LOL. I go away for the weekend and this is what happens.
Well I'm glad you're all interested. I'll be hashing out rules with SDK tonight (hopefully).
PhaedrusXY: My initial thought was to have characters be 20th level. I want to use the normal Tarrasque (with
real feats) as a test to see how a group does, and up the modified Tarrasques from there. I'm not opposed to a lower level, though. Any ideas on this?
Also, SDK mentioned testing some homebrew classes for this, so I'm not throwing that out the window yet. There will be some attempt at balancing cash/XP, so I doubt we'll be using the Wish economy.
Midnight_V: What is this 'black octopus"? I haven't seen it before.
Vinom: No lie, a Tarrasque that acted like a RoW is hilarious. My boss just gave me a weird look for laughing in the office.
Nanshork: I'm honestly leaning heavily towards 4 people per group, simply because of the action economy. Granted Big T will be tough, but 6 actions to my 1 will lean heavily in the PCs favor early on, and it is supposed to be a challenge. I'm open to counterarguments, though. If I go with 4 per group, I'd like 2 groups (minimum). If we end up with 12 players, I think SDK & I can run 3 groups. Past that, I'll talk to SDK and see how many we can handle/how many Tarrasques we can come up with.
Prime32: No, it'd be like McDonalds vs BK or Ash vs Gary. You could think of it like two competing franchises trying to make it big in the multiverse.
Starting level is tentatively 20 (that's my initial idea, but I have to hash out specifics)
TheChrisWaits: I'll send you a PM. More help and creative ideas are always good.
On Cheese level: I'm aiming for a moderate amount of cheese. Free wishes are probably out, as is daze-immunity Celerity shenanigans. For something like Shadowcraft, you'd probably actually have to be on the ground, not just have dirt in your shoes.
But again. I'll get specifics down ASAP.
