We are in need of a new GM for a Curse of the Crimson Throne. I would say that we are about 1/2 to 2/3 the way through the 1st book. There are at least two players that wish to continue with a third that has voice desire but have not heard anything from for some time.

I hope we can get someone to take over from where we are and not have to start over from the beginning.
I might be willing to take this on. I looked at your remaining players and I didn't see anything too out of the ordinary or on my list of banned stuff. Let me take a looksee at the AP and I'll let you know by tomorrow afternoon.
Edit: I spent a bit of time skimming through what has happened before for your game, and I feel I have a good handle on what is going on. I am going to put my proposal in a spoiler below, since it's a bit wordy. I'll let the surviving players talk among themselves and you can let me know if you're willing to accept my proposal. If so, I will be more than happy to run a re-recruitment to add 1-2 players (since the AP was designed for 4, that's what I think will give the best experience) and then run the AP; if not, I totally understand and wish you guys the best!
1) I noticed that one of you has a feat from a 3rd party source. I don't allow 3rd party stuff in games I run, so that feat would have to be reselected. Also, I don't really care for the Hero Point system, so I would not be using that.
2) I was running this AP for my local group when my work situation at the time required me to have to stop. The group was much further along than you were (they were somewhere in the middle of book 4) so I would like to advance this group to book 3, for a couple of reasons: one, there is some content in book 2 that kinda drags a bit and I'm not fond of how certain things are implemented (I don't want to spoil anything, so I won't fully explain). This would mean that your characters would be advancing to 9th level (we would rework gear/money to just be character wealth by level and you could pick your gear with those resources, including purchasing anything you might be interested in keeping that you're earned so far). I would be using half plus one for HP (i.e. 5 for a d8) instead of max at each level, but you can keep the ability score base you already have.
3) Given the nature of system creep (the idea that newer books have more powerful things in them) I will be rewriting some of the important enemies to make them a better challenge or to allow them to utilize newer rules to more properly align their crunch with their fluff. When I rewrite characters, I always use the character creation method the players have used.
Let me know one way or the other and we'll go from there!
Thanks, Vrog! We're talking things over now.
No worries friend.
We're all on board with you taking over and recruiting another 1 or 2 people. I would, however, like to request that you recap any important plot elements from the rest of Book 1, from where we are to the end, as well as Book 2 so that I don't feel like I'm in the middle of the story and unsure of everything important that's happened previously. Would that be okay?
That was the plan. I'll get a recruitment set up shortly. Let me pop over to the gameplay thread and go over the plan from there.
