I'd like to give the game a try, so if anyone is thinking of starting even a small game, or has a free space please let me know.

I don't at the moment, but I can add you to my alternates list and keep you in mind if I start another one. That might happen, I'm toying with some ideas.

Thank you! I'm eager to give it a go.

Just bumping to see if anyone has any open space two weeks on?

Not as yet, but if one does come up, I will let you know. I have a particularly hectic week coming up, but once that's over I am looking at a one-shot. That's a bit vague, I know, but I'm averse to running something I can't finish, so it's better for me to know I can commit the time beforehand.

Thank you, your very good!

I'm looking forward to giving the game a go if I get the chance, a once-off is the best thing for that!

If you'd like I could run for you a solo adventure called Dark Awakening(s). It was originally written as a sort of D&D meets Choose-Your-Own-Adventure module but it's just as fun with a real GM. Let me know if you're interested and I'll see if I can secure some hosting for images and stuff.

If its a PBP I sure am interested!

It'll be a game in the Play-by-Post section of this messageboard, and if you can recommend a good host for images/files so I can link to the battlemaps in the thread it'd be good. I'll be upfront about it and tell you that I have never actually run a PBP before so you're actually a guinea pig of sorts in my experiment to gauge the amount of time and logistics I would need to devote to running a future Kingmaker or Rise of the Runelords PBP.

Anyway, do you have access to a Player's Handbook? If not and if you haven't already heard about it, you can refer to the Quick Start Rules on Wotsy's D&D Test Drive site. You'll also need a 1st level character, which I can generate in the DDI Character Builder if you'd like. You can give me a Pathfinder character concept and I'll do my best to reimage it in 4e mechanics. Or if there's one of the 25 classes you'd like to try we can do that. Alternatively choose one of the four roles (defender, striker, leader and controller) and a power source (martial, arcane, divine, primal, psionic).

I have access to my college gaming societies Player's Handbook, for awhile and I can photocopy pages, etc. So I have that.

I'd love to play, any class that would be best, like in 3.x you can't play a low-level caster solo, is that true in 4e?

EDIT: Photobucket always works for me for image hosting.

My unsolicited $.02 -- if it's a single-person party, and you're restricting yourself to PHB1, I'd recommend Cleric. It's really the only class set up to be competent at melee, ranged, and healing.

This is true, although any solo character is going to have a hard time handling encounters meant for a party of five of the same level.

However in this adventure a caster is viable.

Ideally you want to have each of the four roles filled, and as Pat suggests the cleric is one of the classes that can cover several roles rather well. The designer has taken this into account by providing a party member that covers the other roles reasonably well (e.g. a flanking buddy for Sneak Attack if you're a rogue). Also the encounters have been designed to suit a party of two, though you won't be fighting fewer monsters than a standard party.

What class or concept would you like to play?

Sorry I don't have any opening in my 4e game but will keep you in mind if a spot opens up.
Also after the Dark Sun books drop in a few months I will starting a new game set on Athas.

@Xabulba: Awesome!

@Peasant Railgun: Human wizard? Will it be set on Golarion? P.S. One thing I really don't like about 4e is the alignments, and the PHB gods don't excite me.

Oh, what ability generation method should I use?

I prefer the old alignment system as well, and the module is setting neutral so it'll be easy to adapt to Golarion (which is where you'll be once I decide where in Avistan to plonk you). As you'll playing a wizard just choose any god you envision your character worshiping because unless you're playing a divine character that chooses channel divinity feats and/or domains, mechanically it has no bearing on you character.

Use either one of the suggested arrays or the 22 point buy method. Note that cost of each point is different to Pathfinder (just as Pathfinder is different to 3.5). If you don't mind installing extra stuff on your computer (this is assuming you're on a Windows PC) the character builder demo in the test drive page lets you make a level 1 to 3 character. It's entirely up to you.

It's highly recommended that you put either 16–18 into INT as all your attacks key off it.

I used 22 point, I think I have a workable character sheet now. Should I email it to you? Or host it online?

Please host it online and link to it in the discussion thread.
