I'm planning on starting a new play by post game sometime next week. It will be based on the Realms module "Ruins of Adventure", the pen-and-paper companion to the early PC game Pool of Radiance.
This game is for those who are not currently playing in my other adventure "The Search for Randal Morn". Sorry.
The starting level is 1. I would like to run this as a 2nd edition game. All rule books from that edition are welcome. Looking for at least one human player. Please post here a character proposal ( name, class, background.) Do not start working on a character sheet yet.
Thanks! |

No worries Barshevy. I hope and pray things get better for you soon. Until then, take care. |

Hi guys, things are somewhat dark for me these days. I have the energy to play, but not to DM. I'm so very sorry for letting you down. I'll have to put this game on indefinite hold.
Thank you for taking the time to create these characters. Again, I'm very sorry. |

Just wanted to chime in and state that I will wait until this project is ready to get off the ground. I understand things in RL are holding it up, and that is just the way life goes. So, Barshevy, once you have the time, I will definitely be here to play. I will continue to check in and see how this thread and others are going. |

I too am beginning to fear that the dreaded RL monster (which exceeds a dozen tarrasques in its power to destroy the best laid plans), is hard on the heels of our erstwhile DM. |

Have things gone dead with this game? |

No worries Barshevy, I am looking forward to it, but do not stress yourself getting it started. |

Sorry for the continued delay, this time due more to work than to unrationed play. I am hoping I can get things together for a Saturday start. |

Hello all! Back from my trip and ready to play, once play begins. Looking forward to seeing this get off the ground! |

What's the next step? |

OOC: Actually a ranger would fit in better. I'll explain via PM. Welcome aboard (again.) |

I suppose that'd be fine, although I was kind of hoping to whip up a paladin as it would seem a better addition to the group than another ranger. But I can play Bregan as well, just let me know. |
| Barshevy |

I'd like to have you use Bregan Redwind. I should have mentioned that this would be a transfer from the Pool of Radiance game. Are you still interested? |
| Cardoc |

Count me in. Did you have a character in mind for me to play, or should I whip something up real quick? I could have something ready to go by tomorrow evening. Also, if the current players feel strongly against adding a new member I'd be okay with that. I don't want to make waves, but would be happy to join in the fun. |

Can I have an affirmative answer soon? The party is about to leave an area that I could introduce your PC. |

I may be interested in joining the Randal Morn campaign. I've been following it from the beginning so there would be no need to bring me up to speed. |
| Barshevy |

Also, regarding the Randal Morn game, looks like all players are staying. But I'll keep an extra slot open if any Pools gamers are getting tired of waiting (sorry guys :( )

Barshevy,
I think I will run an Elven Ranger CG |

BTW folks, there seems to be an opening in the Randal Morn adventure next door. Would anyone here like fill it? |

No problem, Gray. I hope you will have time in the future to join us in our adventures. |

Sorry everyone on the post
But with times how they are, I had to take a second job cooking in the evenings. So I am working from 6:30 A.M. till 11:00 P.M. to support my wife and two young children. Sorry about this, but I must bow out of the game for now. Hopefully main job improves and I am allowed the much needed over-time and can quit second job till then I apologize again. I didn't mean to be a waste of the D.M.'s time
Sorry all

No worries Barshevy. I think we can all wait for when you will be ready. Just wanted to let everyone know that I will be out of town and computer usage from June 7-14. So I will be unable to post or read posts during that time. |

Sorry for the delay getting the adventure started. It's been busy, IRL, and I have perhaps too many games I'm participating as a PC as well. |

Final character is posted, please see my post above for full details.
Note I have added equipment, and a few proficiencies and a priest spell as allowed per being a follower of Mielikki. I tried not to take too much advantage of the bonuses given by Mielikki, but took what I thought made sense given my character's background, which I hope to post soon.
Apologies on the delay in getting this done, I have been in the process of buying my first home over the past few weeks and its really been eating into my time.
Can't wait to get the adventure started! |

Whoops! Now THAT could be a question for Ed ! |

Thanks, but Bregan is a ranger and hence just a follower of Meilikki. I don't thing any specialty priest bonuses would apply, but please correct me if I'm wrong.
EDIT: Actually, upon reviewing the link I may just take advantage of this after all, at least partially.
Yep, as you no doubt noticed when you reviewed the link, rangers ARE considered specialty priests of Mielikki. Of course, that isn't to say that you have to follow that example but it is there if you like it. I think it provides some bonus proficiencies but nothing too crazy. |

Here is a link to the Mielikki write-up from Faiths & Avatars that I found by doing a bit of google searching.
