High City / Dark is Rising

This game will be a very different combination of styles..it will be extremely complex politically and magically...more so than any one has experienced on any of my en world games to date. Further..magic is rampant...with some very odd twists..religion will also have a few twistis..but all deities are permissable.

The game will revolve heavily around the characters and their actions..so be prepared for extensive inter party discourse and interaction as well as one overarching universial theme. There will be a series of short quick adventures...a chance at quick areana style combat games..the leading of armies..long drawn out sieges..massed attacks by wild bores, as well as the good ole fashion dungeon crawl.

The one ground rule is this..if your character dies..he will die giving the number of players I am going to accept...a few exceptions can be made..but if one dies...you may as well be prepared to roll up another one.

Also it needs to be noted that in this particular game...dont be quoting rules at the dm saying 4e does not permit this or that...there is an entire backstory as to why things happen and I ask for your trust that I keep it reasonable an blanaced....so if your going to be a rules lawyer this is not the game for you...

Woo hoo! Dibs! But I have three characters active in 4e on living worlds so if I'm the odd one out, I won't mind! Active's are runepriest, dual wielding fighter and a warlock (leader, defener and a striker). I played a priest in real life...therefore, if you need anything specific speak up. I'd like to try something exotic. While I know you don't approve of psionics, monk seems like an interesting options and he's not overtly 'psionic'

Would that do?

Since you won't be restarting any of the old games, I just thought I'd drop a line and say it has been a pleasure gaming with you!

Have fun with the new campaign. It certainly sounds interesting!

Sounds like fun, JA! I'm certainly willing if you'll have me.

The character that I'm thinking of is a: (drum roll, please)

Human Barbarian - would this work in the game, JA, or would a barbarian just be totally out of place, 'cause I can easily come up with another idea if you want.

One side note: psionics in 4E is nothing like psionics in previous editions. It just uses the Psionic Powe Source, like the other power sources, Divine, Marshall, Arcane, and Primal. As far as I know, you must take a psionic class to use that power source, and the powers should be very much in line with all the other powers for other characters.

JA, I'll have to pass on this one I'm afraid. I've got all the 4E games I can handle right now - three of them - and am not really adding even any Pathfinder games. Though I'd have made an exception for one of your games if you were going Pathfinder.

Sorry JA, as many know already I do not do the 4th ed stuff. Good luck.

 

[ghostcat]

"So long and thanks for all the fish" Sorry, JA. Like Scott, I don't do 4E. Have a good game.

It seems I'm alone in this

EDIT: no, Leif is in too. So the party of two?

Standard items? One level +1; one level; one level -1 and some gold?
