I am about to begin o CoS game here in the forums, so I'd pick the other one, but in any case I'd have fun and I believe myself capable of avoiding the metagame.
Preferences for games includes
Secret of Saltwater Marsh
Filios
Mikkel Madsen
Aeshuura
Daniel Stewart
Jereru
Curse of Strahd
Kubular
You can put me down for CoS.
I think I'd prefer SSS since it's a shorter term module. This would be my first PbP game and I'd want to be able to fully commit to it.
Plus a quick google reveals that it sounds awesome! Strong elements of exploration, team problem-solving, and piecing together clues are exactly what I'm looking for in a game.
And a haunted house! I'm in, though I can also do Curse of Strahd if there are too many players for Saltmarsh already.

Curse of Strahd is definitely of most interest to me!
If Saltmarsh is set in Greyhawk, count me in for that one, it's my favorite campaign world :-)

How experienced of a PbP player are you?
Very? Multiple games, playing and running. Sadly a lot of them have dies but I have one I run and one I play in that are working up to 5 years here on the boards...
What is your preferred post rate for games?
I prefer once a day Mon-Fri. My experience is that weekends tend to flicker. If I can get more in, great.
What is your most active posting times?
Mon-Fri 9-5:30 PST but I carry a phone app so I can get stuff in other times.
Are their days/weeks where posting is impossible for whatever reason?
Not impossible. I have a very active 5yr old who makes weekends...dynamic. Posting can be harder for me then but I find that if others are posting, I can be too. I tend to go with the flow on the posting frequency in that way.
Let me know a little about you, why would you be a good fit in my game?
I tend to think I am pretty upbeat. I hopefully play interesting characters and generally am consistent in making games work. I would like to think I have a reputation for being a players GM and a GMs player, in that I play to my role but understand and respect what the other group is going through. I'm flexible, fair and a delight, lol.
What type of game are you interested in, Paizo AP (using 5E rules) or WotC AP or something else.
Anything. Everything. Its all about the group as far as what is or is not fun. I currently am running and playing in a variety of games so I would rather not have tons of overlap (Curse of Strahd comes to mind). There was talk of Winter's Reign, that would be fun. Some of the other less standard Paizo fare too. Saltmarsh or the Giants series would be good fun too. I have started both in various times of my life but never got to complete them...
How experienced of a PbP player are you?
Been on these boards for around 3 years, seen many games go by the wayside, but I persevere. A couple of the games I'm in are at 2+ years, but that's the
exception unfortunately. I always have the hope that every game I join will duplicate the success of those games.
What is your preferred post rate for games?
I always try to get a post in every day, even weekends
What is your most active posting times?
Evenings , EST. I do get some posts in during the day with my phone.
Are their days/weeks where posting is impossible for whatever reason?
Some weekends are so jam packed that it just doesn't happen, 3 girls under 6....
Let me know a little about you, why would you be a good fit in my game?
I'm up for anything, as my list of dead games at the bottom of my campaign tab can atest. I've always tried to be a good roleplayer, advancing the story
for everyone's benefit. I'm always in it for the long haul. Long history of rpg play, dating way back to Grade 5 in 1984. Had to stop due to real life and
found these boards 3 years ago to get my fix :)
What type of game are you interested in, Paizo AP (using 5E rules) or WotC AP or something else.
Adventure Paths are awesome, so any would be of interest, whether Paizo or other. Of particular interest would be the originals Shackled City and Age of Worms
as well as the original AD&D adventure arcs (U1-3, A1-4, D1-3 etc...).
As for your question for Saltmarsh vs Strahd.... if you ran Saltmarsh, would you be continuing the series ?
The Greyhawk Wiki is a great source for information and even maps of the setting. It would be easy to place there.
@Piratedevon Nice to meet you! I've lurked on a few of your games!
@Edelsmirge Sure thing!
@Aeshuura Let's say SSS is gonna be set in Greyhawk. I'll have to bone up on my Greyhawk lore but it shouldn't be a big problem.
@Daway UA stuff is AOK with me. I've not found any problems with it, the Psionic stuff isn't finished so it would probably be a bad idea to work with that but everything else is fine.
@Spazmodeus If the group posted consistently and we finished the module in a decent amount of time, yeah I'd probably be ok with running the other modules in the series.
@Filios Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.

When are final decisions anticipated for the selection of parties to proceed to character creation?
| 2 people marked this as a favorite. |
I'll be picking groups next Wednesday.
Outstanding, thank you!

Ha ha, I did a grand search for Greyhawk archetypes/character concepts. Apparently, in an article where someone asked Gary Gygax what made Greyhawk different, his answer was selfishness. Everyone in Greyhawk is generally very mercenary or out for treasure.
I will just be mulling about concepts until the final selections are made... ^_^

" Suppose a character in your party gets killed. If you're a Dragonlance character, you say, `I shall honor the memory of my departed friend and swear vengeance on his killer.' In the Realms, maybe you try to get him resurrected. In Greyhawk you say, `Dibs on his boots!'" "
Hah! =)
Quick bump to the post.

Excellent!
My vote is for strahd.
@Pirate Yes, I'll take 4-6 people for each group. However, I might offer some people from either list an option to play in the other game.
What will I base my decisions on?
1) Posting History
2) Posting times
3) Have I gamed with you or followed any games you played in before?
4) How invested do you seem in your other games?
5) Some vague notion that can only be described as "gut feeling"

So the general idea behind my guy is that he is a hard working miner just trying to keep his family fed and taken care of. He returns home on weekend to a think bank of mists that his family disappeared right in front of him and he was in a completely different place. He carries with him the last remaining items he has of his family. A dagger whose hilt is wrapped in a lock of his wife's hair, a teddy bear, and a couple other children's items I have yet to determine.
Hello all, sorry for the late hello in the recruitment thread.
How experienced of a PbP player are you?
I've been playing PBP since the September of 2014, I wouldn't say I'm near as experienced as many I see on the boards, but not a complete newbie. I was though when Niles took me in for his Iron Gods game, thank you. Still a great deal to learn with both systems.
What is your preferred post rate for games?
I will post usually 1 or more times per day, in all of my PBP games, yet there are times I'm waiting for others to post - personally I may feel I've been hogging the decision making, so waiting for others to chime in or waiting on the GM to update to know what is happening.
What is your most active posting times?
My most active times of the day to post are from about 2pm - 10pm EST, however I am checking the campaign page throughout the day for new post to see what is going on. And as someone posted earlier, if I can get a 5 minute post in during work I will.
Are there days/weeks where posting is impossible for whatever reason?
No normal day of the week is impossible to post, however while I'm at work most times I am only able to read what others are posting and then catch up in the afternoon/evening when I get home.
Let me know a little about you, why would you be a good fit in my game?
I am always up for a good story and a team player. I am learning with each of my characters, as so far have yet to play the same thing twice. Building the character and seeing where they end up keeps me with the game.
What type of game are you interested in, Paizo AP (using 5E rules) or WotC AP or something else.
I haven't had the pleasure of playing most of the APs/modules whether they be Pathfinder/5E, so as long as it is a good story I welcome the challenge and plan to enjoy the ride.
I'd like to be placed in Secret of Saltwater Marsh.
