Message: <blockquote data-quote="Dark Eternal" data-source="post: 770306" data-attributes="member: 7932">Very good question.  I do allow ECL races, although I generally tend to prefer that exotic races not outnumber core races in any given party.  I am, however, almost always willing to make exceptions for the sake of a good character.  Of the resources you mentioned, I've had the chance to study in detail all except the Monsters of Faerun and the FRCS; although I do have access to these, I've never really examined either closely.Of the others, I am most in agreement with Savage Species, so I would suggest using it as a primary resource for exotic race selection. And, I'd be more than happy to have you.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I'd also be glad to have Calim, Keia, and electric-ant on board.  A pleasure to meet you all!  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I will want to call my limit for main characters right there, I think... seven is just about a perfect number for me.  *wicked grin*I'll allow one more main character, assuming Arknath is still willing to move from a main character slot into a cohort position (which I will assume, unless I hear otherwise).Depending on the character submissions I receive, I may very well have openings for other cohorts, of course, as well as wanting to have a list of replacements who can join in the event of losing one or more main characters.Anyone who would be willing to go onto a replacements waiting list, or be considered for a cohort position, please post and inform me of such.  Otherwise, my starting roster's going to look like this:Main PlayersRino'o SkoteinosKalanyrCalimKeiaelectric-antArknathCohort PlayersRecruitingOk, those of you who have Main Character positions:  we need to decide on a number of factors, yet.  I'd like everyone to have a say in determining the level and style of the game, so everyone throw in your two cents worth, even if it's nothing more detailed than "whatever."  The setting will be unique; consider it to be a generic world, with whatever potential modifications and alterations are necessary to accommodate the character concepts that you all provide.  The only things set in stone regarding setting at this point are: 1:  It is a Prime material world, using standard D&D cosmology.  2:  It's very large, with massive potential for diversity.  Any race, class, or prestige class from the WotC products (and quite possibly a large number of 3rd party publisher products, as well) can be accomodated.  Somehow.  Details can be worked out as we go.3:  There's no cap on level in this setting, although there are prerequisites for attaining Epic level.  It's not simply a case of gaining enough xp to reach 21st level and then training for a while.  Some kind of process is required to make the transition; all Epic characters should allow for this in the character backgrounds.  Details can be worked out either in mass amongst yourselves (and me, of course) or on a case by case basis for each character, as you all prefer.4:  As a result of number 3 above, there will be things your characters (no matter what starting level we choose) simply don't know about the world.  The highest movers and shakers in the setting are very deeply hidden in shadows that not even your characters will have been able to fully penetrate.  You may, of course, have your suspicions.  Feel free to improvise as you see fit.And, finally, 5:  The previous two points not withstanding, your characters will be amongst the most powerful beings in the world.  This may be either a very large group, or a very small one, depending largely on the starting level.  But design your character concepts with this point in mind.All of that said, your characters won't necessarily be confined to this world.  If you decide en masse that you want to concentrate the game largely on extraplanar affairs, then that's cool.  But barring deliberate change of focus through your input, most of the focus will likely be on the Prime Material (if not exclusively your native corner of it...  ;P ).Ok, I'm putting a cork in it for now.  Those of you I've ensnared... er, that is, heard from already, let me know what ideas you're thinking of.  Those who haven't posted yet, but are interested, post here and we'll see if we can't find some way to work you in.Thanks, and thanks!</blockquote>
