View Full Version : Looking for PCs

I'm about to try a DnD game here and I need people willing to try me as a DM. The characters are to be 5th level, and I allow a variation of one level. This is my first time with a PbP, but not my first time as a DM.

Some of you may remember me from 3ebb talking about a homebrew world I use a lot. I won't be using that world, so none of you need to be familiar with who Morgan la Fey is or World Gates. If you don't know what they are, don't worry.

This is going to be a homebrew world as well, but the PCs will actually have a bigger role than in my previous one (translation: they won't be the tools of some power-hungry gods out to dominate everything).

I'm going to be using the standard rules. You need the core books and I am allowing the Psionics Handbook. The reason is because I find that all of those additions tend to draw attention away from the game itself. Besides, I don't want to have to go flipping through 10 different books looking for the rules on an action.

The only other restriction is on ability scores. I'm using the point-buy system and setting the limit to 32 points. This is not a campaign so tough that you need solid 18s to survive, but a person whose highest ability score is 13 probably won't live very long. Note that the ability score limit is before the racial modifiers and the ability raise at fourth level. You could easily start the game out with a 20 in one ability.

Also, this campaign is not just hack and slash. You will be expected to interact with people as well. There will be fighting, and a lot of it totally, but don't expect to not have to use diplomacy at times. There will be a few times when you will be rewarded for not killing people. Don't expect this to be like some action movie you see on television.

Also, due to a question posed in the first reply, I will allow things from the Wizards site: Powers for psionic characters, spells, a few of the monsters (I plan to use some), and the Craft Drilbu feat.

Please reply here if interested.

LOL Play PBP games are very Role-play orientated regardless if you want them to be very hack and slashy or not :)

I may be interested, will you be allowing teh Psionic stuff from the wizards site?

I made it a point to add an answer to that in the main post. The question, however, got me to thinking a bit.

What about prestige classes? I gather you allowing the prestige classes from the wizards site also.

NestroEmichae

No. Only those in the core books for prestige classes.

I'd be interested in playing. I've never played a PBP before, so I wouldn't have any idea how bad of a PBP DM you'd make :nervous:

Good. Two players is a start. I've never done this as a DM before, so we're all in for a surprise. I'll contact the admins about making a game today.

I am interested in joining your game. where and when would you like us to post our characters.

If you will have me that is.

I'll have you. Characters can be posted here. I seem to not be getting any kind of reply about the forum, though...

Resend your request to me, if you haven't done so already...

If you have and opening left I would like to submit a character.

NestroEmichae
12th of December, 2002, 07:36
I still have a few openings left. I didn't limit the size because I never know how many players I will get.

Good then I will play a human psion. Will post the character most problably in the morning.

I also was thinking of playing a psionic character, but a Psi Warrior instead of a psion. will that be a problem, if so I will just play something else.

can I play a 3/3 fighter/wizard ?

Go ahead and play it Tambryn I am going to change to a human paladin.


Quick question for the prespective DM though can I use the divine might feat out of Defenders of the faith? Also what gods are there for a paladin?

Yes, I'm also wondering if we're allowed to use feats/items from the splat books. From what I understand, the only prestige classes we can use are basically limited to DMG. Would you be allowing PrCs outside of the DMG on a case-by-case basis, or would that just be a flat-out no?

Also, where the heck are the feats on the Wizards site? I can't seem to find them. :?

Depending on who plays what, I might play Fighter 3/Rogue 2. Human, of course. :)

Wizards seems to have hidden the feats...

I'll allow PrCs on a case-by-case basis. We will need to get it started, however, and you can get PrCs while in the campaign.

Level to start: 6th level.

Well that changes things a bit. I was thinking of a paladin with divine might as a feat from Defenders of the faith. Do you have specific dieties to choose from?

Unrelenting Newbie

Just to let everyone know, I've scrapped the idea of a rogue/fighter and decided on a cleric. I'm going to assume for the moment that we can use feats and items from the splat books, so I'll post my character in a few hours when I finally got him fleshed out. I've got all the stuff down, just need to work on basic items (i.e., horses and wagons and all the goodness).

Welps, I finally finished it up. Let me know if you want anything else. I have pretty much everything except for a name and a deity, since I don't know what deities we'll be using. Let me know if anything is inaccurate! Oh, and I don't have height/weight/history... :)

EDIT: Noticed a bunch of errors, so I'll just fix them tomorrow or over the weekend and get it posted ASAP.

On PrCs: You can obtain those once the game has started. Once we get a forum, I'll put up information on how to submit them for approval.

On gods: The core gods, as well as a few of my own. I will post those either tommorow or Sunday.

I may be interested in playing (as long as we dont see your most powerful creation ;)).

I'm thinking Rogue if no one else is playing one.

Sorry for the delay, but you now have a forum... (your emails were somehow routed to a mailbox that should not even have existed)

You guys won't see my most powerful creation, unless you happen to find it dead. I won't unleash that thing on anybody, no matter how much they annoy me.

I'm moving into our forum for the rest of this.

LeeCheSS- Sounds like someone didn't want me having a game here. ;)
