck.

The campaign trait Framed(Family honor) I think fits well.

His persona is of a chivalrous nature.

I don't normally run small races. Like ever. I just happened to run him in RL and had a good time with him and thought he might be interesting.


alias for tom--posted above

Cloud, created this character for your campaign. Needs some serious fleshing out, but a lot of the basics are there. Didn't want to get too deep into all the equipment/gear until I knew I was selected.

More specifically, I think an armored front-line type would be the best complement to the group. The ranger is a power-attacking THF skirmisher, and the rogue is going to be more TWF than rogue.


I'll respectfully withdraw my character pitch then. Have fun!


I will also withdraw, I do not want to steal your rangers thunder. Happy hunting.


Hello, If this is still open I would like to pitch my steel reinforced bowler in to the ring.

I have been wanting to try a fighter who specializes in helping others. I see the character as shield oriented and using swift aid and other body-guard type feats to help flankers bring on the pain. The character will also be able to fight solo but will shine when supporting others.

Note this may not work, but it would be fun to try. Ultimately the character may moveinto Stalwart Defender depending on for things go.

I am a noob when it comes to play-by-post. If I am selected it will be my first online game of this time. I am quite familiar with the rules however so that should be ok. I will have no problem keeping up with the posting schedule. In fact you might have problems shutting me up. :7)

Please let me know and I'll start working on figuring out how to make an online character.

Hoping to see the sights in the big city.

Pretty much the same as pen & paper, except you'll want to create a new alias for the game, and place a statblock inside of it. :)


And a seperate avatar to represent the named person. ;)


There are a few more things I want to add to his Background, but I wanted to post my interest in this campaign before the thread closes to new interest. I am applying with Bron Lenthaven, a Shielded Fighter Archtype. He is the son of an Order of the Nail commander, however, disagreeing with the Hellknights' tactics, he joined the Eldrin Military Academy and currently works as a member of the Korvosan Guard.


Bron, I like the character. Looks pretty solid. I looked over your stuff, but the Traits spoiler wouldnt open for me, which I found odd. The rest of them opened just fine. Weird.

Good luck to you all.


Bron's not going to do anything to stop the unrest. He'll just find a group of mercenaries to do the dirty work and hide in his barracks... :P

Silver Crusade

He woke shivering in the night, sweat dripping from his body. It was the same dream. He had never known her but he knew the woman in the dream was his mother. She looked upon him not with love but with fear. She cursed at him, "Gaul'thar". Devil Child. Then he ripped her apart.

Now he sits. Cold sweat covering his body. Hoping he did not wake any of the others as he had done on other nights. He clutched the holy symbol of The Dawnflower close to his breast and prayed, "Please lady Everlight shine upon me. Never let me sucumb to the monster within..." and with that he lay back down, calmed in the comfort of his faith.

So went many a night for young Alsandair, half-orc neophyte Paladin of Sarenrae...
-----------------------------------------------

So, if I am not too late I would like to toss my submission into the hat.

Alsandair is to be a Half-Orc Paladin of Sarenrae. His true name, given to him at his birth, is Gaul'thar or "Devil Child". He is the child of a Varrisian woaman of the Sczarni and an Orc raider. A harrowing was done on the eve of the childs birth and the cards did not favor the babe, thusly they gave him his terrible name and abandoned him. He should have died of exposure but for the intervention of a missionary of Saranrae named Musetta who happened upon him. She brought him to the church and saw that he was cared for.

She named him Alsandair, "Defender of Man".

Shadow Lodge

I was thinking ether a Drunken Brute, Invulnerable Rager barbarian or a Two-Handed Fighter.


Sorry to leave everyone hanging over the weekend. It was a tough choice to make, several good characters out there. In the end, we're going to go with Jericho.

Thanks for all the submissions! I'll post again if we need any more players and good gaming everyone!


Thanks Cloud. :) I will finish him up tonight/tomorrow for your final approval


Looks like I'm finished. Anything I forgot let me know.
