I'm not really sure if this is best suited for here or the Gamer Connection subforum, but I'm interested in joining a Play-By-Post (not tried one before) for Council of Thieves if anyone wants to run it soon?
I've always gamed with 20 point buys, so 20 or 25 would be awesome, but basically I once had a character who a friend took over playing for one session that he got killed....except he *killed* her with Non-Lethal damage (rolling a 1 to kick down a door, getting a crit card that puts the damage onto me, and then multiplying it by three) and then everyone stopped playing the campaign.
So, because she didn't actually die (as I just found out recently), I really want to play her again, giving the campaign another try, but was hoping somebody would be running it from start to finish?
I felt it was worth asking. :)
I've been -thinking- about running a pbp, and if I do, it would be Council of Thieves. What kind of a DM are you looking for? I focus mostly on the roleplay aspects of the game, but that doesn't mean there won't be combat.
i'd also be interested in playing in Council of Thieves. I want to play a Witch/Assassin if someone would actually let people play a potentially evil character :) But I have other ideas too.

Probably a good mix of both combat and story really.
With the story elements, I could get a good sense of the world, the situations and things like that, helping me to imagine things better.
While playing a game like this, combat I feel should play an equal part, but I guess I'm pretty much easily pleased as I'm used to playing in Adventure Paths.
Humour, mystery, conspiracy, betrayal, death threats......it's all good. :p
I think if both elements could be seamlessly put together, it would be pretty awesome.
Are you planning on following the Council of Thieves Adventure Path books mostly, or getting really heavy in creating your own content for it mainly?
If you can mix the two elements together, I'll gladly play. :)
I have a soft spot for Council of Thieves. I would look at running a noble face character with a penchant for magic. Perhaps even one of the demon/devil bloodlines.
Edit: Infernal Sorcerer for sure. Any problems with the Rich Parents trait so I can get some flavour going on?
Ah, I don't suppose there's any update with this? :/
Sorry, I was away from my computer for a day or so.
I was planning on following the books as well as I could, but if the PCs 'jump the rails', so to speak, then I'll come up with new content the best I can. I'm not yet sure what alignment restrictions I'll have. I'm usually okay with allowing any alignment as long as I'm assured the character will be able to work with the group, but that only tends to work with players I know and trust to keep their promise.
I have no problem with the rich parents trait, or an Infernal Sorcerer.
If I did this, it would be my first time running a PBP game, so things might not work out as well as they would with a more experienced DM. I can generally post once a day at least on weekdays, but I might be somewhat scarce on the weekends.
I'd also like to start a different recruitment thread when/if I decide to do this. I want to make sure my players put a certain amount of thought into their characters before jumping into a game with them. However, I would give you guys some special consideration. I'll go ahead and look up how some other DMs run pbp games and recruitment threads.
Alright, you've talked me into it. Here's the recruitment thread.
