May 27th, 2013: I have decided to suspend this campaign due to RL demands.
Edit (April 16th Recruiting Notes): I may have lost two players so I am opening up recruiting again. I am looking for up to six players. I have five who are presently active so I will potentially take one more on a first-come, first-served basis. I will accept alternates as well. Inactive players are welcome to return, even if I already have acquired a replacement. All pertinent information for joining the campaign is in the first post (you don't need to read the whole thread).
My last attempt at an Eberron campaign met with mixed results. I think I tried to be a bit too complicated with my storyline. So I wanted to try something a little simpler. It is inspired by the introductory storyline for Dungeons & Dragons Online. The campaign would be pretty simple and straightforward. Your characters are shipwrecked on an island while en route to the city of Stormreach on the jungle continent of Xen'Drik. Your characters' reasons for going to Xen'Drik would be your own (e.g. running off to look for adventure, trying to flee criminal charges, whatever you want); background wouldn't be terribly important, just a means to guide roleplaying. Upon washing ashore, you find yourself with few provisions and equipment and must find a way to survive the harsh environs and locate the nearest settlement.
Rules would be simple. You could use the three core rulebooks for 3.5 plus the Eberron Campaign Setting, 28 point buy, and no starting equipment (you are being washed up on shore in nothing but ragged clothes so everything you get will have to be scavenged or found as treasure, at least at the beginning). Most of the campaign would end up taking place in Stormreach, a veritable Tortuga in the world of Eberron, a pirate city built upon ancient giant ruins where only the strong survive. The campaign would feature a mix of wilderness exploration, dungeon crawl, and roleplay in a pirate-themed setting. I'd be looking for up to six players.
Anyone interested?
Edit: Point of clarification, everyone will need to have their characters traveling on the same ship (or at least in the same fleet at the same time), a House Lyrandar galleon for example (airships very rarely travel to Xen'Drik and are usually restricted to travel over land in Khorvaire), although you need not know each other in advance. So once we have a critical mass of players, you will need to decide on what type of ship. A merchant vessel traveling to do trade with Stormreach? A passenger vessel traveling along Khorvaire's shores blown off course? A slave ship taking slaves to be sold in Stormreach? (Slavery is illegal in most parts of Khorvaire.) Up to you guys, but this is something you will need to work out before you devote your energies to character background.
Edit 2: I am starting to settle on character creation rules.
Ability Scores: 28 point buy (with possible bonus points for character backgrounds; I haven't decided)
Classes: core classes, artificer, psion, psychic warrior, soulknife, wilder (I may give all players bonus paragon levels; if so I will come up with paragon classes for Eberron races)
Races: core races, changeling, kalashtar, shifter, warforged
Feats: core feats, ECS feats, XPH feats
Equipment: none!
Spells/Powers: core spells, ECS spells, XPH powers
Edit 3: Character creation rules are finalized below. Please ask me in this thread if you have questions.
Ability Scores: 28 point buy (32 point buy with approved character background)
Classes: core classes, artificer, favored soul, knight, psion, psychic warrior, scout, soulknife, swashbuckler, warlock, wilder
Races: core races, changeling, kalashtar, shifter, warforged
Feats: core feats, ECS feats, XPH feats
Equipment: none!
Spells/Powers: core spells, ECS spells, XPH powers
Level: 4th-level; all characters begin at 1st-level in the class of player's choice, then add 3 racial paragon levels according to character's race (if more than one racial paragon class is available, e.g. half-elf, then all 3 paragon levels must be from one racial paragon class; see attached file for Eberron racial paragon classes; see Racial Paragon Classes for core races
Background: Your character was traveling aboard a ship which was wrecked at sea en route to Stormreach. Your character's background should reflect that, a purpose for traveling to Stormreach, preferably with the intent of it being a permanent relocation. A 32 point buy will be awarded to characters who submit an appropriate background. If you would like any background information on Eberron, the following links can be informative:
1. Wikipedia - Eberron.
2. Eberron Wiki.
(Thanks to doghead for providing these links.)
Select rules from Eberron source books may be allowed on a case-by-case basis. If you would like information on a particular subject, please contact me via PM and I can arrange to send you excerpts on topics of interest.
