I'm checking if there is interest in a Forgotten Realms campaign. You will need a copy of the Forgotten Realms Campaign Set for First Edition. Available here. We will be using Pathfinder 1e. The campaign itself is set in the Year of the Prince. I'm also setting it in Cormyr. This book will come in handy. So will Volo's Guide to Cormyr. All three books are inexpensive.
This is just an interest check to see if people are interested in playing a campaign in the Forgotten Realms.
I'd be interested in taking a stab at it. I loved the old FR setting from the grey box when it was new!
I’m interested in hearing more, certainly.
Alright. I've been thinking of a Mini Campaign set in Eveningstar. The campaign has orcs in it, but unlike what Ed says, they're not the cause of the trouble.
Oh, you might want to listen to the Hobbit soundtracks to get your creative juices flowing.
what about a drow ckeric of eikistraee

Might work.
Well I would really like to get into the game since the other closed.
There is room for you, don't worry. I'm just checking to see who's interested and if there is enough interest.
Any red wizards interested? I'd like to play a Thayan Knight-- or Gladiator accompanying you.

Neat Idea!
Interest!
Yeah, I’m interested. Don’t want to play a villain though.
I would love to go with a red wizard depending on starting level of play.
She would have to be a good or at least a N character I believe.
Neutral would be fine
Looks like some interest is building.
Thoughts:
Cavalier(Order of the Staff) for the Knight
Alternating Fighter with some class for the Gladiator.

Barbarian?

So while doing a bit of research on characters that might fit the setting I stumbled about an article from Dragon #307 that offered some Cormyr-related PrCs.
So without knowing anything about the duration and level range of the mini-campaign, would you mind me building a character with one of those PrCs in mind (not necessarily talking rules, I'm coming from a lore standpoint)?
In specific, I'm talking about the Royal Scout of Cormyr (according to the article, an "elite order of Purple Dragon scouts in service of the Crown"). Now as you've said this to be a FR 1st ed. game and this article already is from the 3e era, I'd just like to know if it would be ok for you to add the lore into the game (I'm thinking about playing a ranger either striving to get admitted into the ranks of said order or already being part of it)
Alright. But you must provide the PrC rules so I can look it over.
Would there be room for a Faerie Dragon Arcane Trickster?
Very interested. Much of my early Roleplaying was in the Realms.
Looking through the ideas a Rogue looks like it would be useful. I'll dig out my old books and see what would fit?
Barbarian?
That might be the simplest route. Was also considering a Brawlbarian.
Alright. Remember, this game is for one adventure. After that adventure is over, the game is done.
What level would it be at?
level seven
I am interested in this PBP game if there is still room, loves me some Realms!
hehe. It's just an interest check. Not a recruiting thread. Although, I will be recruiting if there is enough interest. ;)

Fightbarian for the gladiator, then.
Now... Which wizard will Wynne willingly ward?
At level 7, I'd be a Faerie Dragon, with 1 level of Sorcerer, 1 level of Rogue, and 4 levels of Arcane Trickster per the Monsters as PCs rules, if you'll have me.
I could get that whipped up in no time if allowed!
Alright. But you must provide the PrC rules so I can look it over.I can do that, but as said before, it's not that I necessarily want to use the rules, but that I would want to use the lore from that PrC. I'd be perfectly content with building the character with PF1 rules only.
Right. Well I never got Dragon #307. That's why I want to take a look at the article.

A fairy dragon PC? Hmm.
How do you feel about "Those who Harp"? some silver tongued bard action, and yes, a meddler of the first order...(Elminster made me say that). Also I do own a copy of Volo's Guide to Cormyr (just re-read it a week ago oddly), and it may well be older than some of ye... (Elminster again).
I would lean character wise towards a half-elven bard (silver balladeer) / wizard (hallow necromancer [perhaps]) combo. (I MAY just have a strong like of one Danilo Thann). Though single class bard would be just as well.

Handy dandy link to the Heroes of Corymr article from dragon #307, free of charge. BARD POWER BABY!

I can also have the character ready to go quickly, with a decent, but not long winded back story (and one that is name drop free, and does not involved a certain dark elf with two scimitars or his awesome cat, neither of which I will name here LoL)

Right! Can fill the Rogue/Scout slot quite well..
Alright, make him up.

I can adjust his background to the areas around Cormyr.
