Definitely Interested.
Haven't played in a PBP in a few years and would love to get back into it with a 5E Eberron game.

So, I have a 4e mage Kai whose campaign fizzled out. He was a religious and high knowledge-skilled evocation wizard that had a habit of slipping into lecturer/teacher mode. It was interesting ad libbing his religious book knowledge, and it would be fun to revisit him.

I'd have to rework him for 5e, and change his race... but his concept was fun.

Do you still need a wizard?
Should I go about making some changes to him? I'd probably still stick with the fire themed wizard with an acolyte background.

Dotting for interest.
I like the 5e game and I like the sound of the feel you've got going Terquem.

Keep going, I'd love to see the game get off the ground.

I have been wanting to try out a high-elf wizard for some time.
Racially, I'm open to most anything that fits in the party, but a high-elf, human, or tiefling would be my ideal picks (in that order).

I envision the classic well-read wizard (sage background), but I see we have several religious party members, so a devoted wizard (acolyte background) would be a really interesting combination and still fit with the bookworm magic-user...
I'm also open if the party needs a different background (a folk hero wizard also has a fun hook as would a noble wizard). Basically, whatever it takes to get my character plugged into the group, I will find an interesting concept to fit.

It was a wild weekend. My kids did great. We didn't have the highest record, but the contest really is about what you learn and how you play.

In the end, we finished in the top 30 out of 277 teams... and we were picked to head to the World Championships next weekend: 400 teams, 60 countries... LOTS of robots :)
It's going to be a riot (and I'll be in and out of communication a bit next week, lol)

Hey Rev!
Nice to see you again :)

By the way, it's worth mentioning that we're all level 3 now (a few hundred shy of level 4)... so Irivis may still need to be bumped up, assuming Aub wants to keep the whole party the same level.

Well, that's a shame.
A good 4E game is so hard to find.

(I'll keep checking back in... maybe Grim is just buried at work and still intends to game with us!)

hmmm... I hope Grim is doing okay. I checked, and it doesn't look like he's posted on the boards for while.

PS.
I love resculpted or releveled creatures. Having read far too many creature blocks, it keeps me guessing which is fun from the player standpoint!!
Plus, you can make some really great monster encounters --- like fighting a displacer beast at first level! (nicely done)

That makes sense.
To the character it would appear as a teleport, but in reality it just was never there. Game mechanic-wise, it's not a SHIFT or a TELEPORT, the creature has a built in miss chance and if you do happen to miss, it was because the true creature was adjacent to your target square... the displacer beast has always had a strange mechanic in every edition of DnD. It's a cool creature, but tough to play through (particularly if you use battle mats!)

I was with Rev... actually I was about to use my Endurance to continue to keep pace with Edie's strange cant. Figured it's my most athletically-styled skill I could bring to the table... Now, when we get to the book reading skill challenge, Kai is going to clean up!

--

PS. I wasn't trying to end the encounter, lol. It just sounded like in Grim's earlier post that since the noise and rumbles were gone, the creature might be too... was just checking, not complaining :)

I like it!
Skill Challenges are always something that my tabletop group struggles with... I love the idea of trying to use the skills in more interesting ways.

Lol sorry about that. I was in the middle of posting when the DM must've beat me to it. I didn't intend to cancel the skill challenge. Feel free to ignore Kai's quip and skill away! I'll follow suit with the group.

Zerombr mentioned having the DM roll everyone's initiative. I'd be okay with that. I'm also okay with using the take ten rule on initiatives... 'course, with our group that would mean we would be going last all the time, lol.

Railgun: I love the use of the yuan-ti as the Deadly Viper Assassination Gang! I second the "awesome". It does speak to something strange in so many of us that we know both the Sound of Music and Kill Bill so well. Talk about genre extremes!

Think Maria from the Sound of Music meets the Bride from Kill Bill.

That might be the scariest mash-up I've ever heard of, lol.

If I'm reading others correctly, it sounds like the Controller spot will be open. I'll look at making a wizard or psion of some sort (I'm a fan of both classes, so it'll be a good fit either way).

Either concept should work really well for Erarat - a bookish sort, willing to travel with others to the surface. I like the idea of him trying to preserve knowledge before The Last Age comes to a destructive end. He'll definitely be the type to preserve the artifacts over his own skin, but I also see a slight selfish bent to his adventures (if he's the first one to the surface, he gets first crack at whatever arcane/psionic treasures may be down there!).

Grim, so are you capping it at 3 players then?

I'm willing to round out a slot: Defender, Leader, Striker, Controller, as needed :) -- plus, I can generally post multiple times a day :D

I'm definitely up for a 4E game, if you're still taking players!

I'm good with most settings and can post pretty regularly

(I know Eberron a bit better than some of the other settings out there, but am willing to read up on whatever the plan is).

Posting for Jareen
Figure it's a toss up between using Magic Missile for the sure kill on one target or using his at-will AoE spell - he's got a nice shot at two targets if he uses his area spell, so...

Based on past experience, Jareen most likely doesn't bother to hide his casting... lol :)

Standard Action: cast Winged Horde on square T9. Area burst 1 within 10. Target: Each enemy in the burst. Attack: +8 vs. Will. Hit: 1d6 psychic damage, and the target cannot take opportunity actions until the end of your next turn.
Attack vs KH11: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (13) + 8 = 21 vs WILL,
Attack vs KH4: 1d20 + 8 ⇒ (16) + 8 = 24 vs WILL,
Damage: 1d6 ⇒ 5
I figure he can stay where he's at - he's out of danger for the most part and if more kruthiks show up he's protecting flanks

Hi all.

I got to play in a 4e Dark Sun game a while back, but it died out after a month or so... I've been sitting on my Thri-Kreen Barabarian hoping to get to play him again.

Anyways. I'd love to join a 4e game and DS is a very interesting campaign setting.

If you have need of another striker I'd play Th'Kal (none of this is set in stone if it doesn't fit with the current campaign):

If you need any other role in the party, I'm also more than willing to jump in and play anything else (I've played most types in other games at one point or another and can generate a character fairly quickly).

Ps. I can generally post frequently.

Let me know what you think.

I'd love to play... I'll jump over to the discussion thread and post

Hey all.

I have to leave this weekend for work, but I'm really interested in playing in this game. I'm open to any roll. I've got several characters floating around in my head and would love to play any of them. So, whatever roll the group needs, I'm good with it.

Sounds good!

I'd love to get into a DnD 4E game.
Right now I'm already DMing two, so I'd like to hold off volunteering to DM another, but I'm all for playing in any level game. Would be fun!

(There aren't many 4E players here, but they do exist -- personally, I like Paizo's website better than WotC's... this one seems designed for PbP games, unlike Wizard's)

Is this going to be a particular rules set, like Pathfinder?

I'd love to join, but I haven't converted over to PF... I played a ton of 3.0/.5 back in its prime - and I know the rules are close.

I'm interested, but don't want to be a the only guy in the group that doesn't know the rules and doesn't have access to them currently.

Did this game die?
I was following the recruitment a bit, and would love to get in on a DnD Next game. If you've lost your party's wizard, I'd gladly grab that role.

Just curious.

Thanks for starting up the new game!

I'm in, I just need to rework Jin a bit...

<--- Total First Timer:

I followed the werewolf game you guys just finished and it looked like a lot of fun.
I'm interested in joining in! -- I'll try to come up with a character concept tomorrow and post it here.

Sorry to hear about your week. Hopefully a little pbp can cheer you up. Thanks for putting this together. I'm still super excited to be a part of the team. I'll get started reading through your campaign tab.

Count me in!

(on a quick glance... I'm I bigger fan of the VF fighter rather than the VA bomber -- So, I'll probably be picking the Excalibur)

I'm a big fan of the mech setting.
I'm reading through the quick start rules you linked. Seems like an interesting concept.

I'd be in, if you started up a game!

Rev. Sorry to butt in, but if there are any alternate spots, I'd love to be included in one! I'm good with any role and any race that fits the group...

(the current Hadarai from Fabes' Sleeper)

umm... is there any leeway in changing/altering Hadarai?

I don't want this to come out wrong or have me sounding like some know-it-all power gamer (and truly no offense to the original character-creator) but I think Hadarai's stats are pretty far off for a paladin. A paladin's primary score should be Str/Cha followed by Wis. Hadarai has a 13 in two of those (nearly his worst stats) and has only a 16 in his primary. Most 9th level characters will have a 20 in their primary, and some will have a 22, and Secondary scores should be in the 15-19 range (much like the rest of the characters in the party).

Little things like choice of gear and powers/feats I get, different people choose different things. I'd have him in plate, with powers that grant an extra marking effect to better hold defense, and I probably would swap a feat or two. But to me those are choices, and mine might be no better than someone else's... But when I was looking over and entering Hadarai's stats into my DDI CB, I really noticed his ability scores being pretty far from the norm. IMO, they're the wrong allocation of points for an effective paladin.

Str16 Con14 Dex16 Int12 Wis13 Cha13
Long story short, is there any leeway to reset his stats?
If it's a no, I understand, but will there be an opportunity to recon him later? Change a power, a feat, an ability score? Will changing things on him even be allowed?

How about you get him in asap? With me playing him, Hadarai may not survive.

lol, I'll start reading the current fight either way, and enter Hadarai as one of my aliases. Then whatever Fabes decides I can be ready.

Oooh.
I do like the paladin class AND the eladrin. I just started reading through some of the posts in that game thread. I wouldn't mind picking up the running of Hadarai... it might take me a bit to get caught up in the thread and definitely a bit to get the hang of the character. But I'd love to game with you-all.

I run a lot of 4e pbp games and will keep you in mind if any slots come up. Celestial plays in a couple :)

Player do drop out from time to time.

Excellent. I saw you had one drop out recently, Rev, I just missed the openning lol. I saw the thread, got excited, and then noticed someone scooped it right away. Ah well. Next one ;)

I have an opening in a game if you don't mind taking over a character.

Fabes, generally I'm more of a fan of making my own character, but I guess it really depends on the character I'm taking over. I've played stand-ins before, and it's gone well and then had other experiences that weren't so positive which is the only reason I'm gun-shy... I'm definitely interested in hearing more, though! Is there a link to the game I can read, or the character I'd be taking over?

I'm new to Play-by-Post, but I'm addicted to my current 4E PbP game, and I'm looking to add another. I've been searching the last few weeks, but it seems everyone is running Pathfinder games. While I like that system, I'd really like to stick with 4E.

So, if anyone has a slot open or is thinking of starting a new game -- please count me in. I can post pretty frequently and willing to fill any role in a group.

I'd be interested in trying it out. I've played a lot of original AD&D (before 2e), so it would be fun to go back and fulfill some of that nostalgia. I've only done one other PbP (a current 4e game that I really love).

I've never played with the SaW rules, but have downloaded them and read through them... and I've never seen the module/series mentioned.

Xabulba,

What's your feelings on minions? Do you tell us ahead of time which ones are minions or is it a hit and find out? (I've had DM's go both ways)

I've almost finished my barbarian... he should be up in a few.

I was trying to decide between a Rogue and a Barbarian, and I'm still picking between two themes (both of which have good story elements and fun opportunities). I'll make a choice and stat him up this weekend.

I'm going to push back the start of the game (again) until DDI gets updated.

Sounds good!

I'd like to play a bard, if that's OK with the rest of you (and the DM, of course!).

In my old table-top group, we had a 4e Bard -- they are very cool (lots of Multiclassing options, to give you a ton of options in combat). Some nice mixtures of abilities. I'd love to have one in the group, if the DM is for it.

I could wait or forge ahead... whatever the majority calls for.
I haven't really settled on a character yet -- was kinda hoping to see what others were playing and then fill in the void.

I noticed we have:
- Shaman
- Swordmage
- (warlock on the alt list)

I'm not sure if the open call is still open, but I'd love to be added to the list. I've been playing 43 for a while and know Dark Sun a bit.

I've never played a PbP (and this is my first post - yay!), but I've been lurking here at Paizo and reading the PbP threads, and have a pretty good feel for the system.

Thanks
