Council of Thieves, need players and a GM


Recruitment

1 to 50 of 53 << first < prev | 1 | 2 | next > last >>

I created this character for a Council of Thieves PbP campaign that I thought would be awesome. Unfortunately, some of the players and the GM had to deal with real life stuff, so the game never got started. I'm looking for a GM that is really interested in a character that is going to flirt with an evil alignment, but perhaps will ultimately come out good.

Currently built with 20pts, a campaign trait, and another trait, average gold, and potentially up through Ultimate Combat stuff available. Not sure I like the idea of Gunslinger involved, but otherwise, whatever the GM might want is fine.

I'd like a game that is active and everyone posts frequently, so lets get it going :D


I also created this character for a Council of Thieves game that fell through. Not sure if its the same point build, though... Take a look at him and see if its about the same.

EDIT: He has three traits instead of two... I can get rid of one of them if need be. :P

I wouldn't mind giving this a run as DM. I haven't looked thru the council of thieves campaign yet but i can run thru that in a day or two. My question is would you want it ran by the book or do you guys just want the setting and i add my own twist to it? I have been DM'ing since '95 so i can create things pretty much on the whim. I haven't done a PBP game in a few yrs i would have to freshen up on the game play. But if you guys are committed and can post everyday or atleast every other day i am willing to give this a go. Let me know.


I don't mind variations, but I do want to play the story of the AP. I would prefer if people could post at least once a day.


I would be interested in taking part in this and even have a character that would go well with setting that I applied previously with. Profile linked to name. He can be changed as needed to fit creation rules.


I would be interested. This is my fighter created for CoT, but not make the cut in the campaign I applied for. If this starts going for real, let me know the requirements and I shall update the background and crunch


Here is my witch for a CotCT game with a 25 point buy, she's a changeling, but I can move things about to make her work.


I would also like to express my interest. I would likely create a Bard or a Cleric of some sort, depending on what the party need (though I have no character concept currently in mind, I will read up a bit on Cheliax and the AP's player's guide, I'm sure something will come to mind).

Additionally, it has been several years since I played a PBP game myself. I can commit to at least 1 post a day, if not more. I've never played on the Paizo boards before and they seem to be quite supportive of this type of game, though any help with the features woul be awesome. (How do I make a character/alias, for example)

Grand Lodge

Looks like we have some takers. Ok let's do this first I want everyone to submit their characters at lvl 2 that will help even out some of the challenges I don't want ppl dying a lot. I will pick 4 ppl for this campaign so submit now and I will make my choices by this friday evening. I will probably start this AP sunday that gives me time to prepare everything. I am in the US Army so I can be called to the field at anytime but as of now my schedule is pretty open. I will post more details if I require anything further before we begin.


Just need build rules please Choppy. We need to know how many point buy, how many traits we're allowed to select, which books, and so on.


Would like to play an elf rogue of some sort - possibly a prisoner on the run or a spy working on behalf of the Steel Falcons. I'll work out the details once I know what's what.

Grand Lodge

Let's go with 20 build points and two traits using only pathfinder related books. If you use something from either of the ultimate books let me know I haven't had a chance to really flip thru those yet. More info to come.


DM Choppy: No 3.5e books, correct? So this isn't a 3.Pf game, this is a straight PF game, correct?


As a fellow orphan from the same lost game as Jynerva, I'd love to get a chance to play this myself.

I can bump to level 2, as required -- do we increase our equipment (wealth) to match?

Ah, right, 1000 gp for level 2 characters!

What 3. books did you want to include?

Um, I hadn't decided yet. It would depend on what sort of character I wanted to make...? I just wanted to know if the idea was possibly allowed, and any particular books the DM would feel more okay with, so I could possibly come up with something...?

Only reason is most of my 3. books r in storage but i have a friend who owns like everyone so just let me know what you come up with and i'll ya or nah it. Keep in mind the more creative you get with your characters the more likely you will be picked i want to run 4 ppl but will throw in a 5th if i find it interesting and creative.


Hey, this is the character I'm submitting. It's a Cleric of Shelyn. I gave her 1000gp for the Level 2 upgrade. But if we're just going with the standard gold, just gotta take away the scrolls and the Mwk on the armor and weapon.

*I substituted the Perform(act) in the trait for Perform(sing). I hope that's alright.

Character Description:
Illithia of medium height for a half-elf, standing at 5'4", and weighing 115lb. She wears a breastplate, with subtle colouring of a rainbow splashed across it, and in combat she wields her goddess' favourite weapon, a glaive. Her hair is blond in colour, and usually pulled into a ponytail, though she lets a few bangs free. These are usually braided, and coloured so that each strand of the braid is a different colour.

(I will PM the backstory to the GM if he wants it right away.)
Also, is the campaign going to be using Hero Points?


Alright, this character has been updated. If you need any information on the alternative classes, most everything that's opensource is available on d20pfsrd.com, one of the best websites out there for all of the published books with the Pathfinder rules.


Choppy, by creative do you mean just creative in story and concept, or are you also counting creative and/or novel use of crunch in the purpose of achieving that concept? And I read the player guide to this adventure path... I'm not sure exactly what I want to play (conceptually), yet. Do you have a preference for the categories of capabilities you want to see for this adventure path? How about what power level (ie, not all classes or options are created equal and all...) you want or don't want?

Grand Lodge

Yes in story and concept and as for limitations i have none just don't make it to broken.


I haven't spent any additional coin, but I bumped Dracius up to level 2 (of course, since he's also a cleric of Shelyn, that's probably less than exciting, considering -- but, as I said, orphan from the "original" game -- history and personality are also in the alias).


An arcanist wizard. Mithrael Sevireane is a member of the Sevireane family, a noble elven family that threw its lot in with the thrice-cursed house. He is sadly ashamed of the failure of his family and desires to see his family's honor restored, returning to the pantheon of the Elves.


Recognizing that I have bitten off more than I can chew, I think I must withdraw. I really want to play, but I must admit my weaknesses, and I won't have the time to play, since I'm trying to run another game. Sorry!


Here is Zarnak, modified to level 2.

DM Choppy:

Level 2 Tiefling Fighter - used the alternate heritage with an oni background. Also, if you look at his previous rolls when I was applying for another campaign, you will see the rolls for his alternate abilities and hp.


Zarnak, I believe your Falchion should deal 2d4+6. I could be missing something though.

Grand Lodge

Hey guys sorry i haven't posted much today I was busy at work but i have been checking in when i can to see your comments. So far i like what i am seeing and i believe i know who i am going to choice for this campaign but no final judgement will be made till late tomorrow, early friday. Sorry to hear your dropping from the running trio but its totally understandable. Jynerva you haven't posted in awhile let me know if your still interested in playing. If you have anymore questions just give me a shout. Later!!


Yes, sorry, I was busy today as well. I haven't figured out my Level 2 stuff yet, but I will work on it.

Ok just let me know.


Dracius I just noticed how similar our characters are. Choppy, is two clerics of Shelyn gonna be alright or should I make a different character?


Errrr - two clerics good to heal Zarnak when he forget armor and charge into fight nekkid.

Grand Lodge

Wow ok nekkid fighting anyways 2 clerics are cool but I feel we could do without so if you could make a different one I would recommend it. I am suprised noone submitted a rogue yet lol. Do you guys want me to go 6 pc's or is that to many?

If I were to switch, I would probably stick with Shelyn worship, but switch to a Paladin.

Edit: Actually? Done. Switched to a paladin, though it's basically the same character, except in paladin form (with a few changes. Will post more later)

LOL actually i was going to recommend that but seems you were thinking along the same lines.

OK looks like we got a group here: Illithia,Zarnak,jynerva,Dracius,and Mithrael! Welcome fellow travelers. your adventure will begin shortly.

I will probably begin posting the campaign tomorrow I would today but i have to work on my car and get the old girl up and running again. If anyone has any ideas for the group or myself to make it run smoother let me know. Also if possible we should try to meet on some kind of chat once a week to go over notes and recaps.


I don't do chats for games, and have yet to see the need in the few PbPs I've been in.


I have no problem with a chat, but it will have to be later in the evening USA central time - after 8pm because of work and children.

Grand Lodge

Ok fair enough no chat ill figure something out


Chats aren't really necessary. As long as we have an OOC Discussion board, which we should if this is converted to a complete campaign, we'll be able to talk about anything and everything, keep treasure notes updated, etcetera.


Is there an OOC and/or IC thread for this game yet? I keep looking here and do not want to forget the one. As soon as the IC thread is up, then I can dot it and it will show up under my campaigns tab and make following the game much easier.

Ok not familiar with ooc.


When you start a campaign, there is a Gameplay/IC(In character) tab and a Discussion/OOC(Out Of Character) thread. There will also be tabs for info, recruitment, players and some other stuff. I have never really started one, but if you ask almost any other DM, I am sure they can explain. Probably some of the other players can as well.

Grand Lodge

No post for me today. I am spending it with the wife and kids. Hope everyone has a great day!


Updated to Lvl 2 finally. Looking forward to this campaign :)

Hey guys sorry i didn't post this weekend the family and i went out and did stuff but i am back so most likely look for a tomorrow or thursday start to this at the latest and glad to see everyone pumped and ready to go!! =0)


No problem -- just got back from celebrating my anniversary anyway. :)


I know I'm the one that started this whole thing, but I'm going to have to withdraw. I'm going to be far too busy in the near future and I don't want to commit to any new games. Thanks for the interest everyone, and good luck with the campaign.

Likewise, I should step back, I just got into another campaign and am about at my limit right now. Thanks for the offer DM Choppy.
