Recruiting Players (Greyhawk D&D)-closed-

Ok I can post in RG in a little bit, character and a base bacground are done just want to ask which magic item you prefer, deck of illusions, or pipes of pain. I can fit either one in my background with ease. Also I wanted to take the 3.5 0 level spell summon instrument and use it not only to create an instument but compel one in particular to float out of my pack and into my hands.

As far as the spell that is cool that should have been a 3.0 spell anyways. And as far as summoning your particular instrument that is fine. You could also do that with magehand also, just food for thought.
As far the magic items you can choose the pipes of haunting or you could also have a "everful pouch of fey dust" that would allow you to mimic any "magical dust" in the dmg...it allows you to pull 2 uses per day from it, you can pull a total of 12 uses from it but if you ever pull more than 2 in a day then it will never refill itself again.
let me know what you think

Campaign Introduction

You have each found your way to the widely famed and world renowned Free City of Greyhawk in the central Flanaess on the world known as Oerth. It is the Common Year 591 and the year is just about to begin. The week long mid-winter festival known as Needfest has just finished and everyone is goingback to work on Starday which is tommorow for you, as tonight is the last night of the festival.
Any of you who choose to attend the festivities were amazed and astonished by the exotic variety of shows and peoples. From the cockatrice who turned frogs to stone, which I am sure Dennis didnt like watching with Gilda, to the pegasus rides which only the wealthiest could afford... People from all races and walks of life are to be found during a festival more so than usual in the Free City. Their is fun and revelry to be had throughout the week...
The warm and illuminating light of Pelor breaks through the clouds on the moring of Starday as usual to start a new week and year of work. Each of you takes care of your normal morning routine and goes into the marketplace, where everyone in the Free City knows is the place to find work and sometimes adventure for the bravest of souls...
As the day progressess you are each approached in turn by an older half-elven woman. She has long flowing frost white hair peppered with strands of black hair. Her eyes are a bright green and seem to instill a sense of compassion when she looks at you. She is wearing a finely crafted orange robe with golden thread highlighting it. She has a beautifully crafted silver necklace with a single opal pendant hanging on it. She seems to lean slightly on a darkwood staff that has intricate elven engravings covering it. Her voice is a soothingly soft tone yet has a strength in it when she speaks.

"Greetings and good travels young adventurer, I am Lady Dalisandrea Sunshadow. Ah do not be suprised that I know you seek adventure for that is why so many gather here. I myself once came here many years ago in search of adventure and I found that and much, much more. But the years have worn on me now and I am fast approaching my 100th birthday...but such ponderings you dont want to hear I am sure. I would seek to offer you a job and a place in a group of others like yourself, you see I am in need of assitance to retrieve something I lost many years ago and would be willing to reward each of you handsomely if you are able to return to me. I would give each of 50 platinum crowns and a magical potion as your reward, not to mention whatever else you may find while retrieving my hierloom. I would ask that you meet me later this evening for dinner at the Golden Griffon Tavern in the northern section of the city, shall we say around 7ish ? Good then its settled, meet me then and I will introduce you to those whom you'll be travelling with. Here is a platinum crown for your time, fare day to you..." [OOC-each person may add 1 platinum crown to thier charcaters]

I have started a new thread under Playing The Game "Shadows of Greyhawk Campaign" to start the game. I just wanted to get things jump-started here... I will start with Lady Dalisandrea at the tavern and as your characters "arrive" at the tavern you will be able to speak with her or the others as they arrive and we will just go from there...
If anyone has any questions for me before we start please let me know or if their is something that anyone wants me to work into the game for them as far as background or character relevant just let me know. I am always open to listening to what my players have to say or would like to see in the game, we are all helping to tell the story!
good gaming everyone

Campaign Guidelines !!!

I just wanted to touch base and set out the guidelines for the campaign from my side...
1)When a roll is called for I will TRUST each person to make it and then post the appropriate results. Please use real dice so that we get a true dice roll. :)
2)When posting please use following methods
"BOLT TEXT" when speaking aloud in character
>ITALIC TEXT< when thinking with your character
[OOC-] when taking actions or for any other reasons
3)I allow 1 "Hero Point" to each character at every level to be used to reroll any 1 die roll if the initial result is undesired. These can accumulate but you can never use more than 1 per encounter. I feel this gives players more control for achieving a desired result or to avoid failing an important save or what have you. These have always worked well for my home campaign.
4)As the game progresses I would like each person to keep their character in the Rogue's Gallery updated so that I have access to your charcaters current information at any time.
5)If someone is going to be unable to post for an extended period please let us all know.
6)Let all have fun and remember if you ever have a question just ask or send me an email or look for me on aol...all the info is on my profile here.

I hope we all have a memorable and fun time!

My bards stats are in the RG I will get the bacground up either later tonight or tomorrow depending on how studying for my statistics test goes. Tell me if there are any issues

what magic item did you choose ?
how did you end up with a 7 wisdom ? ... shouldn't that be an 8 ?
dave
 

The magic item is the pipes of haunting, and as for the wisdom, the point buy system calculator that I have had the function where you can lower a score below 8 and get 1 point. Mercuchio does not always think before he acts and is really easily swayed into stuff so I figured the lower wisdom score would be good.
 

Well since you were speaking of Greyhawk files...sure Map of area would be good and also info about city and area would be nice.

Also about working in background, wouldn't mind some about that whole goblin/human incurtion into elven lands....
