I haven't DMed anything in awhile and I was thinking of maybe getting back into the game. I've been considering the options over the past few days - should I DM true20? D&D? Iron Heroes? d20 modern? - and I've decided that I'm interested in DMing an E6 game. (Basic rules for E6 can be found here)
Just poking around here to see if anyone would be interested in playing an IRC E6 game, probably sometime after noon PST on fridays or saturdays.
Setting would be a rather wild, undeveloped place - nothing real concrete and written in stone, so players can be from whatever kind of place they want with whatever kind of backgrounds they want. And if anyone wants to draw a map of everything, I'm all for it
Somehow, the players find themselves in a small sea shanty, a minor trading town going through hard times. Recently, the king of the kingdom died, leaving chaos in his wake, until a cabal of spellcasters came in power, trying to enforce order in the wild land. However, they seem to be more interested in enforcing their law than in upholding good... (Yes, I realize what this sounds like.)
Possible motivations for characters over the course of the campaign might be to help the new rule establish order in the chaotic countryside, or perhaps protect villages from their new, tyrannical ways. Or maybe establish a new order of their own! Of course, they don't need such lofty goals. There's brigands on the roads and pirates in the waters, and lots of gold to be had by protecting merchants and pilgrims and others against either. There's also some abandoned forts, pirate dens, and other locales, perfect to raid for treasure or to set up a new base of operations. There's also tales of uncharted, exotic islands to the south!
As far as character creation goes, it'll start at level 1, I guess 30 point buy, and you can use most anything found on www.d20srd.org. Just run it by me first.
Anyway, that's all for now! If anyone is interested, please reply in the thread.
Edit: Warning, I have been known to change rules to have fun!
