Looking For A Solo Eberron Game

[Kaodi]

Hey there. I guess it has been a while since my last attempt to ask (beg) if anyone could surrender a little extra time to run a solo Eberron game. Were I at home with my books, I would likely still be running such a game, but I left them behind when I came to university.

Of course, without some sort of reciprocation many may view this as a mightily unreasonable request. Maybe it is, but I do not ask that you run such a game for me; I ask merely that someone might be willing to to hold an open submission for the best entry, such that I will have the chance to play in that game should my entry be sufficiently compelling.

Personally, I would perhaps prefer that there be some guidelines for where the game would be set and what kind of campaign it would be, but in an open submission process that might be unnecessary for other applicants. Also personally, I would be looking at a 5th-level character with 32 pt. buy, standard wealth, and taken mostly from the SRD and any Eberron specific feats I can remember off the top of my head.

Now, it is perhaps possible that I could run a primarily SRD solo game at some point in reciprocation, just not immediately (two exams to study for, probably what I should be doing at this very moment). I am not that experienced a DM, but with practice perhaps I will become worthy of the name.

In any case, thank you for your consideration.

I might pull it for you Kaodi. I'm a bit inexperienced with DM'ing a PBP although I am getting better now that my two games are going on. So what sort of game would you like? Hack'n'slash, intrique, assassin-style, indiana jones in xen'drik, or something else?

 

[Kaodi]

Hmmm... Well, a combination of several things, I suppose. Like I said, I am also receptive to what you might like to run. That being said, I think a combination of character development, intrigue, hack'n'slash and powerbase development would be something I would like. By powerbase development, I mean things like having a home, friends and allies, generally the business of being famous, influential and powerful. Alternatively, it could be called environment development I suppose.

When thinking about characters I migth want to play in such a game, some that I did a little stat planning on were a Cyran kalashtar orphan wizard/wilder who has just discovered his psionic powers, a Karrnathi half-elf necromancer/fighter who used to work for the Corpse Collectors, but is opposed to the Blood of Vol, a couple variations on a Cyran cultist of the Dark Six, one of whom was a sailor/pirate, and various things like that. Possibly a drow wizard who was raised in Sharn or Wroat, in a throwback to natives of the Americas who were brought to Europe. I could probably come up with more, and I could play a character from almost anywhere if you had a particular kind of game in mind, though I would definately prefer to start in the default time. Khorvaire (except perhaps the Demon Wastes), Sarlona, Stormreach, maybe Seren, and even undernearth the Seas, I would be open to.

Have you played the Shadows of the Last War to Grasp of the Emerald Claw adventures. If not I might be interested to modify and run those. If you have I will see if I can come up with something different. I would prefer your PC to be something along good or neutral with "goodish" tendencies though.

 

[Kaodi]

I have played the Forgotten Forge and maybe the first scene of Shadows of the Last War, but that is it.

 

[Blackrat]

Well then. In that case I could base the game in that adventure path and add in some of my own encounters. I'll need to skim through the adventures again. But now I'm off to sleep. Later then.

 

[Kaodi]

Okay. I am going to tentatively look at a Kalashtar Rogue/Psychic Warrior multi-class, to mix up some skills with the ability to self-heal. Native to Breland, neutral good alignment. Orphan, and all that.

Looks good. As for background, since you already know the forgotten forge would it suit you that mr.XXX has recently gone through that experience?

 

[Kaodi]

Okay. I do not have time right now to work on the background, appearance and personality. I have an exam this evening and I have to try and fight the desire to procrastinate before looking over all of my notes.

In short though, I am thinking that his is perhaps from one of the larger towns or small cities of Breland, perhaps a bit of a loner as a kid, spent all his time skulking around, hehehe... Discovered his powers and began developing them as a warrior, and spent some time roaming around, helping people who were not able to get help from the army because of the War. Also, during this time, he started feeling as if his name were being called by something, and that that somethings name was being said in the same message, underneath his name. He gets the impression that he is supposed to be looking for some kind of weapon, a weapon that has been lost to his people and is meant to be found by him, but he has yet to be able to fiure out what he is supposed to do with these messages. After a chance encounter with another kalashtar, he heard about the settlements in some of the bigger cities. So, he headed to Wroat, then down to Sharn, where he got involved with the Elaydren and the Forgotten Forge.

I'll do something more detailed later.

Could you take a look at the magical items and other important objects that were recoverable in the Forgotten Forge? Perhaps it would be more interesting if I had some of those, instead of all the gear I chose because it fit me. If you could make a list of those, I'll try and adjust the character sheet to include the appropriate ones.

 

[Blackrat]

Sure. Have luck with that exam. I need to take a trip to my parents place since my EBCS is there at the moment but I should be able to look those things up by thursday.
