Hey guys, so I'm starting up a Pathfinder campaign in a homebrewed world. I need 4 players, preferably newbies as I'm a bit of a newer GM myself. I've only run one in-person campaign, so I have some experience but overall I'm still pretty green. I'm in the MST time zone, and I'm looking to run my campaign on Thursdays from 5 p.m. to whenever (I am somewhat flexible...6 or 7 should be fine too). Thursday is ideal for me but if that doesn't work for you just let me know what does work and we'll see if we can figure something out. As for my setting, in a nutshell I suppose you could almost consider it a post-apocalyptic fantasy with sci-fi elements. Here's a proper summary: "Belorin is the world in which Invasion of the Onyx takes place. About a year ago, a hail of small meteorites fell from the sky, all over the world. At first, the world was fascinated by this - some saw it as an evil omen, others as a gift - for the meteorites contained strange cerulean fluid, along with a purple mineral the world came to call "Etherite", since it came from the heavens. The fluid came to be known as Star Blood. At about the same time, a plague that would come to be known as the "Red Fever" spread across the world. No conventional healing methods seemed to work, not even powerful divine magic. However, one thing did seem to neutralize the disease: Star Blood. Red Fever seemed to actually be cured by drinking the fluid. In fact, it was a miracle cure! Within moments of drinking, the person who drank it seemed to be cured of all trace of the disease and was protected against it indefinitely. There was an uproar. Everyone wanted to get some star blood - but the meteorites were scattered, and small: about the size of a basketball. Parties wandered the world seeking it, and sold it for outrageous prices to those infected, mostly nobles and the bourgeois. Star Blood became the most valuable commodity in all of Belorin. Millions died. All in all, about half of the world's population died from red fever. Today, the world is in a sorry state from the double assault of the meteorite shower and the red fever. Villages and towns lay in ruins, or abandoned. Warring factions have formed, surviving by sheer strength and cruelty. And not only that, but a terrible new threat has arisen from the settling dust, threatening the already broken world. But there may yet still be hope..." Without giving too much away, suffice to say that the party will be formed when the adventure begins - all I ask is that you, as players, allow your character to go along with it. That aside, I am only restricting Chaotic Evil as an alignment. I'm also restricting IPC (In-party combat) since it just never ends well. Characters start at level 1 with an 18-point buy (15 seems too low and 20 too high IMO) and standard character creation rules, and you may have 2 traits. All Paizo-approved races from ( <a href="http://www.d20PFSRD.com" rel="nofollow">www.d20PFSRD.com</a> ) are allowed, given that they have an RP score of 10 or below, which only excludes a few. Here's a good site for character creation if you want to use it: <a href="http://venturecaptain.com/Character.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://venturecaptain.com/Character.aspx</a> If you'd like a more involved backstory, I can give you some general information about the various regions around the world and we can go from there. I tend to play it loose with rewards and experience. Basically, the party levels up when it feels right. Probably once every 2 or 3 sessions. Thanks, and I hope to hear from you! P.S., If you're wondering why I deleted my post yesterday and reposted it today it's because I figured I would change my rule about doing text-only roleplay. I think that may have turned off some people. But if you guys would prefer that, please say so in your message to me! I'm honestly down with doing it either way. Thanks. UPDATE!: If you're looking to create a character and want to flesh out a more detailed backstory for your character, feel free to use the following information: Here is a world map: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/Rn3mFqT.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/Rn3mFqT.jpg</a> Seafaring lines are in black, and populated cities are circled in black. And here is a detailed rundown of all the various regions of Belorin and information your character would know about them. It's very long and detailed - sorry about that. But if you want to create a more detailed character, it's essential. It mostly corresponds with the above map. <a href="http://pastebin.com/ZpAXXX2x" rel="nofollow">http://pastebin.com/ZpAXXX2x</a>
