[QUOTE="tjasamcarl, post: 307087, member: 6007"] I'm taking my first stab at dming through a play-by-post game in these in-character forums. To kick it off, i'm going through a few low-level modules. I request the assistance of 4 players and their respective 1st level pcs in doing this. 32 point buy, max starting treasure. I'm open to all Wotc sources for feats, classes, and prcs, though before the latter is taken, i would appreciate a heads up. The world is hombrew, though the setting will be the generic feudal kingdom of Horator. The world is divided by adherence to three seperate pantheons that arose from the collapse of the Som empire centuries before: the northern church, the southern, and D'or, or the 'Faith of the Sands'. They all corrispond to political affiliations centered around three empires, whether these are real states, like the southern Som empire, or only such in name, such as the northern empire and to a lesser degree that of the D'or. These three spheres also carry three 'common' languages: northern common, southern common, and sand common. Horator acts as a crossroads of trade and is in fact geographically located between Northern and Southern lands. The D'or caliphate is located to the distand south and east, beyond the Southern Som empire. But peoples of all three cultures can be found within its boarders, the population being split evenly between peoples of the north and south, D'orites limited to traders within the cities... For prospective clerics: all domains are available to all pantheons, with the exception of the D'or faith, which lacks the chaos domain, being a lawful aligned creed. For an individual cleric, domains are limited by particular choice of patron diety, again with the exception of the D'or whose dieties share both clerics and adherents. The elemental gods are members of all pantheons, though their clerics are divided along those lines...If you have question about individual dieties, email me... We will kick off with the 'Burning Plague', a popular 1st level module. The party will start off running in the town of Duvik's Pass, located at the bottlneck of the Yellow Valleys, hemmed between different expanses of the Serpentcoil Mountains that cross the entire southern expanse of Horator. I will accept the first four prospective players who post character stats and a SHORT background in this thread. I would prefer one post per day, but will accept 1 per three. The pace and focus of this campaign will be 'old school'. Keep character exposition subtle, primarily a matter of tone, and not the function of long drawn-out exchanges that slow the pace of the game. Each player is free to start a Journal thread to further flesh out their character for anyone who might be interested, but lets keep all in-game posts directly relevant to the GAME. Gotta love hack-n-slash!! This is a practical conscern, as i would like to get a quick handle on the rules, being my first time. Thanks for reading and any interest you have......
