Greyhawk Game Starting

[wysiwyg]

OK. Looks like we've got a bit of response. However we have lots of loose ends to tie. Since I started this thread, let me try and come up with some final points.
The majority of the group seems to agree on the following:

1. We'll play 32 point buy.
2. 6th or 7th level (Let's go for 6).

3. We don't yet have a fixed DM. So far we have either Karl or Andrew as volunteers. Andrew seems a bit more experienced as a DM, but is a pretty busy player (which is good and bad: good - I need a frequent DM. bad - might be too busy to DM)

4. Source books: This is a touchy subjects, especially in Enworld. How about we stick to the PHB & the Greyhawk campaign setting only.

If you have anything new to contribute, please do so.

In the meantime, every one can decide what they want to play.

I for one, even with the debate about the wimpy ranger, will play a ranger - I have a soft spot for 'im.

Write back soon.

I'd be interested in joining as a player if ther's still room.

I'd like to play a Barbarian. A low-int female Barbarian. Maybe a Gnome or a Halfling!

Karl or Andrew - any takers as GMs?

How many players can you handle? As of now there are 6 people wanting to play.

(SWAK) Ball is in your court.

Possibly keep checking this thread. You are #6 so far - a conventional number of players.

Looks like we have some heavy hitters in the Ranger and the Barbarian, so I'll plan on a Rogue or a spell caster, perhaps both. I'll give the others a chance to chime in before I decide.

PH and Greyhawk only is fine with me. 6th level and 32 points is great.

What about starting gold? I'm not sure what the average gold for a 6th level PC should be. Please post if you know.

 

[Scotley]

Character wealth--including magic items--is 13,000 gp for 6th level per DMG p. 135. That's the only guide I know of for starting beyond 1st level. Does someone know of another guide? I would assume that our DM will have some ideas about this as well. Presumably he/she will want to approve magic item choices. We are using a fairly high point buy. Does that mean we should have extra cash as well?

I will wait to see what Andrew says before going one way or the other... my problem is that I do have two other PBP games going right now and I am already planning out a 3rd... this would be Four I might not have the time hehe

What would people be interested in for the game? In and around Greyhawk? Typical adventures? Greyhawk wars and aftermath?

I am thinking about modifing and updating the Slavelords game as those where some of my all time favorite games I have ever run. Thoughts about that???
