Sharn: Beneath The Towers OOC [FULL]

[Harvey]

Sharn: Beneath the Towers

I am looking to DM my first PbP and am looking to test out some Eberron adventures. This will be a campaign set in Sharn: City of Towers, and for those of you who have played in Eberron before, it will not involve the Forgotten Forge. The first two adventures are slated for the city itself, and after that, well, it depends on where the players take it.

While I have never DMed a PbP, I am currently playing in three, and have been in many, many D&D campaigns since 3.0 came out. For PbP, I am a big advocate of player interaction, so feel free to really get into your character’s skins. Ideally, I would like to stick to one post a day… most days I am available for multiple posts, but as any PbP player knows, there will be days where, as much as you might want, you find it tough to get a post in.

I am looking for a total of 6 players, but one slot has already been taken by Tyrlaan. I am looking for a balanced party, and will choose players based on that. I would ideally like some alternates as well. When submitting characters, please use the: following format. We will be using www.invisiblecastle.com to make dice rolls.

[Vargo]

I'm definitely interested.

I'll throw something together and get it up. Hmm... I'm thinking Druid, Human this time...

 

[D'arc DeWinter]

I'm interested as well. I'm thinking of a shifter ranger who makes his living as a bounty hunter.

 

[tyrlaan]

Oh yeah, I'm in. Will try to get a character together tonight.

 

[Two-Gun Kid]

I would love through my name in the hat as well. I am currently helping out at my folks house and don't have my books with me right now, but I do have them back at my place. I will be down here about a month, but after that I will have unlimited access to them. I am familiar with the races and the setting, so if you wouldn't mind helping me through the initial block, I promise I won't slow the group down once it gets rolling.

I do have access to a PHB and CW while I am here, so I could try to make something from what I have on hand. Maybe a gnomish swashbuckler or a warforged Samurai?

[Guest 11456]

I'm interested. Hmmm. Looking over the others choices it looks like either a rogue or arcane caster is needed. I'll give it some thought tonight. Probably arcane caster. Or possibly an artificer.

[P0L]

Name: Fixer
Race: Warforged
Sex: Male personality
Age: 5
Alignment: LN
Classes: Artificer 2
Background:

STR 8
DEX 14
CON 14
INT 16
WIS 10
CHA 13


Background

Fixer is a tall warforged but his frame is more slender and agile than the ones designed for front line fighters. Since he stepped out of the assembly line in Cyre he excelled in repairing damaged warforged and equipment behind the Karranthi front, his skills at handling and repairing arcane equipment grew with his experience.

When the war was over and Fixer was declared free, he decided to move to Zilargo, having heard of the great gnome artificers located there.



His secret obsession is the making of magical constructs, ultimately to understand the secrets of his race creation. He heard rumors of a still active forge in Sharn, so he decided to move to the City of Towers.

He has recently rented a little apartment in DeathGate, converted it to an arcane laboratory which he uses for research and to make the minor potions and scrolls he sells for a living. He is currently looking for a way to make his fortune, and for clues about the supposed forge.


You can usually find him working at his lab poring over a new magic item or experiment, wearing his ubiquitous leather apron, leather skullcap and a set of magnifying goggles.

Fixer is curious by nature and very interested in how the mind of flesh creatures works. More talkative and lively than your average butt-kicking ´forged, Fixer tries to get along with every race and calmly reason with those who fear his kind out of ignorance.

I've been itchin' to play a bard. I'm away from my books at the moment, but I'll try to have a writeup tomorrow.
