Please delete my account. Thank you.

Reading further I can see that customization in D&DNext is reduced since all feats (also maneuvers in the case of fighting classes), skills and other customizable options come in blocks (professions, backgrounds, classes and such)

Well since a few people has showed interest for this game these few people has literally disappeared then I am officially canceling the game, thanks anyway to all people that posted in here. Peace.

Ok I think this is a sort of last call to this game: all those who want to play have to post a character sheet finished, you have 3 days to do so, otherwise I will cancel this game since most of the interested people has not written since several days.

Two more days to go.

I can play a fighter if you are still accepting or really anything you need me to except cleric. *shutters* *looks fondly at double bladed scimitar* Also are we using pf classes or 3.5 since you said 3.5 rules. Basically are we playing pf or 3.5?

I can say you the same than previous post, only adding that the rules set is 3.5 D&D, that is you need the D&D 3.5 player's handbook or d20srd to play.

Hey do you have a rogue yet, if you don't can I take the spot as rogue?

Applications still accepted but my worries are most appliers dissappears for days, I need people compromised with the game so if you think you have the energies and the time to post at least once a day, then apply.

Welcome aboard Vedry, the problem with the rpol site is the interface sometimes difficult to handle with by newcomers, I would prefer running the game here so those who agree please let me know.

Dizzy you have been added to the players list, however the game over there is really really slow, I decided to run the game over there only because my campaign here had litlle interest. If tristan and you are willing to post at least once a day I can run the game here for the three of us and invite others in the run if possible.

look for my game master name over there patshir

The game is over here.

The name is 3.5 Medieval Fantasy World.

The other game is slow and only have one player too, however the first site to get ar least three I think is the one where I will run the campaign I think. The other site is specialized in this kind of games so I think the option could be there.

when will this game be starting? Is there any back round that might be relevant before creating a character? I would be interested in playing an elf ranger.

Finally Where are you located? The only reason I ask is because if your in CA or somewhere on the west coast your 4 hours time difference from me and that might affect my ability to post on a regular basis... I'm on eastern standard time in VA...

Nice to hear about you, as you can see a few people have posted on this game however I think I can run it with 3 of us, Tristan is one accepted player, you would be the second one. I don't think your time difference will affect the game since this is not a real time game, you can post when you can and we will follow the game as possible since probably all have different times.

Lol I did not find the option to send you a personal message but no problem I just wanted to tell you that I am starting this same campign in this site http://rpol.net/ under the name 3.5 medieval fantasy world and with the name of Patshir, go there and you will have your slot.

Tristan look for your personal messages.

Trying to invite this pal to the game I hope he comes.

Well I am too startin a new classic medieval fantasy campaign, I have one player but we need at least another one to play here you will find the original post. I am willing to post as much as 3 times per day to keep players interest so if you think you have what it takes, welcome aboard!

Tristan, be patient I am trying to find more players in another site, I will inform you.

I am looking for alternative PBP sites so if a find another one with more players I will make you know. For now let's wait, two more players besides us and we start.

Mediafire will be ok, just sign up and upload all what you want, it is free. I am a little worried, no one else besides you has showed interest.

Tristan the character is ok, now please download this custom inventory sheet, it is the one I use for my players and allow me having track of encumbrance in an easy way. After you have filled please upload it and give me the link and don't forget to update it periodically as the game advances.

Well you should post your character here (or a link to it) in order to review it. Just plain stats and gear, no need of background if you don't want add any. By the way you have the standard average of gold given to your class to buy your equipment.

Aetholus go ahead with your Half-Elf cleric, Tristan accepted too so start fleshing your Human Fighter, still 3 slots available, next people to apply please try other races other than half-elf, elf or human however allowed if you wish.

Yes, only the core races allowed and everyone starts at level one, I want above average characters so we start with 32 points to buy, use this system.
Moreover all characters start with a minor magic item that must be approved by the DM.

Hello:

I am thinking in starting a PBP experience so I am setting an adventure in which I can start a new campaign depending on players response.
This will be a generic 1st level adventure, set in a classic medieval-fantastic world.
If the adventure finishes well and all the players show enough interest I will continue developing a campaing as far as you want to play.
I will use plain 3.5 edition D&D rules, I am not so familiar with PF yet so since I mostly know the classic 3.5 set of rules I will use them.
I will use only the 3 core books so no other classes, feat or spells from another sources will be allowed.
Create your character and post ir here, I know what a pain in the ass is to create a character and be rejected soI won't reject your character unless it show serious flaws or repeat a class that already is in use.
Firts 5 players submitting will be accepted.
There are 6 slots one is for my character, an Elf Wizard.
I want to keep it classic and simple so I need:

2 fighters
1 cleric
1 rogue
1 ranger

You can choose any race but I would appreciate variety and don't just stick with humans.

IMPORTANT:

Once the adventure starts you must be willing to post at least 3 times a day if you think you won't have the time to do so, please don't apply, this game is not for you. I want this game be fast and don't stuck because one or two players have dissapear for days.

Thanks for reading and I wait for your applications.

I will copy a whole game and I will sell it and no copyright law from the US can reach me. Ha ha ha, I live outside the US and I will donwload all the pirate torrents I want and I will break all the EULAS I want and no one will jail me ever. Go out of your country and go to the pirate paradise ha ha ha. And after doing all of that I will go to live to Panama so US is not going to extradite me.Lol.

Being serious: Law says clearly: "rules are not copyrightable", so don't care so much about consequences since I can cite (even though I dont have the time or the mood to do so) at least 20 derivative works from the d20 system and still they sell and continue without any problem only have the precaution of changing relevant words for synomimous.

Detecting if someone has been infected with a disease is that kind of rules that you won't find easily so in my appreciation the DC in a Healing check should be disease's DC + infecter HDs and the DC must be beaten for at least 10 to determine correctly if someone is infected. Less than that would bring to the character to determine incorrectly if someone is infected or just a lower result simply is not enough to determine such a complicated thing. However everytime that 1/10 of the incubation period has passed the DC should be reduced -1 till the incubation time has finished and the disease shows all its symptoms. I recognize that using the disease's DC as a base could not be realistic in all the cases since powerful diseases not always have notorious symptoms and viceverse. But it is the only referent we have, taking or creating other numbers would comnplicate things and would bring us to create a whole set of rules to this kind of tasks.

- Make them get older one year every hour and later ten hours get younger backwards every hour.

- Every time they use soap they itch. To the point they don't want wash themselves anymore. -2 to all wisdom and constitution based checks after they use soap. After one week without a shower -2 to diplomacy and gather information checks.

Or make Shrink Person permanent. Hi, hi, hi

Thanks for all the input, as far as I can see I have some work ahead to prepare a campaign of this fashion, every opinion was valuable thank you.

Hello people:

Somethig I have to recognize is that AD&D had rules for everything you can imagine and one of the things I haven't seen in a 3.5 book is rules about mining, I mean how to go to a place, build a mine and extract minerals as a way to get income. I really don't remember to have seen in any of my d20 books or magazines rules for mining. Perhaps someone can hint me where to get them, it would be interesting to run a campaign around a mine (colonize, build, defend, create rutes and caravanes), all of these sounds interesting to me for a new campaign. Thanks for the help I could receive.

I created a simple Mining business with the rules from DMG2. Might not be what you're looking for.

Mine
Primary Skill: Profession (Miner)
Secondary Skills: Knowledge (Architecture/Engineering), Appraise
Capital: High
Resources: Medium
Risk: High

That skill would resolve how I would earn mining in a week of work with a single roll but I would like to develope the life of my party around the mining, so I would need more specific rules for this. Thanks anyway.

Forgotten Realms is like your first girlfriend. You remember her fondly and she'll always have a special place in your heart. Even 10 years later, when you're both married to seperate people and see each other only at class reunions.

4gotten Realms is like the home coming queen 20 years later. You still recognize her, but she's had the liposuction, the plastic surgery, and trying to fit in her old cheerleading outfit to attract the younger crowd. She's the mom who's creepy friendly with her son's Highschool classmates.

Golarion is the girl you meet in college. She reminds you of your first girlfriend, but there's an undercurrent of maturity neither of you had back then. You look her up with an appraising eye, and spend some time with her. After a while you discover there's space in your life she fills, and she finds you complete her. She's a campaign setting you can hope to grow old with, settle down and raise a few kids in.

Hmm, I guess that makes Greyhawk the girl you're only friends with, and Ravenloft the girl that stalks you after you dump her.

And what about those guys that married the first one, mmmmh, I married my second one and don't remember so much the first one. I know a guy who left his wife to go with the first one and she was married to, at the end it did not last, so he came back with the second one, his wife.

Here it is:

Calderis's Background:

Calderis was working as a joker and entertainer for noble houses and rich people from Menske, his prestidigitation tricks were always new and original, no other like him to make laugh people and keep a good show. People said him often “why don’t you learn the bards path” “you chose a wrong career”. However, Calderis always kept in silence about those commentaries and with a smile responded “this is temporary this is the way to achieve greater objectives”. At night Calderis goes to his little house’s basement and starts reading all he has got about magic and experiments new ways of magic.
He was married some years ago but his wife left him taken his little girl with her, she was ashamed of her husband profession so she decided not to stay with him anymore. She thinks her husband is a “hired clown”. Well, Calderis was a prosperous merchant who sold his merchandises to Ensor and Fem before she married him, but times were not so good forever and he went to bankruptcy, so he took something till that day was a hobby to make it his profession from then on.
Some days ago he feels the time has arrived to go through the world looking for adventures in order to recover the status he lost. His magic is powerful now and he thinks the time has arrived to get the glory and riches he need to recover the love of his wife.
Some people thinks he should marry another woman but Calderis loves Tamara his only and true love…according to him.

Hey, that's a great map. Better than anything I could do handrawn. v.v

It is exactly what I was thinking.

I remember have seen something like that as fold up PDFs on RPGnow.com.
If not go to ebay.com over there are sold hundreds minis a day.

Well this could sound odd but I would like to have the map in front of me to do my background since it is easier to me make an "itinerary" of my life.

This world is interesting enough to you to take paper and pen and start writing it down. It has the potential to be a published work. Some other details could improve it but the concept of a society that uses elementals as workforce and energy is a cool one. However since this is a whole world it will take a lot of time to take all the pieces together to get a full campaign setting. Well, start working, you have a long work before you (many, many hours in front of the PC).

By the way, I should have a map ready soon

I was using it but I did not like it, I prefer using posts for my character's sheet.

You can, of course, do as you wish Patricio. The only problem I might foresee happening is that, with long threads, your character sheet might get lost in the shuffle and become difficult to find. Also, once the post is more than 30 min old you can't edit it again. Of course, I suppose you could just keep on posting your char sheet every few posts or so ;) Either way it's all good to me, just trying to help out :)

Another option would be to copy and paste on a word document and save it, unless you are using a game console to navigate, in that case no problem I can post again my sheet every time I can see it is needed.

It looks like a very interesting world to adventure.

This is a first glance at my character but it still lack many details, I am drowsy so I will leave it for tomorrow.

A plant always will be slower than an animal I suggest speed 20 but +2 against bull rush and pin attacks.

Yes, I confirm I want a wizard, I will work on my sheet this afternoon and post it on evening.

Or, it could be XRP's death sentence, as Habro/WoTC will likely take action to prevent direct competion with the Player's Handbook II.

If they do like that it would be a mean thing since WotC obviously erased that part from the game intentionally for I don't know what purpose. But as we see, money talks again and WotC knows that there they have money and probably prevent XRP to do so or maybe not since doing like that would be accepting they made a mistake and now want to repair it and moreover they would be copying an original idea from a third part publisher who said since day one that they would fill all the gaps on the 4th edition PHB.

If wizard is not available I could try a monk

Wizard please.

AD&D Forgotten Realms.

No other setting in the RPG history has been so deeply described as this one was.

This is actually a hindrance, not a boon.

W. E. Ray

Yes I agree with you that so much material sometimes become an overload to read and dominate. As a player I prefer to go everywhere and explore diferent realms and cultures, this is only possible when you have a whole detailed continent linked from realm to realm. What if your players already know all the place and there is nothing elese to explore, then a DM has to create or add another setting to the whole world to the players to explore. But again that varies from player to player. It is true that a small setting is easier to run but free spirit players could feel trapped in the same place.
