[QUOTE="stonegod, post: 3132671, member: 36973"] [b]Initial recruitment has closed.[/b] Well, I'm finally doing it. After a year on these boards, I've gone crazy enough to run a game! [b]Who[/b] A group of four to six adventurers. Party level will start at 6th. [b]What[/b] An Eberron mystery and horror themed campaign based upon the recently released [i]Expedition to Castle Ravenloft[/i]. [b]Important:[/b] If you have played the original I6 ([i]Castle Ravenloft[/i]) let me know as there are strong similarities between the two! [b]When[/b] When the game starts, I plan on posting at minimum once ever other day, with one post per day a goal for me. This is to keep the game flowing and interest/momentum high. Players should endeavor to be able to follow a similar once-per or every-other day routine with the expectation that I will NPC inactive players (especially in combat). [b]Where[/b] Here, of course! Here being ENWorld. [b]Why[/b] Always loved [i]Ravenloft[/i] and have been itching to give it a try. Do not have the resources to play it in RL. [b]How[/b] Recruiting is now closed. This post will remain for archival purposes and in case recruiting is re-opened later. To apply for a position, please provide a concept description of your character. [b]This description is not a character sheet![/b] Provide a [i]background, primary role, quirks[/i], and [i]distinguishing abilities[/i] you foresee (and [i]justification for them/how they play to your concept[/i]). In addition, provide a link to any games you have played in or run here on ENWorld, if any. All of these together will help paint a picture of your overall concept and how it would be executed. Keep in mind the Eberron-feel of your concepts, though players with no knowledge of Eberron can be brought up to speed as necessary. To simplify the creation of concepts, the following will be allowed during final character creation: Core, the [i]XPH[/i], the [i]Complete[/i] Series (including [i]Psionics[/i] and [i]Mage[/i]), the [i]PHBII[/i], the [i]DMGII[/i], all Eberron books, and [i]Heroes of Horror[/i]. However, do not dwell too much on mechanics at this stage. Try not to go with too esoteric of a concept unless you can [i]really[/i] justify it. Keep in mind that this game will not involve the Dreaming Dark, making Kalashtar a hard sell. Players will be picked based upon the cohesion of the concepts to form a group (who will be presumed to have worked together before), and the "fun-to-play-with" factor of the ideas. The nature of the group (i.e., why they are together) can be determined as the game starts. As stated, this is my first PBP game, though not the first I have DM'd. Be prepared for some initial road bumps. Looking forward to it!
