Cabal, City of Factions D&D 4E recruiting now!

[silentounce]

Is this group still recruiting? I'm interested in playing a warlord, but of course, I'm open to other things. Not sure about race yet.

 

[Jack of Tales]

It is still recruiting. I had given up hope on getting a group until after the books are out although I had originally hoped to start the Rping part early.

I've been updating the site at least once a week and now it's chock full of information and various bits of trivia. You can find more information on the two games there

Site again so you don't have to search : http://cabalcity.wetpaint.com/

There are two games recruiting, both located under the Campaigns tab. One a typical cooperative, the other competitive.

Tell me what you think of the setting! I hope you like it and hope to see you in one of the groups when 4E is out!

 

[SoulsFury]

I'm still down to play, you've been mia over over on the boards the last week. Dragonborn warlord unless the faction being played is children of the storm, then I'll probably be elven warlock.

 

[Bialaska]

I'm definitely interested in joining. Primarily I'd prefer the cooperative game, though I can be in the competitive too.

As for the character it depends of the faction chosen. Some factions are just primarily one race. I am leaning towards someone to fill the role of Striker though.

Comeback

Ah sorry for the long delay, I have been far too busy this last two weeks to get online. Well I am back and looking for recruits. If for the cooperative game a consensus is too difficult to reach since it seems no one wants to throw their hat in one direction or another we will default with the Union as they are the largest and can easily include all concepts.

So, this is both a bump to re-attract attention and a reply to those who have responded in the past. If you have your books state which game you would like to join and post the character. I will accept tries for both games although separate characters are required for that.

The rules for what's required for the character should be in the first post, if not they are on the wiki but if you need them extrapolated just ask. Let me see those submissions!

 

[Walking Dad]

Hi, I'm still interested in playing an Eladrin or Tiefling Wizard.
I got all three corebooks.
I will post the character later (I have to reread the wiki).

Short question: Which abiliy generation method we will use?

Standard array, point-buy or rolled?

I would prefer point-buy

 

[Jack of Tales]

Pointbuy all the way.

 

[Contrail]

I only started looking for 4E games here recently, but this one has an interesting premise so I decided to submit a character for your game. Hopefully I've provided enough information (and formatted it correctly for you) but if you have any further questions I'll do my best to answer them.

Character for Another Day in Cabal

Union Faction

Elven Fighter

Description: Standing 5'8" tall and weighing 145 lbs., Corande is lithe but muscular like a dancer. Her dark brown hair is braided in the front to keep it out of her face, but otherwise falls loosely to her waist. Her deep blue eyes are watchful, and her skin is lightly tanned. Her facial features are well-formed but are usually set in a serious, almost grim, expression. When on duty as part of the Corps, she is usually found wearing her armor and weilding her glaive with elegant grace and precision. Off-duty, she tends to wear comfortable clothes that have a certain elegant simplicity in shades of silvery gray and deep blue, accented with black embroidery in a variety of natural motifs.

Personality: She tends to be serious and somewhat reserved, but is also alert to her surroundings and sensitive to other's moods. She has an idealistic view of the Union faction's goals, and is very dedicated to her duties. Protecting others from harm is also important to her, particularly those she has allowed herself to grow close to. She doesn't relax often, but when she does echoes of the joyful and life-loving child she once was appear, only to be closed away again once the break is over and it is time for her to return to her duties. What ultimately drives her is a deep sadness over her brother's death that has lead her to want to keep similar tragedies from happening to others. She distrusts members of the Hand of Bone and the Silver Wolves, since she hold those factions responsible for her brother's death.

Background: Corande moved to Cabal as part of a group of elven settlers from Rhenquist when she was still a child, along with her parents Cardoc and Irella and her older brother Rhodan. The settlers attempted to establish a home for themselves but never found a place to call their own. During these wanderings, several members of the group were killed, including her older brother, who was an incidental causalty of a fight between members of the Hand of Bone and the Silver Wolves. When the alliance that formed the Union was proposed, Corande encouraged her parents to support joining the alliance. The group of elven settlers she was a part of signed the Allied Treatise of Cabal along with many other groups.

When she was old enough, Corande joined the Centralization Corps and determinedly trained to gain the skills needed to help protect the Union faction and those she holds dear. Her dedication did not pass unnoticed, and she is expected to be a rising star in the Corps. She still keeps in touch with her parents, some of the other members of the original group of settlers she belonged to, and the people she trained with to join the Corps. She also might be able to get assistance from her superiors in the Corps, depending on the circumstances.

Born: April 26th, N.R. 92

Goals: Protecting the Union faction, Making Cabal a safer place in general, Lessening the fighting between factions

As a player, I'm most interested in a mix of fighting enemies and investigating mysteries of various sorts.

Erwin Hue, good male human Wizard 1

Campaign: Another Day in Cabal

Faction: Union

Erwin is generally easy-going. He tries to do the right thing and help other people, but his motives are not always pure as he likes to take the credit for doing so. He is eager to learn more about magic, as well as to improve his fighting skills and to gain the respect of other people and power over them.

Erwin grew up in a much smaller town many miles from Cabal, though he got the impression that he may have been born in Cabal. It was obvious from a young age that he had both interest in magic and the talent for it. He was given the opportunity to study magic and learned to hunt as well. He recently came to Cabal in order to further his studies, and soon found his way to the Third Precinct. He has been befriended by one of the Retiro Marksmen, Grant Reed, and he suspects this man may be his real father but hasn't asked as he's not sure and doesn't feel it should matter.

Recently he has been plagued by recurring dreams about murdering a young woman. Every time it happens a different way but it is always the same victim. He does not believe he has ever seen this woman in real life, and is horrified by the thought that he might one day meet her. He does not think it is based on a memory as he knows of no such murder.

What I want: 1) A fun, interesting game including RP, combat, and thinking; 2) To determine whether 4e is in fact D&D, and in any case whether it is any good as a RPG.

Appearance: Erwin is 6' tall, light skinned but with dark brown hair, thin but handsome.
