What do you want to play? (Just curious not DMing)

[Manzanita]

There are a lot of good modules out there from over the past 25 years or so that wouldn't take a lot of effort for a DM to run. Not as much as a homebrew campaign, at any rate. I'd like to see some DMs run the Banewarrens, The Temple of Elemental Evil, Tomb of Horrors, Against the Giants, Shackled city etc. I know some of these have been tried, and are going on, but I think theres plenty of players left who'd like to try them. I think this would be a good way for a new DM to get going on PbP.

On OA game would be really cool. Might even want to DM one some day in the future, but right now I know that I went over board with the 3 I am doing. One that I have been wanting to try is a Malhavoc only game, where anything from their books is okay as long as you dont even need the SRD to run with it. Largely AU but with intersting things thrown into the mix like Chaositech and When the Sky Falls.

I'd really like to run or play in a Hollow World campaign. You could have a lot of fun mixing rulesets to reproduce the 1E mechanics; every elf is a mageblade, every dwarf a warmain, every halfling an unfettered.

This whole thread was a good idea, Brother S. I hope some potential DMs are reading.

Here's something I've been looking for ever since I started on these boards, and have NEVER found.

You know how so many heroes of fantasy literature are veritable supermen. Strong, hansome, smart, alert. Think Conan, Aragorn, John Carter, Fafherd, Elric... They also generally have only one or two magic items.

I think this milieu is totally unrepresented on these boards. You can never build Conan on a 32 point buy. Also, by the time PCs become epicly powerful, they are absolutely weighed down with magic. Covered with amulets, belts, rings, quivers, and bracers.

I'd like to see a campaign start, preferably at 1st level, but whatever, that is very low magic acquisition, but lets the PCs have very high ability scores.

I suppose that whole milieu is unrepresented by D&D...

I love to play low level characters. I've been DMing my group from 3rd to 9th level in a single campaign. Now we're starting at 1st again with 3.5 rules.

I've always liked to DM a war situation. Characters in a major battle... that's fun.

It's also fun to play a character which can rise from a private into an officer. A cleric gets his own temple when he's experienced enough etc. So far, players have loved it! In my games you can get much more than just experience, money and items.

Ok, I am up for DMing another game, but I am going to put my foot in it and say I will DM whatever the consensus is here - along the libes of D&D 3.5 with Unearthed Arcana, Savage Species, Core books and a few others. You give me the setup, I will do the rest!

Ok, Here's a listing of the Idea's so far, ping me if I've missed one, they've been mixed up some to avoid grouping. Looks like we can vote, once each of us, and once we have 4 voting for a game, Ghostknight can say whether DMing would be an option for that setting.

We can remove any that he won't DM if that is acceptable. Suggestions? Comments? Does this work?

A new thread with a poll might work better...

Oriental Adventures Low Magic (uber character) - Manzanita and Isida ideas combined.

This has my vote.

 

[Ghostknight]

Ok, the ones I can go with (others are out because I do not have the necessary settings - except for retro modules where I do not have the desire and Tord where the conversion is just too massive- I mean it has fantasy, horror, cyber, modern, prehistoric all rolled into one!)

If someone wants to type this up as a poll, go ahead - ptherwise we can vote here! In each case the suggesting player gets first slot (unless unwanted) and due to the large number of people above I will allowing seven others (more than eight will really be unwieldy in PbP, it is bad enough in tabletop!)
