Rules and RTJs

Welcome friends and players.

I will be allowing Homebrew material on a case by case basis so if you want something interesting find a way to show it to me.

Even if I outright say no to something I'll likely tell you why I did so and we may even be able to work out a way to dampen it and allow it in.

Books and races

Ok, I have pdfs for almost all the books so as long as it is appropriately 3.5 and doesn't make my spine curl I'm liable to allow it. (Please no MinMaxing insanity, this is my 2nd game after all)

Races, you wanna play something not core, ask. You wanna play a homebrew race, ask. My only outright rules are presently no LA over +2

The Rating of this game will be adult as I will freely admit to being a pervert so I'd rather play it safe. As such I will be requiring a statement of age from each player to join the game.

Forgot to remove the age statement req, this is a game that was around before the policy change, and I thank the person who pointed out its lack of need.

Inactivity

Ok, we all have those periods of a few days or so where we can't check in, and conversely, we all have those games that go for a few days without anything being posted.
All I ask is that if you have any plans that will remove you from the game for more than a day or two then please say so either in the OOC or a msg to me.

RTJs, yay

Ok, I know not everyone has talent with filling out a background for a character in time for a deadline so let's see what I can work up. Don't worry this will be a (Role/Roll)play so you don't need to be skilled with word play.

I'd like

1. the Age statement first please.
2. character name
3. short description of what you want them to do
4. maybe a bit of background, this doesn't have to be a biography
5. Some kind of character gimmick, maybe you're hydrophobic or perhaps you have outright hatred for anyone who begins a monologue. (these are not Traits and Flaws, see character building thread)
6. Perhaps a goal your character wants to accomplish
7. (we're sorry, this is a WIP, please ignore it)

Re: Rules and RTJs

I will say now that recruiting is limited, and it isn't 1st come 1st serve.



I'll be picking and choosing players and their chars based on how interesting I find their ideas for one.

Trying to not give 2 people the exact same roles (does a party need two overly psychotic berserkers who drink the blood of their enemies?)

and some other 3rd thing I haven't figured out yet.

Re: Rules and RTJs

Ok, there seems to be a trend to the RTJs that is repeating over and over.

1. they want to play some kind of caster.
    While there is nothing wrong with this, nearly ALL of the RTJs aside from 2 or 3 have been for Casters, and there's no Ranger-type applications at all.

which brings me to a second point

2. Please, do not make your character a direct rip of a character from a well known series. going for the same ability set and general personality I'm ok with, but name and history as well...I'm not.


Those of you who aren't added today will get a day or two to refine your applications.

Re: Rules and RTJs

Thank you everyone for your shows of interest. Those of you who've made the cut have been added, those of you who didn't, haven't.

For now, Recruitment is closed.

Re: Rules and RTJs

Okay, with this resurrection comes the need for a few more players.

  Right now our party has 3 members, 1 of which (myself) will only be used as needed.

They are a Combat Bruiser, a Necromantic Healer (as well as disabler), and uh Jack of all Trades seems a good description for my contribution.


As you can see, there are open roles that I'd like to see filled. Damage Caster, Ranger, Skiller.  You don't need to be clear-cut for this role, I will accept substitutes, but it might help. (I'm a sucker for a good character idea though)


I suggest submitting two character concepts and labelling what each of them is before starting work on a character sheet.

Aside from that, I believe that all the rules remain the same.

Re: Rules and RTJs

Ok, tomorrow is the last day I'll be accepting applications.

Better hurry up and finish those submissions.
