Hello everyone,
usually I'm not one to do this as I prefer playing with close friends, but you know, everyone's life gets kind of busy and only having a couple players to attend each session ... D&D gets kind of ... slow to say the least.
SOOO! I have taken the 'initiative' and hopped onto these forums in search of able adventurers willing to join up with complete strangers and perhaps have everyone get to know one another and enjoy some good ol' D&D / PF.
We have a 7 player max limit (2-3 players already playing for the most part, 4 slots open) and 1 DM of course. It's going to be kind of a first come, first serve basis, but we do have "Prerequisites" that I will be going over shortly:
Our play style is VERY roleplay heavy, sometimes we could be in a tavern talking with the bar maid for 2 hours straight real time (rarely happens, but nevertheless, it could happen depending on the event). The DM and myself are both players who believe it is HIGHLY important to have character development, backstory and awesome interaction with those around them.
If your character is the type to LOVE gold with all his heart and we see a stash of gold deep in some temple, surrounded by traps, I expect you to run with all your might to that gold without even thinking once, "oh hey there's traps everywhere." This of course is just an example of some crazy RP-able character.
We don't take meta-gaming kindly, or power hungry players, but of course if it's all in RP, being a tyrant who seeks power to over throw his enemies is something that could work out in the end.
I understand most hardcore Pathfinders / D&Ders are well aware of monsters and items in the book and there's no avoiding that (I myself am one of them); so when it comes down to "planning your characters path to epicness", that's alright, as long as it's not your main focus; unless of course you're an inventor sort, then invent away and create magic gears for the team to abuse haha.
lastly and most importantly, I'll recap on the power hungry bit. We're not here to mix a TON of classes to make some 10,000 damage dealing brute (we usually just stick to Pathfinder SRD things only, no 3rd party). However, we are aware that some classes in Pathfinder really don't have "decent" PrC's to advance into so we accept a few 3.5 things with the DM's permission, 3.5 things only being classes, PrC's or items; not races / templates.
NOW!! as for the Game and joining... I won't give much away because we're looking for a dedicated bunch who love RPing and Pathfinder in general, so if what I spoke of totally gets your gears going, I'd love to see some posts ^_^ once we have "interviewed" a few haha, we'll move to the next process of getting you into the Facebook group and play times and the story in general. Every once in awhile we use vent, team speak or C3, but usually we'll just keep it text based.
Um, also as a side note, we are aware peoples lives should come before D&D and thus with jobs and what not, we don't have a static play time, Our DM tries his best to post on facebook when everyone is available so we can set up play times. And we won't NOT play if you're not available, but everyone else is. We usually put you on autopilot and he RPs you to the best of his ability based on what you gave him. This of course does have it's limit, max 2 players on auto pilot (as long as there's 3-4 players able to play, we'd be good to auto pilot the rest). We don't believe that people should just SHOW UP out of nowhere and get along with the party. If my character doesn't trust outsiders, you better have a damn good reason to want to join our party (we don't usually kick away players, but have a way of implementing them... through any means necessary :) haha).
Alright so as for the story...
My only hints on the campaign to give you are these:
Oceans (above and below), Ships, Treasures (fast exp and rewards), Artifacts and Wishes, Demons and other outsiders, and Inventions/Magic.
