Zero to Hero - Solo Game Swap

I've been running a handful of solo style games, and I'm interested in playing in one myself.  I'm also putting out the bonus of being willing to run a game for anyone willing to run one for me.

I'm flexible on many details, but here are some of my preferences and thoughts for what sort of game I'd like to play in:
  1. Start at low level.  No higher than five.
  2. System preference for Pathfinder for the Sorcerer idea and 5e for the Paladin.
  3. Will run Pathfinder or D&D 5e happily.  Not willing to run 4e or 3.5; I've moved on and don't wish to go back.
  4. No gestalt.  The whole idea is just unattractive to me.
  5. No smut writing.  I'm not into that.  Not to say no to romance, but tasteful fade to black on those scenes is where I draw my line.
  6. I make time to post between 3 and 5 times a week for all the games I play in and run at the moment.  I imagine a similar pace for these games.  Might be faster depending on if we happen to be online at the same time.  Stranger things have happened, haha!


And that's nuts and bolts stuff.  I've got a couple of story ideas for a character.  One is a young sorceress with draconic powers.  Her family has ancient ties to a very famous dragon, and she's just begun to manifest her powers.  Her parents have no gifts in this area and they can only provide very basic help.  She will need to travel or seek guidance elsewhere.  There's a lot more to this idea, and I can dump a lot more details for it if this sounds like an engaging story idea for you.

The other idea is for a young man turned Paladin.  He was abandoned at a Temple of Bahamut and raised by the clerics there.  Eventually, he was taken on as a squire apprentice by a Silver Dragonborn Paladin.  After eight years of wandering and training, the Dragonborn has left the man to his own devices.  He has but one desire, to become a king of this land.  How he does this or what his motivations may be are where the game gets its flexibility.  If you have some good ideas for setting and such, I'll happily run with you to flesh out this idea.  I've also got some ideas for potential quests and requirements for him to "succeed" and will happily discuss them if anyone's interested.

Leave a message here or drop an rMail if you have questions or want to discuss things.

Thanks!

I like the basics of your sorceress idea and I already have some of my own ideas about where it could go. I like:
  • powerful PCs
  • wizards
  • wars
  • grit (my game is mature but not adult)
  • descriptive combat vs grid combat (in PbP, anyway)
  • DM PCs (in solo games) - I won't spotlight them - they're primarily there to flesh out the world and allow more challenging encounters


I would probably set this is Golarion because that's what I have books for and I like a grab bag of source material. Your posting rate sounds about right as I don't like posting on weekends.

Shoot me a request if you want to talk more. This is a link to a mature game. link to another game
