[Recruitment] The Ultimate Dungeon

[Camelot]

This is a 4th edition D&D game for 4 to 6 players. You don't make a background. You don't roleplay (much). In fact, you don't even make your own character. Your character will be randomly generated, from all races and classes, and everything about your character will be random too, even randomly rolled stats (don't worry, you won't end up with a wizard with Int 8 and Str 18, I make sure the character is at least playable). You wake up in a dungeon (that kind of looks like a castle) with amnesia, unable to remember who you are, where you are, or who these strange people you're with are.

This game is not for the hardcore roleplayers, as having amnesia tends to put a dent in the whole personality thing. As you journey through this ultimate dungeon, you might discover what exactly is going on, but first you need to survive!

Like I said, I randomly generate your character, so just post if you are interested and I will give you a character soon after. Right now, I'm not using the Player's Handbook 2, but when it comes out I sure will (if you die, you get a new random character!).

What levels are we talking about? Also, race, class, attributes are random. Are feats, powers, equipment and all the rest random too?
(btw the PH2 will be out in only a few days, so you'll likely be on time to use it anyway...)

 

[Lord Sessadore]

Go ahead and count me in on this. I have to say I'm intensely looking forward to the avenger, but if you don't want to wait for the PHB2 before generating my character, no worries. I'm looking forward to this; should be fun!

 

[Sir Osis of Liver]

Sounds like an original idea, and i've been looking for a 4e game, so i'd love to try this out.

 

[Camelot]

This campaign spans levels 1 - 30 (it's my style to be complete, none of those short "mega-adventures" or whatnot). Yes, your race, class, abilities, feats, trained skills, powers, gender, height, weight, even your character's name is random. Everything! But as I said, I won't give you a stupid character, like a melee fighter without a melee weapon, or a wizard without an implement, or an archer ranger with only melee powers. Your character will make sense. Except the race/class combination might be unfortunate (but at least you'll get to say you've played a minotaur wizard, or something of the like).

So, I will generate two characters for Sessadore and Atanatotatos (mind if I call you Atan or something? =D).

Oh, also, I'll make sure that the team has covered all the roles. I get squirmy when the group isn't complete.

 

[Camelot]

And a third for Osis!

This has the potential to be enormously entertaining - count me in!

 

[Atanatotatos]

Everybody does level 1 games
Oh well I find the idea neat anyway. I'm really looking forward to trying a PHB2 race/class, but if it's random, it's random, right? Count me in! (and shorten my nick however you like, everyone does! )
When are you aiming to start?

 

[Lord Sessadore]

Yes, if I might make a suggestion, waiting for the PHB2 at least for whoever gets the controller would probably be better. It's not very random when wizard is the only choice

Also ... I'm just gonna be blunt here. Are you really expecting to get to level 30 in a play-by-post game? That's going to take, like ... years. We'll have 6th edition by the time we hit level 30 Not that there's anything wrong with aiming for a long campaign - that's totally cool, and I'd love to be part of it. Just making sure you know the kind of time you're talking about. Don't expect to have all the same players when you get to the end

 

[Lord Sessadore]

Here's another question: are we going to get our stats before we start, in order to familiarize ourselves with ourselves? Or is it going to be "You wake up in a room with these other people; here are your stats; GO!"? I don't think I mind either way (with the pace of PbP we could familiarize ourselves with our stats even if you did the latter version ), just curious.
