Durham/RTP (NC) fantasy game?

[cstyle]

I think 4 is a good number of players to have actually, especially for a during-the-week game.

Well good. Wanna play?

Hey, who knows?

How about some details: approximate location, play day, game system, campaign world, nature of other players, etc.?

Absolutely. We're going to play in Cary, by the Dairy Queen on Walnut St. I believe it's a block from Barnes and Nobles, if you don't know where the DQ is. It's looking like game day will be monday, every other week, roughly from 7 to 10pm. The day and time is not in stone, but that's where I'm leaning right now.

The game system will be DND 3rd Edition, with a handful of house rules. Nothing too crazy in the house rules, just a little extra flavor. Being someone who loves source books, I will allow you to bring in elements (feats, spells, prestige classes, etc) from other d20 games, as long as it fits your character's story. (Subject to my approval of course!) We haven't gotten started yet, so everyone will be starting at square one.

The world, at least where you will start, will resemble western european culture, however, there are other cultures in the world that you will encounter sooner rather than later. In fact, I'm allowing players to play a character from the orient, but they will definitely be a stranger in a strange land. The western european area I liken to a cross between Forgotten Realms and Robert Jordan's Wheel of Time. The asian lands bare a strong resemblance to Rokugon. In the lands where the game will start, there is a strong dislike of arcane spell casters. Wizards and sorcerors do exist, but they are not open about it, and many are seedy in nature. However, there are lands where arcane spell casters are accepted.

Are far as the players go, we have a pretty good group of guys, we're just small in numbers. We are friends, and are actually fairly non-geeky as far as RPGers go. If you'd like to talk about it some more, we could meet in durham for lunch sometime. Let me know.

Sounds like you are right by where I play my Thursday night game of Mutants & Masterminds?! Group sounds good as well. I'll have to see, Monday may be the night the Conan game I want to run has to be run on, due to other conflicts...

I'm a little late joining this thread, but my husband and I run a game in Durham, NC. It's currently set in Greyhawk and run by 3.5, but we'll have a King Arthur campaign starting up around May if you're interested.

Well, I'm still trying to get my own game started. (I just need an additional player.) I don't have time to run my own game and play in someone else's. Would you and your husband have any interest in joining my game?

players

same with me. I have a couple of campaigns i want to run, i just need more players. We have two guys but could use some more energy, ideas, fun, etc...

Ack, hadn't been on this site in a while!

Looks like there are four GMs with a smattering of players, but not enough here for everyone What to do, what to do...

Cstyle's already described his game, how about the others doing the same, maybe some groups can get worked out?

Conan RPG:

Adventure in the land of Hyboria, Conan’s world! The Conan RPG is an OGL game system, substantially similar to d20/D&D, but with new and improved combat options and a spell system tailored to swords and sorcery (based on the Slaine RPG magic system). Seeking players for a Conan RPG game. Details:
 Weekday evening game (probably Monday or Wednesday)
 Looking for players in their mid-20s and up (professionals = good, freaks = bad!)
 Game to be run in Southeast Durham, off Fayetteville Road (Exit 276 from I40, the same exit as Southpoint Mall)

I'm looking to run a semi-episodic game of Conan for a relatively smaller group looking for swords & sorcery adventure!
