[Recruiting] Playtesters for Technology Ruleset

[GnomeWorks]

And Gnomeworks gets first vote as to which of these is a preferred play test environment!

The first would be the norm, I imagine, and the last one... that's rather entertaining.

So - whichever one you decide on works. All of them sound like viable campaign ideas, and I like them all.

 

[Ghostknight]

Yep, they all seem viable to me, but the last one may be too RP based to be a good play test environment. Still, it would give a good work out to any skills/feats testing (and who says that the merchant houses never attack each other? Well actually the newspapers do, it is always "unaffiliated bandits"!)

OK, do a level, jump a level. Something along those lines. That should allow us to move through a good range of levels.

Pretty much every game I have ever run has been, for better or worse, of my own devising. So I'm going to use this as an opportunity to try out some other people's ideas.

I'm going to go with ghostknight - 1 post per day during the week. Of course things can move faster if people are up for it. But I'm going to try and keep to this minimum schedule.

Damn ghostknight is clever. I'm just a simple dog, so am going to go with a basic fantasy setting that has reached an industrial age.

It would be a good idea if all the characters in my games have some ability to handle themselves in a fight.

I was thinking along these lines for simplicity - any PHB/SRD class or race. 30 point buy as per the DMG. PHB/SRD skills & feats and equipment & magic only. Max starting wealth (whatever that is), no more than half spent on one single item.

Oh yeah. Absolutely no Necanthropes.

Sounds alright to me, doghead. Though I'm guessing the stuff from the playtest would be open, as well?

 

[Caliber]

I'm unbiased as to who DMs me. I don't know any of the free WotC modules (I have some downloaded ... and sitting on my stack of "to read someday" )

I will probably end up making a Cleric-like character. Perhaps more melee oriented, though (Paladin maybe?)

Curses! I hate double posts!

Ghostknight, I would like to join your game. This is mostly because I am fairly familiar with the WotC modules doghead is apparently using. I also like a little more in depth RP, which you seem to be shooting for.

As far as setting style goes, #1 and #5 sound like the best options to me. I would be more than happy with any of the five you listed though. Large scale powerplays between houses sounds very intriguing to participate in, even if as lowly first level PCs we are merely pawns.

Regarding character creation, what requirements are you setting down? Core materials + the playtest SRD? This is what I am assuming, but just confirming. How many points will you allow to buy stats with?

thanks,

Yes, that is what all the playtesters are looking at, for now. Core books + the playtest material, no more, no less.

As for points, I'll leave that to the DMs to decide.

 

[Jarval]

I'm happy to go with either game, as I know both doghead and Ghostknight will do a good job. If anything, I'm inclined to go with doghead's "play some levels, skip some levels" idea, but only because I like high-level play

Really what I'm saying is put me where I'll be useful. I've got no real preference, so I'm happy where ever I end up
