The Portal (Always Recruiting)

[Endovior]

Okay, new game starting. It's based off a concept that I've had for a while, and have recently been pestered... ah, persuaded to run as a PbP game.

The concept is this: the real world is in danger (various UBER-problems), and the only way to save it is for YOU (the player) to physically travel to a fantasy world (specifically, a D&D world!) and fight the evils therin.

As it was my RL sister, currently not a member of these boards, that was the one that got me to do this with a bunch of her (also non-member) friends, this thread will likely become a newbie magnet, but I'd expect offhand to have a bunch of board members join as well.

There's no real limit on the number of people who can join, but if too many are interested, I'll form seperate parties.

3.5e rules, core books only, 1st-level characters, 200 Gp starting cash.

Note: The game has already started, but I'm keeping recruiting open indefinitely. I usually run worlds, as opposed to adventures, which makes it easy to run any number of parties at any point in time. Feel free to join!

Figured YOU would be interested!

In any event, further info:

The plot starts with a semi-apocalyptic climactic change. Picture the start of 'The Day After Tomorrow', with scientists all over the place predicting doom, and a new Ice Age is starting. Then, suddenly, all over the Earth all forms of electronic communication are suddenly subverted by a well-dressed man, claiming to be an Archmage from another plane. He says that he has discovered that our world is in a situation as bad as ours, and he has devised a method by which both can be saved. In his world, the human race is being killed off by its hostile enemies, and only one great human city still stands. He has a spell which will link the fates of one world's humans to that of the other's... which will prevent the coming Ice Age... IF, and only IF, our world can send it's people to defend theirs. He can facilitate this transfer by means of cross-dimensional portals... but the trip is strictly one-way. He ends the communication saying that he is opening the portals now... and at that moment, regular broadcasting resumes, revealing the opening of portals in major cities across the globe. All the players have, for one reason or another, decided to accept this task, and enter the portal. Having done so, you find yourself in a strange void between dimensions, with a user-friendly graphical system asking you to design the form you wish to enter the world in... and the system is asking you to choose attributes and race and class and other things, in a way that seems exactly like D&D.

Oh, before I forget, attributes are assigned by the standard point buy, 25 points.
