Warcraft RPG "the haunting of barrenrim" [OOC - second wind]

sophist

First Post
Hi,
this is the definitve try to get a Warcraft D&D campaign going here. :D
Below are the guidelines to follow:

* 4th level
* 28 point buy.
* for creation, you get a fixed number of hp for levels 2,3,4: for d4 you get
2,5 hp, for a d6:4, d8: 5,5, d10: 7, and d12: 8,5.
After summung this up, drop all fractions:
e.g Ftr2/rog1/Hlr1 -> 10+7+4+5,5=26,5 which rounds to 26
* I want no scourge or burning legion sympathy people. No chars evil to
the core. WC3 proved the the horde is NOT evil per se and I want to
keep it that way.
* beginning gold is 5000 gp. I know this is below what the DMG offers for
4th level chars, but I want more economic verisimilitude in the game
so while treasure will less than might be randomly generated by treasure
tables, it will be still over the income of "Normal" people.
* designing a background for you character WILL be apreciated and I am open
to a group concept.
* you will not need the WCRPG book to play, but I want familiarity with the
"world" of Warcraft, for example you played through the computer game. For
other rules the SRD3.5 should suffice, although
I will use PHB, DMG and MM. I will help as best as I can but please understand
that I cannot post copyrighted material.
* I am not adverse to using certain rules or equipment from "Arcana
Unearthed", like dire weapons or exotic armour.
* Please submit your characters in the standard format used throughout the
WotC books: Name, gender race class, HD (hp), etc.
* because I like to tailor adventures & campagins to fit the characters that
do them, I cannot provide a defintive guide for creating them. If you guys
come up with a group concept, no DM interventions is required.
But please keeps in mind that I want to involve seach & exploration missions
(at first!) and want to involve the Gobo city of Rachet.
(also: the addtion below)
* die rolling will be done by me with rolls posted
* I can post once daily, under the week I can try to go for maybe twice.
Most Sundays I cannot post
* please no Half-X please. the WC games did not protray hybrid races and I
personally think their inclusion in the WCRPG not very "close" to the
world of WC.
* while I will somewhat play up to the lure and ambivalence of arcane magic,
i see the the relation of demons and magic as an exterior, not an intrinsic
one. Consequently, ther will be some prejudice, the addiction and the parasitic
realation of demons to arcana, but no wizard or sorcerer will be forced on
a path of evil just by spellcasting.
* reading other posts remined me: i will decide on case by case basis if you
can use material from non-core books

Your characters are hired as bodyguards or scouts or muscle or for some other function by by a goblin explorer named Martin George.

For a current listing of who plays, see post #11 below.

I hope this leaves no questions, but if so don't hesitate to ask.

Just checking in from the other thread. I'm still in for an Orc scout.

welcome.

I have aquired the Warcraft Manual of Monsters (WCMM) yesterday evening and now I have everything set. The first adventures will be "on the road" ....
to where and why?
My a basic assumption is that you are (a group of) adventurers on the road to
Rachet, where you are hired for an expdition organzied by the tinker Martin
George
what is the situation?
you are on your way lead by the Furbolg guide Tedd towards your next waypoint,
the village of Barrenrim where peons from the horde try to eke out an existence.

I have upped the equipment allowance, seeing that you would need adequate
Items in this world.

Please post your characters in the Rouge's gallery thread "The Haunting of barrenrim". you will find Tedds listing there as an opening post.
 


Working on the Shaman =] I've been ill myself for ~5 days, feeling a bit better now, so hopefully I can get some stuff done today.
 



if there is a spot open i'll take it, i have played warcraft but that has been a long time ago.

not sure what i'm going to play
1. elf archer
2. dwarf fighter (warrior)

are we going for 3.0 or 3.5? but are no problem for me..

Lol, Venus, Robbert, Rino, me, this party is gonna have quite a lot of dutch players in it this way :)

very good we're set to go.


do far we have:

3 orcs (grayh, thels & venus)
and one elf (robert)
and one undecided between dawf & elf. (rino)

these are five people, so the is place for one more in my planning if another one comes.

night-elf are more likely to join the horde, but with a good
reason high elf are also fine. dwarf is the least likely race
to fit in, but with a noce story most things are possible. :D

I have some ideas ready, so that you will get to shaman, too
later in this game. Plans plans go faaar .... :p

Tomorrow I plan on posting the opening of the playing thread over on the over message board.
