I'm in the future, too! (Thailand)! :) Check out my Carrion Crown recruitment if you're curious about a just-starting game still looking for players, and PM me if you need any help creating!
I would also suggest, though, that if you know the basic mechanics of Pathfinder (d20, damage, conditions, and the mapping stuff) you'd be fine at running one of the Adventure Paths - all the info needed is contained within. Plus you'll find that many of the players here are very knowledgeable and helpful (at least I have) and with that in mind, there's almost nothing you can't do with them. The fact that its PbP around here and not real time means that anything you don't know, you can look up and still post in a timely manner, thus appearing much more knowledgeable than you would scrambling through books at a table.
Just a suggestion. ;)
Either way, welcome to the boards, good luck finding or making a game, and I hope to play with you soon!

So, I made a new character I've had floating around for a while and rolled up in your Carrion Crown thread:
Lucelia's rolls are TERRIBLE!
Thanks for the GM-ing advice though. I hadn't thought of how the time factor could help :D
Awww, sadface! :<
(Really I just want you to GM something so I have an excuse to make more characters. >.> <.<)
Haha, in that case, I'll maybe have a crack at DM-ing sometime soon. I'm much the same though. I currently have a 12-child family that I want to RP every single member of: there aren't enough games in the world!
Seriously though, Lucelia's rolls came out as 13pt buy. I saw that person that got a 46 :|
Haha well I my best roll was a 15 in two characters XD, it's hard playing races with -2 in an ability this way... But keeping with the idea of the topic I will open a recruitment for the Legacy of Fire Campaign Path either today or tomorrow.
That is the glory of the dice. I know it might be unfair in some ways, I just like a splash of randomness - I really wanted someone to play a pirate with a 4 in my other game just to see how they'd do it.
Maybe I'm evil? :D
I think the stats are fine - if you want to take a more uncommon / powerful race to make up for it ... or be the skill monkey or sommat ... honestly proactiveness, usefulness, and RPin' skills more than make up for any stat discrepancy. IMO. Though I can see how that would be sadface!
@ raf - yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!
Well, I'll have a go at rolling up a character now Lexi and we'll see what happens. I'm happy to play just about anything, so I'll see what I can do :D
Raf - If I don't make it into Lexi's game I'd be more than happy to dive on the recruitment for LoF :D
@ Charles you might want to join different recruitments at the same time, if you get selected and cannot play all you have to do is post saying you will not play anymore.
