This is a general 1st call to see if there would be any interest in playing this large adventure out on PbP.
It will be a serious undertaking and I would ask that once some resolution is achieved on how we want to do it, those who are willing to commit, do so for the long haul (with the understanding that life happens).
I bought the Adventure with the thought I'd likely never run it - rather I just wanted to see an example of a "War" done by WOTC.
Some preliminary information:
I think I can run up to 7-8 players on line since its all in print it's really hard to miss details. I also think that the module begs for a large party after all it is a mass combat type thing.
Starting level will be 5th (due to party size)
LA races up to +3 on case by case basis
Starting wealth as per DMG (most expensive item not more than 50% of that)
I welcome players of all ages but understand within the limitations of LEW I do Evil-Evil not PG13 evil so it is likely bad things will be RP out that deal with adult topics (death, dismemberment and the horrors of war...)
Character generation: 1) One can roll on IC given you tell me the name of the character first then roll for the stats. 2) Just make up your stats - be reasonable and I'm fine with it.
I have too many resources to list and am cool with player choice, I believe that a player who is allowed to play a concept or class they want will likely remain focused and interested longer.
So....on a case by case bases I'd allow almost anything. (Non-WOTC d20 is fine...I like Green Ronin's stuff, AEG is balanced usually, the Mercenary book has some good classes for a military campaign.)
However, if I don't own the resource please send me (scanned photocopies are fine if it does not offend your sense of copyright violations, of so then set to typeing....Mr. (or Mrs.) the information so I can adjudicate the stuff fairly.
I will cover any house rules after I see if anyone is genuinely interested in this huge undertaking. (I say it may take a year or more to finish on pbp)
NOTE: I am not one to say, impress me with your concept and you can play, so I will take the 1st 8 players to make a complete character, that I find reasonable. The party need not be falsely balanced so no one has to play something they don't want to fill all the roles. If you all want to play fighters, thats fine wizards the same, whatever. I as DM will modify the encounters to make them balanced for the group.
