New: Nightstalker (free, open-ended, email, human, fantasy, rpg) From: donotreply@pbm.com (PBM List Autoposter) Date: Sat, 01 Apr 2006 08:13:01 +0000 Name: Nightstalker Costs: FREE Email: adavis-pbem zat tampabay.rr.com Frequency: once per 1-2 weeks URL: http://web.tampabay.rr.com/davis/wanted.html Type: fantasy (D&D) Last-Update: 2006Mar27 Keywords: free, open-ended, email, human, fantasy, rpg Description: I am currently looking for 2-3 starting characters to play in my PBEM. I am using primarily 3rd edition AD&D for rules, but have developed my own world that is lacking a few more player characters. Everyone begins solo (should PCs find each other groups up to three may be formed � this allows the game to continue moving.) A little about my world: It would be considered a new world with no firm countries and boundaries, though some would say otherwise. There are kingdoms, and rulers and such, but much of the world is still very untamed. Entire kingdoms have been known to dissolve in a matter of years while other rulers have a firm grasp on a particular city. Adventure, wealth, danger and death is everywhere. All dreams are ready to be sought. 1. All standard classes, races, alignments are allowed (by 3rd ed. or 3.5) except Druids and elves. Others may be accepted, but probably not. 2. Magic users(primarily spell-caster though priests are sometimes included) are considered untrustworthy at best and immediate death at worst. There is a good deal of magic, but the mere mention of it is dangerous. 3. Tension between the races is very high. Most of the larger populated areas are human settlements. Dwarves are tolerated in busy markets and ports for their ore, woods and navigation ability. (Dwarves are the primary merchants for goods traveling via river or ocean.) 4. Any religion is allowed though some question the difference between priestly magic and spell-casting magic. To submit a player character please send a character with all statistics, feats, skills, and a detailed personal history to adavis-pbem zat tampabay.rr.com . Characters initial stats may add to no more than 75. (This may seem low, but I am interested in character development, not how many 18 stats a character has. I may award some initial stats based on detailed history.) As for the detailed history, I am looking for something interesting: reason for adventuring, goal for stealing, rationale for joining a militia group, sought knowledge, etc. The world is open for the adventure and ANYTHING you can think of seeking can be sought and perhaps found over time. (The only historical piece that I will probably change are town/city names, and appropriate starting materials (if any).) I will be taking characters until April 4th, but keep in mind I will only be taking 2-3 characters so make your stand out. Please send character html, pdf, word or inserted into the email. Other formats will be deleted. Once your character is accepted, I will require you to fill out a character sheet, explain starting items/gold amounts, as well as give you a more detailed explanation of the world at large. Should you have any questions email me at the above address. I may ask you to flesh out some information prior to starting or even accepting to get a better idea of what you are thinking about. Honest Warning: Unfortunately due to the nature of PBEM, the pace is rather slow and turn-over can be high. This PBEM has been around since the early 1990�s, though some years have been much better (about 18 online players actively involved, plus some table top) to the most current year of only 3 actively playing(PBEM, been a bad year Time to rebound.). I know that life gets in the way, and circumstances change in both your real-life and mine. The general pace is one move every 1-2 weeks (sometimes more, sometimes less depending on real-life and how quickly everyone involved replies). If you cannot honestly commit to this, please look elsewhere. [ This is a new entry for the PBM List.
