Gauging Interest

So, I've been wanting to play more of this game for a good while, but it seems to be pretty rare that a new game opens up on this board, so I've decided to see if anyone was interested in playing in a game I made. I'm not new to the whole GMing business, and I have a decent campaign laid out that I had started with my previous play group before it fell apart due to scheduling conflicts. In order to avoid this happening again, I think I'd like to do a pbp campaign instead of a maptool one.

So, if enough people are interested, I can open up a game on Mythweavers or Rpol (or somewhere else if there's a preference) and explain a bit more about the setting. For starters though, I will say that the campaign is set on an island, making the plot a lot more self contained, but aside from that the players are free to approach the situation in any way they please, and I like to try and keep railroading to a minimum.

I am interested, as my PbP games seem to have died. I personally have a preference for RPol, but would not object to using mythweavers.

I'm interested. Not familiar with Rpol or Mythweaver though, don't really have much of a preference for anything else either. Most of my rp has gone on between ezboards and invisionfree, and I wouldn't even necessarily suggest either of those.

Would we be starting character creation at level 0?

I find level 0/1 to be a rather boring to start at, considering how limited the classes are at such low levels. I would start the players at level 5 so you can at least pick a class or two, and it allows the characters to already be somewhat established as trainers at the start of the campaign.

So long as this it play-by-post, I'd be interested. (I'd though Mythweavers was just for sheets before!)

I'll join in. I also have a friend who is looking to join a game, so that's two more for you if you have enough room. We already have an account on Rpol but can set up an account wherever you decide to post the game.

Alright! 4-5 players is definitely good, and I've decided to start the game on Rpol since there are a few people with a preference and accounts there to begin with. Now, before you guys start creating your characters, here's the game intro for the setting:

Spoiler: click to toggle



With that in mind, I would like to see at least preliminary character sheets here in this thread before we get into the game. Your characters will start at Trainer Level 5, with two pokemon at level 20. If you want to use any homebrewed classes, feel free, but please post the source material so I can check it over. I'm not placing any explicit restrictions on pokemon choice either, but please be reasonable. Keep in mind that if I feel that a homebrewed class or pokemon choice won't work out, you will have to choose something else. I am also open to any suggested changes to the current core books, as I know they aren't perfect, and I don't want to limit the players due to a few abilties not functioning properly or being incorrectly listed.

Backstory


Couple of questions: What would starting equipment/cash be like? What sorts of rules does this league have for battles (doesn't need to be answered here)? What is the format for this league?

Hmmm... Forgot about starting equipment. I'd say starting with $5000, a pokedex, and a decent quality backpack. That $5000 can go toward whatever starting equipment you want (using handbook prices).

As far as rules and format goes, your characters don't even know yet. They'll get filled in near the beginning. I can promise you that it'll be unique though.
