Heya, I've beem getting back into those WarCraft: The Roleplaying Game and World of WarCraft: The Roleplaying Game books from White Wolf, and was wondering if there were any Game Masters to run a game using either/or?
I'm only interested in the White Wolf materials, and not in conversions.  Just the White Wolf stuff.


While I hate saying, "Well, I want is...", here goes!
Time Period: Between The Frozen Throne and the onset of World of WarCraft.  Or, during the "vanilla" World of WarCraft experience.
Faction: Independent.
-Personally, I think the faction war thing is dumb and that the only members of the Alliance and Horde to continue their slapfight should be shunned extremists, malcontents, and bigots.  It'd be nice to see a group of people who've more or less thrown factional ties to the wind and adventure for the good of all -- or themselves.  The Argent Dawn and/or Cenarion Circle might be nice factions to explore working for.

I'd even settle for like... a string of those sample adventurers in the backs of the Lands of... and faction books.   ;___;


Any takers for Game Master?



PLEASE KEEP DIVERGENT CAMPAIGN PITCHES AND PLAYER CHARACTER PITCHES ELSEWHERE   This thread's gotten pretty big for something that hasn't gone anywhere...

In reply to SCARY WIZARD (msg # 1):

Depending on the available sources I could play this. Perhaps a mercenary company even?

"We will forsake our countries. We will leave our motherlands behind us and become one with this earth. We have no nation, no philosophy, no ideology. We go where we're needed, fighting, not for government, but for ourselves. We need no reason to fight. We fight because we are needed. We will be the deterrent for those with no other recourse. We are soldiers without borders, our purpose defined by the era we live in. We will sometimes have to sell ourselves and services. If the times demand it, we'll be revolutionaries, criminals, terrorists. And yes, we may all be headed straight to hell. But what better place for us than this? It's our only home. Our heaven and our hell. This is Outer Heaven."

Yes, it is from another game, but if we all want to have freedom on what to play, perhaps it is the best option.

Stirring!  And, I agree wholeheartedly.

Your quote fits very well with the idea I had for an Independent: a half-elven sorceress (2E: mage or focused mage) who's had an overall rotten tone with the Alliance and doesn't want to stick around to enjoy alleged tolerances, and who knows better than to take her chances among the Horde.  ...and, yet, she knows there's good, so she stands up for it.

If this happens, we have to select codenames.
Mine will be Hasted Krenshar.

You wanna, go ahead!  I'm not really hot on that, but it could be fun role-play for you and seem as a sort of a quirk -- maybe we come upon some sending stones and you're snooping about Timbermaw hold and you spot a Satyr Hellcaller harrassing the Furbolgs, and say, "This is Hasted Krenshar.  The Satyr has begun beguiling the Furbolgs.".
Then, everyone else in their waiting spot just kind of looks at each other, rolls their eyes and laughs or sighs, and springs to action.

Krenshar?!... Krenshar!... Krenshaaaaaaarrrrr!!!

Perhaps a good DM can offer us gestalt, with the clause of that one of the classes must be full bab or at least not magical and very Special Ops.

I'm not really "feeling" the Gestalt for this, myself...

Hmmm... I'm very, very tentatively considering this. BUT..

I'm pretty much a terrible n00b GM.

Summary
Somewhere between TFT and WoW.
Mercenary company
While that means that there is choice. Certain choices will attract a lot of attention, depending on which continent you are on and who you decide to help.
The current situation would be.

The Blood Elves (newly minted name) have withdrawn to silver moon under Lorthemar, since kaelthas current state is unknown.

The forsaken don't really exist as a unified faction yet while sylvanas gathers followers.

The orcs and the horde in general are focussing on maintaining and reinforcing orgrimmar and thunder bluff.

Humanity and the alliance are reeling and desperately trying to salvage what they can after many years of war and the loss of their two strongest capitals and the apparent loss of the mage school of dalaran.

The ravages of war has meant new races across the world are trying to gain ground.

I don't trust myself to even try balancing for gestalt, sorry.

We have one definite half elf spellcaster
And two other interests

Ok, what sources do you allow?

Wwweeellllll~ I could point some people from elsewhere, here, too!  I'm actually building on someone's interest, and they gave me an itch and a hankering.   >:D  I'll show them here!

I am interested too. Can we use Tome of Magic?

Hey there! I'm one of those people from elsewhere. Not the one who originally got the ball rolling, but an early adopter.

I've been considering an orc shaman more concerned with the earth than the different groups of the people making war on its surface, so the independent angle works well for me. Someone who senses the scars of the Third War in the land of Kalimdor still, and feels an overriding need to mend them before something even worse comes along.

My one request regarding material is that if we're using World of Warcraft books, I want to use the updated version of the shaman class from Even More Magic & Mayhem, the ebook that capped off the game. It just kinda retools the proficiencies and class abilities to be closer to a proper shaman than the "druid with all the animals shaved off" from the base book. I would ask to use the mana points system because it fits the tone of the series more than Vancian spell slots, but that's a LOT of extra math to force on everybody else so I'm not super invested in that.
