So it looks as if we're having trouble getting together, for a variety of
reasons.
I propose that we put D&D on hold until the autumn. We'll be over our various
Summer trips and suchlike (though yes, I like Autumn trips), and perhaps
Chris's new baby will be sleeping through the night by then.
ALSO, this will give us time for someone to create a new campaign. Anthony has
said he won't be able to do one.
So I'm thinking I might. Fair warning: I'm a bit of a hardass DM sometimes,
with an "If you said it, your character said it" approach. ::stares at Chris
and his randomly wanting to kill random strangers::
I reward good role-play with magical toys or other advantages. Get into
character!
If you guys are into it, I'll start preparing the campaign. Here's what you
need to know:
*Start at level 1, using the HIGH fantasy (20 point) point-buy system, and then
take one additional point in a stat of your choice
*Character races are limited to human, elvish, half-elvish
*Alignments must be LG, NG, CG, LN, N.
*This will be a city/deep civilization campaign, so choose classes accordingly
(i.e. don't bother with a ton of Survival skill)
*Your character should have a job of some sort that makes sense in a city, and
makes sense with their class (e.g. a fisherman, with a druid class specializing
in water and wind and talking to fish; or a fighter who is part of the city
watch; or a junior church acolyte who has a class of cleric; or a student at
the local wizarding college)
*CORE CLASSES ONLY, but no Barbarians. If you want to go to one of the other
base classes or an archetype, please contact me and we'll discuss how that
class might fit into the campaign, but I would rather you avoid it.
As noted, it's a city/civilization campaign (think Rome, or perhaps
Charlemagne), so think about how your character fits into the milieu. I'll put
together some worldbuilding details in the next few weeks that might help
inspire you for where your character can fit in.
