[QUOTE="Voidrazor, post: 3266111, member: 41605"] I'm interested in running a high level PbP game with some experimental features. The structure of the very homebrew world may take some effort to wrap one's brain around, but will allow PC's to have simultaneous interactions with each other across worlds. Hopefully this will help ameliorate the glacial pacing of PbP. Each PC would be an established member of a multidimensional society. Characters would have titular control of their own world (or similar resources). Although the Leadership feat itself won't be allowed, each PC will have a staff of spirits (outsiders, undead, etc.) chosen by the player. I'd like input from interested players before setting the CR distribution, however. Templates will be allowed on spirits but no class levels. My intent is for the game to be intrigue and RP. But given the power level of the campaign I expect a fair amount of creative and tactical use of kewl powerz will come into play. There may even be some PvP, but True Resurrection will be freely available and society's powers-that-be frown upon soul destruction/soul capture. This is a game for mature players only. Those who might be offended by profanity, graphic violence, or sex should look elsewhere. That said, PM me for permission before any post that involves non-consensual sex. Rape of other PCs will not be allowed under any circumstances. Instead of standard experience progression, characters will receive a major boon at the conclusion of each 'storyline' (or more often at DM discretion). The boon can take the form of and artifact, custom ability, powerful follower or something similar; player picked but subject to DM approval. Character Generation: -ECL 17 for full casters. ECL 18 for character with up to 8th level spells/powers. ECL 19 for up to 7th ... ECL 21 for characters with spells/powers of 5th level or below. -40 point buy -Standard wealth by level, with 980,000gp at 21st. -Max HPs at 1st, 50% after that. Round up on even level and down on odd ones. -Subject to DM approval/adaptation any 3.5/3.0 d20 resource is allowed. This includes Dragon and non WotC products. This also includes D20 Future stuff, just ask me for pricing. -Submission of custom material is also encouraged so long as it isn't broken. Physical augmentations that don't stack with polymorph/shapechange will come with a signifigant price reduction. -Certain items will have adjustments to their price. Grafts will be cheaper, rods of absorption will be much more expensive. -No pre-game crafting with the exception of an artificer's crafting reserve. Character Submission Guidelines: This is not a first come first served game. Characters will be selected on various criteria most notably, how well the character concept fits the world and perceived posting reliability. Feel free to go fairly nuts on the stat crunch. But please clearly explain any "dirty tricks" being used. No recursion or 'nanobot' builds. I will probably give extra stuff to less optimized build to help address balance issues. Again, custom material, especially races, is ecouraged. But the goal of custom stuff should be flavor not power. Let me know if you have read any novels set in post-scarcity worlds. Examples include Walter Jon Williams [B]Aristoi[/B] and John C. Wright's [b]Golden Age[/b] trilogy. Both are highly recommended as background material. PC's are expected to be at least mildly proactive. Charactersubmissions should include an [B]agenda[/B] as well as the standard background personality etc. [/QUOTE]
