[QUOTE="Jarval, post: 1312540, member: 421"] I'm running a D20 Modern game loosely based on the Alternity Dark*Matter setting. Unfortunately, the Christmas break has thinned the numbers of my players down to just three, so I'm in need of some fresh blood... Firstly, if you're not familiar with the setting, check out the [url=http://enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=47056]Exit 23[/url] adventure that we've just finished to see if it's for you. Then head over to the [url=http://enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=45621]character thread[/url] to see who's already in the game, and the kind of people your PC would be working with. And then take a look at the current adventure [url=http://enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=69450]The Beast Within[/url]. Still here? Still like what you see? Read on... [b]Character Creation rules:[/b] [list][*]3rd level. [*]32 point buy for ability scores. [*]Humans characters only. [*]Your starting Wealth score will be 5 + Occupation bonus + any feat or other bonuses. [*]Profession checks for Wealth gain at 2nd and 3rd levels are treated as if you'd rolled at 10. [*]Your character must work for the Hoffmann Institute in some capacity.[/list] In addition to these rules requirements, I'm going to need a couple more things from you. Firstly, I want dedicated players. I'd like to be looking at a post rate of once a day from the players, or once every two days as a minimum. This isn't to say that I'm going to kick you out of the game if you go on holiday or have RL problems, but it does mean that I'll get a bit peeved if you don't post when you're able. I'd also like a list of any PbP games you've played here on EN World or elsewhere, so I can get an idea of your role-playing style. Secondly, a decent background for your PC really helps the other players interact with your character. It doesn't have to be anything terribly detailed or interesting, but I'd like it if it gave some indication of your character's motives and general personality. Just stats and no history doesn't make a character, and is just plain lazy ;) Right, if after all of that you still want to play (you fools! :D) then feel free to post here. If I get interest from more than three people I'm going to have to make a choice about who to keep. I'll be basing my picking on background, followed by how well the character fits with the rest of the group. Anyone who doesn't make it in this time round will still be on a list of alternates should anyone drop out of the game. Thanks for reading this, and I look forwards to seeing your PCs :) [/QUOTE]
