Hey all,
Shortly before the 4e announcement I had been toying with the idea of running a 3.5 game that banned all core stuff. There wouldn't be any spells, races, feats or classes from the PH allowed; I wouldn't use any monsters from the MM; and no magic items would come out of the DMG.
But the vague idea never came to fruition, since we wrapped up the campaigns we were playing and by then 4e was out (and we switched over).
This thread is mostly just to poke the idea out there, since I'm unlikely to ever get to doing it given my current living situation (with games every 2-3 weeks on average, I prefer to focus on the ongoing campaign, in which the players mostly have a terrific amount of buy in and investment in the campaign). I think it would kick a lot of ass; I can just imagine a party with a goliath knight, a spiker binder, a dromite wilder and a neanderthal factotum fighting a bunch of kaorti wearing tsochar. Obviously, I visualize this as a sort of over-the-top, wahoo style game, but it wouldn't have to be.
