New Eberron PbP

Is there anyone out there I (and perhaps others) could con bribe beg to perhaps run some sort of Eberron PbP?

Looks like all the current ones out there are full, so I'm hoping perhaps I can lure a GM to give a new PbP a try.

I'd be willing to try it myself if I had more PbP experience. However, I've not played in one before beyond trying the Living EN World, and want to try one first before I run one.

Oh man... your post got me all geared up. Then I read it and - no game. Very sad.

Help me Bribe and/or Capture a GM then!

See, we have 2 interested people.

Hmm, I might possibly be interested in running something, but sadly there is nothing that is inspiring me at the moment. I don't have anything homemade prepared, and the published adventures just aren't doing it for me.

So help me find an inspiring adventure idea/adaptable published adventure and you've got your man!

While I do not know much on the published adventures, since Eberron can be rather gritty, how about having the heroes hired to track down a murderer who seems to be stalking the "working" girls in the slum district. With each murder, he/she/it seems to be growing more bold and viscious and when a noble's daughter is killed, the time to settle the matter quickly and quietly has arrived.

A twist or two thrown in by you and I think you could have the start of something good.

Other opinions may vary of course...

There are several ideas posted in the General RPG Discussion forum.

I've been batting a few around myself for my home campaign I'm starting in Eberron.

- Something involving the Lord of Blades attempt to populate the world with Warforged. (Searches for new ways to construct them, ect, all under the guise of someone else, perhaps from Morgrave U)
- A dragon subtly manipulates the party researching the dragonmarks, perhaps even investigating the appearance of a "new" dragonmark.
- Survivors of the ruling family of Cyre drive a quest to seek out a way to restore the Mournland
- Incidents on the Breeland/Droaam border drive both kingdoms towards war, and the party goes to investigate.
- King Kaius ir'Wynarn III asks a trusted group of adventurers/colieuges/guards to help him with his "little" problem.

Honestly, given how open Eberron is, you do some simple things to start and have things escelate later.
- The party goes on a simple artifact recovery mission by one power (Dragon Mark house, organization, government, ect), only to find out later that it was someone posing and actualy a different power...
- A simple job in Sharn gets caught up in the politics of Over and Undersharn...
- Several different jobs by several different powers slowly begin to tie togeather, as the party finds out that they have been helping both sides in a conflict that can not end well for anyone if it continues.

FYI, I've been considering making a personal house rule that adjusts your Action Point total by your CHR modifier. I'm open to any rules a GM makes, I figured I'd just put that out there as an interesting option. I don't think it adds too much to the game as you can't keep them between levels if you don't use them, and I think it makes ANYONE think twice about dumping CHR.

Count me in as a potential interested player if you guys can find a DM.

Also... why would you link action points to the personality/leadership ability?

I just posted this in the House rules forum asking what people thought as well. But, it's more of a game balance (IE, no dump stat) thought. If you look at Action Points as "Heroic Bravado" points that let you go above and beyond normal, then a character with a high charisma might tend to have a bit more of that "Heroic Bravado".

Like I said, it's just a thought, and something I'm using as a house rule. I'll play (And enjoy it) without it.

So we have 4 potential players, and someone willing to GM if we fill his head with evil thoughts campaign ideas... Sounds good so far...

I have been wanting to run a Eberron game set in the lawless frontier of the Lhazaar Principalities. Kind of a rough and tumble seafaring game ranging from the fridge waters of the north to the steaming jungles in the south.

Would that work for ya?

Give me a week or two and I can have a game up and running for four interested players.


Edit: Oops! Looks like you already have a GM. Sorry for butting in like that. Good luck to ya!

Sign me on as an additional player. Any chance we can start with a few levels under our belts (3rd or even 6th level)? I keep droolling over all the cool feats in Races of Eberron and I would like to be high enough level to have a couple.
