[Recruitment Full] [level 1 D&D] Storms of Change

[silentspace]

Storms of Change is a homebrew D&D campaign, set in a homebrew world.

You are in the Duchy of Rogan, in the Kingdom of Shillen. Rogan has been devastated by invasions from the Kingdom of Goruka every few years for the last few decades. The Duke was killed in a recent invasion. You have received a mysterious summons from the slain Duke's family to meet at Carodan, the last outpost on the ancient Trade Road to Goruka. The letter suggested signing up with a caravan as a guard to get there. The group is currently near the end of their caravan journey to meet the sender of the message.

The campaign started in October 2003. I'm planning this as a long-running campaign, with players advancing to high, even epic, levels. Posts are once/day on average.

There is a lot of adventuring, but it is all set against a backdrop of politics and intrigue. There are NPCs, groups, organizations, and nations, each with their own issues and agendas. There are plots and secrets to be uncovered, as well as alliances to be made or broken.

The current players and characters are:

Seonaid - Rowyn Elwick Doublelock Daergal Scheppen III - Gnome Bard
GPEKO - Filbert ‘Bert’ Wateryfoot - Halfling Cleric of Fharlanghn
Thels - Zanock - Orc Fighter
Hurricain - Devan Torington - Human Fighter (bow specialist)
Manzanita - Manzanita Sparrow - Grey Elf Wizard
Dimwhit - Aronai - Human Druid

Any class/race is ok, but what we need most is a rogue and ranger. Or maybe a fighter, monk, or psychic warrior. Everyone is still level one, with minimal equipment. You will be a little behind in experience, but otherwise on par with the others. Alignments are mostly neutral (lawful to chaotic), with some chaotic good thrown in.

Currently using 3.0. 32 point buy. Players start with PHB starting packages. Using WotC Core books, Psionics Book, and Splat books. 3.5 ranger is cool. All else with approval.

Deities are those listed in PHB.

There are also the following NPCs which can be played (which already come with some experience)

Dunathar Without Name - Dwarf Rogue
Alan Diagabon - Human Fighter
Etherial - Elf Necromancer

[Manzanita]

I think I'd be interested in this. I'm a daily poster & have been itching lately to start another game. Obviously the party needs a wizard, but I'm going to have to take a little time to work out a character concept.

 

[Hurricain]

I'm in how about a Ranger or druid. I can post daily too.

 

[Old Fezziwig]

I'm game. I'd be interested in playing a second arcanist (if that's fine with Manzanita) or a druid (if Hurricain plays a ranger). Otherwise, I'm open to suggestions.

Great! Welcome aboard, and I'll close recruitment.

 

[Thels]

Ahh, backup troops coming in Welcome aboard

 

[GPEKO]

Great ! That's good timing since I think we'll need new drivers for the caravan wagons pretty soon

Seriously, welcome, good to have you with us.

Silenspace, I'm guessing you will be dropping Etherial soon ? And by the way, it's Fharlanghn !

 

[silentspace]

Ok, so I'm dyslexic How the heck you pronounce that anyways?

Manzanita, Hurricain and Kajamba Lion - I get the feeling none of you need any help, but if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask

If you read the first part of the IC thread, you'll see that your mysterious benefactor has given you light warhorses, or riding dogs for small characters. Please include them in your write-ups.

We'll probably have you just ride up to the caravan as it passes your village, or something like that.

The current players have gotten some experience already (although I haven't given it out yet), but hardly any loot. I think we'll just start you new guys off at 0 xp and starting packages. A few hundred xp isn't going to make a difference soon anyway

Sounds good. I'll have a character up tonight. I think I'm going to start out as a Druid, looking to multi-class with Diviner eventually.

Edit: If Hurricain or Manzanita have clear character concepts already, I'll gladly work around them. I'm kind of looking at a seer of sorts, loosely based off of the Romantic poets (Wm. Blake in particular). Just so you know where I'm coming from...

Best,
