Up from the Dust: OOC [FULL]

Here's a crazy little idea that I've been toying with... I know that we all here have characters that we've created for one game or another, and we really wanted to play those characters, but now the game for that character has gone the way of the dodo...

What I was thinking was this: I will run a game that will allow any character (regardless of level, class, alignment, or whatever) in a twisted little homebrew of my own creation. Here are the baseline rules:

1. Rule 0 is totally in effect; what I say goes, period.
2. The game would be centered around a core group of characters at a certain level, but all characters would be involved. For instance, I would make a group of 7th level characters be the "core group". All characters who were lower in level than that group would be followers, familiars, cohorts, etc. Also, all characters who were higher in level would be the benefactors, the enemies, etc., of those characters. This way, everyone would get to play...
3. In order to keep several different threads going (and actively involve several different layers of character groups) I will be heavily using spoiler tags. I require that these tags be respected.
4. Limit to one character per player
5. HARD REQUIREMENT for one post a day (sans weekends) - NO EXCEPTIONS. If you cannot make this requirement, DO NOT APPLY. If you cannot post once a day, you will be booted from the game.


The "campaign world", for lack of a better term, would be some infusion of Oathbound, Planescape, and ideas for twisted demiplanes from my own mind (thus, allowing the potential for ever-increasing challenge on a whole range of character levels) while also providing the flexibility to involve all sorts of character classes, races, etc.

Any interest? If so, please post links to the characters you would like to play and we'll start chatting...

Ashy,

This sounds like a great opportunity. The posting requirement is a bit harsh, but should not be a problem for me--except when EN World is down of course. ;) I have a 6th level human fighter that I was enjoying when the DM vanished from the boards back in August. He had been in a couple of encounters, but I dont' think we ever got exp. He should be well on his way to 7th level, so perhaps he can be in the core group. If not I would still be interested in playing in the second tier. The link is below. I don't know how to link to the specific post, but he is the first character posted--Larris Farvold.

Please remember - post links to your characters. It will be first come, first served!

My first post has been edited... Probably way to powerful, and I can understand that. :) (At least I posted the previous non-gestalt version.)

Ok, this sounds like fun. I have two characters that I really liked to play.

One of them was Roth Nosebreaker a 1st level vanilla human fighter with the attention span of a gnat. I modeled his behavior after Dory from Finding Nemo and he was the most fun I've had playing a character in while.

The other possibility is Jalen Isadore a 7th level FR cleric of Illmater who used feats from the Book of Exalted Deeds.

I can use whichever character would be easier to incorporate.
