[4e] New to PBP? Can't find a game? (Recruitment on hold)

[Keia]

I'm in two 4e pbp's but would be interested. I'd happily step aside for any newcomers though.

Okay, that's enough folks to work with for now. I've put a hold on recruiting.

I'll update the OP in a bit.

@garyh, I didn't check, but are you currently in some games (not counting anything you're running)?

One thing to point out to newcomers is the Living Worlds. The first is a community developed campaign setting, the second is 4e in Eberron. Both are always taking new players, drop by the areas if you are looking for more info.

Hey! Don't poach my players!

Actually, I was looking at DMing at L4W the other day.

On Character Creation
Character creation rules are TBD depending on what the players want to play (outdoors, dungeon romp, 1st level starts, etc).

My preference is to have a small town home base, clean up the local problems at low level, then start traveling further (i.e. exploration scenarios) on route to dungeon settings. I especially like really nasty evil BBEG dungeon settings (i.e. it doesn't have to be a dungeon, it could be anything, just the home location of the BBEG) where the entire goal is to stop the BBEG before he can do x, y, or z. And I prefer BBEGs to typically be extremely intelligent and capable where we have to sometimes overcome more obstacles to defeat them than just wading in with swords drawn. Their goal should be to kill the PCs and that cannot be accomplished by having 5 NPCs in 10 rooms each where the PCs fight them 5 on 5 in each room.

I also prefer to build up the home base as opposed to moving to other areas permanently since it allows for long term RPing opportunities with a group of locals.

XX I have been through PbP recruitment and have gotten selected. - back in the day . . . pretty dry recently

I'm sure that setting would offer a lot for your world-building creativity.

The Past
-- I have never played in a PbP game - I suppose we all have to start somewhere.

-- I have never been through PbP recruitment - I've been waiting for the right one to pop up and this seems to be the one.

The Present
-- I am not currently in a PbP game - see above.

I went ahead and made some selections noted in the OP. I think it might have been premature, so I'll wait until everyone has answered 'HOW NEW ARE YOU?' before finalizing the list 100%.

Keia and garyh, you're my alternates, but I'd like you to participate in character creation and campaign building so that in the event you need to step in, you'll be up to speed.
