    Players wanted! (You pick the campaign!)

    I’ve finally decided that I’m going to run a PbP campaign here at EN World. Problem is, I’m not sure what to run. Actually, that’s not completely true, my first choice was a True20 Freeport game, but I couldn’t drum up enough interest, so I had to toss it. So, rather than post up my other...

    Guardsmith's True20 Freeport game -[Recruiting]

    RPoL? I assume that's Role-Play onLine (rpol.net)? I'll have to check it out. Thanks, Karl.

    EN World New GMs, players, read the first post in this thread! (updated 5/21)

    I just wanted to post that my (Guardsmith's) True20 Freeport game has been canceled due to lack of interest. :(

    Guardsmith's True20 Freeport game -[Recruiting]

    Well, I think that officially kills the campaign. Everyone (save you Karl) who was at one time interested in it has now said they can't do it, and no other interest has been expressed. (I wonder why not; was it the True20 or the Freeport? Or neither?) Anyway, thanks for your interest Karl. I'm...

    Guardsmith's True20 Freeport game -[Recruiting]

    Yeah, too quiet. I'm going to send some PMs to see if people are still interested. If not, this campaign may be stillborn. I'll keep you posted. In the meantime, don't spend too much time thinking about a background, as you may not get to use it.

    Guardsmith's True20 Freeport game -[Recruiting]

    This was my thinking, too; I was just trying to figure out which one I should use. I've mulled it over for a bit. and I've decided to go with choice (B) with this breakdown: Adepts get 120gp, Experts get 200gp and Warriors get 240gp (BTW Karl, Scott was right, 3.5 Fighters get 240 starting...

    PCs will start at first level.

    Guardsmith's True20 Freeport game -[Recruiting]

    Its good to see that people are interested enough to buy the rules, and I hope you will be just as interested after you buy them. And yes, Thanos, Friday is soon enough. :) As for your question, Karl, in general, I would say that warriors and experts who want to "dabble" in the supernatural...

    Guardsmith's True20 Freeport game -[Recruiting]

    Character creation info, part 1 I don't have as much time as I thought tonight, but here are a couple of things to think about while contemplating characters. 1. I'd like this to be a world where humans are the only race that's known (for now). Also, supernatural experiences are uncommon...

    Guardsmith's True20 Freeport game -[Recruiting]

    You got it, Phantos. GR also has a "True20 Pocket Players Guide " I don't own it but its supposed to have everything a True20 player needs. Scott, if by "similar to GURPS" you mean that it's a generic system that can be used for any genre then yes, it is similar to GURPS.

    Guardsmith's True20 Freeport game -[Recruiting]

    Wow! Interested people! :D That's great! I'm so encouraged! Thanks guys! Anyway ... for those who are interested, but don't have the rules ... unfortunately, I can't think of what you can do without them. True20 and d20 are quite different, and True20 doesn't have an SRD. There is a cheaper...

    Guardsmith's True20 Freeport game -[Recruiting]

    Hi everybody, I’m looking for 4-6 PCs for a play-by-post game set in Freeport (by Green Ronin) and using the True20 system with a few house rules thrown in. Anyone interested? The setting would be late Medieval/early Renaissance with medium to low “magic.” (I say “magic” because, as anyone...

    Save My Game

    This is part of the problem. Because their actions in past games have led to character death, they are extremely cautions. They do everything possible to make sure that they aren't snuck up upon, ambushed, surprised, etc. Nothing bad can ever happen to their characters without them griping...

    Save My Game

    Everyone has good suggestions, but my players will counter them. If the guards call them crazy, they say "Well, we'll wait and see who is right." If I send only two low level watchmen with them, they b*tch that they are only getting two low level guys and demand more help. If conscripted...

    Save My Game

    Their reply is that they'd rather have less XP than have to make a new character.

    Save My Game

    Nothing, I guess, but it's not very heroic in my mind. Plus, it completely throws out of balance the encounter I had planned. Now the PCs will overwhelmingly win, and the players will complain that the game is boring ...

    Save My Game

    The problem is more GM vision vs. Player vision, I think. Example: PCs know BBEG has the evil artifact and is going to use it to take over the city. He's at the temple right now performing the ritual. Instead of rushing in and trying to stop it by themselves, they run to the City Watch and...

    Save My Game

    The recent Save My Game over at the WotC site (www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/sg/20070126) brought up an issue that has been plaguing games I have been DMing/GMing for a while now. Essentially, my idea of how the game should be played and the way the players have been playing it has come into...
