I'm toying with the idea to start a new AP, what are people craving to play?
Me personally? There are only a few that I haven't read/run, so in order from most preference to least:
- Hells Vengeance
- Giantslayer
- Kingmaker
- Hells Rebels
EDIT: Totally forgot about Reign of Winter. It's definitely up there for me.
Kingmaker is always in high demand but I am personally feeling Skulls and Shackles right now because of a new character concept.
giant-slayer
or, preferably, some 5e.
Having never played Kingmaker I definitely want to play it sometime, but I'm not really feeling it right now.
Giantslayer is definitely high on my list of interest.
I've been interested in the following, but have never had the chance to play:
Skull and Shackles
Reign of Winter
Mummy's Mask
Carrion Crown
Jade Regent
Skull & Shackles.
Curse of the Crimson Throne, Carrion Crown, and Mummy's Mask all a distant second.
I'll take the opportunity to direct you to this thread.
That being said, if I don't make the cut for MisterLurch's Legacy of Fire game, Reign of Winter would be at the top of my list.
I'll vote for skull and shackles.
Reign of winter is welcome as well.
Reign of Winter
Second Darkness
I'd prefer one of the newer ones, Wrath of the Righteous, Giantslayer, Hell's Rebels, Hell's Vengeance. Or just wait for Strange Aeons, which is looking mighty interesting.
In my opinion, do an AP not all that done in the forums.
Shattered Star?
I usually forget Shattered Star even exists.
Kind of an oldie by now, but I've been feeling a hankin' for Jade Regent lately.

Anything that starts at lvl 3 or above.
Ap-wise:
Skull & Shackles
or something you don't see a recruitment every week for: I'm looking at you... countless RoRL, WotR, Serpent's skull.
Shattered Star, Council of Thieves, or Second Darkness perhaps
I'd be up for shattered star.
I'd be happy just to get into a game, whatever it is. Given my druthers, though, probably Kingmaker or Skulls & Shackles.
I'd be happy for any game.

I'd love to try any of the adventure paths other than Carrion Crown or Kingmaker (or Mummy's Mask because I'm GMing that in real life), but I'm especially interested in Iron Gods, Hell's Rebels, or Second Darkness. I've tried applying many times, but there seem to always be at least 3 times as many applicants as slots. I'm tired of getting all excited by a character, only to be rejected. I would be willing to run a game of Mummy's Mask for people, in return for a guaranteed seat in one or two other APs. Anyone else interested in this kind of setup?

Yeah, I've just been thinking about running a game on PbP again, I'd be happy to something like this with you.
Giant Slayer and Jade Regent
I have a silly, hard to realise idea for a character for the latter though I must add it's by no means a must.
I know it's a bit early to sell a character concept, especially since the AP hasn't even been decided, but I feel I should check the feasibility now.
He'd be a runt from the Kreeg family who lost track of his parents as a toddler in the wilds. He would have been found by a farmer who took him in, figuring he'd make a useful farmhand and could even pull a plough. The farmer was a devotee of Kurgess and would normally come out during local events and festival to participate in the games and he'd bring up the character as a devotee of Kurgess as well.
Eventually the farm would have been attacked by my character's family who killed "dad" and the character would have run for his life. He would have been found bawling his eyes out by a Varisian caravan who took pity on him despite what he was. They would have made contact with Koya who more or less took him in. He has been living on a farm outside Sandpoint ever since, working the fields for a farmer whose a friend of Koya. The farmer, who he calls "boss", Koya and Ameiko would be the only human contacts he has. In case of Ameiko he sometimes helps with transport of heavy objects, though always in the dead of night.
Mechanically I'd be looking at using the Ogre as found in the ARG. I'd be thinking of starting with a level of racial HD or an NPC class to compensate for the increased strength at lower level. This level could possibly later be retrained as the impact of the higher ability scores starts to wane.
Thanks everyone for the responses. I'm surprised by the amount of Jade Regent I've seen, I didn't know that one had resonated with so many. I'm already running, playing in or have played Runelords, Reign of Winter, Council of Thieves, Skull & Shackles - so not terribly interested in a new version of those.
Second Darkness, Giant Slayer, Jade Regent, Mummy's Mask and Hell's Rebel's are probably my top five candidates right now.
Out of those I'd be interested most in Giantslayer, but would likely apply for any of them.
Second Darkness, Giant Slayer, Jade Regent, Mummy's Mask and Hell's Rebel's are probably my top five candidates right now.
Went through the whole thread, and as far as I can see, the votes were as follows:
6 - Reign of Winter
6 - Skull & Shackles
4 - Giant Slayer
4 - Mummy's Mask
3 - Hells Rebels
3 - Jade Regent
3 - Kingmaker
3 - Second Darkness
2 - Carrion Crown
2 - Hells Vengeance
2 - shattered star
1 - Council of Thieves
1 - Curse of the Crimson Throne
1 - Iron Gods
1 - Wrath of the Righteous
Hope this helps.
Thanks for that tally NerdOfYear!
Let's see...normally my answers would be (in no particular order of preference):
Jade Regent
Wrath of the Righteous
Curse of the Crimson Throne
Skull & Shackles
Reign of Winter
To adjust based on the options that GM ShadowLord isn't interested in, that leaves me with (also in no order of preference):
Jade Regent
Wrath of the Righteous
Curse of the Crimson Throne

Did you spot Redelia's proposition up above? I'm just thinking if there are a few different things that are popular, we could easily each run on of those games and offer spots to the other two GMs in those games.
For example:
Redelia's Mummy's Mask
(1) NerdOfTheYear
(2) Shadowlord
(3) Forum member, via application
(4) Forum member, via application
(5) Forum member, via application
Shadowlord's Giantslayer/Jade Regent
(1) NerdOfTheYear
(2) Redelia
(3) Forum member, via application
(4) Forum member, via application
(5) Forum member, via application
NerdOfTheYears's Hell's Rebels/Hell's Vengeance/Whatever we all decide on
(1) Redelia
(2) Shadowlord
(3) Forum member, via application
(4) Forum member, via application
(5) Forum member, via application
I would love in no particular order: Giant Slayer, Second Darkness, and Mummy's Mask

For example:
I would actually consider being a part of something like this as well, though four games is probably starting to get to be a bit many.

Yeah, four games would crush me (and also there would be many chances for other forum goers to apply :P).

If we have three or more GMs interested, I would suggest that we just say each GM is guaranteed a slot if they want it in each of the others. I would probably only want to play in 2.
If we have more than 6 GMs interested, things get more interesting, but I'm sure that with good will we can make it work.
edit: I also would suggest that the GMs make their characters for games they will play before general recruitment is opened, just out of fairness to others who want to apply.
NerdOfTheYear has a brilliant solution to the problem at hand. Giving the GMs opportunity to operate from both sides of the GM screen.
I say throw up recruitments for each and let's get playing.
I'd be interested in Giantslayer, Mummy's Mask, and Hell's Rebels in that order, as I'm already currently involved in SD and JR.
I'm still reeling from not getting selected in that LoF game, so I'm redoubling my efforts to get a second pbp game going!
Wow. Six games is a lot of games. I mean I'm already running/in a bunch and six new ones would be... Challenging? Lol. I'd be open to three games though.
I have my own forums that I and a few other GMs run games where I custom coded specifically designed for Pathfidner PbP to add a much needed facelift and feature set. Things like tracking active conditions, HP, spell, abilities, etc are (hopefully) much easier. I was hoping to cajole my group to play over there.
If be open to three games though.
Well, I'm happy to run one, and play in 2.
So, we just need to narrow down who runs what, then we can open up applications in a few days.

I think Redelia said anything other than MM NOY, unless I'm misreading that.
I'll open a recruitment thread tomorrow and get the ball rolling. I'll take Redalia, NOY and four other applicants.
EDIT: I reread her statement and see she said she would run it again. Likewise I can run ROW if that's what you both want and I'm playing in two others.
Oh my word, did you just say you're opening a Reign of Winter recruitment? If you decide to run it on the Paizo boards, I am all in on that idea.

I'd be happy to play any of Second Darkness, Giant Slayer, Jade Regent, Hell's Rebel's, whatever you most want to run. But my preference is probably for one of the last three.
I think Redalia is running Mummy's Mask.
I'm happy to run pretty much anything. I've just gotten Hell's Vengeance pt1 and would be willing to run that once the players' guide is out, but I am honestly happy to run just about anything.
I'm up for playing in a Mummy's Mask or something like that for my character, Alayi Ah'Mheed. If you are still looking for players though.

Here is the link for my recruitment. Right now, only the other GMs from this exchange plan are invited. Later I will open recruitment to the public. The other GMs are guaranteed to be accepted as long as they make characters that meet the posted requirements, although I may ask them to adjust their characters slightly.
Alrighty, GIANTSLAYER recruitment thread is up for the GM's in this exchange program. Once we're done there I'll open it up for the others.
@NekotaMoon - none of the GMs have the name of W.O.P.R. So I doubt it's an option.
I have characters ready for both of your games, Shadowlord and Redelia. Hopefully their roles won't be filled already beforehand.
I'd like to play all the Varisian-starting campaigns - Second Darkness, Curse of the Crimson Throne, Shattered Star, Jade Regent.
