[QUOTE="Kaodi, post: 3157778, member: 1231"] It's been mentioned plenty of times that you can try posting a character and see if anyone wants to DM a campaign for it, so what the hell, I thought I'd give it a shot. Worse that can happen is nothing comes of it, which is OK. I've started playing in Living Eberron, and I am trying my hand at DMing a solo Eberron campaign which stars Isida Kep'Tukari, and I am sort of hoping that I will get a chance to play in a solo game myself. However, if it came down to it, I can live with a couple of extra people. The adventure I'm in in Living Eberron features three of us, and I think that is a decent number. I don't quite understand why the standard number for PbP is six when the " quintessential party " is four. Anyway... " My name is Saal Arendt, of Kerkulin, a town on the northern border of the Silver Wood in Aundair.
