Hi Folks,
I'm looking for a couple of players to top up a WotW campaign that I am running.
We currently have an antipaladin, a monk/cleric and a bard/alchemist. So at least one arcane caster would be nice
Before we dive into the nuts and bolts, I thought I would explain what exactly you are signing up for.
Combat
There will be no grid based combat. Combat will be held in the theatre of the mind. I will still post dungeon maps and the like, for orientation purposes, but we won’t be moving tokens on a board. This requires a few alterations to work smoothly.
1. No reach weapons.
2. There will be limited AoOs. Casting or using a ranged weapon in melee will probably be about it.
3. Flanking and the like. If multiple people are attacking the same target, it's 'flanked'.
5. Gentleman’s agreement: It will be mutually agreed that casters and ranged PCs and enemies are protected from melee attacks while melee defenders are still standing. I.e. I won’t bum rush your casters if you don’t bum rush mine.
The goal here is not to trivialize combat, but to speed it up.
Posting rate
I usually am able to check the boards daily, but my posting can be a little erratic depending on my workload and familial responsibilities. Generally, I fluctuate between daily and a couple times a week. As such, I’m not particular about my players posing habits, but try not to hold up the game. I will say that the squeaky wheel gets the grease, so I generally will keep up with the pace set by my players, whatever that might be. Note, if you disappear for a week, I'll probably drop you.
Posting style
I generally post shorter posts and I am fine with my players doing so as well. If you want to write more in depth posts, you are welcome to, but don’t make everyone read a novella. I prefer the RP that grows out of inter-PC interaction, than via epic flashbacks and inner monologue.
Commitment
Realistically, by applying to this game you are looking at a four year commitment, at least. Obviously things come up and interests change, but if you’re applying, try to think of it as getting a low maintenance pet. It doesn’t require much attention, but it does require it every day or so. That being said, I will be taking board history and number of previous posts into account during my evaluations. I don’t have any hard cutoff point, but if you’re just starting out, this might not be the best place to apply.
So you still want to apply...
Races: Human, Half-elf or dwarf prefered, as they are dominant races in the campaign. I won't outright ban anything, but know that I am biased in favour of those 3.
Classes: No gunslingers or paladins. Summoners must be of the unchained variety (other unchained variants are also fine) Everything else is probably fine.
25 pt buy. 2 bonus skill points per level Max HP at 1st, 1/2+1 for all other levels. LE prefered. 2 Traits.
You'll start at level 4, don't worry about gear yet, we're way below standard wealth levels at the moment, so I need to see what the other PCs wealth level is at first.
Fluff:
Don't worry too much about it just yet. A rough background is fine. Just have a reason why you would want to work for
the church of Asmodeus to overthrow a LG kingdom (Imagine if the least flexible Paladin ever got to form a kingdom. No freedom of religion, freedom of speech, super racist against non-humans.)
We can build it up if you get selected.
Note to those already familiar with WotW:
We are about to begin the breaking of Balentine. If you have previously played up to (or beyond) this point, you can create a character that escaped from Brandescar prison and all that jazz (including one of the campaign traits). Since you are already familiar with the plot, I would just dump you character in as if it had always been part of the party.
I think that is about it. I don't have a hard recruitment timeline, but no more than a week and as short as it takes for me to find a couple of characters I like.
If you have any questions, let me know, and thanks for the interest.
Hi Fanguar, Doomed Hero here.
Xanos sounds like a good fit for your game. He's been in three other WotW games so far that have all died before they got far. (He made it up to meeting with the bugbear chieftain once). He is, so far, my favorite character I've played on the boards and I would love to reprise him for your game.
His backstory does require some GM approval though. Please take a look and tell me what you think.
Ignore the stats for now. I'll adjust him to your specifications if you approve the concept.
I'm in a game that has just died at the same point so it would be easy to flow across. Additionally the other players are at a loose end. Link to our died game it was rather slow at the end with the GM having less and less time.
Link to my character Vank Stormfist, he is hobgoblin so not one of your preferred, but there is little I can do about that sorry. We were created with the Focus/foible system, I can easily switch to 25 pt if selected.
I present Haruk, who is also from a failed WotW. I've been trying to get in one of these games for some time now, but never made it out of Bradenscar. I guess it really is inescapable.
He's currently a Tiefling, but I can easily switch to a Human. He too was made via Focus/Foible, but a 25 point buy is not a problem.
Finally,
Sup Doomed Hero? We lookin to cause more shenanigans together? LOL
STOP FOLLOWING ME!
(actually Monkey's awesome. great player. above average stalker)
I'm not going to mess about. You all seem to fit the bill as to what I am looking for, so I see no point in dragging this out. I can accommodate you all and so I will. I will PM you each with a link to the game.
Recruitment closed.
Ach! That's what I get for waiting till the last minute
