Campaigns

Hey, do you local guys wanna run the Undead Hunter campaign again (with properly calculated critter CRs )? Or would you like to start a new more generalized campaign?

I'd play it again. Although I would like to firmly set house rules on it before we start. For example, I didn't much care for the wound points system. And I thought the monsters were killer tough. Of course, we all probably got enough xp to go up a couple of levels

Basically, I think an undead hunter game could be fun. I wonder if it would be more fun if we started with mid-level characters instead of low-level?

I wouldn't object to running a 10-15 (or higher) campaign.

As for wound points, we scrapped all that Unearthed Arcana crap last time. Just staight DND.

How about we play poltergeist-like critters. As in, we start at 30th level and instead of gaining experience, we lose experience. So, if we lose however many experience it takes to go from 29 to 30th, we are now 29th level instead.

This will make it easier on the DM. Instead of thinking up new and very difficult adventures every time we play, he would be able to make easier ones. As the time goes by.

Interesting.

I dunno about that, but Magic Items will be rare.

The only problem I would have with magic items being too rare is that, as I recall, a lot of undead require magic weapons to be hurt or to get past their DR. If we can't hurt them and they can hurt us... well, it would be a short game. We wouldn't really be undead "hunters" so much as fools who chase and then get eaten by undead

Player: "I stab it with my masterwork great sword. Natural 20 and I have a crit. 24 points of damage"
GM: "But wait. It is undead, so it is immune to crits, and you don't have a magic weapon, so your damage barely gets past its DR. It smiles, licks its lips and eats your head."

I mean, a Vampire has a DR of 10/silver or magic.

Really though, I think even a modern undead hunter game would be cool. I have a bunch of the Hunter books from White Wolf (which I haven't read a lot of) but always thought would be a fun game. Maybe a D20 Modern or Call of Cthulhu D20 version of that would be fun.

Ah, don't worry about that. You'll have what you need to vanquish the baddies. You just may have to go GET it.

And a bit further, I just got done watching a couple clips from Constantine, the movie based on the comic Hellblazer. Man, it looks good. I wants to kill me some demons... with a shotgun.

Yeah, we should all go see Constantine together some night.

hehehe. Doom d20.

I shall begin work on statting out the Cyber Demon.

Or we can scrap D20 all together, and play that Hunter game from White Wolf. Been awhile since I last played in that system. Had fond memories of it.
