The Seven Realms Await! (full)

[Vigwyn the Unruly]

I'm interested

I'm interested in this game. I particularly like the fact that you have obviously put a lot of time and effort into the setting. How frequently do you expect people will be posting? I'm in a couple of other web-based games, but am very frustrated by the fact that the posting cycle seems to be only 1-2 per week.

Another option is Nordheim, but I guess that's a matter of whether you are looking for a "medieval knight" type of fellow, or a more "vikingesque" sort of character.

I'm thinking more medieval knight. I'll get started on him. How do you want to do hp and starting equipment.

I've never played a play by post game, but this sounds too interesting to pass up. Do you have the patience to deal with a first timer? If so, I'd like to give a wizard a shot, probably a summoning specialist. Sound OK?

Well, if you can be patient with me, I'll do my best to return the favor. The character idea seems fine with me.

My only useful answer to that, honestly, is that it's likely a matter of what the players are comfortable with. I'm hoping to keep things moving pretty well, but it's not fair to expect folks to post five times a week, either.

So, most likely I'll play at the pace set for me. I hope to be able to post myself every other day, at the least.

max at first level, avg thereafter, for hp
13,000 gp of which no more then 6,500 gp can be spent on any one item.

I'm thinking of playing a human or half-orc barbarian/cleric from Nordheim.

EDIT: So in that case, what is the pantheon and domains and such?

[wizardneedsfood]

Konar and Vanar both look solid for the concept, but just to make sure, are there any other Norse-esque barbarian gods?

 

[Gomez]

I am very interested. Thinking of a roguish type. Will post more information after I think about it!

Zol-Arak and Bor-Gala are the other two Northern deities, but they might be a bit evil for PC use.
