Just checking if anyone would like to play in Greyhawk on Mondays (5:30 pm MST (7:30 pm EST) to 8:30 pm MST (10:30 pm EST) using Roll20. I don't have a full story planned. But you may find Greyhawk: the Adventure Begins or the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer useful. I'd like to review the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer on my blog. So, I want to playtest it.
The game is not play-by-post. It's a weekly live game played over roll20. I know some races in the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer will need some adjustment.
Allowable Races
* Human, Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, Gnome, and Orc. As always, see the Advanced Race Guide. Orcs are interfertile with humans, so Half-orcs are possible.
Allowable Classes
All the classes in the Core Rulebook, Advanced Player's Guide, Ultimate Magic, and Ultimate Intrigue. I will also be allowing the Warlock from Complete Arcane, and the Shaman class from the World of Warcraft RPG. No prestige classes. Yes, I think the Shaman class from the WoW RPG is better than the Shaman in the Advanced class Guide.
Gods and Clerics
All of the Gods in the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer are viable as patrons. Those players wishing to use the subdomains from the APG (or other sources) should work with me to get their domains selected.
Psionics
Yes, I am a big fan of psionics. No, we won't be using either source for psionics. I'm, or we are, playtesting the Living Greyhawk Gazetteer, not Ultimate Psionics.
Character Creation details
Generating stats. You may roll 4d6 dice six times, dropping the lowest die and taking the total of the three highest dice for your scores. Normally I would do point buy, but not for this campaign.
Traits. You may choose two traits per campaign guidelines. You may select traits from the APG, the ARG, and Ultimate Campaign.
starting Level. The campaign will start at first level. Don't worry, you will start with full hit points.
Alignment. Try not to choose evil alignments. I want to play all the bad guys.
So, who would like to play in Greyhawk?

Hey there! So psionics are allowed, not allowed, or they just don't have a system you've chosen yet?
Oh, sorry. They are not allowed for this game.
4d6; 4d6; 4d6; 4d6; 4d6; 4d6
Dotting and putting forward interest with a cleric of St. Cuthbert. Will probably work up a sheet later tonight; but before I do, just to double check, do the allowed books for classes extend to archetypes and feats? Just so I know what I have to work with for planning.
Yes they do! ;-)
I'm interested!
4d6 ⇒ (2, 3, 1, 4) = 10
4d6 ⇒ (3, 1, 3, 3) = 10
4d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 4, 2) = 12
4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 4, 5) = 20
4d6 ⇒ (5, 6, 3, 5) = 19
4d6 ⇒ (1, 6, 3, 3) = 13
Yes, you can.
FYI I wrote a few Living Greyhawk mods. I love the setting. What area do we start in? Can we human racial languages from Greyhawk?
Yes, you can take human racial languages. I was thinking the kingdom of Nyrond to start with.
What about half orcs and half elves? Just wondering...I'll probably do my final "sheet" in HeroLab for you to approve? Then Roll20
Half-orcs are possible, but half-elves are not. :)
Oh right, how are we doing starting wealth? Roll class wealth? 100gp flat?
Starting wealth at maximum for your class. Please. :D
Do you want rolls made here, or is doing them in HeroLab sufficient?
Do you want rolls made here, or is doing them in HeroLab sufficient?
I prefer you do the rolls here.
Alright, rough sheet is done, though might need a double check on the gold math and feedback on anything that might need tweaked/changed.
Okay. You're feats are persuasive and selective channeling. Are you hoping to double as the party face?
Thanks

4d6I'll take this and go elven ranger from the Celadon Forest.
The DMs aren't working. I can email the sheet.
I won't put my email address on a public forum. But the DMs seem to be working now.
Do you have a rough idea of when you're wanting to get things underway? January? Later?
Regardless, I'm never above rolling stats. Also, fairly fond of Greyhawk.
[dice=4d6]4d6
[dice=4d6]4d6
[dice=4d6]4d6
[dice=4d6]4d6
[dice=4d6]4d6
[dice=4d6]4d69, 11, 14, 9, 13, 11
That's uh, well that's something.
January is when I have things planned to start rolling.
If you ever decide to run a PbP version, I'd be interested, but don't have the bandwidth at the moment for a live game.
Suppose I could also roll again? Much as I am tempted to make do with such an abysmal set for the sake of laughs I don't think I would get chosen with it.
Unless I can make an absolutely terrible kobold. In which case I would happily drive the stats lower.
Yes, you could roll again.
Ah. Well -- looks like the die roller has you fixed. :)
Might as well try. I have Mondays free.

That's pretty solid. I usually do fighters. What rules are available for feats and such? I rather like the advanced weapon and armor training stuff.
You can play a strength fighter or a dexterity fighter -- if you are looking to put that other 16 into intelligence. If not, a dexterity fighter supplemented by strength might be the ticket.
Likely strength and dex with the 16s. Con 13 and Int 12

Very vanilla. I may chase the intimidate stuff like hurtful. Likely to be very tanky (which I always do more or less).
Okay, we begin play tonight.
Will need roll20 link and starting cash number.
Is it possible to sneak in on this one or are you all filled up??
Well, not everyone showed up, so you can submit something, Daniel Stewart. :)
Yes, that is much better. So, got a race and class you want to play, Daniel?
I was trying to see what you have already??
Maybe a cleric or wizard...looks like you have a number of fighters already lol
Well, we have a Warpriest and a fighter. At least, those are the ones who showed up for the first game.

He looks okay. I take it he's Baklunish? Is he from Hepmonaland? Or is he from somewhere more exotic (like Erypt)?
