[QUOTE="Deuce Traveler, post: 4983407, member: 34958"] I'll change this initial post as my thoughts evolve... Anyway, this is a bit of an experiment that I plan to run using 3.5e, some suspension of disbelief when it comes to historical events, a number of very short adventures from my personal collection, and The Canterbury Tales by Chaucer. We'll start with 1st level characters from 3.5e and you can play any race, but with the caveat that you will have the option to consider some races still a human character but with a diverse background. So you might play an elf, but consider him for character purposes a Briton who happens to be slim, agile, and sees well enough in the dark. Or you can still play the elf and we'll make it that humans see the character as suspicious, but are not outright hostile. This is where the suspension of disbelief will come in, so bear with me. For some reason, the characters are all in Damascus during the year 1386 and will making a two year pilgrimage through Europe and to Canterbury Cathedral. The leader of the caravan is a rich merchant, and he knows all the trade locations to journey to as he's made this journey several times. The other characters will have diverse backgrounds and faiths, as the route travelled is a known trade route with more open-minded populations. Some characters will be religious pilgrims, some diplomats, some traders, some soldiers for hire to defend the long caravan, and so on. The adventures will all be chosen from the WOTC website and from Penumbra's En Route series. Because of the shorts and the caravan journey, we will be able to swap out characters seemlessly as they will have a mobile base of operations. Therefore, there will not be an overall plot hook. Anyways, let me know if you like the idea. All books, classes, and races allowed, but I can shoot anything down if I think it is unbalanced. Honor system, roll three characters, 4d6 and drop the lowest and reroll 1s, then take the best of the three characters rolled. 125 gp each. [/QUOTE]
