About a week ago I started reading the IC thread for this game, because a) I'd never played by post before and thought I'd look over some virtual shoulders for a while to see if it was something I wanted to get involved with, and b) that thread was at the top of the page. I started following along in the OOC thread a few days later, trying to read roughly chronologically. I was probably three quarters of the way to the present, very impressed with the game, and getting pretty excited about looking for a PbP game to play in, when I happened to look at the OOC thread's title and notice the bit about recruiting.
So if you're willing to consider someone relatively inexperienced, I can offer you a player who's enthusiastic and familiar with the game so far. I have a couple of ideas how a new character might connect to the party.
One is another barbarian sailor, essentially a Viking. Tall, blond, carries a big axe, and has served as crew/muscle on dozens of ships out of Sasserine, legitimate and otherwise. He crewed with Chongo and got along well with him, and knows Col, at least by reputation, from his pre-madness days. He hears that they're getting mixed up with Vanthus, and looks for Chongo to warn an old shipmate that Vanthus isn't very nice.
Another idea is a fighter who is another aspirant to the Horns, who met and was impressed by Chongo there. He was friends with and had a bit of a crush on Brissa Santos, and now that she's disappeared he has some hard questions for Vanthus. When he hears that Chongo has been looking for Vanthus, he thinks maybe they have something in common.
Whether your answer's yea or nay, I intend to follow the game for a while; it's been educational as well as interesting so far.
