Lets try and keep a lively OOC thread, it breeds an active IC thread. So, even if you have nothing to post IC, lets us know OOC, and check in daily if possible.
I selected colors based upon the roles we are doing and for readability, if any of you don't like them, we'll move them around.
Couple of IC posting guidelines.
Keep all OOC information in spoilers or in the OOC thread.
Keep all rolls and mechanical details in a spoiler.
Describe your intent, then edit the details if need be or wait for me to give you the results.
Please don't delete posts, simply spoiler and Strike-through the unneeded text.
I will usually roll initiatives and reactive rolls. For things such as stealth, I will be rolling them privately and informing you of the result. Knowing you rolled a "2" and changing your actions accordingly is less fun, I'll give you descriptions like, "as you take a step, a faint clack of stone can be heard" to indicate a less than desirable Move Silently, etc.
Please try and keep metagaming to a reasonable level.
Please "Speak like this"
and Think Like this.
For Reference, Original "16"
Spoiler
3.5(Zman's 3.5 Overhaul Varient)
~3 Players + DMPC
PbP
Level 1(Possibly Higher)
Humanoid Races(Ask for non-core races please)
Average VP
Soft Alignment(Please no Chaotic Stupid or Lawful Anal)
Roll using the Forum, I will roll most passive checks.
Ask for any Homebrew, as this is using variant rules Homebrew will be addressed Accordingly
Skirt Background
Healthy dose of H&S, RP, and Puzzles/Intrigue
Run most choices buy me, but just about everything from the Compete Series, Unearthed Arcana, Spell Compendium. Ask about other sources. I reserve the Right to veto anything so run by any combinations ahead of time.
Edit: Please only apply if you are willing to post frequently(2+ posts per day, ~5-6 days per week) and are willing to commit to a long term game. Moderate to High quality posting(Grammer, Length, Imagination, etc), courteous play, and the willing to cooperate to have fun are also great qualities to have if you apply.
Edit2:. Also, since I'm using this game as a tested for my overhaul, some things may be subject to change, especially if they aren't working. If you have suggestions, I'm open to hearing them. Have an idea for an Alternate Class Feature? Let me know, etc.
*breathes deep*
Ahhh, the alluring scent of a brand new OOC thread. So full of promise and that vaunted sense of pending insanity and glory. I have missed thee fair lady.

i wrote this! take a look at what I've created.
Im currently playing; Veltar Dwarf Ranger in Heroes for Hire.
Heroes for hire... Definitely A-Team. I hope I get to be B.A. Baracus! "I pity the foo who touch Karnack's Giant axe!"
It's not a true Ateam, but will start out as basic mercenary work with many avenues for choosing your destiny from their, from grand adventure, to treasure hunting, to glorified mercenary work. Prty will get to choose, I merely set the stage and let you guys shape the adventure and campaign.
Well with only one truly good character, who for the most part won't be making decisions, it'll be interesting to see which path we take. I'm looking forward to swinging a giant axe and asking questions later. I don't see this group "thinking" their way out of too many situations. Not to imply we couldn't just doesn't seem to be what we're inclined to do.
Edit
Failed at reading and somehow missed the other good aligned character.. darn

Yes. Yes it does, and speaking of fun I know its last minute but I was thinking of dropping power attack for monkey grip and spending the extra 20 gp to buy a Large Great Axe but I wanted to run it by you first Zman.

And yeah, depending on how things go with my char, I might take MG too, nothing like a Large Battleaxe in one hand and a Medium one in the other!
Any other questions, concerns, or bellyaches? Lets finalize the sheets.
I'll do my best to put up an opening scene and IC thread tonight. Think of it as a bit of time to work into character.
Not right now, I was planning on saving all bellyaches until about 135 posts into IC and then springing them on everyone. Keeps it a little more lively that way.

Well I was thinking 142 but there's no way I'm getting trumped by someone else. So I'm gonna shoot for 99. Oh and I'm gonna want to rewrite my entire character as a happy go lucky gnome bard.
The basics start will be Ian and Gorsomm, odd acquaintances who've traveled together for a short time, will be looking to form a company. They'll end up brining on Veltar as an expert tracker and expert on Goblins, they'll bring on Tryst as a Chirurgeon, and will bring on Karnak to sacrifice to the Ogre while the rest cut him down.
Hey, it seemed a fitting rational for Karnak's presence. And of course it's a joke, the Barbarian is always bait.

Nope, everyone has made their way to this spot separately, except for Ian Nd Gorsomm. Unless, any of the other two want to be linked back stories. This is where you guys get to RP and get a feel for your character outside of the mechanics.
I'll probably be ready to post in 1.5-2 hours, won't be able to get on the good computer until 45 mins from now, and I really hate this damned netbook, so I don't do anything writing-intensive (or even viewing-intensive, stupid tiny screen) on it.

I understand, have to do a lot of my posting from my IPad, hence the occasional typos.
Neat, doing a fairly complicated sheet review for my game, then I'll bop over here. Just wanted the maps to figure out my travel route and keep working a bit on my backstory fluff.
A. The reference to Brand's brigands is from my newly updated background. B. being up for work at 5 am does have its drawbacks, mainly crashing around 9 pm. And C. Tonight and every tuesday from like 4 - 10 ish I have a game irl do I'm sure you'll understand the respect I give my gm during that time by not posting during that time if need be go ahead and Barbarian Bot your way out of the situation Zman, I trust your judgement on where to best place my axe.
