[Re-Recruiting] [DnD 3.5] War of the Burning Sky [CLOSED]

pneumatik · Mar 23, 2010

After a long hiatus due to family events I'm re-starting my War of the Burning Sky campaign, and I need a couple more players. Confirmed coming back are a fire mage from the SRD and a Bo9S crusader. We may also have a grey-elf psion telepath, depending on if thanee is coming back or not.

The rules for character creation are at the start of the OOC thread for the game, [D&D 3.5] War of the Burning Sky

OOC:

[Closed]

OOC:

. Follow those rules except you start at 3rd level (the current party is level 3). As far as character background, being from Gate Pass will help, but the party's out of Gate Pass, which is under siege/attack, and travelling south, so if you're from elsewhere you could still be fit in. The only limit I see in backgrounds is you can't support the Scourge or the current actions of the Ragesian army / empire.

Post questions and apps to this thread.

If you want to read the game so far, the IC thread is pneumatik's WotBS 1 - The Scouring of Gate Pass.

I have some ideas about how to handle having more legitimate aps than there's room in the game, but I'll wait for that to actually happen before I worry about it.

A few questions before I go and take on my duty bound role as Chief Medical Officer. :lol:

Do we post charcters submissions here or out in the OOC?
How many players are you looking to recurit?

And when do you think your recuritment will end and game begin??

As several of my games have fizzled, I'd volunteer to play a rogue-ish skill monkey.

Not a good talker/diplomacy guy, but good with his hands.

Antithetist · Mar 24, 2010

I'm interested. Haven't had a chance to play any 3.x for some time, I'd like to have some on the go for a change from my 4E activities.

Seems like the party could use a cleric or thereabouts; I have the beginnings of an idea for a Cleric or maybe Favoured Soul of St. Cuthbert.

pneumatik · Mar 24, 2010

We're lacking both a cleric/druid healer and a skillmonkey, so both HM's and S@s' ideas are good. If you have no other questions feel free to start stat-blockin' and backstory'n.

Do we post charcters submissions here or out in the OOC?
Post character submissions here. Since we can have a thread just for recruitment, I find it's easier to keep it out of the OOC thread.

How many players are you looking to recurit?
I'm looking for two or three people, I think. With thanee back in that'll give us five or six, which should be good. To be honest it's been months since I've run any rpg, online or otherwise, so I've kinda lost my feel for what size group feels right, which is why I haven't settled on a firm number of players.

And when do you think your recuritment will end and game begin??
I think I'll give people until the middle of next week to express interest. From that point, once all the new players have a finished backstory and character sheet I'll drop the new people into the adventure.

Antithetist: sounds good. Proceed with character development.

Antithetist · Mar 24, 2010

If HolyMan has the healer role covered, I might take a little step left-field from my original concept and make it into a Monk. Anyway, I'll have a go at working something up tomorrow.

HolyMan · Mar 24, 2010

So you have:

fire mage
crusader
telepath

and the other two interested parties say they will play:

skill monkey
healer

Then I might go ranger or fighter(woodsman type). Seems a lack in the nature friendly department. A druid might work also as their healing his limited to if they take it. Not sure want to read the Player's Guide and sleep on it . Will have everyting in the morning. :lol:

HM

EDIT: Darn didn't see Antithetist's post will make up both and take the opposite of what he is playing. Or I could still take the druid and make him healer based. Though that sounds like a she. a little she hmmm... brain is working and character is coming forth, LOL

Appearance: Average build with average features. From first glance, Laravier does not look more than a common laborer - rough hands, dirty clothes (usually), and an unkept appearance.

Personality: Laravier is not the life of the party. He has a penchant for saying the wrong thing and getting himself into a LOT of trouble. Luckily, he is able to wriggle out of most bad situations, but he is a wanderer who doesn't stay in one spot for too long -- lest his big mouth get him into more trouble than he can handle.

Hook: That don't look too hard...

So you have:

fire mage

While Hollister is certainly a fire mage, and I am really playing up that angle, he will have plenty of utility spells as well. He is more of a generalist + fire.
