So, I am enjoying the Eberron- based pbem that I am taking part in but it just reinforces my desire to try running my own Eberron- based game. This is just a call to see if anyone would be interested in playing.
The Premise: Mysterious flares of magical energy are occurring across the Five Nations, causing strange mutations in those affected, either releasing latent magical ability (sorcerers) or other... stranger changes (superhuman characters, dubbed Freaks, based on a modified version of Heroes Wear Masks game).
The Story: You can choose either to be an established adventurer (5th level start) in any of the corebook/APG classes, or you can be a Freak (5th level restricted and modified classes from HWM). If an adventurer you sign on with the Rose Companions, a powerful group of heroes based out of Sharn but that fights evil throughout the world. If a Freak, you are newly 'erupted', the product of a magical flare in a city in Breland and are entrusted to the Rose Companions by King Boranel of Breland to help you adjust to and learn to control your new abilities.
The Mystery: What is causing these flares of magical energy, why do they seem strangely familiar to those versed in the arcane, and what connection do they have to the leader of the Companions, the mysterious Brelish Rose?
Anyone interested please let me know and if there is a strong enough response I will give it a shot, but fair warning- this would be my first PBP game and the 1st game I've GM'd in a while altogether. If any experienced GMs would be interested in helping out with the game that would be welcomed as well. Thanks.
