Eberron campaign; ex-cyrian theme [closed - sorry]

Hello all. Well, I've been thinking of DMing a PbP Eberron game, and my playing PbP games just aren't kicking off. So to satisfy the hunger I'm thinking about DM'ing the basic path and published adventures. I'll commit to 1-2 adventures and see how it all goes from there. Most likely I'll start with
Forgotten Forge and then Queen with the Burnign eyes.

I'm primarily running this as a 'themed' party of ex-cyrian soldiers. However there is room for movement. So long as 1/2-3/4 are ex-cyrian there is always room for deviation, good well-rounded characters are the most important thing for me.

So if you are interested I'll take four players, and it is not first in first served. I'll take the four that I will enjoy DMing the most.

Character Creation: 32 point buy
2nd level start (experience from last war/events surrounding it).
normal 900gp starting wealth & I'll probably chuck in a goodie for each player

Alignment: NO EVIL, otherwise fair game.

Hitpoints: Full, we'll run 3/4 Hps for all levels gained during the course.

Races: core and ECS only (note I don't have Psionics).

Books: PHB
DMG
MM
ECS
PGtF - I'll allow some stuff from here. (Ask if there is anything in particular you want).

party make-up.
1) Tok, changeling artificer2. - played by ShaggySpellSword
2) Magnus, human cleric2 of Dol Dorn - played by GPEKO
3) Anvuss, warforged fighter2 - played by Paitlin
4) Hobbes, shifter barbarian2 - played by Elocin


That's probably all. If there is anything that you'd like to discuss please feel free to e-mail me at creetbee 'AT' yahoo 'DOT' com.

I'm very interested in getting into an Eberron game. However,

By this, do you mean the Forgotten Forge & Shadow of the Last War ? If so, I'll probably have to leave this game to others as I've read these adventures.

As for a party theme, ex-cyrians seem like a good idea to me. An all warforged party might be a little too restrictive. Or maybe we could all be dinosaur riding halflings !!! OK, that's probably just me

It'll probably be the Forgotten forge and then QwBE. Mybe Shadows but from there if I'd probably just see what everyone wanted to do and where they wanted to go.

hmm if you feel you can keep player knowledge seperate from character knowledge then I don't see it as being a problem.

I like the ex-cyrian idea and would be interested in joining.

Ok that's two for ex-cyrian theme. Consider it the theme!

any race that could conceviably be have been a part of the Cyrian army/militia is fair game.

SO does this mean I have to have the Eberron book? (I don't and as my nearest FLGS is 4 hours away I only do RPG shopping once or twice a year)

but if I can play just based on the DnD corebooks and WotC site then I'm keen

Nope, if you want to play something that you don't have full info on then I'm sure one of us can fill you in on the stats etc.

So long as the character concept is solid...

Ex-Cyrean, eh? Well I've been hankering for an Eberron game and I love the whole idea of a recently blowed-up nation with all kinds of refugees. Definitely interested.

Sidekick, how particular are you going to be about PCs being ex-soldiers? Would support personnel (thinking along the lines of a dragonmarked healer or someone else who worked in a non-combatant role) suffice? Or more broadly, is a former Cyre resident enough or would you rather someone who served in Cyre's military during the war?

I can go either way with it, but I'd like to feel out how much latitude there is. I'm quite up on playing a Cyrean, but no sense spending a lot of time on him to discover we have different ideas about how Cyrean is sufficiently Cyrean.

I'd like to get in on this, I've been itching for an Eberron game since I picked up the ECS.

I'm thinking a Warforged Barbarian would be a lot of fun, and would fit in with the ex-Cyre theme.

I'd like to throw in a character for consideration. Where should we post them, btw?
