[QUOTE="Lord_Raven88, post: 3514930, member: 31975"] Are you interested in participating in a solo adventure where you get to create and play your dream character, in a world that is responsive to the actions of your character. A game where the 'adventures' are designed around the goals and aspirations of your character, where you get to choose the exactly path and direction of your character from low levels to any height you choose. [b]Well so am I.[/b] Basically I'm offering some luckily [s]sucker[/s] person out there the use of my DMing skills to do practically any sort or solo campaign that [b]you[/b] want. That's right you get to decide what the character creation guidelines are, you get to decide what setting you want to play in, you get to decide how quick or slow level advancement is. etc etc Basically my role would be to help you flesh out the story that you want to pursue, and to handle all of the rules and stuff. Also just to clarify just because this starts out as a solo adventure that doesn't mean that this will necessarily remain a solo adventure, if you decided to team up with a group of like-minded people, then instead of me portraying them I might decide to recruit other players to take cameo roles (both as friends and foes) especially if your want to overthrow some arch-villain, I think it would be fairer (and more fun) to have someone else portray this role. __________________________________________________ But there is a catch! (Isn't there always) You have to be willing to do the same for me. Basically I've had one of those ideas knocking around my head for a while; [i]What would it be like to RP a unique Black Dragon from Hatchling to Great Wyrm and possibly beyond.[/i] Normally trying to portray such a concept would be differcult to say the least, especially since such a character would be underpowered compared to other non LA heavy concepts. Also I think the whole LA vs CR system is way out of wack, and that trying to play such a character would mean going up against things that are way to tough or way to easy to deal with. Besides in a real world the majority of encounters/people should be low to mid level at the maximum. Whereas adventurers always seem to have encounters with those of similar power. So if my Mature Adult Black Dragon decides to try and sack and eat a few villages, a group of four 14th level characters won't necessarily magically appear to battle him. Sure the local rulers might eventually try and recruit such a group to take him down, which is fair enough and perhaps even logical. Assuming that such a group of high powered characters actually exist. ~~~~ Basically I want to accurately and realistically portray the rise (and possible fall) of a slightly different hatchling black dragon to a powerful ruler of vast empire as a Great Wyrm. Reading Blackdirges accounts of the lives of Nithrekel the Earth Mephit, Urg the Unlikely, Hargash the Orc Warrior, Myrgle the Gnoll Adept, Hazergal and Grummok really inspired me to try this out. And since I'm not a particularly good writer and I thought it would be more fun if the outcome is fluid and not predetermined I finally came up with the idea of doing this in the form of a solo adventure.
