Whimsical D&D (3.5) ideas

Ive only recently returned to rpol. I definitely also want to throw my name in as a possible plate. Though Im late to the party and expect only to be picked if one of the original 4 is no longer in the running.

Been a long time fan of the goblins comic, though I havent read it in a while.

Whimsical D&D (3.5) ideas

It's taken me longer than a couple weeks to properly assign the board.

Edit: Sorry to go psychodelic, but I wanted this to noticed. I think I am not safe to post again, and so would prefer to just edit this as necessary. This way I can finalize some discrepancies in the wording of my original message. This game is giving first priority to players that posted here. Those that posted here can RTJ first. I already have other RTJs that are friends of those that posted here. WE have about eight total candidates, not counting those here, that haven't RTJ yet.

As GrizzlyBear91 mentioned, it's good to have a back up, or more than one back up. Whether my game works out or not, it's good to have options. :)

Here is my game: link to another game

Please RTJ and let me know if you posted here, or not. Just be honest about what you can be. My timeline was to expect RTJs by the 3rd. Since it appeared as if I was not accepting players at all, which was not the case, but was poor choice of words; I am going to reset my timeline. I really would like to see RTJ by the 3rd. I really need them by the 9th, in the format asked. I can start when everyone has their sheet made. I really want Valentine's Day to be the final day of prep. Be it shared character backgrounds, rules questions, or debates. I want the opening scene to start before then.

Visit the game board for all further communication. I feel I am forbidden to continue correspondance on my game. If another GM comes along, I may be permitted to ask "Hey, can I play?" but that will be if and when another GM does present themself.

Thank you for rereading this. I apologize for any misunderstandings! from preedit

It do be that way sometimes.
Is there any timeline you have in mind? I'd have to give it some thought because there's about eleventeen jillion (that's 1BJ000000 for those who need digits) options in 3.5e and also some ideas mesh more smoothly than others with others' ideas.

Still open to another game or two (I like having redundancy) in case anyone else would also be interested in running this. V's game won't likely kick off for a while anyway.

Whimsical D&D (3.5) ideas

using D&D 5e PHB, DMG, MM, Volo's, Xanathar's, and Tasha's books.

Goblins as a race as listed in Volo's.

Semi-silly, semi-serious campaign. sorry i just can get behind a full-on silly campaign.

campaign set up:
idea 1 - PCs are goblin rogues in their crime saga in the Goblin quarter of some yet to be named city.
idea 2 - PCs are goblin expatriates fleeing their burning homeland after angering an all too mighty ancient dragon.
idea 3 - PCs are goblin explorers wanting to be 'truly legendary' by working for a wayward young adult dragon with a low IQ.
idea 4 - PCs are goblin bard's looking to live the 'good life' in a land of normal races (elves, humans, dwarfs, halflings, etc.).

4 to 6 players only.

anyone interested?

Those do sound interesting, JAM. Number 4 slightly less so. ;P

If you lean more serious than silly then number 2 would be my favorite. If you took 3 and swapped Goblins to Kobolds you'll be my scalykind hero for life! I'm ok with 5e, but also with 3.5 since that what GrizzlyBear91 was requesting.

That idea sounds interesting, JAM.

Idea 2 and 1 sound like they could be fun!

I would like #1 best... MAYBE #2, but I'd like that a lot less.

My main problem-- I'm not a 5.0 guy, so I'd need someone to walk me through the 5.0ness at first...

JAM2019, I see you hace DMed Pathfinder in the past. If you can't make 5e fly, you can give PF a try :) I am sure that most of the people here would join that, me included.

I'd be fine with PF 1e as well, and 3.5 is largely backwards-compatible. If you use PF's style Goblins it would set a different tone, but I'd be 100% there for it -- I love those football-head pyromaniacs! ;)

I'd be interested. I'm good with either PF or D&D 5e.

remind me to that you guys were from this thread for this game originally. it's because of you this game is being set up, so you guys have first dibs on acceptance into the game.

Whimsical D&D (3.5) ideas

I'd be up to play a 3.5 game, if a GM (besides I) steps up to GM. No interest in PF. Neither an inferior nor superior system, just more I learn, less I can rely on in being "D&D compatible". I might have loved it, if it was around the time Living Dragonforce was out. IRL, I'm too old to learn new system unless it's novel. So I'm interested in D&D 3.5 (now that I'm out of my RL crisis) if Grizzly has another GM reply.

I really hope Grizzly has options. Plural, and not just a couple. I'd love to see a few GMs step up...with an ad that meets the OP stricture. I can only speak from my perspective, I think the PF and non 3.5 game ads may not be in line with Grizzly's request. Grizzly can correct me if I'm wrong. I think D&D 3.5, with some homerules (probably) is what's being asked. No matter what; Best luck to Grizzly! :)
