How I Suck

AM Game 4 needs to be cancelled - I just found out that I'm going to be completely unavailable on the 21st.

Mercifully, only 1 player is effected at this point. Sorry Kelleris - I was looking forward to gaming with you again.

Heh, no problem, looks like I noticed right when you posted, so I should be able to slide into another morning game.

Added to game 7.

If anyone is willing, ekb's cancellation opens up another table. If you'd like to run something, please let me now.

Buzz - I wonder if 15th level might be a bit intimidating for a one-shot adventure? Do you think it might better serve the gameday as a 9th level game?

The Dungeons of Castle Grayrock

I sent a message to buzz to update the event's description with the info below, but I thought that I would be post it here too:

If you will be bringing your own pregenerated character, please follow the rules in the DMG on page 143 for creating higher level characters. This includes one 10th level magic item, one 9th level magic item, one 8th level magic item and 3,400 gp for other magic items or equipment. You can select magic items from the Player's Handbook and the Adventurer's Vault. Also, please send an email to roberson.anthony@gmail.com with the chararacter's race and class (this way I can try to provide a suitable miniature).

It's a tough call. That fact that it's high-level could be a selling point to some folks. E.g., "Cool! My group never played PCs higher than 10th."

I wonder if listing the system as D&D 3.5 (with tweaks) might be the more important bit. Unless it's really not D&D 3.5 with tweaks...

But I'm just making stuff up. Caveat emptor!

Some interesting thoughts, and certainly anyone who has played 3.5 will have no trouble jumping right into this scenario, but let's leave the name as is for now and I'll give those who sign up some more details as we get closer (or a cheat sheet on the day). However, I am still thinking that scaling the adventure down to a 9th level game is the way to go. So, let's just go ahead and do that now before anyone signs up (and we risk disappointing someone on that score). Thanks.

FYI, Vyvyan Basterd: I was thinking of playing a wizard, most likely human. Dunno, if anyone else sent you PCs yet, so if that role is covered already, lemme know.

Only Nat has sent me anything yet. She's interested in playing a Druid, but she was planning on bringing multiple characters.
