I've been thinking about at starting a new PBP game.
I'm looking at running either;
The Dragon's Demand,
Feast of Ravenmoor,
Tears at Bitter Manor,
Realm of the Fellnight Queen,
Gallery of Evil, or
No Response from Deepmar.
I will say I have a few interesting ideas and story twists for the first 3 modules,
including an idea where players get do to use templates, but the players can't directly choose the template from the list, instead it'll be selected based on answers to questions and a few die rolls.
I do plan on modifying the modules in content and story so as things won't be completely predictable for those that played them before, as I might even augment some content with stuff from old Dragon magazine issues I have and quickly looked over recently and got some ideas from.....
I'll let folks vote on which modules they'd like to play, and then I can post more details.
Why not much more info, well each module I have differing ideas about and some of those ideas impacts character creation, mainly in the races and classes department.
Though basic Character creation has (not everything is listed)
Stats: Based on module (15PB, 20 PB, or array (if point buy there are mins and maxes to stop min/max play))
Traits: 2 (no drawbacks, no rich parents trait (limited to APG and Ult Campaign, and a few Blood of books))
Classes: Core guaranteed, others pending on module (Occult classes will be a clear no though).
Starting HP: Max
Alignment: Non-Evil
Background Skills: Yes (But one has to be; profession(), perform(), or craft())
Books Allowed: CRB, APC, ARG, ACG, UCom, "Blood Of" companion series (Angel, Fiend, Coven) + ??
Is 3PP or 3.5 material allowed: Not really, but pending on module some options will open up.
I have heard good things about the Dragon's Demand and would be interested.
Tears at Bitter Manor also looks intriguing

I'd be interested, for anything except Dragon's Demand as I'm already in a PbP for it. I do have to say 5th to 8th level is about my sweet spot for Pathfinder play, so I'm excited to see that most of your options are in that range.
I’d vote for Ravenmoor and Deepmar, but could play any of them. Your idea on the random templates seems cool, but I’d have to see the final ruling before applying. I like that you’re keeping it more to Paizo Pathfinder materials. :)

Seems most modules are dead even now.....

The semi-random template system is such that, each answer to a question gives a template(s) it relates to a point and then tally the points for each template. Next I roll 3d100, and see which template(s) they land on and look at the tally each one did, the winner is the die result that has the highest tally.
I'll use one of the questions as an example;
Which of the four elements do you think matches the Character;
Fire, Water, Air, Earth;
Now if you answered "Air", any template that I put with an answer of/to "air" gains a point.
More points, the higher it is likely to get a certain tempalte provided the RNG doesn't hate you.
I'd be most interested in Dragon's Demand or Tears at Bitter Manor. I've a
Rondlero Duelist Fighter I've been trying to play at higher levels, I think Tears at Bitter Manor would be great for him but isn't in your allowed sources.

I'd recommend starting with a fresh character idea when I post up the full Character Creation rules.
Since not All Paizo content is open for use.
Modules don't tend to draw quite as much interest as Adventure Paths, as they aren't the big names that Adventure Paths are. I actually find modules the ideal material for PbP, though, as they're long enough to have a full story but short enough that even the most average group has a fair shot at completing that story all the way through.

Yep, that is the main reason I pick modules, as Every AP I've started has died in either the first book, or the second book.
But I can also string modules along and make a mini AP with my modifications.Was thinking of doing CotCT batman style, but I'm sticking to my no AP rule.

I'm down for the Dragon's Demand!
Looks like for the moment, The Dragon's Demand is in first
followed by a four-way tie for second between;
Tears at Bitter Manor, Realm of the Fellnight Queen, No Response from Deepmar, and Feast of Ravenmoor.
Now I have planned for a few modules in being turned into a Mini-AP with a set of other modules modified to make a new story,
The other modules, if completed I'll figure out how to continue the game if players still want to continue.

Fellnight or dragon's demand sound fun. WOuld have to see more on creation specifics though before committing.
I haven't played any of them, so I'd be interested in any. Which modules would you consider 3pp for? I try to use 3pp classes when it's not PFS, just because I'd like to use some of the stuff I've bought over the years, but it's not a deal breaker.

As I said
Since I have ideas tied to specific modules, so the modules have differing Character Creation rules mainly in the classes and races area.

The amount of 3PP would be limited only a few pieces here and there, and there is some of the old 3.5 content that'll be open as well.
Again some of it is controlled by module selection, as there is a monstrous amount of 3PP stuff out there so options will be limited to keep things managable.Though I do have a sense of humour in a limited way if your willing to poke fun at your own character, stick the character with a gag the party can poke fun at, or to be silly....
Obviously there's quite a list of people interested, so there's no guarantee of getting in, but Dragon's Demand sounds awesome...and I'd be up for playing something else if the winds and votes blow that way.
I'd be interested in Dragon's Demand (like everyone else), Realm of the Fellnight Queen, and No Response from Deepmar.

Since Dragon's demand has been keeping the Top spot with over 50% interest, It looks like Dragon's Demand it'll be.
So I'll get around to preparing the Official recruitment OP.
yeah that sounds good. I haven't played any so it should be a good experience if I can get in now.
HMM thinking.....
Almost done the OP.....
Double checking everything over....
And refining the questions and their answers some since I added a new question, and added a few more templates to the list.....
Will definitely be watching for the announcement!
Yes it starts at level 1
Hop into the link above your post.
But also know it won't be normal game.
and you need to get in fast.
