I'll add in that currently, nearly everyone who has expressed interest is going mage of some sort. Since there's only four slots available, party roles will be important.

Bio
Hey all, JB here.
I'm a DM for a large number of games here on RPG, as well as a player in several others. Many of the games I run are overly complex, or they involve Dungeons and Dragons (which is also overly complex!).
I work 40+ hours a week, and am the proud father of two tiny terrors named Chibi and Chibette and married to my beautiful Wifey. As such, I am quite busy more often than not. I typically write 2-5 paragraphs per reply and try to maintain an excellent level of grammar. If you noticed me glancing at your profile, I probably was looking to see if you would be a good match for my RPing style. Even if I didn't send a PM to you, feel free to send one back!
I enjoy 1x1 RPs and small groups. I'm fond of medieval, steampunk, and futuristic settings, and I'll jump into romance, adventure, and slice of life RPs fairly quickly, although supernatural (vampires, werewolves, etc) RPs get old for me pretty quickly. If you're looking for an RP partner and I've glanced at your profile, then I'm most likely willing to give it a shot, but decided against PMing you because I'm actually kinda shy. But I'm always looking for a new friend!
Please feel free to say hi at any time!

3rd Party content can get a bit beyond what I'm willing to try for PF. The base content is varied enough (LOTS of content). It also lets me avoid things like most psionic features.
Hey all~
So, if you know me, you know I've run (and am currently running) several D&D 5e games. However, I've never tried my hand at DMing a Pathfinder game. PF is probably too complicated for me to wrap my head around every tiny nuance in a live game, but I am relatively certain with a bit of practice, I could at least handle PbP Pathfinder. And so, I come to you.
I am planning to run a handful of Pathfinder modules. These modules are essentially for me to learn how to DM Pathfinder, and as such, might not be the best fit for a player who is brand new to Pathfinder. I do have some experience playing the system, so I'm not a complete noob, but I may be asking for input from my players on certain situations where I am unsure.
Which leads me to the next point: Players. I am looking for no more than four PCs to join. This game will NOT be first-come, first-served. Players will start at level four. All Paizo content is accepted, provided you can send me a link (I don't have a book, so no page numbers) from either Paizo or D20 PF SRD - but no third party content is allowed (I will make exceptions on a case-by-case basis for Favored Class options ONLY). We will use a 20 point buy. Races are allowed up to a maximum of 12 RP. We will be using two Traits with the option of taking one Drawback for an extra Trait (standard rules apply - can only take one from any particular trait type). If there is an Unchained version of a class, use that instead of the base (we will work out issues with archetypes as needed). Unchained skills are reserved only for Rogues (and any class that can unlock unchained skills like the Rogue can). Emerging Guns rules, but no Mythic content, Leadership feat, or Sacred Geometry. Non-evil alignments only. We will have medium experience advancement and standard PC wealth (9000 XP and 6000 gp at lvl 4). Myth-weavers has a fairly decent Pathfinder character sheet, but let me know if you know of any better ones that have more space.
I will be looking at the proposed characters and accept four based on the following criteria:
A) Variety. I want characters that are unique. I don't want characters that are overly optimized or prepackaged. Grab an archetype. Cross class or plan for prestige classes. Find interesting feats. Do something more than the norm. I want to be slightly challenged (but I don't want something completely out of left field... A cleric with 5 WIS won't help anyone). However, I will also be looking to fill specific roles... you won't last long without any healing, after all.
B) Experience. I will be drawing on my players for knowledge I don't have yet. This isn't to say I will outright reject newbies. In fact, having a person who is new would help me teach the system to someone, thus helping me learn it better. But I don't really want to have to teach people what a d20 is, and I would expect any newcomer to do the basic research on the system themselves (learning CMB/CMD, Saves, Action economy, etc).
C) Patience. Like I said, I'm new at DMing Pathfinder. I almost definitely will make mistakes. Hold me to the book, but keep in mind that I'm learning too.
D) Dedication. I will run at least one entire module. I don't want players dropping out. If you are unsure whether you can commit, please do not apply. If you do commit, please plan for at least a few months of RPing. Obviously, life happens, but this should be an extreme case. If you drop a character mid-module, I will find someone else to take your spot or ghost the PC myself until the module's conclusion. We might be able to change characters between modules, however.
As a side note, I am not planning to tell you what module(s) I will be running ahead of time. They should all be set in Golarion (Map). Assume your PCs have met and have adventured together since Level 1.
Let me know if you're interested! The OOC thread will go up once I have at least four commitments.

The voice sent shivers down Ryobi's spine. Lillian had always been... problematic, to the point where Ryobi had actually requested her to be transferred to a different cell block once. All of that mattered little now, as despite the duo apparently outnumbering her, Ryobi knew that Lillian counted at least double in terms of her psychopathy. Avoiding bloodshed would be difficult, if not impossible, but he hoped maybe he could avoid Janetta's if he played this right.
Ryobi still clutched his gun in his hand, having never holstered it once he entered the room, and cradled the comm device with the other. They had a good-ol'-fashioned Texas stand off, and although it was likely that both Janetta and Ryobi could fire before Lillian would get two shots out, there was an excellent chance that Lillian would kill one of them first. Ryobi slowly lowered his weapon as nonchalantly as he could, but kept his index finger on the side of the trigger. He turned around slowly, and his eyes confirmed what his ears had already told him.
"Lillian, dearest," Ryobi cooed softly. "I was actually hoping we would run into you soon. I was just thinking about all the fun we had. Was this comm yours?" He held up the device he had picked up. "We've already got one, so I suppose I could trade you. Toss over that gun, and you can have the comm. Deal?" The saccharine smile and tender tones of his voice would hopefully help her stand down, depending on exactly how crazy the woman was, but Ryobi definitely didn't count on it. "I'd hate to see your beautiful body get hurt, you know."

Welcome to the continuation of the Mines of Phandelver RP that @Daemanis started (link to the old thread here).
You all know what to do. In case of newcomers, we are starting at level one using the standard ability score array of 8, 10, 12, 13, 14, 15. All Unearthed Arcana is accepted, but I am not accepting 3rd party content (unless it has been previously cleared by me - feel free to ask, but the answer is likely no). This RP will be played out on this forum and is by invitation only. We make heavy use of a Discord server, which will be sent to the participants. Note: if Dae returns, you have a standing invitation to join in at any time. Just send a PM.
I will update the IC with the story thus far. In the meantime, please post your character sheets in the CHAR tab if they have been approved. New characters, please wait for approval and PM me your sheets.
As for the characters who will not be joining us, I hate to mess with immersion, but I would like us to basically act as though they didn't folow us to the Goblin Caves, and instead turned around and went home. As for the new PCs, let's pretend they were with us the whole time, contributed in the previous battle, and have been good companions thus far.

@Rig Hey. I'm sure our DM will respond soon, but in the meantime, a couple of things you may want to know. We do a lot of our discussion on Discord, so if you don't have an account, I'd suggest you look into it. This RP is intended to be fast-paced with a lot of combat. The DM expects posts at a maximum of two days from the previous post, sooner when at all possible (especially mid combat). Harb also has his own set of rules for character generation, including stat array, and you may wish to speak to him before going too far with chargen.
Sadly, a couple players recently had to drop out. I think (but cannot confirm) that there may be room for a newcomer, but I believe Harb has special rules due to tue structure of the RP.

Time passed almost imperceptibly in the room of the tavern. Food was served, and room keys were dispensed, courtesy of the merfolk with them. Due to the state of the crew, combined with the late hour once someone finally managed to ask, it was decided that our journey would continue the following day.
We split into rooms and rested for the evening. Not upon pillows or mattresses, but in beds made of underwater plants or bubbles or shells, depending on the room we inhabited. The beds were nearly spherical in shape, ensuring we did not unintentionally drift away in our hydrated slumber. It was more comfortable than I expected, and definitely more so than the ship.
In the morning (as much as morning can be ascertained from the middle of a coral miles from the water's surface), we gathered our spells and blades before finding Cynthia waiting for us. She lead us out of the city and we began on our merry way, unaware of what was in store.
>You now may spend Hit Dice, etc. Remember, in this RP, we do not fully heal on long rest. You do regain half of your max HD, and Jill will play a Song of Rest as well.

I think maybe the collab might have somewhat stalled the RP. With it being on some random site (that technically works on mobile but certainly is not optimized for it), combined with my weird schedule, I have almost no time to contribute to the collab*. I think one good option would just be to post whatever is there, and let us resond normally to it. Don't get me wrong, I love a good 1x1 collab. But putting the entire RP in? And now the person who suggested it has stated they might drop? It's simply not an optimal situation.
* - a bit of an explanation: when I write, it's often on mobile. I can save my in-progress post for long periods of time. Also, it's frequently at night when others are asleep in the same room. White backgrounds are bright, even on lowest illumination settings. All told, I simply am having major issues contributing.

Should we post the updated CS's in the Char tab? @Ermine
