Meduiem undecided, 3.5 epicness Attempt

[Pul]

Alright, sorry for the lame thread name, but as of now, this is what I know.

I want to run a fast paced game (How fast depends on the gaming medium I.E. PbP or OpenRPG) So that within a year, we will be wrapping it up.

That being said, wrapping it up means (to me) 100% badassness and just pure carnage. Yes this game will be primarily hack and slash unless you guys are strong RP'rs and can create an interesting RP group. (No offense, but to pull off a good RP based game, (to me) requires extreame RPing, of which I'm not sure i can pull off completely...)

As stated, it would be a 3.5 campaign, but there are some odd rulings I kind of want which i'll list.

Odd stuff:
You need to be unique, no typical human thug warrior or mercenary. You need to be different.
You have to have some tie to a background element of people. Like say a Sorccorer came from the rumored Cult Of Weird Stuff, or something alike.
I highly suggest your background doesn't involve you making those people kill you, other groups can, but have 1 tie that doesn't hate your guts.


Classes, The weirder they are, the more likely I'll let it pass. Same goes with Races. The more unique your character is, the more likely it will be accepted. No Human Cleric of Pelor, No wizard who studied at the wizards school. I want creativity into your character because it will directly affect situations in game.

Alignment is going to be interesting.. I'm willing to run a good guy or bad guy campaign, or a mix. As a hint, I can probably offer a more interesting game if you guys are for the most part good, as in you don't want to ruin the world. That's a good guy pretty much to me.

I'll explain a bit more, If you just murder for fun, evil. Killing somebody because they started a fight and you don't show mercy, while the guards may arrest you, your not the "bad guy" so far as story.

Ok, down to the good stuff. I do plan to hit epic levels, how high, I don't know. So having an Epic level Handbook would be handy, I don't have a problem homeruling things. In fact, if it is awesome but not horridly broken, talk to me, I'll homerule it to work. (I.E, Skin colors, auras, faint glows, slight mental powers like lifting a feather, must tie into class a bit)

Story is going to probably have an not too crazy start, You will all start out at level 5, and have a portion of land in a kingdom, how it is acquired, you can tell me ^^. (Inheirtance, recent acts you've done, you are level 5) Then there will be a calling and that is where the story starts.

As for how to play, I would prefer a OpenRPG or something other than PbP, because PbP is retardedly slow and near impossible to keep momentum.

Any questions? I think I covered it all, but feel free to PM or ask here.

O, I would prefer game times to be like, Wednesdays 5 PM -8GMT to like, 9PM -8GMT. Flexible but not much

PS
Looking for 4-5 players.

I'd be intrested in playing preferably over OpenRPG. I have some interesting character concepts, but I'd have to get your view on level adjustments, because one of them requires a very high level adj. Also, what books are you allowing or is it one of those everything goes campaigns?

Lol I meant to say Maptools, or OpenRPG.

[Pul]

Book wise, I'm pretty open, no Book of Nine Swords though,

Important!!!


Also, should mention... Melee classes will be tweaked somewhat like Pathfinder did. In fact, Barbarian and Rogue will be pretty much PF, But I have to approve of you useing that class.. I'm allowing PF due to melee classes will kinda suck in epic level, so I'll accept PF melee classes and will adjust others like it, But it is a 3.5 because it will be 3.5 rules otherwise and 3.5 just has insane game content.

Just tell me which book you are using, If I have it, No problem, if I don't we would have to talk.

As for OpenRPG or Maptools, itll just have to go to majority.

[Pul]

Wow, Epic fail, I spelled Medium incorrectly in the thread title...

*Facepalm in shame*

[Squeek]

I may be interested, though a few things:

Can we possibly start a little later? Like... two hours or so later starting? 8 - 11(12) ish? If not workable, fine.

Secondly, if you're allowing PF melee classes, might you consider using the PF base classes all together?

I've been wanting to play a Hellbred race for a while. If time of play is adjustable, I'll see what I can cook up.

[Pul]

Umm, I don't know about magic classes, if I were to use the PF base and 3.5 supplementry ones, Not sure how that would work.

The only reason I would allow PF melee classes is because 3.5 melee classes kinda suck, except for the monk.

I'm willing to work, considering the two are close to one another. But I am allowing 3.5 supplemental classes.

Also, Hellbred? Care to enlighten me about those? They sound awesome.

As for the time, 8-11 would be pushing it for me, considering I do have school and wensday is the only day Im avaliable for a DnD thing.

MAAAAAAAAAYBE Saturday but I have another game on sat, plus I'd like to have the weekend to myself for relaxation(it is a short session group). As for the rest of the week its school and Judo class.

Again, I am flexible, so letme know and I'll see what I can do.

As for level adjustments, we can do that, level 5. It is your own expense though, Or I could tone it done some, say take out some Stat bonuses to reduce the adjustment,

[Kalya]

I was thinking of a fay'ri spellthief, so thats a level adj of 3, so I'd start at level 2. How does that sound. I'd have to make up an intresting background for the character however.

[Rodgin Kemph]

I'd be game, but I'm a PBP kind of guy due to my 16 hours day work schedule. I'm a solid 1-2 post per day player though.

I've got some good ideas, but I won't post anything till I here on the medium (or large) of play.

[Pul]

For the posting medium, again I would prefer some form of a 'live' play, like MapTools or OpenRPG, but if everybody prefers PbP, the will of the people...

Would work for more details (PbP) but you cover so little with 1-2 posts a day even when everybody does that, which doesn't happen...

I'm in a few PbP for a few weeks, and we could of covered all of the game content in maybe an hour a piece,
Plus I want to run an accelerated game (Fast leveling), to cover ground quickly so you guys are epic level kinda quick, but you feel like you created your character through what you've done, instead of what you said in your background.
