I'm going to start out with a little background. So, I've tried this campaign twice so far; the first time was my first time ever DMing and I feel like I rushed the players through things, gave them an idea of being overpowered (and the characters WERE overpowered), and overall I feel like it made for a game that went in a direction that not many people enjoyed. I attempted a reboot of the game and realized that I had not been clear on what I was looking for in a group, and because of that; I had decided to give it a nice long break, and revisit the idea of a campaign now that I've got a little experience under my belt, and talked to a few other GMs.

THE FALLEN THRONE
What is "The Fallen Throne"?
The Fallen Throne is a Pathfinder roleplay over the Fantasy Grounds II software and only the Fantasy Grounds II software, meaning that while Skype may be used for OOC connections (comments, questions, etc), there will be NO VoIP USED. The characters will be powerful, and the campaign is not combat oriented, and while there will be sessions full of combat, short of the party constantly out looking for a large-scale fight, they won't find it. (Note: I do try to include some small bit of combat per session, so the players can get their dice rolling and have fun, but it's not always something that is around the plot).
Where does "The Fallen Throne" take place?
The Fallen Throne takes place on the homebrew island of Aldiron, a country that is dwarfed by a supercontinent to the east, it is the last known Kingdom of Humans.
What kind of characters are allowed in "The Fallen Throne" Campaign?
I am rather open with this; I enjoy looking at various character concepts, and I try to do a prelude-style intro with each character to get to know them, and the person behind the character, I also feel that a one-on-one session allows the player to roleplay more, and therefore develop a deeper background. While there are some ideas I strictly say no on, it's more of a "as seen" basis, I don't like to say "no" to many ideas... but there are just some character ideas I cannot take seriously, and feel they wouldn't fit in the campaign.
What information should I know before I roll my character?
Two ways to create your character
- 20 Point buy with 9 being the lowest stat possible before racial
- roll 4d6 on server, drop lowest roll; you can either re-roll a 4d6 twice, or re-roll the entire set once.
Whichever way you choose you have to stick with it; you cannot go back if your rolls are bad, it's a risk-reward scenario.
Your character will start out with 1000 GP worth of equipment.
Your character will start at level 3, with max HP.
Your character cannot be in the evil or chaotic-neutral branch (exceptions may apply).
While this is homebrew, we will use forgotten realm deities.
The playtime(s):
Right now, Saturday nights are the best for me, and 6PM-10PM, 7PM-11PM or 8PM-12AM (All EST times) work best for me. I don't want to jump around schedules by doing alternate days or anything of that matter, as I would prefer the same night ever week.
The Story
Aldiron stands alone, a single beacon of faith left in a dark and decrepit world. The Southern Kingdoms lay in ruin, torn between civil war, and a fatal invasion from the Orc Horde. The elves hide in recluse, recovering from their various skirmishes and wars with the Orc Horde, the dwarves; as always - hide in their mountains, coveting their gold and riches.
The world is in peril as the Orc Horde has burned and pillaged their way through the Savage Lands, only being defeated by the stout dwarves in their mountains.
Where does your hero stand? Are they loyal to Lords, lands, personal wealth, or something else?
Your choices will help to shape the future of Aldiron and the world.
Anything else?
