Epic level D&D

[Guest]

You my friend are under a delusion spell.

That must be my fault. I thought I cast the confusion spell on him.

Drat, I'm rusty!

Maybe my supplies are too old.

not with my Will saves, i'm not.

that's it, he must have thrown a good save and only became delusional rather than confused.

I can tell, scylis, you'd be a tough character for the DM.

*branches crawling unbeknownst to character scylis and wrapping around his ankles. No saving throw allowed*

HAH!

 

[scylis]

oh, and i'll probably end up being DM if we do a FR campaign, seeing as how i'm the only one with the FR campaign setting book plus one or two more (that and i am Realms savy for just getting into FR since Baldur's Gate came out on puter)

I've played Baldur'd Gate. Multi even with 5 other people. That's a fun game.

 

[Sillyman]

I know very little about FR. I'm a Ravenloft man myself. Sounds like a good argument there scylis. I'll run with it.

I have a drow character too...her name's Lady Rhiamn.

 

[scylis]

i'm a drow Rog 6/Rgr of Eilistraee 14

name's Galen Scylis

Are you talking Forgotten Realms? I'm familiar with FR if you are.

 

[Sillyman]

I know it's a bad idea to pee in Elminster's coffee and that's about it.


I probaly play something like a CG Sorceror 4/Rogue 3 Halfling.

that he be.

I usually stick to human but elves and drow are fun. I like the bonus spells drow get...drow cleric/wizards and wizard/rogues can get wild. Wizards are only good if you're at least at mid level.

For the Baldurs Gate games its actually best keeping your main character as a basic fighter while developing the special skills of all the npcs you get (I couldn't help it...theres an extensive walkthrough floating around on the net).

well, when the dude's a Ftr 1/Rog 2/Clr 3/Wiz 24/Arm 5 (that's Archmage, a prestiege class) AND one of the Chosen of the goddess of Magic, things tend to look bad for you. especially with his +5 Thundering Longsword.

I was running a cleric on the multi side, but played several alone.

BTW, I just realized, it's the 25th now.....It's my birthday.

did you guys abandon me?

happy B-Day,

I've only played a character a couple of times, Mosty I DM. I haven't even looked at 3rd ed rules yet. Still stuck in the 2nd ed.

A gaming mazagine a couple of years back had a great article on the rise and fall of TSR in the late 80's to mid 90's. Talk about complete cluelessness and management incompetence. That was about the time I started playing Magic heavily. Now that is waay too complicated so back to D&D I go.

Thanks for the birthday wish.

I can't imagine a more complicated game. Our campaign was pretty complicated. Tell me more about magic.

I first got involved with D&D over 25 years ago it didn't last long for me since most of the folks I was around decided they didn't like it and I was too shy to try and get involved with another group. (That and my mother found out and had a shit fit 'it's the devil's work and I'll not have you involved with it' were her exact words).

After MarkB and I got together he started reteaching me what I had forgotten and teaching my son. He has been putting together small campaigns for us to play around with and try different characters. So far my fav characters to play include my Paladin, Chamila Silverstone who is 6th level right now; Laura Hanover a 10th level Skyrider Paladin; Sall who is a 3rd level Ranger; my most fav character to date is Sara, a 3rd level Shapeshifter Druid. She is also the first half-elf character I have played with. Up to this point most of mine have been human or elf although I have tossed in a dwarf here or there just to see if I like playing them.

Now comes the fun part...I have to dream up a campaign and run it for my family.

 

[markb325]

Leave it to me to see D&D and read the entire thread. I have been playing for 22 years off and on. My Favorite Character was a Paladin that actually got to the point of being to powerful. He still appears as a NPC now and then but hasn't been played as a character in about 10 years.

Like a couple of others I still have my head stuck in 2nd edition. The reason for this is I have yet to see Wizards of the Coast release the Core Rules software for 3rd Ed. When that happens I might change to 3rd.

I have played and ran campaigns in Grayhawk and My own world. I have played campaigns in Dragon Lance, and Ravenloft.

Now who remembers the old Giant Series Modules. Sheesh I lost 4 Characters to that campain before finally making it through it. grrrrrrrr

PC Races: Non-traditional

For the homespun world I'm setting up for a new group of players, I'm attempting something that I hope will work out with little difficulty to game balance. I'm incorporating a few animal spirit folk, Henge Yoki type characters from the original Orientel Adventures/Kara Tur settings. If anyone here is familiar with the Redwall book series you might see where I'm going with this as I want a party composed of animals-minor monsters posing as humanoids.
I'm hoping to keep lycanthopy issues out of the game in general as these creatures posses 'natural' abilities to assume man-sized guise or have aquired magical means to do such. I think the engineered 'handicap' of having to return to animal form for a yet unspecified period of time each day has a nice feel about it, something to keep the players from exploiting the situation of shape-changing as it will not be something easily manipulated.
I'd prefer to run a campaign set and scaled truely to the small animal size in general but don't relish all the conversions for weapon s, equiptment, damage, encumburance and everything else that applies to the game......

PCGen

I am a project manager and one of the main coders for PCGen, http://pcgen.sourceforge.net, a character and party generator and manager for D20 games, like D&D 3e. We're right about to make a production (non-beta) release in few days. And... the software is free (all open-source).

Please, try us out!

 

[Arc da Rat]

I am very new to actually play pencil/paper rpgs. I have finally started to play a game with a few co-workers & friends. Right now I have a multi-class Half Elf Rogue 3 / Druid 5. Been playing for about 2 months with 3rd Ed. (The DM had the characters start off at level 7)

My fave character to date is still the one I play off & on on the online game Everquest. Adraste Pharyen is a half elf Bard at level 36 (level 60 is the highest you can go).

 

[JazzManJim]

Black Bird, have you looked at the Call of Chilthu by WoTC? I think it has basically the same gaming system and I've heard more than a few people say it's better than Ravenloft.

Oh yeah!!

Call of Cthulu done on the D20 system is a smooth system and is, hands-down, the scariest game I've ever seen, run even half competently.

Then again, it's all based on Lovecraft, so you know what you get.

And if you like your scary shit interspersed with governmental conspiracies, there's a supplement for the original CoC called Delta Green put out by Pagan Publishing. It's a superios piece of work, suitable for a government conspiracy in nearly any modern-day game you want to run.


binkley! Dude!! You're one of the honchos behind PCGen!! You rule!!! I've been using that progam for a while now, since before its java days at least and am still on the mailing list. Man, you guys are doing superior work!

markb, I can trump you. Remember "Expedition to the Barrier Peaks"? I played a kender who got hold of two blaster pistols in that game. There was chaos.

I am SUCH a gaming geek.
