Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gomer212" data-source="post: 6136434" data-attributes="member: 6746022">Welcome to Turmishaar, a high action, completely self-created campaign. This is a Core (mostly) 3.5 D&D game that uses an extensive  collection of house rules to maintain enjoyment and balance among all  players.  I currently run three groups through this campaign arc and am  looking to bring on more.  My schedule is quite open, so day and time is  to be determined by applying characters.  If you post interest here,  please include a list of possible availability and I will see what I can  work out. We use MapTools b87 and the built in text chat to play.  Characters are  created on a 40 point buy system and brought in at level one.  For complete details, see this link for a list of character creation and homebrew rules. <a href="http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/showthread.php?16272-Turmishaar-House-Rules" target="_blank">http://www.thetangledweb.net/forums/...ar-House-Rules</a>The focus of our game is to recreate a more classic feel of dungeons and  dragons.  A balanced group of characters face new and unexpected  challenges week after week and must work together to survive.  Victory  in the game comes only from the anticipation of facing a new obstacle  and the accomplishment of success alongside friends. Players of all experience levels are welcome, from first time noobs to  seasoned vets.  Turmishaar will challenge and intrigue you all while  still maintaining balance between characters.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Back to the Roots of D&DIn keeping with the way the game was originally designed, the campaign  is heavy in action.  Dungeon crawls are frequent, as are the combats,  traps, and hidden goodies.  Balanced parties fare the best, having the  four classic character concepts; a melee fighter, a heal bot cleric, a  skill based rogue, and an arcane caster.  Cooperation is the key to  success.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Depth and SustainabilityThis game has been ongoing for two groups for longer than the past year  and is growing every day.  A mix of party balanced story quests and  status quo side missions ensure the group always has a choice on which  way to go.  With over 100 fully detailed maps and growing each week,  there is always something new to see.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Start to finish player developmentThis campaign spans the length of 30 levels and about 60 years, nearly  an entire human lifespan.  Watch your character grow from a pile of  stats to a living, breathing entity, an accomplishment unlike any other  in dungeons and dragons. Gain prestige, earn ranks and titles, buy a house, start a family and  grow old with them.  The possibilities of your character are virtually  limitless.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------An incredible balance of large groups and speedy playThe campaign setting is designed to comfortably challenge and  accommodate a party of up to 8 PCs.  Easy to maintain custom macros keep  the game going at a steady pace.  Full rounds are quickly resolved with  a few simple mouse clicks or key strokes.  I promise you, this game of 8  PCs moves along as quickly, or usually quicker than most live session  or virtual games you have participated in.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------No player left behindI strive to maintain balance in the world of Turmishaar, balance being  what I believe to be the key factor in party wide enjoyment of the  campaign.  Our extensive set of house rules to classes guarantees a  place on the battle field for any class.  Yes, even the Monk, Ranger,  and low level Caster are effective in combat in this campaign.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A commitmentRunning and creating this campaign is a full time task.  Writing the  adventures, creating the maps and maintaining the framework, takes very  much devotion, and all this is before running the sessions themselves.   As such, I do collect a small fee for my time.  For the price of 5 USD  (payable through PayPal) for a 4 hour session, you will be part of an  exciting and memorable gaming experience.  Trust me, you will quickly  see where that money goes.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------What you get for your 5 dollars-Free set of custom built macrosOnce your character is created, I will create your token for you using  an image of your choosing.  Your entire character sheet including gear,  valuables, description, and daily abilities will be stored on this token  and automatically updated by my macros.  Your token will contain any  macros your character needs to roll checks, make attacks, or cast  spells.  Once your character is done, you literally have nothing left to  do but to log in and play. -Free PbP between sessionsCan’t get enough of the game?  Between live sessions, I leave a thread  dedicated to each group to continue the adventure until the group meets  again. -2 Free sessionsThe first will feature character and token creation as well as a quick  macro tutorial.  The second will be your trial by fire, your first major  combat, and an introduction to a new world. -Free character creation tips and supportFirst time making a character?  No problem.  I will provide players with  my Skype ID and anytime I am on I am available to teach the game and  give my advice.   One player plays for freeWe use the maptools program, and given my remote location, the game  experience is usually greater if we have someone else serve as the  dedicated host.  If anybody volunteers and can successfully provide us a  server, that person plays for free, every week.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Why Text Chat only?We use text based chat because many players find it to be easier and  more comfortable.  Many players do not have the necessary devices to  communicate verbally, while others prefer the text as an outlet for  creative writing.  Think of it as sort of an interactive comic book.   Let the visual images drive your imagination while you interpret the  dialogues however you will.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Why Core Only?Being that we have a variety of players from rookie to veteran, sticking  to the Core rules helps us to maintain balance among all players.  It  also simplifies the rules and quickens the pace of the game. Now, this game is not 100% core, mind you, as you will notice in the  house rules thread linked above.  I frequently approve non-core feats,  spells, and prestige classes, though these must all be cleared through  me before selection.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you are still reading along, I just want to give you my personal  thanks for bearing with me through all that.  If any of the above has  interested you in the least, please, do yourself a favor, and check out  these Turmishaar
