Eberron: The Plumbers OOC

EBERRON: THE PLUMBERS IC THREAD

So I really love Eberron since I was introduced to it in 4E, but I've never really had any luck with getting a game going since then (and it didn't last long!) I thought I would wait and see if anyone on ENWorld would offer a game after Rising came out, but no one has, so I figured I'd just have to do it myself then. Maybe start with the adventure in Rising, or maybe one of the other opening adventures (4E, or Forgotten Forge? I'm open to suggestions). Or we can discuss other options.

Game system will be 5e. Official products only. I figure 4-6 players is a good group. Speed will generally be a post from the GM at least once a week, more likely twice or three, depending on RL and RP vs Combat.

No need to work up a full character yet, but pitch an idea, if interested, and not just character ideas, either. If there's something about Eberron you really like, maybe throw it out there and we can see what we can do with it.

Never had the opportunity to play Eberron, but I’ve always found the basic concept intriguing, so I’d be interested in joining. Time to hit the books!

 

[JustinCase]

Yes please!

I'm working up an Eberron campaign myself, but with all the RL stuff going on it won't be soon. I would love to play in yours and I can save you a spot for when mine starts, eventually?

I love the daelkyr and the overlords, so anything with them is a big plus for me. And the Mournlands and Xendrik. I'm not too familiar with the various Eberron adventures so can't help you there. (My idea was to just convert one of the Tales of the Yawning Portal ones to fit in the setting. Maybe you can, too?)

Character pitches:

• a dwarf warlock who fled his clan in the Mror Holds because he draws on the powers of Xoriat or the daelkyr to increase his own power; or
• a warforged cleric of the Wanderer or Moon druid, obsessed with keeping his plating clean; or
• a Sharn bugbear rogue/fighter seeking a new job opportunity after being fired as a bouncer for taking 'bouncing' too literal.

 

[Olrox17]

Character pitches:

• a dour Valenar elf, dragged on the unusual path of paladinhood (oath of ancients) by a strange ancestor spirit, who was a worshiper of the Silver Flame tens of thousands of years ago.
• an eccentric half orc ranger with the mark of finding, roaming the countryside on his cart, selling his services as tracker, prospector, dentist, veterinary, and monster hunter.

Should I come up with more ideas, I'll edit this post.

I haven't really thought much about Eb since the original hardcover came out in 3.x times. But I'm game. Rising, need to find out where that is....

 

[Kaodi]

I am not really looking to play 5e anymore online, but I still think Eberron is a worthy setting - I have all the original edition books, though I have not cracked any of them in years. Maybe one day I will figure out a solution for playing it in PF2 - other than the "make do with what we have" approach, like alchemist w/ wizard dedication for artificer. Good luck with this game.

 

[KahlessNestor]

So that's three players interested. We can definitely run with that, but let's see if we can pick up a fourth.

I adore Eberron, and I would like to do a game in it.

If you are still taking character ideas, I have some:

• A small-time House Lyrandar Pilot, who was experimentally bound to an elemental in an attempt to gain more favor with his house. He has begun to have doubts about the procedure. (Half-Elf Mark of the Storm, with a Warlock Pact of some flavor)
• A Kobold Artificer from Darguun, doing journeyman work across the lands, looking to pick up all kinds of tricks of the trade and nifty doodads, in the hopes of eventually establishing a proper trade school back home.
• A middle-aged House Jorrsco Doctor from Karrnath, who has recently become enamored with the philosophy of The Blood of Vol ( Mark of Healing Halfling Necromancer)

 

[jmucchiello]

I don't have any preference for location. I haven't played a battlemaster yet. So maybe a fighter.

 

[JustinCase]

I think the warforged druid is what I’m most interested in. A gentle giant who loves the little birds and critters, and children. Sort of like Callibretto from the Battle Chasers comics (and video game).

 

[jmucchiello]

Does a warforged druid turn into a "robot" wolf and a "clockwork" eagle?

 

[JustinCase]

Ha! Wasn’t planning on it, but it would be cool.

I'm picturing Team Four Star's interpretation of Android 16. I can't help it.

 

[mfloyd3]

Got room for one more? Haven't done PBP in a while but have been thinking of getting back in.

Character pitches:

An Aundairan human wizard. A noblewoman who served in the Last War and came home to find that her ancenstral lands had been sacked. She is out adventuring in an attempt to earn enough money to rebuild her estate and make is profitable again.

An unmarked Cannith Artificer who was denied advancement in the House because he was born without a dragonmark. He struck out on his own, committed to making his own fortune and leaving his disdainful family behind.

A goblinoid (Goblin, Hobgoblin, or Bugbear) originally born in Sharn. The character was disillusioned by what he saw there, and forfeited any chance of acceptance when he spoke out against what he believed were injustices. Has now fled and is trying to make a life on the road. Class and specific race TBD, can fill in a gap in the party.

Possible twist on the above: A Goblinoid Bard who seeks to rediscover the ancient secrets of the Dirgesingers.

Let me know. Thanks, M

 

[Leatherhead]

Oh, for an interest:
Warforged Colossi, those things are cool.

 

[KahlessNestor]

Does a warforged druid turn into a "robot" wolf and a "clockwork" eagle?

According to official answers, no. They turn into regular animals, like any other druid.

 

[KahlessNestor]

We've got 5 players interested, so I think we can make a start. Let's start putting characters together.

[Olrox17]

I think I'm leaning more towards the half orc (mark of finding) ranger. A couple of questions before I start delving in character creation.

• Are we starting at level 1?
• What is your stance on Unearthed Arcana playtest material? I'd be intrigued to try some of the ranger options in the Class Feature Variants UA. I'm aware you said official products only in the first post, so feel free to say no.

 

[KahlessNestor]

Sorry, no Unearthed Arcana. I'm not wanting to adjudicate things WOTC should already have worked out.

Starting at Level 1. Attributes are 4d6 drop the lowest, slot them how you want. (Roll in this thread). If you don't like what you rolled, you may choose to take the Standard Array. One roll attempt only.

 

[jmucchiello]

Roll in this thread? ENWorld no longer has a die roller. (They're working on it.)
