[QUOTE="Sgroh87, post: 5203388, member: 90869"] I just graduated from college recently, and some of my friends are moving pretty far away (to Japan from Texas, for example). In order to stay in contact, we decided to run a game online through Google Wave. I was nominated to GM; and despite it being my first time to really run a game, I'm really excited about it. The game is set in a modified version of Eberron. The focus is on the Lord of Blades and the rogue warforged in the Mournland, and the tone (at least, in the beginning) is one of espionage. Here's what is going on: Merrix d'Cannith is rumored to have a secret creation forge, illegally building warforged for sale on the black market. This is not exactly true: Merrix d'Cannith IS creating warforged, but they are for his own use. You see, he was the designer of the Lord of Blades, and knows exactly what he is capable of. The Brelish government doesn't see one missing warforged as a credible threat, but Merrix knows otherwise. He knows how charismatic he is, how persuasive he is. So he has been working for years, in secret, with several of his close friends and allies; a group he calls "The Scarlet Architects." He knows that he [I]must [/I]know what the Lord of Blades is up to, but it would be irresponsible to send regular organics into his ranks, for they would be cut down instantly. Instead, he has spent the last two years developing surrogates: warforged bodies with no souls; instead, they have a more complicated form of messaging stone technology. In essence, these bodies can be controlled, at a distance, with no risk to the actual user. They are looking for a group to control these bodies, enter the Mournland, find the Lord of Blades, infiltrate his organization, relay information about what he is doing, and do what they can to stop him. The Architects include: Merrix d'Cannith, the de facto leader. He has been working on creating the most advanced warforged bodies for the surrogates. Solli Remmick d'Sivis, a female gnome wizard. She developed the communication magics that allow the surrogates to be controlled at a distance. Alston Gorbish, a male gnome wizard. He developed the cloaking magic necessary to keep the surrogates from appearing to be anything other than regular warforged, and is currently developing protection magics to defend the surrogates. Reinhardt, a deva avenger. He has a lot of experience fighting in the war, and is working on two fronts. First of all, he is working with Merrix to shore up any weak spots in his surrogates and make them as durable as possible. He is also going to train the users in surrogate use and general combat. Chaloe Oldman, a changeling rogue. Chaloe usually takes the form of a portly old man, and used to be a master (mistress?) of political espionage. She will train the users in spying techniques, and how to survive deadly situations unharmed. Lord Johann, a human warlock. Johann is a very rich man. He made a deal with several devils when he was young, which led to him gaining a lot of power, a lot of influence, and a lot of money. He is backing the organization financially.
