Now for a bit of the story to entice you....

It was the smell that woke you first. As you shake your head to regain your other senses, you realize that they seem to be failing you. You feel strips of cold on your wrists and ankles and your neck. Could they be metal perhaps? Then with fear clenching your heart you realize you do not remember how you got here. All you can seem to remember is your name. Is that your name? Then you see them. Below you several dots of green seem to floating in the darkness. As you peer closer, you then make out that they are eyes of...something. Then your ears remember thier function. You can hear creaking and moaning..could that be wood? Your sense of touch fully returns at last, now you can not only feel the metal but by they way it keeps biting into your arms you can tell that you are moving. All at once the weight of your situation drags upon you and before those damnable eyes get any closer a light appears in front of you. Below you see the forms of the green eyed creatures clearly, if briefly. They appear to be wolves..of shadow? As the light banishes them you can see the hungry looks on thier faces..waiting and wanting. The bands snap apart and you hit the floor quickly regreting how your sense of pain was not one of the slower ones to return. You look up into a cruel grey light, as you step out the chamber. You quickly realize that it was a wagon you were in. As you look around the morning light now being fully blocked by the grey foreboding clouds in the sky. You see several other carts to either side filled with people. All clothed in the grey tabard, (and not much else) That you are wearing. Before you could question where you got such a shamefull garb, your mind finally registers the enormous tower in front of you. Its grey stones match that of the clouds above it and had made it hard to see against the backdrop of the sky. You suddenly smell salt and in the distance you hear..waves crashing? Before you could contemplate what all of this means a very unkempt man approaches the crowd. "Hello everyone, welcome to Purgatory, your residence for the rest of your miserable lives!" As the man laughs like the pig he looks to be. "I think its time you met the Warden!"

A bit of a warning to any of those brave enough to take on this campaign.

This is a EXTREMELY HARD campaign. I would only like experienced players to join and I hope they learn to work together quickly. Being a power gamer is allowed however your roleplaying had better match your "numbers". This is not a one man show, In the eleven years i have written edited and re-edited this campaign not a single group has even made it halfway. I am a fair but strict DM. The only thing i cant stand is when people dont take the game seriously. All i wish is for some of your valuable time, I promise you wont be disappointed.

The Following is a complete tracker for all the groups for your veiwing pleasure.

we still need many people for group 4 and 5 and some fillers for group 3!

I'm interested, preferably a weekday slot, as my weekends tend to be full. PM with what you've got so far, I'd like to make sure my character will fit into the group.

[Zazin]

You really have me intrigued, I've been looking for more deep story telling and a challenging roleplay instead of pointless NPC conversation leading to mindless battles.

1) I've played a lot of 3.5, only one campaign on Pathfinder but I have it figured out. I've never played online before, though I can't see it being that much different to play. I've only ever been a player, and most campaigns I've played are largely combat focused, and not even very strategic. I'm really a team player, supporting the whole team with what they each specialize in, and always try to work together for combo strategies. I'm usually the highest charisma PC, so I end up doing most of the talking for the party.

2) You're time zone is an hour behind mine, so to your clock I'm available:
Monday anytime
Tuesday after 5pm
Sunday and Saturday after 6pm

I would really prefer a Monday game as I have no time restriction and I always have it off work.

3)I usually play spontaneous casters (hate being caught with the wrong prepared spells) Oracle (because the party never has a healer), arcane casters like the Warmage (blasting caster), Sorcerer (for more well rounded magic use) and really interested in the Summoner (for a battle tank elidion and support caster). Also play fighters, and I'm interested in the alchemist and articifer classes, though a high level progression gives me more multi-class options then I can imagine on the spot. Can you PM me with the other player's classes? (so I can compliment the party).

4)I'm excited that it's a larger point buy, longer level progression and extras. My mind is really running with all sorts of ideas for characters that I can really make happen with it. The story is really compelling; the intro really hooked me, and I'm excited to see how I fair in your life's work (11 years means a lot of testing and editing). My only hope for the game is that I can join, if not I wish you luck and thanks for the time and effort you've put into this.

[Arcadum]

Ok so sorry about taking super forever to respond to you fine people however i have been super busy with several groups and would like to announce the creation of a brandnew group which i will make according to the first people to post here! My Skype name is Arcadum and i hope to see you soon

[Zazin]
