Hmmm...
So someone needs to step up and run a 3E Core Rules only (PH, MM, DMG) game with no ups or extras? Starting at first level? Maybe in a homebrewed world that's been around since the seventies? Perhaps veering away from the MM when it comes to adding some interesting monsters?
Perhaps it is time I started a message board game again, eh?
*edit*
I'd add a few restrictions though...
No Evil or Chaotic characters.
28 point buy creation process.
You'd be starting in a smallish town in a Primarily human-centric kingdom with some Gnomes, Dwarves, Half-Elves as possible alternate character races, so no full Elves, Halflings or Half-Orcs.
I'd like to have four players with one of each of the main classes represented but no Monks or Barbarians, please, as they just wouldn't fit what I'm thinking for this time around. We'd need one Cleric (or Druid), one Wizard (or Sorcerer), one Fighter (or Paladin or Ranger), and one Rogue (or Bard). I'd advise having most of them the main class since the alternate classes can be limiting in smaller groups, but it is up to you. You could always pick something else if you get kil... Nevermind...
