Considering DMing a game... [Interest Check]

[Walking Dad]

Mhm. I'm aware you have been phasing into 4th WD. I just figure 3.5 DMing would be easier to start(since I've more experience with 3.5 and I have the 3.5 DMG while I lack the 4E DMG)

...

I'm also doing Pathfinder... and will continue to lurk here... maybe, if you just need one more... but it looks you already got a fine crew!

Well, I do *HAVE* most of those extra sources, so it'd be an issue of time.

Currently for Chargen, I am thinking:
PHB1 & Complete Warrior, Arcane, Adventurer, Scoundrel, Divine. Anything else is on a case by case basis, the crazier the less likely. As I gain experience I may expand this list.

Hm... Stats... 38 Point Buy (I am aware this is stronger than average. I am planning to adjust to this as I see things going.)

...

I would also suggest the PH2. Any reason why you allowed both 'rogue' books, but only the first of the casters?

Well, I always thought Complete Adventurer was more a generic adventuring book, and the main thing I tended to use from Complete Scoundrel was just the concealed weapons. I suppose I could allow complete mage as well. Complete Psionic I suppose too.

But a note to anyone who plays with me: I am not familiar with psionics and am not particularly fond of them... which may be just I did not want to learn another entire system or something, I'm not sure. PH2 can certainly be included.

May I suggest that you exclude psionics entirely unless someone really, really, really wants to play a psionic character?

That was kindof what I was getting at. I didn't want to say "You may not play Psionics" but I was trying to say, "I'd really rather not get into psionics..."

I'm lurking along with WD, and will join as needed.

But was just thinking why not a gladiators game for each system?

1st edition
2e
3e
4e
Pathfinder
Star Wars
Mutants & Masterminds
Dragon Age

the list goes on and on...

I think that would probably give everyone something..I would even play in the 4e one.

Because I'm only really familiar with 3.5... I am familiar with 4E as a player, but a DM is a whole different ballgame. Pathfinder I might be able to blunder around and do, but running that many games would break my brain, with my schedule and the other games I am running.

No sorry I didn't mean for you to run them I meant to make them and have others tackle the running/playing.

Say I want to play out a fight with a certain monster in a game I'm running for Pathfinder. But first I could run it through the PF gladiator game and see how it plays out. I post in that thread (PF-GG) that I have a monster ready for any gladiators who wish to fight it. Then anyone a part of that thread could join with others to "tackle" it and we all get to play a little fight out.

Still developing and don't want to clog your thread I will think on this but I need to finish my LEW adventure first.

Ah, that makes more sense. I was like, "O.O you must be confident in my sanity." Anyhow, sounds like a decent idea if there's someone willing to run the various incarnations.

If it's any consolation, I don't want to play a psionic character.

Haha, good.
