Re-recruiting for uber/archer's game
« on: August 31, 2008, 03:53:07 AM »
I finally got around to it.  I'm going to be running a game.

Here's how it all goes down.
The prime material is breaking. Floods, earthquakes, volcanoes, tornadoes, and hurricanes are appearing from temporal rifts and destroying civilization. The four elemental high lords must be stopped from their advances on the prime. An elite team of great power has been called together to stop it. The sages say the prime material has seven days left. The four elemental high lords must be defeated and bound together into a powerful spell to close the rift.

Metagame:
Expect to level once per day. 3-6 Very Hard encounters each day. Expect to hit epic levels by the time the four are bound. From there it is discovered that The Nine Lords of Hell are actually behind this. They must be defeated to prevent this from happening again. The expedition into Hell will take approximately two days per layer. Campaign range (if it keeps going all the way through Asmodius) is 14-30ish.

Starting level 14.  32 PB.  You'll be thrown almost immediately into rocket tag combat.  You all will have known eachother (weave your backgrounds together) before this.  Nothing is banned, but the golden rule shall be followed:
The golden rule) If you don't want it used against you then don't use it.

Optimization level is very high.  Tier 0 only restrained by what you don't want used against you.


If you were in the game in the first incarnation then simply post you are still interested.  Characters sheets and background may need to be tweaked.

I would prefer to DM 6 players.  If need be I will be running two groups.  If you weren't already in the game then it is by application.  I'm a little wasted right now, so I'm sure I didn't get everything.  Ask away.

Are you sure you want to do this :P? I mean, 3-6 encounters takes a lot of time and the bookkeeping (leveling the characters mainly) is high. In Tshern's campaign we talk about getting into a temple for three or four days now :p

Hello Sir, I would love to come with you on this grand adventure!
I will gather together a Character Sheet as soon as I can!

Now I am not the best at Caster types, so I'll go for a Tank unless someone else is Tanking.
Tenative Build would be Crusader/Deepwarden/Warblade
Would The Con to AC be caped?

Yes.  With save or dies and uberchargers running about I expect combat to never take longer than 3 rounds.

No, Con to AC would not be Capped.  However, this is a game to test the limits of the game (those ones you will not mind used against you) and thus casters are generally suggested.

Sounds good. There's a few concepts I've been wanting to try out for a while now. Dunno exactly what I ant to play yet. I've got an idea for a somewhat needlessly complicated gish that seems like it might be fun to play, but I need to ascertain exactly how viable it is before commiting on anything. Will there be much RPing involved, or is this pretty much a hack-and-slash type game? (from what I'm seeing, the latter seems more likely, but it can't hurt to double-check)
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

There will be RP, but I'm not near the writer Sinister or Sinfire.  I'll have plot, but my essays won't be near the skill of some of the better DMs around here.  Combat should be intense though.  Sort of the D&D version of the Justice League.

So I can finally play my character now?
It always seems like the barrels around here have something in them.

Basically.  I'll have to rego over the sheets and get some working backstory, but we should be starting very soon.  Sorry for the long delay.  First it was the family drama then it was me being busy getting ready and settling into college.  Now I have the time and internets for this.

I'm still in.  You've seen my sheet.
Anyway, this cake is great!  It's so delicious and moist.

Stalk me on Twitter!  Validate my existence!  Maybe Even Get An Optimization Tip!

Would you object to me playing some kind of build based off Song of the White Raven, uber?

Everything I learned about DnD I learned from Frank Trollman at The Gaming Den... but nowadays, my work space is the New DnD Wiki.

Check them both out!

Just a heads up:
I don't know if I'll be taking in new players.  Don't work on a build or anything yet if you weren't initially in it.  I'm primarily trying to see who I've got left of the first batch.  Once I see who I'm working with I'll see about additional people.  I had somewhere in the range of 14 people the first time.

So, no applications until I figure out who is staying.

Assuming I have slots open you are for sure on my top five people I want in.

Score! Now all I need to do is think up what the hell I should play.

Let's see:
CantripN can't post regularly enough for this game.
SDK is in
Tsuyo is in
LogicNinja is in if he posts here
Sinfire is in
Tshern is in if he posts he's still in
Dman is in if he posts he's in

That's three confirmed, three reserved slots.  That's just from the old crowd that still have info over at mythweavers.

People who I'm incredibly likely to be biased towards on any open slot:
Mister Sinister
Dictum Mortuum

Currently I have two slots open if no other players from the old game confirm continued interest.  I'll give them by saturday to notice this and confirm.  Otherwise they forfeit their slot.

I'm interested, we both know what happened to the original one.

Edit: Allowed to change my character still?
