New players wanted for WotC Published Modules game

[Kahluah]

Ok, it seem's I have the DMing bug at the moment (yay for me). You know the WotC published modules? Yeah, well, I currently own a few of them, and am in the mood to run them back to back (yes, I -am- aware that could take a while, but hey, I'm willing if you guys are... ;)). Or, if not back to back, at least the first one or two.

I'm going to be running them in real life, and have decided to do them online, albeit at a slower pace.

If any of you roleplaying peoples out there would like to join, feel free to sign up. I'm looking for 4 people who are ready, willing and able to post at least once every couple of days. I need at least a simple background and description from you if you want to play this game. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me. I don't bite... hard.. :D

If more than 4 people express interest, then I take the first 4 applicants, and everyone else will be placed in a stand by list.

Note: this game is not to be confused with another one i am planning on running, but players from my other games may sign up.

Skills/Feats: Any WotC published material (exceptions made are FRCS, Dragon magazine, etc, as I don't own any of them)

Deities: PHB/Greyhawk Pantheon (if a portfolio of a god that you would like to worship is not found in the PHB pantheon [for example, you want to be a cleric to the god of luck and fate], then I am happy to search for possible deities to fit that portfolio, and email you with information.

Spells: PHB or Class Supplement (T&B, DotF, etc) spells allowed.

1st Favored Enemy: Goblinoids

Back ground: Rurik is a young dwarf that wishes to follow his fathers footsteps as the clans caver but to do so he must venture out into the human lands and both learn the ways of other races and make a name for himself with acts of selflessness and bravery. Rurik stands a scant 4' 4" tall with black hair streaked with silver. His beard is a little short which hints at his youth and his eyes still have the sparkle of a boy in them seeing the world for the first time. Only when he has his weapons drawn does the youthful appearance wain. To watch him practice the forms its odviouse that his training with his father has given him the skills to thrive in the hostile world.

I would like to play him into a "King of the Mountains" PRC. Let me know if he is Ok.

[TheDruid20]

I would be intrested in playing. A Psion if you do away with tht crap psi combat stuff. Seen several adaptations to get rid of it. One is even WoTC approved.. or soon will be. Otherwise sorccer would be fun.

[Kahluah]

Cybermage: looks good, I don't yet have MotW (will get it as soon as it's in store over here in perth, as I already have paid half of it.) but your character looks fine by me with a first glance.

thedruid: I won't be using psionics, as I don't like the look of them just yet. I know there are a few adaptations, but I still don't feel like using them just yet. so a sorcerer (not a soccer..;)) would work good.

[TheDruid20]

Yes I know I spelled it wrong.. I remeber doing it and wanted to go back and fix it but I got distracted....

[Kahluah]

Not a problem .... :)

anyways, thedruid, if ya wanna cre3ate your character, feel free to do so. If you are going to aim for a particular PrC let me know and we'll see what we can do for you.

[TheDruid20]

2 thoughts half orc half dragon to sorcerer. ECL is off. Seen many fixes if your willin to consier me starting classless. Otherwise a halforf sorcerer shooting for the dragon acyolte PrC He is the rerally dumb but good hearted time with lots of muscles. Think it will take almost every skill point he gets just to qualify for the PrC.

[Kahluah]

Nah ... i'd prefer no templates or anything ... the half-orc sorcerer going to Dragon Disciple is fine by me though. :)

[TheCrookedPath]

Alright....let's see, now.

He bears no weapon but his walking staff, and this only jewelry is the wooden disc strung about his neck, by a length of cord. The disc crudely depicts the hoizon....

[Kahluah]

CP ... the character looks great ... welcome aboard .... :)

[Kahluah]

Ok, we now have three characters ready for the game.

A dwarven ranger, aiming for the King of the Mountain PrC
A human cleric of Fharlanghn, not sure if there'll be a PrC aim on this one.
A half-orc barbarian, going into sorcerer multiclass and going for Dragon Disciple PrC.

We're still looking for a 4th player if anyone is interested. Read the guidelines above, and it is first in first served.

[UrbanRangerX]

Give me a couple hours to come up with specifics, but I think an elven bard might round out the party quite nicely. Possibly working towards an arcane trickster or a mindbender prestige class.

Like I said, give me a little bit of time to focus my thoughts into a character, but I wanted to get my name in the hat ASAP.

Thanks,
URX

[Kahluah]

Not a problem ... all is well that ends well.. you'll be the fourth member of our little heroic group if you get your character in in time... arcane trickster or mindbender looks good to me, the AT possibly a little more so (unsure yet, we'll see how we go with the course of the game), but I think both of them have their place at the moment ... :)

when you get your character to me, i'll email or private message you all with the starting gun post... :)

He agreed, and was accepted into the order with the branding of the Fire Falcon symbol on his shoulder. He is currently out adventuring, to learn more about the world he lives in, so he can learn of oppressive governments and gain allies, both through friendship and coercion.

aiming towards theif-acrobat PrC in Song and Silence.

[Kahluah]

magfrump and cmr_scorpio ... we have four in the group, but am currently considering allowing a fifth into it. I am not sure whether I will or not :/ :/ *sighs and wonders why his games always have to be so damned popular*

[Kahluah]

Ok, I have decided to allow a 5th character into it, as the rogue could well come in very handy.

The person i've chosen to take this role is magfrump, merely because he has sent in a character already.

However, as is my policy, cmr_scorpio, you are first entried on my standby list if any current members needs to drop out of the current game. This means that I will contact you first, either via email or through the vBulletin PM system, before looking externally for new players.

I'm sorry if thi seems like small consolation, but I have to decide and all that. :\

Could the five who are going to play please check out the Paths to Heroism forum asap. There is a link at the bottom of this message for easy access.

Thanks for all the response, and now let the games begin.
