New Player Looking for a Game

[Rajun008]

Hey all! Hopefully this is the right place to be putting something like this...

Well, I've just recently gotten into the whole Tabletop RPG thing, and have started with Pathfinder since that seemed the most interesting to me. I would love to be able to find a campaign or some type of game to join, and an online game seems like an interesting and fun way to start.

Now, bear in mind, I'm still making myself familiar with the system (currently only have the Core Rulebook and Advanced Player's Guide, but might get more soon), so by all accounts I'm a newbie. But, I'm quick to learn! If anyone is looking for people to join a group starting at a low level, I'd be happy to join! Just please contact me and let me know what to do, and I'll get back to you with a response.

Thanks!

Backstory:
In development, but he's essentially a well-trained, wandering healer and cleric for Sarenrae. He's spent his fair time both studying books and travelling around healing people. That's as far as I've gotten really.

Well, there's my character in all his glory. If I've left anything out, or you have some suggestions for me, please let me know. I'd love to get him involved in a game, so again, if anyone's looking for a level 1 cleric/healer/extra body, please feel free to say something.

Well, the GMs on the boards typically have players build their characters using the Point Buy System (usually 15-20 pts), so your Ability Scores are incredibly low.

The trick however, is persistence in checking the recruitment threads. I use the little "∅" on the right to Hide any threads I'm not interested in (like closed recruitment threads, ones with a large number of posts, etc.)

You can also check out some of my Aliases, but it's better to break up your Class Features from your Feats, etc. It makes it easier to read.

To play, you should actually make up an Alias. As DH recommends, you can have several that are just frameworks that you can finish after you find a game that you want to apply for!

I hope this helps!

[Rajun008]

Well seeing as I did the Ability Scores the old fashioned way (actually rolling the dice), that would explain why they seem so low.

Thank you for the advice! Guess I still have a lot to learn.

Thanks again!

You're welcome! :)
