The Balestar Rises is a campaign in a homebrewed Points of Light setting. World building is one of my favorite things to do as a DM, but I tend to spend more time on it than on actually putting games together, so this campaign is an effort at reversing that. The adventures begin along the western coast of a large landmass.

Jythri

First Post
Draas is nearly back! He'll still be a gnome, but instead of bardish arts, he'll be a mage. Actually, it's quite a small transition at first level, and the merchant character concept still stands. I'm working on his re-roll this weekend and hope to be play-ready early next week, with DM's approval.

Sorry I dropped in a hole, all! Life got....hectic!
 




Brom-Katy

First Post
(I posted this to the googlegroup, but thought I'd post here too, just to make it official)

I'm working on getting Brom converted. He's going to stay basically the same (same background & basic character traits) but changing his class from Fighter to Ranger. Can't wait to see what everybody does with their characters!
