Had a long talk, I think things have been worked out. Thank you all, thread closed.
Check out the D&D 3.5 book Heroes of Horror. While I'm not a fan of some of the mechanical stuff they include (e.g. the "taint" rules), it does have a whole lot of excellent advice on running a horror-focused fantasy game.Yeah, taint is a bit dodgy (and lo there were many taint jokes). No one likes their character to be disfigured for just entering the dungeon area. yes I had a DM attempt the taint rules and when he was describing it he mentioned the new spell we could add at 3rd level "Remove taint" we spent the next hour or so coming up with jokes and little mimes for that spell, situations, and puns. I'm not sure when it became too much for the DM I just remember looking up and he had left.
I thank you all for your help, I have devoted the day to rewriting my game idea, looking over everything presented here, and it is coming together very well, now the only thing I have to work on is class restrictions, time frame, and back story for races, I figure humans, elves, half elves, and half orcs, maybe add in halflings but for the races that are not human I want to give them some kind of stigma when it comes to dealing with the more prevalent race ie humans and halflings, such as orcs I have figured out, a full blooded orc will be almost baseline animal intelligence so breeding with one is looked upon by civilized society as just wrong, any suggestions for elves?
yes I love the NPC classes and would love doing a game with them but I know my group they were angry when I said no gunslinger lolThey got angry over that? Very mature people you game with there... lol they are mostly teens and new to the game, you know how it is you hear a new game is starting you decide to show up and try it first time ever, you have spent the last two weeks looking up classes and decide "hey this one looks cool" learn all about it then get there and find out 4 others have decided to play the same thing, you talk it over, decide to be a team and then the DM shows up with the class restrictions and that class is on the list. Its disappointing |
