[QUOTE="The Baron, post: 2129356, member: 19794"] "We should be close now." [I]The guide's lantern emits a weak light against the overcast night. Shadows dance among the fields of grain smothering you on each side of the tiny dirt road. Jannis, who says he's merely a messanger, hired you and your companions for a simple escort mission form Passage to Windshire, and with the War over and you without a job, it seemed like an easy way to make a 100 gold. He never mentioned why he needed an escort, however. And as the first rain drops fall on the dark dirt road, you begin to wonder why he would need such expensive protection.[/I] So I'm gonna give it a try. I've been waiting for an Eberron game to open for a while and it hasn't happened, so I've decided I'd try to run my own game. This will be my first attempt at DMing a pbp game, but with a little help from my players, I hope to make it an enjoyable experience for all. I'm looking for 4 to 6 players. I also plan to use this game as a chance to polish up my writing skills. I'm currently studying creative writing (screenplays), but I'd like to work on my prose some more. I'd love players who are on the same wavelength. In other, more pompous terms, I hope you have a good understanding of the english language and would enjoy taking the time to write more than just a sentence or two when you post - creative descriptions are encouraged! Also I post on average 4 to 5 times per week - sometimes more. Hopefully you would share close to this ROP (Rate of Postage). :) The setting is Aundair on the border of the Eldeen Reaches. The game will probably be more enjoyable if you pick someone native to one of those areas, though a fish out of water (or two) would also be fine. Expect a mix of outdoor adventuring and dungeon crawling, roleplaying and combat. I want to give every type of a character a chance to shine. The tone will be dark fantasy in a frontier setting (think Brotherhood of the Wolf with more dungeons and magic). You were in Passage (for whatever reason you come up with) when you were offered some quick, easy gold. You must help escort Jannis (he says he's just a messanger) from Passage to Windshire for 100 gp. Little did you know, 3 to 5 other adventurers were also hired. The trip along the Wynarn River was uneventful and you've gotten to know your companions a little bit. You docked this morning and have spent the entire day walking to Windshire. Now you're tired, it's dark, and it just started to rain - and why would your client need this protection? Now for the character creation rules: 2nd level character 28 points buy NO PSIONICS Any Basic or Eberron Race (except for Kalashtar) Moster Manual races will be allowed if they have a good back story I will allow ECL+1 races if they have a good back story 900 gp - if you want to blow all your money on one item, be my guest Books Allowed: PHB DMG MM "Complete" books (adventurer, warrior, etc - though I don't have arcane and divine and would need more info from players using material from those) Eberron Core book *Please keep you character confined to these books. If you try to add other material, don't expect to get approved.* I will approve characters once a player presents a character sheet AND background. You're second level, so you probably were involved with the War in some capacity. Feel free to work on the character and discuss options and party configuration (perhaps even character relationships or connections) with me and your fellow potential players. [/QUOTE]
