Wizards Chat has two open play rooms, and 4 dedicated play rooms. I can do Face-to-Face too, but I doubt most of you live in Salt Lake City. If you can suggest another chat network, I can move it. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Time will be from 5:00 pm PST to 8:00 pm PST. That's 3 hours.Is this based on the 3.0/3.5 d20 mechanic? How much?Yes. It is. I am using the 3.5 d20 Mechanic. But I am also allowing those who want to use BESM d20 as well (which is also based on the 3.5 d20 mechanic). I probably have to come up with Cybertech rules on my own, since I can't afford cybernet. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /> But everything else uses the 3.5 mechanic.What kind of classes are going to be available?All of the Core Classes from the Player's Handbook, plus Psion and Psychic Warrior. As well all the Base Classes from the D20 Modern game.When would you like to run it?I'm prepared to start now; but I'd like to create characters this weekend. Actual game play will probably start two weeks from now.How long would you like us to be able to commit for?Since I'm using American T.V. series format for this campaign, at least thirteen Episodes, realistically. A campaign based on an American T.V. series can actually run for at least 26 episodes for one season. So we are creating our own Television show in effect. The bonus is that our T.V. show is one that can't be canceled by any T.V. network executive. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />There are also seven roles to play, all Main Characters (from your perspective. You play your own Main Character). I will be playing the Antagonists (as well as all the other NPCs). These roles include:The Protagonist, who embodies the quest to fulfilling the series' particular goals. I.e. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Luke Skywalker, and Frodo in The Fellowship of the Ring, or Aragorn in Return of the King.The Antagonist is the hero’s opposite: this is the person directly in opposition to the Objective goals of the Hero. As DM, this is the best part I normally play. Examples include Rappan Athuk, the Dungeon of Graves; The Evil Empire from Star Wars (embodied by Grand Moff Tarkin, the Death Star, and the Emperor), on some level Gollum, and archetypically Sauron.The Guardian is the wise person who watches over the protagonist. They represent constancy, help and the straight path. Guardians typically have better experience, so they are of a significantly higher level than the protagonist or anyone else. Besides the Contagonist! Examples include Gandalf, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Giles.The Contagonist is a term that is from Dramatica and a very useful one in terms of this type of character. The Contagonist represents temptation, hindering and diversion ... the exact opposite of the Guardian. In other words, the the Contagonist can be as evil as you like! Examples include: The One Ring, Darth Vader, Sauroman, and Spike.The Skeptic is that character who is always certain that things are not going to work out. Examples include Han Solo and Gandalf on some level.The Sidekick is more than just supportive. A sidekick represents faith and support as well. Aragorn in The Fellowship of the Ring after the Fellowship was forged; the two droids from Star Wars, Samwise, Merry, and Pippin (from LotR), and Xander (from Buffy).The Logic or Reason Character primarily demonstrates thoughtful reasoning. I.E. Spock from Star Trek is archetypical as well as Princess Leia, the Scarecrow from The Wizard of Oz also represents Logic and Reason, and Elrond from LotR thinks with Logic and Reason.The Emotion is that character who values passion and feeling above all. Chewbacca is Archetypical of this character, along with Gollum and Gimli from LotR (Gollum is a complex character). Doctor McCoy's emotion balances Spock's logic ("Doctor McCoy, you must learn to govern your passions, they will be your undoing." vs. "Logic! The man is talking about logic. I'm talking about universal Armageddon!")So I'm looking for seven players who are willing to play seven player characters.</blockquote>
