There are no takers because all you've given is a loose theme of the campaign, and not much details at that. How would the game work? What restrictions are in place? What are the character-building guidelines? Is there an overall plot, or is this basically just a series of arena battles?

well I to be honest I am still working out the bugs for a plot or setting but over all it is mostly arena battles, vs. monsters, or other groups or one on one duels. as for How would the game work? What restrictions are in place? What are the character-building guidelines? that I am still working out the bugs on and was hopping to take ideas suggestions or ideas.

You just have to say that sort of stuff in the opening post. The original post is a fishing line, and it needs to have some bait on the hook or else you won't get any bites. :)

Idea sounds interesting, but depending on restrictions and/or house rules, such a game might easily turn into Rocket Tag with Tactical Nukes.

I'm interested in principle, but would like to know more details.

I'm interested as well.  Are you thinking a spellcasting free or spellcasting light Gladiator Arena, based on the original comments of a Spartacus that is what I'm picturing right now.

ok I have been hesitant to DM to campains at the same time but with only a Gladiator Campaign based of Spartacus  ideas should be light DMing (I hope)

I'm working on a character, but I'm unsure if you are also banning psions or wilders?

I felt like psions/wilders should be removed as well if you were taking out all the other nines(sublime chord and ur-priest as well I would assume), but I wanted to make sure before I built a melee-ish character for a game with full powered psions.

What he said. I would be interested in something like this, it'd be a nice addition to what I'm currently doing in DnD (trying to keep the plot from falling apart due to players apathetic to the plot  :shakefist and being the Healgun in the other campaign thats running). Please expand some on this idea and I'll see if I can join

Hmm, I'm thinking this would be a good game for a Totemist...

guys just as a side note the first match you will be given weapons just before your first fight (you guys are slaves and drow are not stupid ) and after that you will get to customize your own kit.

When do you want us to have characters in to you, and are there any limits on class selection other then you specified? Also what about level adjustment races?

well as for when the character gets in to me right now i am in no rush with exams comeing up.

as for  level adjustment races I think allowing 0 and +1 races / templates should work out any higher and there could be problems

classes well I think that adding the chord and ur-priest as well as psions / wilders I think in  a gladiator type of campain that casters like that does not fit in the campain

I just got done with my 2nd half of the semester exams, so I should be relatively clear until the beginning of May with Finals and all that.

Alright that sounds good, i was planning on being a fighter type character anyway, are ToB characters fine by you?
