Here's an idea..

[Jemal]

I just finished reading Dragon Mag # 309, and Dungeon #100, and I've got a question :

Anyone else itching to play an entire campaign based around the Incursion idea? Either as Githyanki or as Prime worlders?

I think it'd be cool.

This isn't a recruitment thread or anything, and I'm not offering to DM right now, just seeing if others feel similarily.

 

[Starman]

I, too, think it would be cool, although I wouldn't be much interested in playing a Githyanki. Prime worlders fighting off the invasion would be really cool, though.

Id be interested. I even registered and ceased lurking for this thread Love the Gith races, I still have my old Fiend Folio because of the Githyanki.

 

[Casar Couer De' Lion]

I would play

I would be interested in playing on either side of the invasion, although I like the idea of playing the stereotypical good guys more so I guess. But yeah, I think we could get the players pretty easy so..... who wants to DM?

 

[Starman]

Another cool option would be to play Githzerai aiding the Prime Worlders.

'I'm not offering to DM,blah,blah, blah....
C'mon Jemal, that's how all of my games begin.
You are doomed.
Githzerei and Primers as PCs sounds good.

What level are you going to start us at?
12th?
I have a certain Gladiator who'd love to hack-n-stab some Githyanki...

 

[Zerth]

Did someone mention playing perhaps a Githzerai? Maybe a chance to literally kick some Githyanki butt? Count me in if there's ever gonna be game like that

 

[Keia]

I have some interest as well, and I would be interested in the prime worlders, though wouldn't mind the gith side either.

A wise man once said "If you build it, they will come."

Now I say
"If you start it, they will play."


Uriel, I knew I'ld probably end up DMing, that's why I said "not offering to DM Right Now. I guess there's lotsa interest, and I shoulda known it would only take a few days.
So, assuming I DM, then how's this sound:

D&D 3.0
Prime worlders (With maybe 1 or 2 githzerai) fighting off a githyanki invasion that's been under way for a while. Long enough for the yanki's (Oops... So many puns, so little time...) to have established a base of power on the World, and are now winning a war of attrition against the worlds super-powers.

For simplicity's sake, we'll say the world is the same (Geographically) as Earth, and the Yanks have taken over basically all of Europe, and have footholds in many parts of Asia, Africa, and The States.. The PC's would be starting in the equivalent of Canada, or Austraillia, the only places that have managed to completely keep the baddies out.

10th lvl, PHB races, and I may allow 1 or 2 'Zerai with 9 character levels. Any Class from PHB (No psionics), no starting with Prestige Classes unless they're the basics from DMG.

Stats: Roll yer own, 4d6, reroll 1's, minus lowest. If you have nothing over 15, reroll your lowest stat. Continue doing so until one of your stats is over 15.

Allowed Sources: Core books, Quintessential series, and the sword+fist/Tome+Blood/etc series. I'ld probably allow other stuff, but I'ld need to see the specifics first.

I prefer 6 players, which looking at this thread, is perfect. Heres a list of players who have expressed interest:
Starman
Zerth
Uriel
Keia
Casar
Zoeaa

This game will be heavily combat-oriented, but you will probably need to organize armies and countries and such, unless you're planning on handling the entire invasion as an elite guerilla unit.

I'm planning on working this all the way through to the end of the invasion (Probably about 8-10 lvls worth of play) and Experience will be coming fairly quickly with the huge battles you'll be taking part in, as well as Extra Xp I'll be giving out for completing succsessful mission, etc.


Are there any Questions/Comments/Ideas/Githzerai Requests?

 

[Zerth]

First of all, I would love to play a Githzerai (Well, quite obvious considering my nick & avatar ). That doesn't of course mean I must have one of the gith slots. Let's hear everybody's opinions first and work something out. I'm open to any race and class if needed, but playing a Githzerai would be my first choice.

Second, I like the idea of a combat-heavy game. I have couple other games here on the boards and they haven't been or will be very combat-heavy. So this would be something different. I can post usually multiple times per day, so I have no problems keeping up with many combats.

Jemal, you mentioned Githzerai starting at lvl 9. They are listed +2 ECL and would therefore start one level higher than the rest. I'm quite sure you already knew this... Do you think +2 ECL is too much or do you just want them starting one level higher than the rest?

What about hit points? Roll, max, average...?
