The Campaign Builder's Guild

Yeah, I think a good rule to follow is to create a character and then throw him into the campaign. Creating a chararacter with thre game in mind is just going to hinder the creative process. (I keep a mental list of characters and their personalities for whenever I need a new one)

I'm interested in playing, but I would like to know first how often you're going to expect us to post (this IS a PbP right?).

Will we be playing on this site?

I assume psionics are out?

Thx,
Túrin

Yes, it's a PbP. Ishmayl hasn't made a forum for PbPs yet, so I'm keeping it in the DD until further notice.

Yes, psionics are out, sadly. I was considering using it, but it would create too many issues with what I have planned out for the party. In time you may encounter psionics (still undecided), in which case you can unlock the powers of your character's mind with the aid of another.

Oh, and a little advice: you are going to want a character who can move quickly, so I discourage that you go with a tank that isn't able to carry his arse any slower than 20 feet.

I would like to point out that you didn't answer my first (and primary) question, namely what rate of posting you will be expecting from your players.

Thanks for the answers. Advice duly noted. ;)

I think I can give this a try.  Are you going to start a new thread when you have a group of the appropriate size?

Yes, once character sheets are made ect. The age of soot game will be created for totally in character playing.

Turin: To quote the DM "Iâ,¬,,¢m looking for PCs who will be online a lot and are able to post frequently. While post size isnâ,¬,,¢t too big a deal, I prefer people who make posts long enough to cover all the details of what their character is doing."

I noticed that but I need a more specific answer. I think I will be able to make a post two or three times a week (one in the weekend, one on Tuesday and possibly Wednesday). Will that suffice?

Also, Raelifin, I mean this in the most non-offensive way possible but uhm... are you speaking with authority?

Haha, I can see your concern. I keep in close contact (read: he bugs be every three seconds) with Senkennomei and he can tell me if I step out of line. I was the one who suggested that he could start a game here instead of on the WotC forums that we both frequent. He seems to be following their format so I figured I'd elaborate for those who haven't done any PbP before.

That's alright then. So, any idea whether the frequency I mentioned would be enough?

3 or 4 times a week should be fine. I'm multitasking with another game and I don't frequent these boards as much as I do the WOTC ones, so that rate is perfect.

Fair enough. I'll try to work up a character next week. Anything you particularly want to know about the character in advance (besides stats and a short biography)?

Right now I think I'm going with a recent idea of mine of basing a character on Aristotelian philosophy, though that might change as I get into more detail.

What race would be good: I am narrowing down the tribal races based on what creatures all the PCs select.

Speaking of races, you don't have Killoren and Catfolk linked in the OP. What are they?

They are from Races of the Wild, and not available in the SRD.

Wixman: I hope you will go more in-depth with your character's physical description. A background and personality section would also be greatly appreciated. Just post what you would as if you were doing a submission on WOTC. While competition is very low (maybe even non-existant), it is easier on myself and the other players to formulate interactions with the information.
