I'm new to PbP, but I'll give it a shot.

First, I'm going to follow Rael's lead on a lot of things when it comes to setup. 32-point buy, et al.
Here's a link that might be helpful: http://invisiblecastle.com/help.py?p=buy

I appreciate as much core material as possible, but I am willing to work with players to accomodate them Check out my gaming philosophy over at http://www.freewebs.com/red_valor/introduction.htm.

The setting is the world of Red Valor, and I'll likely be using a published adventure or two. I don't know if this will be an extended campaign or not, and it really depends on how much I enjoy PbP.

I would appreciate all characters to be submitted in the sheet format found at the top of this forum. Also, please contact me with any questions about material you wish to use or about any other aspect of character creation.

I will also provide accepted characters with additional regional languages. Characters should be 1st level.

The starting campaign date will be the 45th day of Bremvian(spring) of the year 1254. I typically require backstories for characters, and I'm very willing to help with one. I'm the living encyclopedia of the RV world, so take advantage of my knowledge!

EDIT: As a note, I'm thinking the first actual game date, depending on the number of submissions, will be the 11th. The time will depend on player availability.

/me does the happy dance!

Thank you ElDo!  I'll get out my books right away.  Do you have aim so I can iron out a character/backstory with you?

Yes I do, and my sn is in my profile. I don't know how much I'll be on today, but I'll do my best.

I'm thinking about playing, but one question is: How often are we expected to post to play? Once a day? one session a week?

Sorry I missed the question earlier. We're probably looking at once a week, mostly on Tuesdays. Occasional bonus sessions may be called, and cancellations would happen only in extreme cases.

Wicked!
I'd totally play in this if it's cool with you.
Will start to work out a character and then post when i got something.
On a problematic note, the link to you site says "freewebs page not found". Nevermind, it's working now.

huzzah! :hooray:

On second look, i see someone has already taken my first plan (what are the odds on 2 halfling druids?), but i'll think of a new one soon enough.

Just wondering what you guys plan to use so any gaps can be filled (like do we have a cleric?)

Also what non-core stuff is allowed? Psionics? Savage Species monster progressions? (i hope so)

cheers y'all :buds:

I was going to post a druid but Senke beat me to it. :fencing:

 I'm going to go with a Fighter or Paladin from the Vestin rebelion. This is why I wanted to know whether we are starting before or after the Second Clockwork attack

Hmm...since my character got the thumbs up from ElDo I'll assume we are doing a 600 gp buy...? If not, please let me know so I can change this number around :)

EDIT: I don't know why, but I forgot to give my druid leather armor...

I've taken the scout role, just so everyone knows...  I'll get stats up as soon as possible, but I'm busy tonight.

Non-core stuff is fine for the most part, I'd just ask that you check it with me personally, either through AIM, Yahoo Instant Messenger, e-mail, or a PM. I'm very well-networked. ;)
