Play by Post Players Needed!

A short Play by Post game for as many PCs as wish to join.
Begins 22 September 2011

It was a dark, hot room with no ventilation, that bumped and rocked gently as the great wagon was pulled steadily across the desert by giant tortoise-like beasts. The wagon was heavily laden with it’s human cargo, as others in the caravan were burdened with building supplies.

The slaves were secured with elven hair ropes and shackles; men and women alike were manacled at the wrist, ankle and collar. They had enough reach in their manacles to reach a shared chamber pot in the middle of the slave hold, further ridding them of any dignity they may once have had.

The caravan labored under the flag of Merchant House Summonel, a company that had fallen on ill luck and bad times. It was heavily guarded by hired mercenaries; sibeccai outriders, mounted on two-legged lizards capable of crossing the dunes at a great gallop; and lines of troglodyte ghilman bearing shield and spear.

Among the slaves was the witch Meloria. Meloria had, until recently, been an adviser to a Merchant-Captain employed by this very same Merchant House. Meloria’s caravan had been attacked by pirates, and she was lucky enough to have fled into the desert. But there her luck ran out, she was found by a separate caravan and press-ganged into the slave hold. Her pleas for release fell on deaf ears.Mysticsibeccai

Now, she and her fellow slaves were bound for the brickyards of Yhakkoth.

Also interested. Gonna check it out now.

Edit: Actually fixed the link this time.

[havoc xiii]

I'm a little confused by some of the stuff on here what's this all about?

[Ian Hewitt]

Thank you for your interest. Gandal and Edgar, I look forward to hearing from you.

Havoc, I am trying to find some players for my Play by Post game. Please feel free to check out the link at the top of the original post.

The game beginning Sep 22 uses a hybrid of Pathfinder and Arcana Evolved for its rules, but the setting is inspired by a dark blend of Al Qadim and Dark Sun.

The new game begins on the 22nd, I will take as many players as would like to play, but once the game begins no new players will be accepted.

I have an ongoing game that has room for 1-3 new players, you can find all the info by following the link at the top of the page.

Or email me at [e-mail]

Thanks all, you have no idea how difficult it is to find quality players - especially online players!

[Gandal]

As for me, in the latter years online seems to be the only way to play :(

I don't know Arcana Evolved thought, nor i ever played Al Qadim or Dark Sun (guess they are AD&D 2nd ed settings?) so i don't know how much useful i can be but can give it a try.

[Joy]

I second that Gandal, online is pretty much the only way I get to play anymore. Can't get babysitters on a regular enough basis and the baby is at the stage where he tries to eat dice.

I'll give the links a look see. I like darker themed games.

[Pixel Cube]

This is very interesting. I need to get to know the setting better, but I'm definitely interested in this. Do you plan to have the pbp here or at Obsidian? What sort of character are you looking for?

Ciao Gandal! Mi sa che ci troveremo a giocare assieme...

Ciao di nuovo a te Pixel, io comincio a temere di starne aprendo troppe di sessioni online invece, dopo non ci sto dietro :)

Il gioco si terrà su Obsidian da quanto ho capito.

Sorry for the italian, just greeting a compatriot player

[Andrew Tuttle]

Ian, I'm interested. :D

I've got a copy of Arcana Evolved around here somewhere, I'm pretty well-Pathfinderized, and I've been wondering about Play-by-Post games for a while.

I'll send you an e-mail.

Regards!

Are you still drawing players for this?

[Ian Hewitt]

Thanks for your interest everybody. Apologies, but I do not check this thread as often as I should. A more reliable way of getting in touch is through my game's forum at Obsidian Portal.

@Gandal... Arcana Evolved is just a tweak from 3.5, but the differences are so slight I wouldn't worry about it. I also am working to include most significant rules on the game's wiki. The campaign setting is loosely Arabian, more often than not, dark and rough. Mature themes. A familiarity with my inspirations is not necessary.

@Pixel... the game will take place on the Obsidian Portal forum. I already have one game ongoing there, so everyone is welcome to take a look and now what you're getting yourself in for. Our previous games are archived under the Adventure Log tab.

And yes... ProfessorM... I am still looking for players for this (and my ongoing game), so I'll look forward to hearing from you all.

The first PC is posted on the site, Selar a 5th level sibeccai Rogue/Silvertongue Charmer who finds himself slapped in chains and condemned into slavery.

Just 10 days left to send me your character ideas.

I tried to look into the site, but were not able to choose your campaign, nor to roll a PC.

I would like to play a female elf spell blade.
