After a bad two years it seems of on agan off again posting to my existing games I am back and wanting to start a new thread to "The Four Lands" genre i have going on. While i truly enjoy the players in those games I am looking for fresh blood to help me grow as a dm....needless to say if someone who is currently playing in one of the games comes up with a kick ass idea i will of course entertain them joining.
The campagin will consist of 3 to 5 party members (and this time it is hard and fast number) who will be membes of an intelligence service. Starting levels will be 5th level and I am open to most character types. Remember though that arcane magic is a big no no in this world and demi humans are considered evil incarnate by the church..thus you need to play human or a human variation.......
Character generation is done by rolling 4d6 and 8 times and dropping the lowest number....you may pick 7 of those rolls to keep...the seventh roll is an unknown to all except the dm....please use invisible castle to do this....
Starting background can vary and almost anything can be accomadated as long as it is reasonable.....
Starting gold is 5000 gp....to spend...and you may select one magic item only.
Due to my work schedule I will only be able to readily post Saturday, Sunday and Monday witht he occasional odd weekday post...Players should be able to post at least once a week....
This is going to be a plot with plot type of campagin where players have to discover information etc...there will be of course combat but it will not be combat heavy......
Posting as someone who is in three of JA's other games, I can tell you all that he is a great DM! If he weren't looking for fresh blood, I'd certainly be trying to get into his game!

but if you read the post carfully i said I WOULD Entertain the ideas if someone came up with a kick ass character...which you usually do lol
I'm trying to cut back on the number of games I'm in at the moment anyway. But if I come up with a kick-ass concept, I will certainly let you know.

This sounds like fun, and with some interesting constraints. It also sounds great for a crossbow-wielding rogue idea I have had: the idea was originally for a half-orc (="human variation"?), but could be adapted to straight human if that were required. Let me know if the concept works (if not I can try something else!)

Aura had grown up in the city--in fact it is almost true to say she had grown up on the city walls. As a girl she had brought water and then quarrels for the guards posted on the walls, and while she was not especially pretty, most people forgave her that because of the large scar on her face. There wasn't much that could be done to hide that, they all thought, and so came to think of Aura as a mascot of sorts, which was especially easy since her birth parents, whoever they were, had abandoned her soon after the attack that had disfigured her so. And Aura belonged to the city: it kept her fed, and so when she was thirteen it was only natural that a big girl like her would also find her way to duty on the walls. That was when Aura found her gift: for while she couldn't do the fancy tricks that some of the archers did, her first shot was always where she wanted it to be, and she seemed to have no compunction about killing. No one had ever called Aura soft, and her move from mascot to squad leader was smooth and supported by the men she had grown up with. Her promotions came quickly -- almost embarrassingly so -- so that she would have been made a Lieutenant, commanding the whole East wall, at an age that would have seemed unseemly to the men who had supported her a mere eighteen months earlier. But her confidence had attracted some notice, and that was when she was noticed by the Intelligence Service, who thought that they might be able to use a sniper like her.

Yes it is 3.5 sorry i would like to see you paritcipate "The Digger" but i just do not have time to learn the finner points of 4 ....and often have to rely on the rules guru for 3.5
She sounds like an interesting character i would go for 1/4 orc if you want with a few abilites and even a half orc would work but she would need to favor her human parent....say just a big boned country lass

Not alot of combat??
Plots within plots???
One magic item???
human only???
posting only once a week???
Who would join...
OH wait I would
Intelligence huh?? As I sit here I 'm thinking barbarian how did you get into this business? "I just showed up and they had me carry some boxes and now I gots to go find some impotant something or some such. I don't know but I am a good at watching the horses they say they always need a watcher."
Frigin will be the muscle as needed, carrying and doing the opening of "stuck" doors I think it will be fun to play the guy who falls into the soup and comes out spotless, accidently getting the job done so to speak.
Sure finish him up and post sounds like a interesting muscel type...
LOL there will be combat .....but no it will not be combat then combat then combat...more like think, sleuth, investigate combat...repair...fallout....combat...sleuth...inv estigate
And the posting may be a bit more as our time permits just setting the groudwork..
I am looking through my DMG for an appropratie magic item. And then heading to IC which is warming up in the tag now, but background and all will take a min.
You need to reroll on invisible castle again using only 3 of the 4 dice..you cant not simply add the four...dont worry it will balance out...in the adjustment phase..

And yet another word from our sponsors
