I am interested in playtesting would we have to make a bunch of different fighter types to test the styles if so I want to be the reach weapon tester.

HolyMan is on board! Awesome!

We wouldn't necessarily have to have a bunch of different fighter types. I'd ideally like to see a well balanced party, so we can see various spells in action, a roguish sort trying to tumble and flank, etc. That said, handling reach weapons would definitely be one thing to work out, so if you want to volunteer for that, I'm all in favor.

And will this just be a Delve type game different encounters/terrian to test the combat flow. I think maybe some generic stats/equipment to get started be best nothing showy you know lol.

Well, I was hoping to still DM a legitimate game through this, not simply to throw a generic series of encounters at some PCs. To that end, I had in mind that Monte Cook's Dungeonaday.com might work well? It fits the bill in that the dungeon pretty much is the campaign, and as you might imagine there is plenty of combat to go 'round. But there are also a lot of really neat features that Monte has included, and exploring the place should be a lot of fun for the players. What do you think?

Don't forget things like Bull Rush, Feint, and Splash Weapons and Mounted Combat and underwater while sharks are swimming in and the lizardfolk priestess is ... oh you get what I mean.

...and Grappling, and Aid Another, and area of effect spells, and...um, yeah. It should be interesting.

I have been looking for a pic of my ranseur wielding little orential man he will be short the polearm almost twice his hieght and he will defiently need the starw hat/bowl looking thing lol

I have his ideal backgound as a failed monk he tryed but lacked the calm for it but became a temple guard and was trained in it's weaponry then was framed in the city and is now a wanderer

will have ranseur and duel wield butterfly blades (two short swords) so crunch wise he will be a ranger his "spells" will be like shaolin powers peopl take as magical "How do those monks run so fast?" answer longstrider he will be very intuned with nature he did try and become a monk and his companion may be something small none aggressive

Love it Let me get started I haven't made a character in like two days.

It's a good concept, and I love the enthusiasm, man.

But, I don't think I'm ready to officially greenlight this project quite yet. At minimum, we would need to get at least two other players on board.

And, we'll need to discuss what rules system we want to use to make PCs. 3.5? Pathfinder?

 

[HolyMan]

Thought you posted the game then the players came but with this it's a little different

how about starting discussion/recurtiment thread and see who bites i know that a lot of games have started this past month but 4 should be easy right?

and maybe we just do need a Fighter, Wizard, Cleric, and Rogue to start??

Yeah lets go classic with the dungeon a day we should be a classic group.

edit:and what about different test groups you could run that or have a co-DM help say two groups 4 players each?
same class race different weapons /spells so much we could do lol

...
The more I think on it, I wonder if potential players would be interested in playing a game wherein the rules were developed as a work in progress, rather than trying to have everything worked out in advance. Essentially, a playtest opportunity. Hmmm....

Interesting. What system (AoO or their equivalent are in 3.5, Pathfinder {and 4e}) do you want to use?

Ok all the games looking from my subscrpitions:

Heck, what character do you need? Would vote for Pathfinder.

 

[HolyMan]

Didn't know you were still recuriting for your Dark Sun game WD -sorry

Thought you had alot of players already and Pathfinder huh?? that may become the new "main game" on here with it's super cool rules and support system

HM

 

[Walking Dad]

Many players, but no one chosen so far. Will start this probably with many (8?) players, because of the drop-out rate in PbPs.

Will have to add a recruitment end date...

I'm playing in one Pathfinder game right now, and finding that I really like the rules (though I'm just using the BETA). I vote for that!

Well, I'm not sure how easy, but I probably will start such a thread. Although, we do have three interested persons now (Hi, WD!) so if somebody else chimes in soon on this thread, it may not be necessary.

and maybe we just do need a Fighter, Wizard, Cleric, and Rogue to start??

Yeah lets go classic with the dungeon a day we should be a classic group.

That would be fine, but there's plenty of room to test out other classes as well.

I'm sure that I'm not up for running more than one party at a time, but I could see it being a larger group, as many as 6 PCs, if that many people are interested. If someone else wanted to DM a separate game, but also work on playtesting this 'system' (for lack of a better term), I'd have no problem with that.
