D&D 1E Leif's AD&D 1E Recruiting Thread

Rosco will share a smoke with Ellydd and inform him about all he knows of the elvis people.

 

[Leif]

Take your time and just inform us of when you are ready.

I could go for Tolkien mixed with Greyhawk mixed with Gamma World. As to starting locations I would look to less civilized areas of the world like the Bandit Kingdoms or the North. Do you have a starting adventure module in mind?

Bandit Kingdoms -- that's interesting! My first AD&D game here is set in the Hold of the Sea Princes, kind of a pirate hangout. I've not been using modules for my AD&D games here. Strictly hombrew, so far.

Elvis people?

Leif's AD&D Gamma Game, who? what? where? why?

Okay! Greyhawk, Flanaess it is! Bandit Kingdoms to start out, but I think we may move on to another locale after a bit. Now, I'm not really wanting to start at 1st level, because I don't want our magic-user(s) to be horribly crippled for awhile. How about 3rd or 4th level to start? [Characters to be created using DMG Appendix 'whatever-it-is' ("I" maybe?) that details those rules.] Actually, just now studying the Grayhawk map to get a feel for the area of the Bandit Kingdoms, I've been struck by some fresh ideas that I like very much, even though they may not mesh well with conventional Greyhawk wisdom. Let's have all PCs come from lands surrounding Nyr Dyv -- Shield Lands, Furyondy, Duchy of Urnst, and County of Urnst, or even the Duchy of Tenh. Two or even several can be from the same region, no problem, just wharever strikes each player's fancy. We'll say that the PCs have just finished a mapping assignment for a Lord in the Bandit Kingdoms who wanted a reliable chart made of his domain -- for reasons that didn't concern you, he said.

Again we have:

[Characters to be created using DMG Appendix 'whatever-it-is' ("I" maybe?) that details those rules.]

Are you referring to Appendix P: CREATING A PARTY ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT in the DMG that starts on page 225?

 

[Mallus]

Again we have:
howandwhy99,
DM_Wannabe,
wolfattack, and
steeldragons

That's everybody, isn't it?

Ahem...

 

[Leif]

Are you referring to Appendix P: CREATING A PARTY ON THE SPUR OF THE MOMENT in the DMG that starts on page 225?

That be the very one, yes!

Ahem...

Eeek, sorry! Added you to the list.

 

[Leif]

Appendix P, 1E AD&D DMG P. 225

One more thing about creating characters using Appendix P: I will roll or arbitrarily assign all magic items to the party, based on each player's stated desire of what he wants to try to have as starting gear. [But I may overrule certain of those desires, too.]

List of Players:
Mallus,
howandwhy99,
DM_Wannabe,
wolfattack, and
steeldragons

Incidentally, this looks to be the perfect size for an adventuring party. Therefore, I hereby officially declare that Recruiting for this game, Leif's AD&D Gamma Bandit Kingdoms game, is CLOSED.

 

[howandwhy99]

Sounds good. So I should put together a character of advanced level? Then post it in the Rogues Gallery?

Appendix P is a bit peculiar, but I can go with that. Just let me know where else this is going.

 

[Leif]

You'll all need to put together characters of the appropriate level and post them here for approval before posting them in the RG. I'll need to give you the details of character generation forst , though. Just as quick as I decide what they are, that is....

 

[steeldragons]

So we're RE-rolling characters? I can't just take Ellydd and make him (according to Appendix P, if you want 3-4th level) a Cle/Ftr 2/2 with suggested magic items?
