Michael P Metully

We had 6 people show up (about what I expected). The DM (heppo12) played the game the way it's meant to be played in my book. Fast and loose. Emphasis on game and not on Game. The players like myself were all people I'd invite to my home again.

I'd like to give Steve Ransom a shoutout for getting the group rolling, and Michael for being a great DM. This unit is signing off.

Hey everyone. I've been on the lookout for a 3.5 game that's somewhat close to Seattle proper. Curious if there's room left for one more? :-)

Reading through thread - I hope I got everything

a) let's start Sunday 11:00 AM; first 2h are reserved for char creation/modification and Pizza;
b) don't worry about stats; if we do social roulette I'm sure everyone will be happy; if we do point buy everyone will be happy as well - in either case you can create a character and can be sure to have attributes that fit
c) 7 players is absolute limit, and requires everyone is quick with their decisions during action sequences; but we can do it
d) if you want special details on char shoot me a PM and I reply via e-mail; I'm used to bending rules as long as the outcome is within the groups power level (don't think superman, think junior X-man or Avenger-kids; everyone with their own strengths and weaknesses, and together and unstoppable force)
e) don't worry or waste time thinking about equipment; if there are things you think your character will need because the char is build around it, again - shoot me a PM

Sounds great michael. I would be interested in meeting somewhere on Sunday so we all can see how well the system you described works. Do you have extra character sheets? You mentioned once that you wouldn't mind having it at your house, if so what is the street address? If you want to meet somewhere else, what is the street address of where you want to meet?

Food and Drinks: I am thinking I'll get some papa murphy's pizza, or my fiancee's mother was talking about cooking some food. So. If everyone pitches in $5 and mentions any allergies they might have NOW (fiancee is allergic to everything so we can accommodate most allergies except maybe gluten allergy), I can make sure we are fed and watered.

32 is a bit excessive :)
let's start with 28 if you want to use point buy

for those not familiar with it:
all values start at 8

raising from a value of 8-13 costs 1 point
raising from a value of 14/15 costs 2 points
raising from a value of 16/17 costs 3 points
raising from a value of 18/19 costs 4 points

value - cost
08 0
09 1
10 2
11 3
12 4
13 5
14 6
15 8
16 10
17 13
18 16
19 20
20 24

What time on Sunday? How does 11:00 AM sound to you?

Ok. Now that we have a game plan, email would be more effective. Please respond to [masked] and we can get this started.

Race restrictions ... depend on the setting. That's why I asked what you want. Warforged have their home in Eberron, Goldelven roam the realms, Worgen live only in WoW,..... and chaotic good dark elves carrying 2 scimitars have been relocated to the abyss :P

If you want to play a race with "effective" levels as long as it's only +1/2 - we can all either start at lvl 2 or 3, or you don't have a class , or .... any other balancing solution we all can agree upon

I'm flexible :D

a) I'm Michael
b) I could start this week
c) what setting would you prefer? If it's about 3.5 - how does Eberron sound to you?
d) character creation ... now that is difficult ; the most fun ever I had with the following system: you describe your character to everyone, her strengths and weaknesses - and then everyone else assigns attributes of your character in secret to the DM, who has the last say

I'm not a fan of random dice rolls during character creation - so if you don't like option ^, then how about: sum of all attribute bonus +5; if you have take a -3 you get +6; 3 traits at even, 3 at odd numbers;

e) Warning: when playing with me CHA is NOT a dump stat
f) I don't mind classes from other books, but if I don't own the rule book where the class is defined bring a copy

did I miss anything?
happy playing
Michael

heppo12, also, could you be so kind as to post the rules for creating characters. It seems we have a lot of people that want to work outside the core books. Just thought that if you are dming now, it would be awesome to know if you have any preferences to character building. :)

I can dm, but not well until May. This week my work just dropped a new contract on me to keep me busy until then. I'm afraid that I'm not going to give the time needed to have a great story until then.

I could be convinced to play a tanky character if I could jazz it up a little. I was thinking a large-raced monk (Ogre? Centaur? Minotaur?), but I don't want to pour much more time into that track till I have a DM to bounce questions off of.

Otherwise I would be wanting to play a rogue. Maybe something cliche like a half-ling or a doppelganger.

Bleys Jackson

i suppose it would depend on who's dming, but are we using fractional bab and saves?

Often is every week or so. Where are you located, Michael? Also, wondering if anyone is up to the challenge to DM?
