We're going to run the War of the Burning Sky adventure path produced by ENWorld. About the GM I've been playing D&D for over 30 years, most of that running games. I'm pretty organized in my approach and I am always very prepared for each session. Hand outs and battle maps are regular occurrences during my sessions. I tend to let the prepared material describe potential paths the heroes may take, but ultimately let the heroes decide their own fates. I'm the type of GM who doesn't let the rules get in the way of good story and RP. I have no problem fudging die rolls when it makes sense to do so. I might also tell you that even though that roll you just made might make you think your character did something, it still didn't. I don't do that frequently; just when it really matters to the story. I'm also the type of GM who tends to reward creativity in all its forms much more than strict adherence to the rules. It's all about the story! About the Players  The players committed so far are in their mid 30's to early 40's. They've all been playing for years. For this campaign, We're looking for players with the following qualities:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Mature, organized, prepared</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Interested in story and role play at least as much as dungeon delves</li> </ul>Experience playing 4e or even D&D is not required. The rules are simple enough to learn and we have experienced players to help new players.  About the Game As I mentioned earlier, the adventure path will be War of the Burning Skies by ENWorld. The intent is to run the whole thing - level 1 through 30 - over the course of about a year.  Games will run every other week on Friday evenings or Sunday afternoons for 4-6 hours per session. Location will usually be my house, which is in northeast Macomb County. We hope to start in early September but if we get enough players quickly we could start earlier. Expectations  We like to have fun with our gaming, but we like to treat it as serious fun. To that end, we'd like to lay out the following guidelines for our players:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">This will be primarily a story and role play driven campaign. Keen interest in the story will be required for you to enjoy the game fully. Rules lawyers will find this game excruciatingly painful.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Communication is important not just to convey information but also to build a good team dynamic. There will be a web forum for the group in which participation will greatly enhance your experience with the campaign. We'll also encourage players to share their contact info with each other.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Players should be able to manage their own character sheets, advancement, and so forth. Character info will be due to the GM a few days before each session.</li> </ul>Next Steps  If you think you'd be interested in playing with us, I recommend you read the <a href="http://paizo.com/store/byCompany/e/enPublishing/4thEdition/v5748btpy883b" target="_blank">War of the Burning Sky Player's Guide</a>. It's a free download PDF with about 16 pages of content describing the game setting and setting specific rules. If you find yourself driven by the Player's Guide to create a character concept for the campaign, please put those thoughts together and then contact me via reply here (which I read occasionally) or via email (which I read frequently) at tim(at)thc1967(dot)com. I hope to talk with each potential player before we start. I'll answer any questions I can and I'll be interested to hear your gaming experience, why you'd like to join us, and very importantly your character concept(s) and why your character is in Gate Pass on the fateful New Year's Eve that launches this grand adventure! Hope to game with you soon!-Tim</blockquote>
