I am looking to start a 4e campaign at Shenenigans in Taylor on Thursday nights. I am thinking of doing a Dragonlance campaign but that is open for discussion. Let me ive you some background on me and what I plan to do so that everyone can decide if this group would be right for him or her.
I played and DMed 1st edition AD&D back in the 80s. I left gaming just as 2nd edition was released (2nd edition wasn't why I left -- the timing just happened to work out that way). I just started playing D&D agin in the past year. In that time I have played a few sessions of 4th edition and I have been in a 3.5 group for a few months.
As a DM I like to keep things relatively simple, so due to this reason and the fact that I would be relearning how to DM I plan to limit the options available to players. The theme of the campaign would be another reason to limit options. As I (and the group) get more comfortable with the system then I would probably open thing up a little more (as long as it fit thematically in the campaign and setting).
My idea is to do a 4e version of Dragonlance. This would be a complete reset and reimaging with the PCs taking the place of the Heroes of the Lance (i.e. Caramon, Tanis, etc.) at the onset of the War of the Lance. Since there is no offical 4e Dragonlance stuff it would be a home brewed setting using materials from previous editions. I DMed the original Dragonlance modules in th mid-80s but I am not a Dragonlance purist. Hence I will change things to fit my vision of Dragonlance. I would hope that my reimaging of the saga would make it new and fresh even for the most knowledgable fans of Dragonlance.
Please post a reply or send me an email if you are interested in join this group or if you have any questions.
