Message: <blockquote data-quote="Angel of Adventure" data-source="post: 2158061" data-attributes="member: 19165">Just reserving some space for my upcoming Story Hour and thought I'd put in some meta-game notes.This campaign is inspired by my ever growing need for Epic adventure.  As you may know, I game with The Jester and he's split his game into 2 groups - Epic Level and a lower level Halfling party.  As I have numerous RL responsibilities, I have to forgo the lower level game (almost) entirely and my time in the Epic game is sometimes hard to come by.  However, I love Epic gaming for a number of reasons:  high stakes, horrible monsters, and the grand roleplaying challenges that come from a party that has so many resources at its disposal.  But how does a DM, especially a relative novice on like myself, start up an Epic Level game without an existing campaign world?  How do you adaquetly challenge these high level characters with a good balance of action and roleplaying?  I spent a lot of time thinking this over and, with 3 (now 4) enthusiastic players, we began our journey into this strange, seemingly desolate world with the hope that we all will have a rewarding experience.I've started everyone out at 20th level, allowing them to use nearly any base class/prestige class that is in the Wizards of the Coast library.  They all started out with a slew of items and money that they've quickly come to see as being not nearly enough to have every base covered.  I also gave each of them the Leadership Feat for free and advised them that (hopefully) the campaign will be equal parts Action/Roleplaying/Empire Building.  I'd like to thank the Jester for his ongoing advice about DMing and for all the great roleplaying experience I've received from playing in his game.  Also, his Cydra Yahoo! Group is an awesome supplement to my game.  My players have been delighted by the options available in his Player's Guide to Cydra and I am confident I can pay him back by playtesting some of his stuff.First update to follow soon and thanks in advance for any readership/input you all provide.</blockquote>
