DnD Splitoff Campaign

The Argent Lord · 12-21-2008, 02:10 PM

New first post is here!

Plot: You were in a coastal land for reason to be explained by you, and managed to piss off the lord who rules there. Again, how that happened is to be explained by you. In any case, you were pursued by his personal guard, and only just managed to escape on a ship. (Stolen? Borrowed from an associate? Again, explained by you. You may be seeing a pattern here.) In any case, you have two real choices. First, you could head back to the shore at some point. This is dangerous because you think the lord has probably called out a bounty on you. The other option is heading out to sea. You know there are other lands there, but they're not well charted. You have supplies for a decent journey, but you'd be shooting in the dark trying to find civilization.

Level: 5
Starting gold: 9000
Alignment: Any
Books: Core Rulebooks allowed, others at my discretion.
Method: Play-by-post
Character Sheets: Preferably hosted on Myth Weavers.

Current players:
Mac
Mr. Bookworm*
PhoenixFlame*
Menarker*
Attila the Pun
secretskull*
Megaman FTW*

Linked if the character sheet is in, starred if the person has confirmed they're playing.

I'll have my sheet up late tomorrow

Mr.Bookworm · 12-21-2008, 10:51 PM

As in the other thread, I want in.

Could you do a background/available books/relevant info fact-sheet?

They've got five players already, there's only four in this one, so you should probably join up here. Explanation of the campaign premise:

Quote:

All right, so I think I'm gonna make my campaign a bit more serious that Attila's. So far what I have is, you pissed off the lord of the countryside you were adventuring in. A lot. He put a fairly large bounty on your heads. So various unsavory characters were after you, and your only way out without dying was to steal a ship and set out to sea. Problem now is, you're fairly sure he'll send word down the coastline for you to be apprehended if you put into port. So you either need to find a way to sneak back to land without being noticed, or head out into the uncharted ocean in hopes of finding another landmass, preferably inhabited.

This will be a pretty open-ended sort of thing, kind of a Darths and Droids DMing style. Basically, if you make up in-character details about the world, I'll incorporate them. I'd like a decent amount of roleplaying, too, with fleshed-out backstories for characters and such.

Available books, I'd prefer you stay as core as possible. I do have access to all the 3.5 books, but I'd like you to run anything non-core by me before use.

PhoenixFlame · 12-22-2008, 02:39 AM

Complete anything?

Level 1? Point Buy? Rolled? Starting Gold?

Menarker · 12-22-2008, 03:00 AM

Apparently the layout is level 5, Rolled and 9000 gold to start.

The Argent Lord · 12-22-2008, 12:14 PM

Yep, sorry. I forgot to mention that for simplicity's sake, I'll use the same setup Atilla is using.

As to Complete books, like I said, just run it past me. It's mostly just so I don't have to worry about someone doing something later and I go "Wait, what? How'd he do that?"

PhoenixFlame · 12-22-2008, 12:33 PM

I'm just wondering if I can take the jummy feats like Flick of the Wrist (So concealed weapons mean something) and dipping swashbuckler so my intelligence means something more than mere skillpoints, since I won't be dipping wizard.

Oh, and so I can get weapon finesse without mysteriously being a sniper for 2 levels before suddenly learning how to flourish a rapier. XD

The Argent Lord · 12-22-2008, 01:15 PM

That should be fine.

Could I go Swordsage? I just got ToB, and I really want to try it out.

If not, howabout Beguiler?

...

That may quite possibly be the best roll I've ever had in my life.

Usually I get like 9, 9, 12, 15, 10, 12.
