Looking to instead of a DnD 2e Campaign, a Hackmaster 4e campaign.
This is the Fourth Edition of the game.
Rolls to start are 8+1d10 for your seven stats.
I will say I have never DM'd a straight RAW Hackmaster game, but I would love to get one up and going.
Love the System, Love the humor and the danger. Yes, you may die, so I often say have a few backup characters ready to go.
If I get 5 to 7 people interested, I will move forward. If not, I'll go back to My Idea for a DnD 2e campaign.
Interested!
Wow. Interested. Huge fan of KotDT.
Will need to check my bandwidth, but will be watching this progress, nonetheless.
Ok, though three weeks is a looooong time :)
I feel like usually the peak in interest happens within the first couple of days? Heck, maybe a week, tops.

Bam! We almost have a full group ;)
Been perusing the rules. There is a LOT of interesting stuff there. Including Active Defenses and a crazy interesting Initiative system.
I am going to take a look at hackmaster. Assuming we roll in order.
If everyone is rolling, I might roll as well then.

Hmmmm, I am feeling... Maybe a Dwarf Fighter or a Human Paladin?
EDIT: Adding starting Honor = 20 (+7BP)

I went into this with the thought of 1 of 3 character options. I am always trying to recreate my very first character ever who was an Evoker and adventured in the FR. Another idea was one of the most fun character's I ever played a cleric/illusionist. And the third idea was a fighter mage thief. I always had one of those in the party whenever I played a SSI AD&D game.
Based on what I rolled the cleric/illusionist is out.
After reading the PHB a pixie fairy sounds interesting as well.
Are we using the methods from the PHB where we can change stats?
Str: 13/15

Int: 16/30
Wis: 10/44

@Critzible - would we start at level 1?
@Critzible - would we start at level 1?Y3wn there is a coupon you can take to get you bonus xp. You only get 1 coupon per session and once used its done.
This coupon gives you 3000 xp but you have ro randomly roll for a Major Quirk or Flaw.
Eeeeeesh, that is a very tough choice - I took a look at the Quirks and Flaws, and damn... It is cherry picking for me (and maybe not even that). Some/most of them are just too damn harsh! :D
= Right handed
= Middle Middle
= Legitimate
= Living
= Living
= Loving Parent (+5BP)
= Loving Parent (+5BP)
= Great Honor (+5 Honor)
= None
Will roll starting gold and consider if I want to reroll any Background, after spending BPS on Skills, Talents and Proficiencies.
Ok, I think I have my initial BPs spent - wow, there is a LOT of stuff :O
Culture (Race Specific) 1 Wisdom
Customs and Etiquette (Culture Specific) 1 Wisdom
Heraldry 1 Int
Local History 1 (Cha+Wis)/2
World History 1 Wisdom
Basic Leadership 3 (Cha+Wis)/2
Military: Leadership 4 (Int+Wis+Cha)/3
Religion, general 1 Wisdom
Armor Maintenance 1 (Int+Dex)/2
Shaving/Grooming 1 Int
Weapon Maintenance 1 Dex
Attitude Adjustment 1 (Str+Cha)/2
Brawler 2 (Str+Dex)/2
Singing 1 Cha
Endurance 4 (Wis+Con(/2
Healing 2 Wis
Jumping 1 Str
Riding 1 (Dex+Wis)/2
Tracking 2 Wis
Diplomacy 2 Cha
Blind fighting 10
Which means I have 5BP left.
Chose no Quirks or Flaws. Still mulling it over.

Cherry picking or roll, Trust me you want that BP. Besides if you die and are brought back by Diminished Rite you will get more and get no BP

When buying Skills you have to have the prerequisite skill at 51% before you can get the next skill.
Also Your Stats go up as you level. At least the precentiles. You can use BP on Money and/or Stats.
All parties will have Quirks and Flaws its your Choice to Cerry pick, 2 minor and 1 major or roll 3+1d6 for random.
