That's not a problem about checking in once a day, or whatever. :) I understand people being busy. I still have room, so go ahead and make a char if you want.

As far as availability I can only commit to check in about once a day.

Have a quick question:
Do you consider the Regional Feat a free EXTRA feat for the character?
So that a human cleric would have one for first level, one for being human and a THIRD based on their home region?
EDIT: How do you feel about smoke-powder and Lantanese fire-arms?
I'm considering a pirate/mercenary from the Nelanther Isles... |

Aye, the regional feat is a free one everyone can take one of, on top of the normal feats. And I always included smoke powder weapons, so have at it. :)

| I haven't played in a PBP before but am aware of how they work. I also don't have an extensive amount of Realms knowledge (the Salvatore books are about it) but I would love to play. Let me know if this would be alright : ) |

It doesn't matter to me if you don't have a lot of realms knowledge. :) Sometimes, that's not so bad because it means I can surprise someone with something. Uh I'm still pondering if I want to do this via email or message boards, but I haven't decided yet because I still only have three char sheets. I can fit in one more, I think. If there's more who want to play, I can make two groups again. :)

Since Dalor asked, in a round about way, because he asked about hirelings, this is my thoughts on what I'd like to accomplish for this campaign. As I said, I planned on setting it in the Border Kingdoms (not sure which area of the Kingdoms yet, I need to dig out my book(s) and look them over, which I plan to do tonight or morrow).
Anyhow, I was pondering having you all set up a small keep, which could be your base of operations. From there, you could adventure from, make allies, find ways to expand the keep/make a settlement, etc. I was basically thinking back to 2e when PC's were able to have thieves halls, wizard schools, temples, fighter schools, etc. It would be your town/keep to build how you like and oversee. However, as I said, if some of you want to go adventure from there, then I'd make plots around that as well.
So, hirelings are fine and depending on what they do, maybe they could be craftsman, or whatever, that have settled around/in the keep. Just an idea though.
As for the year, most of the time I tend to stick to the 1360/1370's, but I'll figure out a specific year by the time the rest of the PC's are made. |

If you don't have it, check out the Kingmaker AP from Paizo. They've got rules in there for building a kingdom up from scratch. |

Or, if you want the cheap version - Book of the River Nations: Exploration and Kingdom Building collects all the rules from the Kingmaker AP relating to, well, exploration and kingdom building (the mass combat rules are collected elsewhere). |
There is a rumour going around that I have found god. I think is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.

My hope is that our "realm" might be on the coast! Since I was thinking of buying a ship!
Also...any possible chance I can persuade you to allow us to be 6th level for getting the Leadership feat?  |

Already planned on it being on the coast. :) And uh, if you want to take that feat before 6th level, that's fine. :)

Doubt I have the time to play, but if you prefer a custom Realm let me know - I can easily squeeze one in wherever you want.
And any other mapping goodness you may need, Kuje (like a hitherto 'unknown' forest, swamp, etc...), let me know - I happen to like that region a lot, and wouldn't mind playing with it.
I'm currently trapped in a barbarian wilderness (they call it Kentucky), but should be back home with my Photoshop in about two weeks. |

This sounds like a good scenario. I would like to join. If the group is full, please note me down as a potential alternate.
Seems like the group could start off familiar with each other if they are sharing responsibility for a keep. What variety of characters are already submitted (races, classes)? |

There's really not much out there on this area but the "best" book to read about this area, least as far as I've seen so far, is Power of Faerun. Uh, there's a few web articles that detail individual areas/cities/etc but the web articles were never completed. However, I think some of the old Polyhedron's also have info, but I don't think I have those issues.

Oh, no no no, it's not a 4e game. I have exactly no 4e material, so the mechanics are 3/3.5 rules or it's variants, within reason.

| I was wondering if I might be able to join in on this campaign. I have Pathfinder or I can dig out the good old 3.5 PHB if that is what you are running in. I've always been interested in playing in this region and I have a few concepts to work with if the group has too much of one class or type of character. My availability is once per day or every other day depending on what happens at work/home. |

Works for me, as I said a few times, even if I get a few more then four people, I can make two groups, etc. Uh, class wise, just play what you want, I'll make the campaign/group around that.

Been pondering starting a new campaign again.
