4E PBP - Wrath of the River King


Gamer Connection

Sovereign Court

Because Rosey still hasn't started that 12-step program, I can't resist firing up another pbp with my shiny new toy, OpenDesign's Wrath of the River King.

This is a bit different from the 4E adventures we've seen so far, in that it makes heavy use of the Feywild -- with the Feywild being more like traditional Sidhe than, say, Tolkien's Lorien. I don't want to say too much more at this stage.

I've got three offers out and two accepted, so looking for two to three more players. Ideally 5 players total, 6 max.

4th-level 4E PCs, using PHB races only, but otherwise all WotC material is good. Standard point-buy and equipment, but we'll deal with that when we're done recruiting. Note, though, that preview classes such as Bard, Druid, and Invoker won't have 5th-level powers available until March. Doesn't mean you can't play them, but may have a gap.

So far, we have:

Rev Rosey: Rogue, variety TBD
Fabesminis: Probably beastmaster ranger

So two strikers to start things off.

Being able to post near-daily is strongly preferred, with your characters likely to do (relatively safe) things on their own if you miss a day during combat. Being around on holidays and weekends especially good, because I'm a sad, lonely, little man. (Well, not so little.) All I really ask is that if you're going to miss more than a day at a time, let me know if at all possible (with contingencies) so I can keep things moving without you.

Things will probably start off in a burst, then slow down a bit in mid-January when my semester starts, until I get in a rhythm.

My games shade toward combat, and I use all the tactical rules as PBP allows. This is not to say RP is unimportant, and you do get RP rewards. It's just a modest imbalance. Thinking is highly rewarded, too, especially when dealing with the fey.

Speak up!


Hmm, all PHB races... I never play dwarves, maybe now is the time. Or maybe tiefling, or halfling. So much choice...


Speaking up. Faffage ensues.

Do you need a cleric?


Oh, pick me, pick me!

A standard fighter, If there's room. Thank you.

Always. This is D&D, after all. Welcome aboard.

"Standard?" Sure.

One more opening, then we'll be at 5 or 6. No controllers yet, but they're not strictly necessary. Would recommend against third striker.

BTW, Merry Christmas to everyone, almost 12 midnight here in the Philippines. :D


Wish there was other Controller types to choose from. I'll take the Wizard spot.

There are at least two other controllers -- just won't have full powers until March!

I'll have no objection to switching things out as new books arrive, within limits.

Ok, full up.

Discussion thread coming soon.

Sorry, I realized afterwards that it was PHB races only. I was thinking PHB classes only. I'm still in with a Wizard.

Discussion thread is up and running.

Any room for another ? I was thinking about playing a bard.

Sure, come on over. You'll just have to live with the preview until March (per full issue, with correction).

Got any room for one more?

Will do.

Status update: Most of my major deadlines are through, but I have another trip coming up next week and a fair bit of prep work to do. The week following (w/o May 18) I'll have some forced time at home, and plan to re-start River King then.

Please sound off if you get this, and let me know your status for the game.

Thanks,
Pat


Still up for it!


I'd be happy to climb on the waiting list for this, if there be such a thing.


Still here !


Still here as well

Still here. Would have posted sooner but I was at my new office arranging things.


Dang, how did I miss this? Still in.


Looking forward to seeing this continue. I'm one of the contributors and playtesters, and it's nice to watch it in progress. Thanks for the show.

-Ben.


Still in, sorry, I was looking in the discussion thread.

Spoiler:
There is now, but I've already got one more person than my preferred size. Watch this space, though.
