Hey everyone,
I'm intesrested in DMing the ROTRL AP. While I already run two Campaigns on these boards, I think I got time for a third one.
I'd like dedicated players that are at least able to post once per day and notice me if they're absent.
Also I'd like you to take a look at my DMing style by checking my other campaigns (I hate to see people dropping out after a week or so).
For character creation: Allowed is every official Pathfinder release I own (obviously for easier reference). (Which is everything until "Halflings of Golarion").
Character creation method is 4D6-drop lowest- X6 - free allocation.
Two traits for everyone.
Come up with a good and interesting concept and at least appear to be a commited player and you got good chances :-)
Since I'm looking for 5 players and one spot is already occupied, there is place for four players.
Questions left?
If you are looking for a PBP with an evocative and committed GM who puts in the hard yards, and who is happy to provide not only the 'hack n smash' in abundance, but also allow you to develop a fully fledged character then this is a campaign for you.
Tends to be fast paced, and tends to be loads of fun.
Dont wait guys, this will fill fast - click the GM's profile and look back through the post history.
Signed

I'd also recommend to read the ROTRL players guide and and think about a reason for your character to be in Sandpoint (native, traveller, merchant, on holiday etc.).
Btw. Harry is the one character who already has a slot. So, think about what else, besides a rogue, would fit well in the campaign.
I'd recommend something like this for a party line-up:
Rogue (Harry)
Melee Character
Arcane Spellcaster
Cleric
Face
I know, pretty generic...nevertheless, don't hesitate to apply for your alchemist/oracle/witch...whatever :-)
Harry will have some good people skills, but at heart he's a thug, or for want of a better term - a Heavy; a Minder. The guy who accompanies the face and does the 'unpleasant' jobs.
I'd like to try a half-orc ranger.

Concept so far: Kanyk was born to a woman of the Shriikirri-Quah, the result of an attack by one of orc raiding parties out of Belkzen. It was the good fortune of being born to the most peaceful and accepting tribe of the Shoanti that allowed him to live and he was raised with the other children of the tribe. Kanyk was raised to ignore and play down his orcish heritage but as he grew the signs grew stronger and stronger. Eventually he chose to leave the tribe for fear that his orcish appearance would bring trouble to his family and tribe. He travelled south west and made a living in the churlwood, hunting game and collecting pelts to trade in the nearby towns and villages.
After building up a fair amount of spare coin Kanyk hitched a ride to Sandpoint as a caravan guard and has been there for a while now. Supplementing his income as a guard or by hunting in the surrounding plains (if that is actually possible, might all be farmland for all I know).
Not finished with the rough background but just posted it because I know how fast PbPs fill up.
Oh and I guess I'd be applying for the melee spot.
UMPTEENTH EDIT: After reading Heavy Harry's profile I could see the two Halforcs getting either getting along like a house on fire, of course that might not necessarily be a good thing.
Character profile.
I'd recommend putting all skills that can be used untrained into your profile (just for easier reference).
Kanyk is definitely interesting and looks like a solid character concept.
Yes, a character background AND a character concept are mandatory.
You have to adjust the rolls manually.
I'd like to join this. Not a huge fan of stat rolling, but...well, sometimes we have to make sacrifices.
Not sure what char to make, but I'm flexible.
Well, not horrendously exciting...

Don't think I can make a good character with that lineup.
Everything that sums up to being less than 75 can be rerolled.
Thank goodness... am reading through the player's guide right now to get a feel for the culture.
That's better.

Very rounded stats...will come up with something quickly, let me review the others and see what gap needs to be filled.
Edit: Am thinking half-elf witch.
I'm thinking about making a cleric.
Basic vanilla cleric. ^_~
That's a 17, 17, 14, 14, 10, 10.
Looks good.
Human, Chelaxian. (Do we also add the racial bonuses to the scores?)
I'll have to look through the book to find a god, but I'll be visiting for the festival.
More later, but I wanted to put in my bid.
Surely you add racial bonusses. (after you have passed the 75 point border).
Do you have room for one more? I just saw this and thought sweet. If I am too late that is cool too.
This is not first come first serve.
I'll collect character concepts until tomorrow before I decide-so yes, still plenty of room left :-)
Writing up the background now. Do we roll for starting GP or just take the average?
Come in spinner....

Oooh - this could be interesting... will ruminate on the possibilities and post again when I have a stronger idea of how to mould this.
I'll see what the dice has in store..
Nope, 2nd set.
Nope, 3rd set.
= 75, using 3rd set for
12, 15, 10, 14, 13, 11
Background
Male Chaotic Good Half-Elf Bard
Jolin Farstride's been traveling from coastal town to coastal town in search of material for the epic masterpiece he believes he'll create someday. Right now he's just disembarked after playing (and working) his way at his current destination where he's looking to rest and hopefully busker his way looking for material to inspire.
When are you closing apps? I might be interested but I need a bit of time as I am going to be doing a bit of running around today :)
Just in case, here are my rolls:
So thats...
9
12
15
11
13
12
Which adds up to... 72. So I get a reroll. Lets try again!
Attempt 2:
That gives:
8
13
17
10
10
15
Thats a bit better, but still only 73! REROLL!
Attempt 3:
Ok this time its:
11
16
7
9
11
12
Gives a total of: 66. REALLY DICE?!
4th Time Maybe?!
Alright, this gives:
15
14
5
10
14
17
Gives a total of...75 on the nose. You gotta be joking me. Do I dare play a character with a 5...
I DO DARE! Ok I will be back in a bit with concept and history.
EDIT: Going to do a Half Orc Oracle of Bones, with the Wasting Disease curse. He is gonna have a 5 strength (god help me).
Starting Wealth Roll: x10 = 50GP. Really I am gonna be a broke mofo. Thats fine I guess!
I'll close tmorrow afternoon I think - so in about 24 hours.
Should be enough time for everyone to at least come up with a background.
You roll for starting wealth.
Starting Wealth
x10 = 130 gp
This is Patcher and his Half-Elf Witch. He is not yet finished, will post when he is.
Starting wealth!
x10 = 80 gp.
On second thoughts I think I'll give this'un a pass. Good luck to all who are applying and wish you well.
Just wanted to say that Nieve is 99% completed! I just need to write a description for him and Elyn (the weasel familiar) and he's done. Other than that, I hope I haven't missed anything. Do inform me if I have.
Besides that I'm sitting here with my coffee pot...no, I don't think so :-)
Horray. I hope the background is good enough.
I wonder what Stompinators character will look like^^ If he makes it, someone has to carry his equipment for him...
@ Nieve: Good work, I like your character concept, has some generic aspects, but overall good flavour.
Edit: I'd like you to make your profiles look like Harry's...quite good for easy DM reference....not that I'd peek into your sheets, but...
Already spent an hour fixing the format in the first place...will admit I'm not thrilled, but I'll try to do it as readable as possible.
Here is Stompinators character: Gerlick the Broken, Oracle of Bones and Cursed by the Gods!
Please have someone help me carry my stuff? My poor little orc can only carry 50lbs at MOST. And thats his HEAVY load...
I can't even WEAR ARMOR without instantly going into Medium load *cries*
I actually kinda want to play this guy REALLY badly now for the challenge.
Backstory is in the Profile let me know whatcha think :)
Dotting for interest! I'll be posting character/backstory shortly! :)
Right, I'll toss my hat into the ring sometime tonight. I'll go ahead and roll stats for now so I can think of what I want to play later when i come home from work.
Well ouch. Well that's 63 so let me get that reroll as suggested.
Thank god. Right brb later.
@ Gerlick:
Oracle background stories are always soo said...*looks teary-eyed at the sheet*.
Nevertheless, very good and absolutely a character to consider. By now no one else has applied for the healer's slot.
@ Nieve: Sorry for that-it hasn't to be done now. But for later it's much more convenient to view some things on first sight.
I've put together a background, finally. (Typing it takes all the time, and I changed it a few times also).
Most of my stats are done, they'll be finished later today.
By now no one else has applied for the healer's slot.
I'm a little hurt that my application as a cleric was overlooked, but that's life I guess.
It's alright, I modified it and found a way to satisfy my own ridiculous demands. Is it more accessible now?

Hehe, healer is about what he is good for. That and pronouncing DOOM on his foes in a very verbose and detailed way.
Thanks. You said you were choosing tomorrow night right?
Oh dear, sorry Raziel, so now we have two people competing for that slot...on the other hand the more healers the merrier...^^
Yes, tomorrow afternoon...as it looks like we will have about a dozen applicants by then...
Sheet is now superb Nieve, thx.
Right well I think my stats are worthy enough for paladinhood.
Will have more details tonight.
Oh and I dont want to hear any of you complain about your stat rolls :P
I made someone with a 5 STR. You can deal with a low roll hehe
DM Stompinator, I bow to your character. If I do lose out to you, I know the better character won.
On the other hand, as DM Zyren said, the more the merrier. Hope we both make it.

Eh if I get in hopefully she will keep you in back as an Alternate. I have no idea how long someone like Gerlick will last :P
Sides, your character is pretty cool too :) I just go with what the stats gave me :P
I mean you have a great backstory too.
Character's aren't just stats, and I was lucky to roll so good.
Usually, I'm having to do the rerolls several times to get a minimum total.
Oh and I dont want to hear any of you complain about your stat rolls :P

That's fine. I'm sure we'll hear plenty from your crippled broken self when you get hit by your first ray of enfeeblement. :P
While I'm here I do have a bit of time to explain.
I've decided to take one of my current characters and stat out a younger version of his father. The character in question is in carrion crown looking for him. I wouldn't mind whatsoever if we got this particular character developed in an earlier AP. And I do love my legacy characters...probably why I like the Flash so much.
Wealth roll:
x10 = 190gp
That's fine. I'm sure we'll hear plenty from your crippled broken self when you get hit by your first ray of enfeeblement. :POh and I dont want to hear any of you complain about your stat rolls :P
I made someone with a 5 STR. You can deal with a low roll hehe
Oh most likely haha. Or he will just grit his teeth and deal with it. He is more of a no nonsense sort of guy haha. Gruff, stern, unbending, and powered by I guess negative / necromatic energy :P
Wealth x 10 = 150gp and back from a quick afternoon skate to finish the character off.
