Recruiting for dark 3.5 pbp...


Gamer Connection


I am currently seeking 3 more players for a 3.5 fantasy/horror game. Setting will be homebrew and vivid. Please adhere to the following requests before you post:

-Please have a loose character concept ready for my approval. Details are not needed yet, but an idea of whether youre a front line combatant, your race and a basic personality type will greatly help my decision making.

-Please be able to post at least twice per day. I will be running an evening game, so my posts will come after 5pm CST (GMT-6)

-I do not mind new players. If you aren't comfortable with 3.5 but would still like to play, I have endless patience for verifying your actions via messaging client or email between posts.

If it helps with concepts, the setting will be dark and focused on a port city and surrounding areas with ready access to teeming forests, rivers, foothills and marshland.

Thank you for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you.


would have to dig through my "old" books, but im interested.

Would Swordsage from book of nine sword be ok?


I will allow a swordsage as long as you try to avoid turning out ridiculously OP, and in the event we recruit at least one full caster you accept a slight restriction on spells in place of manouvers. If you're good with that, I'm game.

**EDIT**

Though I do understand that not all players are equal, I DO make sure they all have their shining moments. Also, I am interested to hear your personality concept.


Will you be posting on this site or will it take place on another site?

Hi there. My game will be posted here on Paizo.


I am a noob to PBP but would love to give it a try. I would like to try a Rogue that would eventually go to shadow dancer.

Sharis was taken along with her sister, Esmera to pay for the taxes owed by their mother. Sharis is 1/2 Elven, and with her beauty and grace she was to study ballet at the acadamy and then to be sold as a concubine to the highest bidder. Having an impossibly optomistic outlook on things, She always wonders "what if". This has led to many troublesome outings as her curiosity got the best of her. her latest tyrist ended with her and another girl catching the entire acadamy on fire. The headmistress pinned the entire fault on Sharis and had her beaten and thrown into an alley to die. An older human female, Terena, took pity on her and decided to educate Sharis on the ways of the street. Terena saw the wanderlust in her young protege's eyes and after making a series of heists and quite a bit of coin, she understood that Sheris was a free spirit that needed to roam.(That and the incessant, "Is this the right thing to do?" Sharis always questioned before during and after a heist)Now off and roaming, she desires to find what became of her human sister Esmera, and her mother.


Zakur, I enjoyed reading her backstory and think she would be a great fit. I'll explain why once slots are filled and I link you guys to the OOC thread which will also provide additional setting information to assist in backstory adjustment. Welcome aboard.

You said you need three more, just wondering what the other players in your game are?


Very cool! Glad to be along!


I have been wanting to re-create my half Githzerai/half undead (vampire)

LG monk with flaws and exalted feats...

Sovereign Court

I am a noob to pbp but have a lot of table top experience. I would like to play a human necromancer. I can make him a dread necromancer (Heroes of horror), deathmaster(Dragon magazine compedium), wizard, or a cleric. Which ever one of those is ok'd by you oh gracious dm.

Xavier Ravenspeak is a odd fellow indeed, his social attitude and love for life throws many people off when they find out he is a necromancer. Xavier never knew his family the only one he would ever consider family his Master Varis Ravenspeak a suspected madman in the arcane world. See Varis had a crazy ideal when it came to necromancy, which was to use it to protect and honor life. Varis would travel the land talking to ill defended villages far from the protection of there lords and offer them with the agreement of the families to sign over there loved one bodies to become the undead and set them to protect there homes even in death. Of course many people would chase him and Xavier out of town when they found out there trade, but a the rare few would take him up on his offer to stand a chance againist invaders. Master Varis only took a small fee so he could further his lab research, and always tried to make a deal with the least amount of profit since he only wished to help people. The master instilled certain vows into Xavier when it came to necromancy, first only use it to protect the weak by making the strong weak, second never raise a body of an good or innocent without written premission by the family, third the evil can be raised as undead so their body can atone for the crimes of there soul. Xavier was raised with these ideals, and now that he is in his early 20's his Master is sending him out into the world to share these ideals and make a good name for the ancient arcane art of necromancy. Xavier Ravenspeak is a social guy, also is very dedicated to the ideals of his master but many see him as odd especially when the smells of embalming fluids and decaying flesh make him smile and think of his home. Xavier is ready to spread the words of his Master, he always is seen with parchment and ink wells stuffed into his backpack ready to get written permission to raise a love ones body so they can seek glory even after death!!!!


History: Bronx is a little bit crazy. His mother told him while he was growing up that she was raped by a Redcap (are those in the world? who cares.) So he thinks he might have some Redcap tendencies (he wields a scythe for example). He still kind of believes this despite the fact that everyone in the village told him that his father was in fact a traveling gnome bard, and his mother (who is a little off herself) was just making the Redcap story up. For the last few years he has spent his free time exploring wooded areas attempting to find any evil fey to purge. Though mistrusting of all fey in general, he only feels obligated to purge those that are obviously evil.

Out-of-game: gnome ranger, chaotic neutral


I will be back this evening with my determination.

Roidrage, I'd like an alternate from you as I appreciate your detail. I'll be back this evening to address the rest of the posters. Thank you.


Working up a character now, being mindful of the ability to munchkin as much as i can, please feel free to reign me in if i get out of hand :)

Basic concept is a halfling from the desert, keeps himself cloaked in overlapping clothes and unrully hair. A falchion hangs at his belt, and his hair is orange/red. Always smiling, he is the light hearted jokster, with a mysterious past.

When in combat he is constantly on the move, using his small size and agility to his advantage. His jokes become more taunting as he tries to get his opponent mentally and emotionally off guard.

edit: the character so far Scortan


How about this for an alternate, Denshar the curious is a Human or if you allow it a catfolk(Races of Wild book) who is a spirit shaman but playing him as a traveling ghost or spirit hunter.

Background:
Denshar hails from a seculded village that carries many superstitions within its culture. Denshar never really fit in since his birth because many believed he was cursed by the start, when the Elder Shamen delivered him into this world a strange creature appeared with him in the vision of a ghostly coyote hovering over young Denshar. The Elder Shaman never truly seeing a spirit like this sealed it into a holy idol of the village. After that many believed Denshar was tainted with something unnatural, so many didn't dear get close to the young tribal member. Denshar was always talking to something that wasn't there barely chatted to other tribal members, many believed him mad but Denshar didn't pay them mind cause he believed everybody could see the spirits around them. He always tried to talk to them but could never get a response sotmething wasn't right they kept drawing him to the Holy Idol that the Elder used to seal away the so-called evil spirit. As the years past Denshar wondered about that idol, until it was the only thing in his mind. Non-stop thoughts of it he couldn't get them out of his head; what was in there?; Was it truly evil or is it something that could make sense of all these spirits he see's? Would it make feel whole? Would it destory the village? Denshar went to just touch it to feel if had a connection to him, but when felt it with his hand his body involuntary pushed it over to shatter the idol, releasing his spirit guide. Once it was free he felt whole again, but the village was outrage of his destruction of a sacred object and releasing the trapped spirit. The punishment was exile hoping that would please the gods Denshar's people worshiped. Denshar was stripped of his clan name and was forbidden to ever say it again. Denshar was happy to leave since no one liked him there and he felt better and closer to the spirits that surrounded this world. As he left his village he believed all would treat him like his people so he started by stealing clothes off of a scarecrow and making sure his face is covered up with scrafs or whatever he could find. He slowly realized that the people in this world were different from his small tribe and wanted to exsprience much, but soon learned that he needed these things called coins to enjoy any of these pleasures he seeked. This came to him after being chased off from many unpaid bar tabs or peeking in the wrong place. He soon learned that he couldn't roam like his spirit friends. He used his skills he learned by watching the elder shaman to become a traveling healer and found many spirits that attacked people so he became a ghost hunter for hire as well. Now he travels around from town to town to see the sights and help those who have spirit problems from ghosts to stubborn elementals he tries his best and when that doesn't work he runs like hell to fight another day!


I'm thinking of a gnome cleric (healer?) from the a very small gnome-y village. Petunia Thistlebottom. Probably hasn't seen a whole lot of people before this-shy and uncomfortable.


I am going to write up a Human fighter with past experience in a wealthy trade caravan as a guard.(off tank/melee)


Ok for certain the half githzerai/ half undead (vampire katane)

Monk for certain....maybe some ninja later......

Will this be starting at 1st level?

Concept
The githzerai have been at war with the githyanki for milenia ever since they escaped from bondage under the mind flayers.

The githyanki are led by a powerful lich queen, the githzerai dislike undead for this reason and many others....

The PCs mother was captured and turned into a vampire, but was also pregnant at the time, the rescue mission succeded but a new child was born half of one blood half of another.

The PCs uncle hid the child and raised him on both the material plane and limbo, teaching him the ways of the githzerai....

He appears as a large green goblinoid wearing sandals and a loincloth, he has forsworn material possessions...


Thank you all for your creative concepts. Unfortunately some are simply better suited for a different campaign. Here is our roster:

Sharis - Rogue
Bronx - DEranger :)
Scortan - Swordsage (Could you possibly link me to swordsage info so
I can better follow your progression?)
Petunia - Cleric
Daveth - Fighter

Stats begin at 9 and have a 25 point buy. Each point is 1 for 1, though I do not allow the purchase of anything above 18, I will allow racial mods to boost you over 18. We will begin at level 1.

When you're ready, meet me over in the OOC Thread

Standard starting wealth by class?

Any restrictions on gear?


By class is good. And gear restrictions would be case by case. I ask that it make sense. Otherwise its all up to you.


Sounds like an interesting idea, I'm interested in playing this. I do not regularly check the Paizo forums, but I will try to. If you need to get in contact with me add my;

Msn - roboace1@hotmail com
AIM - nerkote
Skype - Aruetii

I am available most of the hours of the day and I'd love to join.

P.S. Would I be able to play a Dread Necromancer from the Heroes of Horror books or do you want to stick with Core?
