I live in West LA, near UCLA (5 mins.) I am interested in a D&D game that starts low level with epic level potential and play and lots of story. For the kind of game that I am most interested in, see Sepulchrave II's story hours on EnWorld. I've got 20+ years gaming xp and am in my mid-30's. So, I'm just throwing this out there and seeing what happens.
Would you be willing to commute as far as the Van Nuys area? (I think the MTA still has a bus which travels from Westwood Blvd up Van Nuys Blvd, which is two blocks from me.) If you're driving, would you be able to play weekdays? (As I've mentioned elsewhere, parking around my place is only available weekdays because it's a residential neighborhood.)
I've got characters I'm dying to run, even as NPCs, and around mid-June or early July I'll be able to run here. If people pay money, I'll even turn on the central air conditioning during the day.
(It's
coooooool -- but hideously expensive to run.)
What I am looking at running now is something for low-level characters in the Forgotten Realms which would build up to Epic dimensions. I don't mean just reach Epic levels by default, I mean that I have the
intention of going from 0-20+. I value role-playing, and the xp awards will be based largely on that; many encounters will be just talking, but if the talking fails, the other person may turn out to be bigger and badder than the PCs would have guessed, and they will have to fight for their lives -- and maybe more. Anyone who gets to high levels in my games will be proud of their character's accomplishments, and will weep sad tears if the character dies. (Yes, I
have killed off people's "favorite characters" before, but always
tried to leave them some means of getting the character back).
