Looking to start an open ended game using NeMoren’s Vault (NV) from Fiery Dragon Productions as a start. NV is a low level adventure with a great hook for getting characters together.
The game will take place in a Home Brew world, Thelenia, which is in its early stage of development. What does this mean to you, not much, but organizations may change or pop up out of nowhere, things like that. I will never use that against you, I just thought if I started running some adventures through the world it might help me flesh it out, or choose which of my many ideas to advance. Anyway, the country of origin for the adventure is Thelis.
Thelis is a large militaristic country ran by a political senate/council. They are in the throngs of expanding their empire against their northern neighbors, which Thelisians refer to as barbarians and they refer to as the Free Kingdoms. A somewhat small sea is Thelis’s southern border, in which is the island of 3 Rings, where magicians have recently built a large tower and school of magic. They have declared themselves free of ties to all nations. On the opposite side of the sea is the continent known as the Cradle. There at the mouth of a large river are three large elven cities. The elves are the protectors of the Cradle, which was the birthplace of all life on Thelenia.
Here are the criteria for character creation. You can use PHB and splat books for your characters, nothing else. I want to keep this simple. There will be no Item Creation feats except Brew Potion and Scribe Scroll. All classes have a minimum of 4 skill points per level. Everything else will be pretty much by the book. I usually like house rules, but I want to keep this simple. Point Buy System, see below.
20 point buy as the base.
+ 2 points for creating a good aligned characters
+ 2 points for including a silver key in your character history (examples, award for brave deed, family heirloom, won through gambling, stolen from someone, gift from old lover, found somewhere
+ 2 points if you have 3 or more NPCs with usable plot hooks in the story NPCs must be named, worked into story; and able to come into future events without unreasonable circumstances. An NPC can be an individual or an organization. NPCs cannot just be listed and named. Must have story involvement.
+ 1 point for including a picture of your PC or a detailed description of your character (you do not have to draw it yourself)
+ 1 more if the story is longer than 500 words. +2 if it is more than 750 words long.
+ 1 for a background story that works within the world's framework given above.
+2 if you play a human character
+1 for a list showing where all equipment is held or stored.
These bonuses are stackable for a total possible 32 points. You can only take each bonus once.
Feel free to make up names of towns, people and organizations as I can easily fit them in.
I am looking for 5-6 players and will start working with each character through email as they are accepted.
Let me know if you have any questions.

I'm thinking human paladin for my character, and I'll be trying to shoot for the full 32 points
