[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 1616125, member: 1210"] If you've read my story hours, you might have a lil idea of what to expect. I'm going to be running a PBP involving one of the players imc who is no longer able to attend our regular sessions due to having a baby any day now. This, obviously, is the recruiting thread. As this will be my first PBP, I'll be feeling my way through it as I go, but it should be fun! So far our players are: Angel of Adventure Tallarn I plan on a total of about 6 pcs. As this is a PBP, I anticipate more rp and less combat that my 'typical' game. [b]Who You'll Be[/b] You'll be a 13th-level (or ECL 13) character. Though Lester is an established, epic-level pc, there just aren't that many more creatures near his magnitude out there (and all of them are either established npcs or pcs). If you want to use anything from anywhere but the PH, let me know and I'll let you know whether it's okay. I'll assign equipment to you, so don't worry about that (and don't build a concept that relies on specific equipment). Use the standard, '4d6- drop lowest' method of character creation; we'll have a Rogues' Gallery thread for the pcs after I've recruited the players, but for now let's discuss any unusual things you would like to play or do. Just to get it out of the way, you won't be able to play a drow or half-dragon for campaign reasons. Oh, and please be able to post to the game thread often once it gets going- preferably at least daily. You [i]may[/i] want to be Chaotic. [b]The World[/b] The world is Cydra, a vast ocean filled with islands and continents. Your adventures will be starting in the mountains on a continent that is mostly uninhabited, though with your levels and Lester's cohort, you'll be able to travel lots very easily (teleportation, etc). We'll work on backgrounds for each of your pcs. I have a Yahoo group called Cydra with tons of feats, spells, prcs, etc. from the campaign. Unfortunately, I do [i]not[/i] have a map online anywhere, nor do I own a scanner. :( So I need to put that on the 'to do' list, but for now we'll have to settle for verbal description and stuff. [b]What You'll Be Doing[/b] As high-level characters, you'll have a lot of freedom of choice. However, you'll have a few initial threads to choose from. As I said, I haven't run a pbp before, but as it looks like combat takes [i]forever,[/i] I think I'm going to try to slant it more towards roleplaying. Of course, that doesn't mean there won't be combat, just that I fear a single battle taking four months to play out. All right, time to post this and see what happens! :D [/QUOTE]
