Finding Players (Recruitment)Look for players for chatroom, play-by-post, or even real-life games here. Threads will expire after 3 months, so be sure to move important information to your OOC thread.
So this has been an idea that I have sort of been wanting to implement for a while: playing a game of Pathfinder in a setting similar to that of OotS (I.E. the characters are aware of all of the various gaming terms and abstractions). This could be in either a setting identical to that of OotS, or just a similar one.
I'd like to start at a mid-range level, but could start at either a high level or a low level.
I'd like to play a Bard specializing in Enchantments, but may alter this idea depending on the specifics of the setting.
So is there anyone who would want to DM this? And there need to be other players, clearly.
EDIT: Big 16

Re: [3.PF] Game in OotS-like setting? [DM and players wanted]
Oh, heck yes. In as a player, willing to fulfill most any class or party role. I might be interested in DMing for this too, but I think it would be considerably more fun to play in a campaign like this (although I am thinking of a few ways I could amuse myself as DM, too...)
Re: [3.PF] Game in OotS-like setting? [DM and players wanted]
OK, so that is 4 people (including myself) who would definitely want to play and one person who might want to either play or DM. I guess I will wait a while longer to see if anyone else volunteers to DM before asking delta639 to do so (thanks for half-volunteering, by the way).
Re: [3.PF] Game in OotS-like setting? [DM and players wanted]
So, we have 10 players interested (including myself) at this point, two of have said they would be willing to DM. I am going to wait another day to see if anyone else shows interest in DMing, but, failing that, delta639 or rorikdude12: are you still OK with DMing? Would either of you volunteer for the job if no one else does so within a day?

I will gladly do it, but did you see my conditions?
Yes, I did. I assume your condition does not count extenuating circumstances or other people's actions? (For example, if my internet went out and I found myself unable to post, or if someone else took a long time to go in combat and my turn came after theirs, am I correct in assuming that I would not be penalized?) I also assume that if players would be out of town without internet, all they would need to do to avoid eviction would be to simply give advance notice?

Those requirments seem a little to tight. I mean sometimes just general life which can't be predicted happens, such as having to work a long shift at work or your kids are doing something that you couldn't predict before. I think two or three days before being chucked out is fairer.
OK, so at this point I do not think anyone else is going to volunteer to DM.
Rorikdude12: Would you be willing to amend your requirements to kicked out after two days, barring extenuating circumstances and turn skipped in combat after one day?

"My master seeks parley with you. You will be granted safe passage into his abode and treated as guests, provided you do not instigate aggressive motions."
Um... was this supposed to go on a different thread?
Rolling scores. 3 questions, though: do we roll HD at first level, take the average, or use the maximum? Also, when you say the "SRD" in the Big 16, do you mean basically just core content, or everything released to the SRD ever? Finally, is it acceptable to re-fluff races as long as we keep the crunchy bits the same?

Roll HD at first level
When I say SRD, I mean everything except the Variant Rules and the psionics.
