Hey guys!
I know that a recruitment thread is a fun place to plan and strategize concerning an upcoming game. We should also be sure not to hurt anyone's feelings by speculating about goodness of fit or suitability when the decision is up to the DM. It can be discouraging for people who are new to PbP, and undermines the DM's recruitment decisions if he thinks differently.
As of right now, it appears we have two dedicated arcane casters - Mawj and Tomas. Both builds would be fine for this campaign, and just take different tacts. Mawj's goal is to debuff the bejeezus out of enemies, leaving them blind, dead, dumb, crippled, and confused for the party to handle at their leisure. Tomas (just guessing here) likely wants to blast enemies with furious eldritch might until there is nothing left but a small crater and wisps of smoke. It looks like either one would make a good addition to the party, as would many of the other characters submitted in this thread.
Actually, having both would be beautiful. Mawj can lower enemy saving throws into the negative range, and Tomas can lay down AoE spells. ;)
My final selections are Angor Yasok, Morgrym Stonewall, Tomas Von Achiel, and Thessk.
There are some of you who I really wanted to take, but just because of how the group shook down I couldn't swing it, so I apologize to those who weren't selected and if you want to be considered for a substitution in case we lose someone in your role feel free to post or pm me saying so.
I'd like to be a back up consideration.
Congrats to everyone who made it.

In the beginning, I had the problem that paizo would not accept new characters, got a timed out. And then I heard that the GM did not like erastil paladins. So I saw no reason to take my time and make a well rounded backstory. Do not get me wrong, I even have them for my PFS chars, and even more for every other char I do.
Vampire up to 14 pages printout. But if I hear ,,, am do not like the concept, I do not waste time on it.
Keep me in consideration gm, id like to play sometime :)
Please keep me in mind for substitutes. More players means more likelihood of people dropping (not being negative or anything, but real life sometimes gets in the way of things).
I also would like to be considered as an alternate.
The party is in need of a new cleric. Please make sure you can meet all requirements as initially outlined in the OP.
I'm on it.
Currently constructing a dwarven cleric named Yurderl 'brownbeard' of the Underforest, serving Erastil as a support archer. What skills would the party require?
I would like to enter consideration for the cleric position.
I've created a fairly straightforward nearly-core support cleric who can handle supplementary fighting at low levels and can shift focus to healing and buffing at higher levels.
I believe the only non-core elements I have chosen are my deity (Ragathiel, an empyreal being) and having a masterwork backpack.
Here is a cleric from Tanner Nielsen. She is a all about healing friends and searing bad guys, especially undead.
"Praise the sun!"
All that is missing is her background, which seems would need to be adjusted somewhat since the party has already received their commission and departed for the Stolen Lands. I have a general outline in mind, and if you can fill me in on how to introduce her to the party, I can get it written up.
Your stats.. are horribly off, you need to fix them. Also prepare to be subsequently butthurt by Sugua.. because is not Lawful or Good and he is very up front about it

Aww, Sugua is like one of those jalapeno chocolates. He's all spicy and hot on the outside but on the inside he's sweet and gooey and goes good with coffee. ;)
He is right, though. A cleric with 10 wisdom will be practically useless as a spellcaster.
" Tell that to the Bandits, or that Bear! HAHA! "

Please be mindful of this statement. Our GM is not likely to choose you if you ignore this request.
Here is a link to what is required. Submission instructions.
Most notably the Format section seems to be rather important to DM Tuyena. :)
So far only Donovan is a choice because he followed the guide.. I will say, that Donovan may have issues With Sugua.
The real questions are if you can reliably met the requirements.

And that's different from the rest of the party, how? ;)
It isnt, juzt a note. Not everyone in the party has an issue, just the lawful greenhorns. Not that'll matter soonish.
I have to drop. School and work are getting too busy. Sorry and thanks.
I build Donovan's personality specifically so that while he is Lawful Good and from a crusading god, he really tries to exemplify the "lead by example" credo. That is, he may disagree with Sugua, even vehemently, but his first choice will always be to try to show why he thinks a particular idea is better, and to "walk the walk," rather than throwing down or getting into screaming matches.
EDIT: I should also note that at this early point in the adventure "lawful" is kind of a non-issue in dealing with bandits. We are, technically, not within the bounds of Brevoy. Their laws don't apply. If we are fighting for our lives against bandits, of course naturally Donovan wants to give them a chance to "see the light" and join forces -- like the brigands in Krull -- but he also understands the practical need to execute criminals when you're dealing with outlaws in the frontier. Also, if the group has knights and nobles (*cough* cavaliers), that means it de facto includes people who have been delegated with authority to conduct High Justice, meaning executions.
Funny thing is, Sugua is a prime example of lead by example so if he does something he expects other people will do it, if he doesnt and they don't he will let the situation handle itself. He however is VERY MUCH up to fighting things out if need be.
I'm not opposed to consensual tussles between characters, like if a fistfight broke out and then at the end everyone shook hands and kept adventuring, 48 Hours style. I'm opposed to situations that cause characters to try to kill each other (especially the "I slit his/her throat while (s)he's sleeping!") and derailing the adventure!
If that happens (Kil you in sleep) it won't come from Sugua and if that is an idea the person would have a rude awaking if they tried on this type of guy. As far as bouts, he would fistfight; because that is fighting. He doesnt care much what happens after that. Depends on how characters take losing/winning.
Yeah I would say Donovan looks good to go.
Go ahead and post into discussion if you want and I'll introduce Donovan to the party on the next morning, he'll be a late arrival from the charter group, maybe he got a bit lost on the way down, or took the scenic route.

Probably got lost. He's not exactly well-prepared for deep wilderness exploration. :)
Welp... I found reading through this recruitment threat very... enlightening, for my first foray into PBP gaming.
Our game is now seeking another. We are in need of a full arcane blaster.
Please refer to the opening post and make sure you can meet all specifications, as well the party is lvl 2 and your wealth should be around 250g.

I'd like to submit Halcyon here for consideration! I've had him built for a Kingmaker game for a fair while now.
A bit about me first however! I'm Canadian and in the Eastern Time Zone. My general 'hours of operation' are from 8am-9pm. However I am moving to a new job come the 16th and I'm hoping that time will expand to 7am - 10:30pm.
Now the potential snag. I work in IT Security. This means that when the internet is behaving I can sit and write up massive epics like you see in Halcyon's profile and have quick posts easily. When the internet isn't behaving...well, the buck stops with me and I'm going to be busy. That's not to say however I won't be checking in soon as I get my freedom. It's a curse of the IT world.
Second disclaimer. I will be getting married come June 6th of this year. which means I'll be busy with Real Life from roughly about June 3rd to June 22nd. While I maybe deficient in other categories as a husband to be, I feel that hunting for a computer in the tropics while on my honeymoon is a Bad Idea. As such I will be out of contact during that timeframe.
If you feel I am acceptable as a player, and Halcyon is fit to be your Arcanist, please let me know, and I will happily convert all the things to match the format required and get myself up to speed!
I'll get back to you soon.

Let's see an updated sheet.
DM Tuyena,
Do you absolutely need to have an arcane blaster for this campaign?
I have an interesting idea, but it is not an arcane blaster. If you absolutely require the arcane blaster I will understand.
-Death_Keeper
I have something in mind that I might have posted soon - mostly just mulling over a name (he has arrogantly "borrowed" the Rogarvia name). The only issue is that it is a sorcerer (albeit one built more towards blasting), while your party already has one. Would the different role be enough to justify using the same class as an already existing player?
We need someone who can provide that which the character before otherwise could. Go an look at the character Tomas.. if you can provide somthing similar than you are probably in the running. What he was happened to be a Arcane blaster. And relying on the current sorc for this is not an option. If you submit something make sure you can 1) Meet the requirements of this game and 2) be good at whatever your character can do.
Just based on the Current party composition you are basically forced to be Int Based Blaster or Buffer.. but a Full caster, otherwise your contribution may very well be minimal and thus less desired.
The missing character is Thomas the Wizard, Correct?
So the role that needs to be filled is the one of a ranged damage dealer?
I could use something along the lines of a Ranger specializing in stealth, survival, and archery? You have a cleric/paladin/inquisitor and a sorcerer, so you have Arcane and lots of divine. so that is quite a bit of spellcasting....
I could bring some skill and damage to the party with that sort of build without stepping on too many toes.
That's correct, the missing character is Tomas.
A Ranger is not desirable because while they fulfill the aspect of ranged damage, 1) we have plenty of other characters capable of performing their secondary duties. 2) They lack any form of AoE, which a blaster will get later on. 3) The party loses a lot of utility that a prepared arcane caster brings.

I suppose I must withdraw from the recruitment thread then.
Thank you for taking the time, and I hope that your campaign proceeds favorably
Another thing being the misconception that we dont have Survival, Stealth or martial range capability.. when the only reason Sugua has done so is more style and equipment more than anything else. Currently as a character he has already had to kill alot of things or bad stuff would have happened. We recently picked up a bow even a good bow. Nothing stopped him from picking up said bow and using it effectively. For he is a Slayer.
Its more along the lines of what the DM is pointing out. And one he did not. One.. the Sorc USED to be the paladin so we lost a frontline for a squishy. Two the Sorc is relatively new and has little to contribute.. while being squishy. Three he has no utility what-so-ever and being a sorc has delayed spellcasting so it'll be a while before he can branch out.
ya sry bout that, i plan on making up for it later in arial support but right now we gotta survive t that point
"I present to you, Gonzo! The Magnificent! Wonder of the world, and evoker of arcane mysteries!" He states, fabulously rocketing sparks from his fingertips and raising columns of fireworks behind him as his hat levitates, spinning above his head and then floats down to his hand as he swings his arm around his abdomen in the gesture of a magnificent bow.
"Be it fame, fortune, or desire, I humbly provide my talents for your cause."
Hoot, hoooo, hoo
Archimedes is thy name, my master and I are awaiting your approval
S'alright, as you said we have to see if you get there Al. Anyway sheet seems mostly fine save for lack of Familiar and other small things, he's no powerhouse but he has something at least.
Now Important.. what is your activity level?
Electricity pupil, eh? Always been my personal favorite element. And yeah, activity level is important. We've been running for the most part on two or three posts a day from most of us.
