hello all!
well, to start it all off > im 17 and a Canuck, and i have been playing D&D (AD&D in the very beginning, but then to 3e and now 3.5e) since i was 11, chilling with some buddies in someones basement or in my camper at my cabin for an entire weekend; incrediably entertained by some shoddy character sheets, a used Forgotten Realms Boxed Set (the Myth Drannor one, for those whose care) and my LG dwarf fighter named Grungi who was the proud weilder of a "modified" Bardiche of which the haft was hacked off partway, doing an impressive 1d10 damage per hit (hey, like i said, i was 11). Anyways, having come a long way from then, I am now a DM running two campaigns, one being in the Realms (still a favourite of mine) and the other being set in Ascension - Paths of Power, my very own setting.
The works of JRR Tolkien have been a forerunner in the influences that shape my gameplay and Dming style. ACS (meaning Ascension Campaign Setting) is a low-magic world set back in a time of uncertainty and warfare, corresponding to our own Crusade era; although my current game isnt dealing with the Crusade factor (being Dragons Crusades, of all things
, heh heh) and i have done some rule revisions, created original races (well, i should say, Tolkien-inspired races) and i have changed/excluded/revised the core classes and i haev done some other rule adjustments that make more sense than "if you miss in combat, nothing happens".
I am planning on posting in the future, and i have a MSN group
http://groups.msn.com/Ascension-PathsofPower of which you are welcome to join and become a member, although at this time, i have basically been transfereing 6 years worth of notes onto my computer in the hopes on then transfering those to the website, and to sum that up, there are different areas set up, but nothing in them yet. So have patience!
Anyways, from what i have seen here, this site has alot of potential to make my experience (and yours, considereing you are all here) involving D&D a lot better! so three cheers for Morris, Tolkien, and WotC (well, maybe just D20 in general, lmao)!
