Bront that's a relly good list... I've done most of them that I want to do, sorcerers, monks, Psionics don't really do it for me.

Evil can be alot of fun... I've done both solo and group games that did work but it does require the right DM and the right players. (PbP evil is probably better also)

My list is rather short. I want a solo M&M game, I want to play a few more of RA's classes, I want an epic game that works, and a few more things that I cannot think of right now. :\

I want no part in an epic game. I think the higher levels are nearing epic enough for me. I don't think the epic rules work, well, so it's hard to get an epic game that works.

I've done an Evil PC in a different system, who's reformed now. It worked fairly well because the players weren't trying to outdo and backstab each other, which is what too many people think an Evil PC is for. Just because you're Evil doesn't mean you can't work with others or that you need your won agenda appart from the group's.

Some of those things haven't struck me as right for the game, or I've had trouble with the ideas. I realy wanted to try a true noble character, and I have now with Kitrina (See my sig).

As for a Solo game, they can be fun. Smaller games can be fun too, but I'd be worried about getting a bit stagnent with a solo game, but that's more a fantasy thing. M&M would suit a solo more.

Remember I hate magic spells so I always forget how horrible the epic spells are… I’ve seen some better things epic wise from third party but it really seems like that the ELH really killed that market.

Indeed. Both of my really great evil games had characters with there own desires... In fact in Isida’s of Vile Darkness after a year of RT game play my character still hadn't met up with the others. (RA: No Crazy Ivans involved. )

My other evil character worshiped a god of pestilence and disease. (The character himself was an Unholy Warrior) He just needed people who would leave him well enough alone and not overly care or take not of the fact that he spent a considerable, if not all of his time, with the town’s girls of ill repute. (He carried an STD plague. )

I hear you, there's been alot of things I would like to do over...

They can be, but they can also be just an amazing way to study a character. (and yeah M&M, and the comic genre, just works perfectly in solo styled games.)

I think I'm almost set to pass Keia.

And I don't care . . . really.

Neither do I, just a fun observation. I'm enjoying the trip more than the destination, which is the point

Before I'd played PbP here, I'd only ever played 4 different 3.0 or 3.5 characters, so that's part of it, though that doesn't explain the dwarf thing.

I get to play a lot of characters, even though I'm running games most of the time...it just tends to not be for very long for each character.

This is mostly due to the fact there's a TPK every couple of sessions at the most if I don't run. The other GM has the luckiest player killing dice I've ever seen...I mean I lost 3 characters in a journey between two towns over a few hundred miles...two of which were TPKs, and one a near TPK...the wizard escaped with a couple of hit points left and went back to the first town to get some new companions (which were then the first TPK of that journey). Though that wasn't the end of the TPKs for that series of adventures...I think all up we had 4 or 5 TPKs, plus a lot of other deaths, before it was abandoned after another TPK.

Ironically it was a game where the PCs were part of a prophecy...so you can guess why it was abandoned eventually.

Bah, I don't count that as playing it as a character though. Otherwise, I've played a few Tarrasque characters and, even weirder, a bard

My only real experience with this, the prophecy was a tool of an inexperienced GM to make my Neutral Good PC work together with some very evil PCs who managed to have their alignments be Chaotic Neutral.

That's a lot of TPKs! I don't think I ever TPKed my main group, but I did have two TPKs in a row when playing with a group of younger kids because they were just plain dumb

How on earth did that get misinterpreted...that was as a player, not a GM...due to all the character deaths the other GM seems to inflict.

Oh, I see. I thought you were talking about the characters you played while GMing in a separate point to the rest of the post. I should have probably taken more of a gestalt view to the post

Who exactly are we waiting on to push on with SoM?

Partially me. I'm doing assignments
