I'm likewise confused.
Also, I have a little threadjack to cross-post..... Is anyone, perchance, interested/available for a Sunday evening (9 pm Eastern Standard Time, 6 pm Pacific) 3.5 D&D campaign over OpenRPG (a freeware virtual tabletop program)?
I recently tried to start a new campaign but most of the folks recruited for that campaign were from the WotC boards, and pretty much lost interest or stopped paying attention the week after their characters were finished, before the game even started. :^( Two of the potential players from another game have been too busy and can't join the campaign as previously expected. Which leaves only 2 active players right now, a lizardman blue-dragon shaman (LN) and a half-black-dragon/elven ranger (CN; with gradual acquisition of his half-dragon traits, rather than all at once). Meaning the group is short on everything but melee brutes.
It's starting at 1st-level, fairly open-ended in the materials allowed, but not quite everything allowed. Includes use of 3.0 Oriental Adventures and the Dragon Magazine update for OA to 3.5 (rather than the poorly pseudo-revised OA classes in the Complete X series). Campaign is called Fall of the 14th Kingdom, and takes place in a sort of isolated nation, Rinkai Tsukari (mostly oriental in theme, but actually a mix of people from other kingdoms). Has the potential to swing toward either a heroic focus or a villainous focus.
The campaign setting in use is The 13 Kingdoms, and this particular campaign takes place several hundred years in the past, with much more exotic stuff available in the campaign than the norm for T13K. Not a very complex setting, but interesting. The setting guide PDF is freely available, but the T13K website is more or less nonfunctional right now, so I would just e-mail the PDF to anyone interested.
T13K's forums are hosted on EN World, in the Hosted Forums section of course, and my main threads for this campaign are there. The "RECRUITING: Fall of the 14th Kingdom" thread, in the Questing For Adventure subforum of the Members section, has the basic details.
