Spawn of Khyber/LEB Judge
Initial recruitment has closed.
Who
A group of four to six adventurers. Party level will start at 6th.
What
An Eberron mystery and horror themed campaign based upon the recently released Expedition to Castle Ravenloft. Important: If you have played the original I6 (Castle Ravenloft) let me know as there are strong similarities between the two!
When
When the game starts, I plan on posting at minimum once ever other day, with one post per day a goal for me. This is to keep the game flowing and interest/momentum high. Players should endeavor to be able to follow a similar once-per or every-other day routine with the expectation that I will NPC inactive players (especially in combat).
Where
Here, of course! Here being ENWorld.
Why
Always loved Ravenloft and have been itching to give it a try. Do not have the resources to play it in RL.
How
Recruiting is now closed. This post will remain for archival purposes and in case recruiting is re-opened later.
To apply for a position, please provide a concept description of your character. This description is not a character sheet! Provide a background, primary role, quirks, and distinguishing abilities you foresee (and justification for them/how they play to your concept). In addition, provide a link to any games you have played in or run here on ENWorld, if any. All of these together will help paint a picture of your overall concept and how it would be executed. Keep in mind the Eberron-feel of your concepts, though players with no knowledge of Eberron can be brought up to speed as necessary.
To simplify the creation of concepts, the following will be allowed during final character creation: Core, the XPH, the Complete Series (including Psionics and Mage), the PHBII, the DMGII, all Eberron books, and Heroes of Horror. However, do not dwell too much on mechanics at this stage. Try not to go with too esoteric of a concept unless you can really justify it. Keep in mind that this game will not involve the Dreaming Dark, making Kalashtar a hard sell.
Players will be picked based upon the cohesion of the concepts to form a group (who will be presumed to have worked together before), and the "fun-to-play-with" factor of the ideas. The nature of the group (i.e., why they are together) can be determined as the game starts.
As stated, this is my first PBP game, though not the first I have DM'd. Be prepared for some initial road bumps.
Looking forward to it!

Well, I'm finally doing it. After a year on these boards, I've gone crazy enough to run a game!The dwarf was impeccably dressed, with a tasteful display of wealth and prosperity. A Kundarak scion, which made his delivery of a package all the more strange. That was the providence of House Orien. The dwarves were master of security, would not deign to be brought to the level of a hired courier. But, nevertheless, there he was, battered silver box in hand, a wax seal with a glowing sigil of a flaming crown warding the seam.
Patting the intricately engraved box lightly, the dwarf looks at you sternly, its manner business-like. "Our patron made it clear that this box be delivered securely and personally to your persons. Its sanctity is sacrosanct; thus, it can only be opened in our presence. In addition, we are to verify that its contents have not been observed, intercepted, or otherwise modified upon receipt. As you are the recipients indicated, let us finish this business."
With that, the dwarf hands the box over to you. It feels icy cold to the touch, and you feel an involuntarily shiver. Who sent it, and why?
That would have to wait for the opening.
