Hello everyone. My name is GM Dormin. I am looking for some new players to take part in a little fun game that I am building that involves each player to actually make 2 characters. One character will interact in a "reality" like ours. They will go to school, participate in sports and extra after school activities. The setting would be high school, just for the laughs. HOWEVER what you are in this world will determine what you are in the "dream reality" where the fantasy characters will be.
How this will work is you can be ANY of the fallowing:
we will begin at level 1 and experience will be story based.
Science nerd
Environmentalist (basically a hippy)
Sportsman/woman (depending on position and sport you will actually be given a different class.)
Musician of any musical device of your choice
Martial artist (of any kind, depending on which martial art you take it will change your class.)
Artist
Carpenter
Punk (basically a trouble maker)
(if you think of something that DOESN'T fall into any of these, just ask and I will most likely say "seuuureeee")
As your character progresses through the "Dream" so will your character progress in "Reality" After a while you will find that you are quickly progressing over your peers over the specific things you do.
I will (depending on what you are in reality) GIVE you, your class, abilities, race is up to you to decide.
Warning: This kind of game is one you need to keep kinda...open minded. If you are the type of person who likes having EVERYTHING BY THE RULES, turn and run back to some other wimpy GM that will fallow every little rule. I bend the rules ever so slightly to make sense to me. If you want to know some of the house rules, here they are.
House rules:
I don't like the "Take 10" or "Take 20" system. I don't put my players into situations that "Oh if I don't make a 5 I die". Unless you are given a class that specifically says they are allowed to do this, you are not allowed to "Take" anything. You gotta earn your dice rolls. It takes the same amount of time to roll the dern things as it takes to say "no I don't wanna roll so I will take 10". If I have to roll everything for you, you have to roll everything for me. Simple as that.
IF YOU ROLL A NAT ONE! DO NOT ROLL TO SEE IF YOU FUMBLE! this makes life easy on the player. I don't like watching players fall into there own swords and kill themselves thank you.
I will be bringing in a SUB-GM to assist me in the event that I cannot continue the story for some degree of time.
That about it.
If I do not see anyone wanting to do this I won't feel bad. I am currently GM-ing 3 other crazy Homebrews right now.
I am interested in playing a Martial Artist. Do you want to know a style or would a combination of styles work? I am a martial artist so this could be fun, kind of playing myself. (background for myself, green belt judo, blue 1 bjj, getting ready to get 2nd degree in tkd, some muay thai in the past)
Hehe, I'd be down for Science Nerd or Sportsman. I know the stereo type puts them at opposite ends of the spectrum, but I think it would be fun to be them. Im in the same boat as Paxs, I think it would be fun to play myself as a character (I went to state level competitions in Track and Mathematics thus the Nerd or Sportsman)
Paxs I know exactly what your going to get sir.
Grixus I forsee a multiclass in your future
sounds good :)
Cheerleader by day, computer geek by night.
For some reason the Carpenter is calling my name.
You know. I think I will just take the 4 of you. Its not going to be a hard game necessarily but anyway. 4 is usually the magic number. If things get too hectic I can always throw myself in. So congrats guys. Can you all go dot the campaign for me please. I will have your champions ready in a moment. Go ahead and build level 1 "reality" characters to BEST FIT your chosen job. You have full control of your reality.
well missed the boat on this one. whatever :(
...eeeeh alright you can BUT THATS IT.
socially awkward hippy.
So, how exactly would you like the format of the character build? I assume the 'dream reality' character will be loosely based on a pathfinder/D&D-esk character?
I still don't know how you want our characters formatted.
your "dream reality" is made by me. Based off what you told me you WANTED to be. Both characters will basically be a pathfinder DnD player.
your "reality" character is to be built HOWEVER you want, based on what you want. As for your "Dream" character. What I give you (when I make it) will be what you play for that half of the game.
I think I will step out. I have a lot on my plate right now.
I'd take that last spot if you still are looking for another. Sounds intriguing and not like anyting I've done before. I'd take the bad boy punk type if it works with what's left. (Cuz that was so NOT me when I was in HS).
You will be using pathfinder characters to simulate the real life characters as well as simulate the dream.
Clothyard you may join seeing there is the one opening. I will have your "dream" characters ready by Monday.
