The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

Oh ... and I should mention one other thing. Evil pc's and "chaotic greedy" pc's have a VERY difficult time in my games.

Well, that covers alignment well enough. Adventure type? city, diplomatic, wilderness, dungeon, actiony? General hints?

Well frogman ... I like to have a mixture of environments.

But the first place everyone will be headed to will be a town.

I also like to mix action with thinking with social interaction with puzzles with history intense all at the same time, emphasizing one or the other as occasion arises.

Aeson sir ... you are cordially invited if you would be interested. It would be a PBeM game ... and it looks like I am the DM. :\

Whaddaya think? Feel free to check the other posts for more details, although it is all rather amorphous at the moment.

I'm in the middle of something at the moment. I might look over the posts later.

I suggested a PBP game to Bront. He's getting it started and I haven't taken the time to get a character ready for that. I don't know if I can do your game as well.

Good hint. Versatility will be important.

Scratch the wheelchair riding, emphezmatic elven bard.
Scratch the berzerking, foul smelling half-giant barbarian berserker.

...

I'll see what calls to me.

No worries Aeson. I don't have the regularity of schedule that a PbP game would require, or else I would join you. (As opposed to Frogman and Fru seem to have the time and resources available to them.)

I have tried a PbP game some time ago and it just didn't work - mainly b/c of the erratic work schedule I have. :\

Half giant is technically a race from the expanded psionics book. I decided to only make the maenad and elan races from that book avaiable to the pc's here ... so in that respect you are in good shape.

A wheelchair riding ... wha? ...

No ... I think he might have some difficulty ... getting around, shall we say?

This is a dream come true for me. I've always done hack'n'slash, nothing wrong with it, but I've never done a game of mental stimulation before.

Emphezmatic? A word I probably made up. Having emphezema is what I was going for. I think Raistlin had emphezema, or something like it. Basically it would be a character totally unsuited for anything other that a totally city bound game of intrigue and diplomacy.

And nuts to you and your racial restrictions, make him a half-orc then.

Sorry to see the gripli unavailable though. I might still have to call my character 'Haf' though. I like that name for the unassuming stable-boy kind of character. Sort of like 'Hap' only it's me

Half orcs barbarians would work. I wouldn't restrict your pc to a personality "type", though. Let it develop!

Isn't it spelled emphysema, btw?

I think that is an homage to Professor Xavier.
