@NatOne although I would be open to try to fit your suggested background into the story it would be rather troublesome. I would prefer you to pick a background that could fit this:
Quote:
Your parents are probably not extra rich, but important figures: clan leader/town major/organisation leader/etc. Your godmother and old friend to your parents is a retired adventurer, Archmage who visits your home and propose to teleport you to Port Nyanzaru
that assumes your parts are alive and well aware of your travel.

Oh. I see now. That was an reply in the thread. I missed that part as being something general. I thought it was for Rune specifically being from another noble background. Sorry about that. My original thought was that she would have fled to Chult.

If dead parents prove to be a problem, I would like to propose another idea:


In which case I would go for another character concept.

This time the Entertainer Background. She is a bard. A dancer and violin player. Playing her music in taverns and inns for a few copper coins.
She heard lots of stories from adventurers, even those coming from Chult. Stories of a city full of riches and entertainment.
A combination which made her not copper or silver but gold. Dreaming of playing her music for the merchants in Port Nyanzaru was a dream of gold. She would go there, play music, become famous and become rich.

I'm undecided if I'm going Arcane Trixter rouge or Cleric, but I'll restrain myself until I'm in the game.

@NatOne cool, you have proved you are ready to work on your background that's all I need this far.
@runekyndig sure! I expect class/race choice to be done in session 0.

Don't know why people keep posting their choices in this thread :) . Well actually I don't mind knowing what race is everyone willing to play, I can assure I am totally ignoring class choices I see in this thread.

I am interested! My character is an aasimar protector paladin, her name is Christine. Acolyte background. Neutral good

God---> Tyr : Lord of Justice

Personality
Trait : I have spent so long in the temple that I have little practical experience dealing with people in the outside world.

Ideal : Aspiration. I seek to prove myself worthy of my god’s favor by matching my actions against ther teachings.
Ideal : I always try to help those in need, no matter what the personal cost.

Bond : I will do anything to protect the temple or establish a temple to Tyr where I am.
Bond : I owe my life to my mentor who took me in when my parents died.

Flaw : My piety sometimes leads me to blindly trust those that profess faith in my god.

I have an idea to use the Feylost background, having wandered away from my parents on a camping trip at 4 years old, I stumbled into a temporary portal to the Feywild, having been lured there by an evil hag who wished to eat me. Saved by a benevolent fey, I was raised there until stumbling back through another portal. I have heard that in the deepest parts of Chult there may be a portal back home to the Feywild.

EST zone and can definitely commit to 6 posts a week

After consulting more experienced PBP DMs I decided to cut number of players to get invited to 7.
So you have approx 30 hours more to submit applications. I will take the valid ones (they are more than 7 already) and choose 7 (mostly randomly). Will send invites by end of Monday GMT+0.

I would like a try a Dwarf Cleric of Moradin. Currently working with the Guild of Weaponsmiths in Waterdeep, but is looking to travel throughout the realms and expand his smithing knowledge.

Hi Greyword, I need to withdraw myself from consideration. I have been accepted into another game and that's as much as I can handle for right now. Thank you and good luck everyone!
Mar 28, 2022 2:35 pm
Thanks everyone for your interest, thanks ForcedImmortal for your update.
I will invites to:
@balgan144 @Dramasailor @GeneCortess @Boop @NatOne @runekyndig @Tasrek

Unfortunately I can only support 7 players at the moment, so I’m putting
@C1NDER @GeneralET @millyk @therecusant
on a waitlist. It means if players will drop or will not be able to maintain game peace you will have priority during replacement recruitment.

DM, please remove me from the waitlist, I’m going to accept a position in a different game

Thanks

We have an open slot due to player dropout. Priority is for players applied previously.
@C1NDER @GeneralET @millyk
But anyone could apply by finding application requirements in the beginning of this thread (and game rules in the game description). Even if you are not picked right now I will put you on wait list and we may have another person dropping at any time... life tend to happen to players.

P.S. You will be joining by the end of chapter 1 which is intro chapter. Just before the first jungle expedition.

Forgot to add deadline: 72 hours (3 days) from this post timestamp.
Apr 17, 2022 3:33 pm
Since none of the priority players show interest this it turning into first come first served recruitment.
Apr 17, 2022 5:01 pm
I would like to apply for this game. My first idea for a background is to play an anthropologist who is writing a treatise on Chultan culture; she'll be a bookish type so probably a wizard, although I'm not certain about that yet.

I will be able to manage posting at least once a day, as I have a pretty free schedule. My time zone is GMT -4.
