This is the recruitment thread for an off-site play-by-post Core Pathfinder campaign called The Wold, located at WoldianGames.com.
The Wold is a long-running Dungeons and Dragons campaign world that emphasizes play by post gaming and a commitment to write one game turn every weekday. We are a community of about 60 gamers in eight long-running games, and we are looking for new members to start a new game or join an existing one.
What do you need to know about the Wold?
• We are here to stay! The campaign dates back to 1985, and we have online archives back to 1996. You can expect to start a character and play through 20 levels over the course of a 10-year career.
• We are free! There’s no cost to join and no test to pass. Check out some of the links below, and if you like us, you are in. As our founder, Jerry says, “There is no tryout or application. My experience is that those players who stay are the ones who would have passed any application or tryout anyway. So I let the players weed themselves out or remain to become a permanent player.”
• We offer a very rich gaming experience! We have our own homegrown gods, nations, races, and peoples; we have custom classes, spells, feats, items, and more — all detailed in our own wiki. We play by the Pathfinder Core with our homebrew options, so no gunslingers or psions or oracles or such. Core plus House only!
• We focus on heroic themes! All our player characters are Good. Feel free to create a troubled and conflicted character, so long as you are interested in redemption, nobility, and overcoming obstacles to become a true hero.
• We are a friendly community of people from all over the world, from all walks of life, and of all ages! The gaming groups that stick together over time are the ones in which players become friends, and we encourage that.
We are currently starting a first level game that has openings now and that will begin May 1. Here is some info: "In an archipelago not many years removed from open warfare, the three homebrew PC taur races -- minotaur, liontaur, and centaur -- are figuring our how to set aside their ancient animosities. On Liontaur Isle a band of young adventurers has found the perfect place to set forth on the path to fame and fortune. Join that band in a first level Pathfinder game with seven other heroes, posting every weekday as your adventure begins.

Dot. Consider me in.
Thanks, Castle Blades!
Like I was saying, we do not use applications in the Wold. Instead, we take everybody who wants to play. We find that the people who turn out to be poor matches for the Wold tend to go awol or bow out, and that's fine. Plus real life takes its toll, and people have to step out for school or a second job or a baby or whatever. Then we recruit to fill openings.
Which is all to say, I now have 10 players for 8 openings in the new Taur Isles game, and you are the eleventh. So odds are you won't make it into the game, because while we do not use applications, we are first come first serve. So here are your choices. (1) Ask to join an existing game. We have openings in games at levels 3 (urban adventures in a magical floating city), 6 (a game based on a trade route near an elven kingdom), and 8 (a group seeking to reform a mercenary company from within). Or you can wait, maybe six months, maybe a year, for an opening in the new Taur Isles game, which will likely be level 2-3 by then. But we are not using a wait list, so no promises on waiting at all.
Sorry to not be able to offer you the level 1 slot. I hope one of these other options are interesting. If so, please email me and we'll figure it out.
I'm interested in playing a 1 to 20. But I just can't seem to find a recruitment forum anywhere. It says on the Wiki you use Pathfinder rules now?
EDIT: Just read your previous post. Well, I'm interested in anything I can be sloted into, so long as I can get to 20.
EDIT EDIT: Just actually read your previous post. I wouldn't mind any of those options - except waiting. not really my style.

The Wold is a good community site, I played on it for nearly 8 years and took a drow druid from 1st to 16th.
Left about 4 years ago so my information might be out of date. It uses Pathfinder Core plus their own set of additional class, races, and setting. All the games are custom written. It's works best if you plan at some point to help support the site community by GMing or helping in other ways.
I cam GM. That is what I do on my other paizo account.
Thanks for the good word, Glyn! Sure, we're still the same, pretty much. Same old Wold!
Yeah, it is nice when players give back to the community as a DM or other staff job, but lots do not, and that's fine.
The first level game has filled up, but we still have openings in mid level games. Please shoot me an email and CC Jerry and we'll get you processed.

Sorry, I did some thinking last night, and concluded I'm a little to wound up on the pbps on the paizo website. Maybe when I finish one of my campaigns (I'm refering to my alternate account...).
No prob; have fun gaming!
Interested, email sent.
Just wanted to give this a bump. We're still going strong, just about 20 years online! We have openings in mid-to-high level games currently, and we're especially looking for players to join our all-halfling 9th level game -- almost 10th!
Please email me if you are interested!

Oh dang! I remember you guys. I joined almost three and a half years ago, but ended up disappearing cause things at my post were starting to get crazy. I lost internet for almost two months right when The Parting was supposed to get going.
