Cool. Thanks! Rayburn said he was going to switch from SlateGray to Silver, did that not happen? I suppose it doesn't matter, since wysiwyg (who was using SlateGray) dropped out, too. Edit: Comparing colors, it appears that Zaset used Silver for Rayburn while he was around, and you used...

I'd be willing to take him over or come up with a new noble. I'm new to pbp, but I'd like to give it a shot, and it looks like you aren't in too deep yet.

Which timezone? Are you looking for people that can play multiple days per week? Edit: Oh, wow. I just noticed that this thread was started 9/9 of last year... and baratus114 hasn't been seen since. Oh, well.

I don't think that they should be limited at all. A boatload of 2nd level spells isn't going to change the world, even in E6. Given that some of the suggested "capstone feats" from the first post grant a spell known or slot of the character's highest level, it would seem that other think that...

I hate to say this, but I've found that playing in a group with evil characters (or even neutral characters with a strong evil streak) totally ruins the game for me. If that's the direction the group is going to take, I'm going to have to bow out. That said, I do have a few character concepts...

I'd love to see how E6 plays out, so I'm interested if you play Saturday afternoons. I'm in Utah, so I'm an hour ahead. I'm pondering a few different characters. Let me know if you'd like me to post more here or what. Also, have you thought of using MapTool? I haven't used it very much (or...

I favor www.popularcollections.com and www.frpgames.com. I've had good experiences with both. I've also purchased from ebay once or twice. You can check out these archived threads for other ideas: Where to get individual D&D minis? Using Miniatures

I'll second this. It's awesome.

I had considered something like that, but "these fun low levels" as you call them aren't as fun for me as 5th-6th, and that progression doubles the amount of time it takes to get to the "really fun levels". Granted, I'm leaning toward E8 rather than E6, too. It's important to remember some of...

Both IE and Firefox opened them without problem for me. I should point out that the "Save target as..." option that I prefer doesn't work--that tries to save attachment.htm or attachment.php instead. I had to open them in a browser (the Save As... option was available once they were there...

I've yet to play or DM a game past 13th, for that very reason. Still, I enjoy the lower levels, especially the 5-9 range, a lot. I am still hoping to run an E6 or E8 game, since that addresses the level concern, and the feat-heavy nature of E6/E8 would make a Feat Compendium very valuable...

I've used this for mooks, and I like it--much faster. Sure, it means that occasionally they all live or they all die, but, well, they're mooks. For named bad guys I stick with the individual saves.

We play on a weeknight, usually 6:30pm or so until 10 or 11pm. Which weeknight varies depending on schedules. On occasion we play Saturday afternoon instead. We usually only schedule one game at a time (so at each game we figure out the schedule for the next).

It's been nearly a year, so here's a bump. We're about to start a new campaign (undecided thus far on particulars), and there are two players besides myself. I'll be DMing next unless we find someone else that want to. As before, respond here or e-mail me at knight_isa(at)hotmail[dot]com.

If I can talk my players into it, I'm thinking I'll start with E6 (hard cap, not lean-upwards). We're about to start a new, thus-far-undecided campaign anyway. We'll run it until about 6+5, and evaluate it. If we're happy, we'll continue with E6, but if not, we'll bump it up to E8 (adding...

On a somewhat related note, I'm wondering if these feats are really balanced for E6: While stonger than the equivalent WotC feats, they're probably still okay for a normal d20 campaign. In fact, they're probably a little weak unless you wait until 18th level or so to take them, since that...

I was under the impression that E6 was purposely lopsided, the idea behind it being that ~6th level was the "sweet spot" for rycanada and his group (and obviously others as well). The earlier levels are just there to provide backstory for the "epic" 6th level characters, and the later feats are...

Of course no one would ever take Fighter-7 in E7, and you'd still have to change GWF and Improved Crit if you wanted to allow them.

Just because I'm pondering the relative benefits of E6 vs. E8, what sorts of feats should be allowed in terms of the "lean upwards" approach in E6? This is less of an issue for E8, since if I took that path I'd make 8th a hard cap, and stick with existing feats. These are some class abilities...

Druid is okay, since they get Large wildshape. For the other full spellcasters, though, unless they're metamagic junkies it makes the last level or two much less desireable. If you use the E6 version of Extra Spell I think you'd see a lot of full-caster-6/something-else-2. If you use the...
