Okay, let's start this group up at 9pm November 14th. I think enough votes are in.
We will start in Sigil. All of your characters will be 1st level to start. All of you know each other and have worked together in the past as bounty hunters. (If this idea suits you... this was my original idea, anyway.)
There are no restrictions, save that when you are dead, you are dead. No resurrectoins. We will play 3.5 rules.
As for how we are going to communicate, I am open to suggestions. Let's form a plan here in this thread.
Oh. Well, do you want me to run it? There's no reason we couldn't do two, or change up the online campaign a little, or you could join the online campaign... options are plentiful...
Don't worry about it. I thought we had talked about it and decided it would be a live game and you and I would take turns running it. I rolled up a character and came up with two adventures. I thought this was the set decision and I was very excited about it.
However, due to our phone conversation, I lost interest in this campaign. I withdraw my objection to it being the online game.
I will say I am sorely disappointed, though. I really wanted to try my hand at playing a bounty hunter - and in running a bounty hunter campaign. I still want to try a shared game (you and I taking turns at DMing), but I wish it had been this one. It bothers me a lot that it will happen without me, but based on your comment on the phone, I don't know if I can run it now even if you changed your mind about the focus of the online game.
Well, I don't know what really changed your mind. I really am not married to it. We can still run it off and on, taking turns, if you like. I can think up something else for online, or just let the players determine the nature of the party. Think it over. Nothing is written in stone.
Who all is playing and what kind of classes are people leaning towards? I'm up for playing whatever class type we are short on.
Vince, is there anything we can do to convince you to join in at least as a player? I was really hoping some of the band could get back together for this one.

Any consensus on what program we are going to use?
I know I don't have to worry about it but to be honest I haven't played in so long I have to many equally cool ideas and can't make up my mind. So if I know we already have certain classes or races it will help me narrow it down. So what does everyone have planned?

Well, as the DM, I probably won't play anyone. As for the campaign, let's set it in Sigil and just see what happens. Vince and I talked and we really want to do the bounty hunters live.
chat is fine with me but I thought I'd suggest Skype since it's supposed to be quite simple and allows for more immediate communication. I'd need to get a headset ($20) and an account (free)

If the bounty hunters is live, what'll the online game be? Just whatever it turns into?
1) The online game starts Friday night. We're working on a way to communicate via voice. The campaign is starting in Sigil, but we're NOT playing Bounty Hunters, just normal dudes from Sigil (or in Sigil) and we'll figure it out from there?
2) The live game is now going to be bounty hunters and we need new characters for it??
3) If 2 is right, are Vince and Mark gonna switch off DMing and playing. If so, will they play the same PC when they're players? Cause I think that'd be a really neat experiment. =)
Thanks. =)
BTW - I'm going to play an Elan (Expanded Psionics Handbook) Wilder specializing in Astral Contructs for the online game. I'll play a Human (unless that's being overruled in which case I might take an ECL hit for something neater) Ranger/Rogue for the Bounty Hunter game.
I know you've got a bunch of planescape rules and such and aren't much for the rules anyways, but here's a great resource for 3.0/3.5 Planescape. They've done all the work for you. You might wanna check out some relevant parts before Friday...
Yes, we start this Friday. We need to figure out how we are meeting, though.
Yes, the new online gang will be a wait and see campaign.
Yes, the Bounty Hunters will likely take the place of the Hamdin group.
Yes, I like the idea of Vince and I playing the same character. I will talk to him. It sounds inventive and fun. Good idea, Chris!!!
For the online campaign there are no restrictions. The way I see it, when you are starting in a city at the heart of eternity you get to play whatever you want!
Thanks for the new Planescape references. I will look through them. I have limited time this week, but I will do what I can.
