Ok so more appropriately I'm writing an entire world, cosmology and history. I'll be changing around a few races origins completely, others things will just be edited a tad bit. Andre wants me to run this game once I am done making it, which actually will be after Madelaine has to leave unfortunately. I would like to have a slight inkling as to what races you all will be so I can focus on them. All races will be available, minus Dragon Lance races. I'm not going to tell you what the campaign entails as I want it to be a surprise. However Alignment does not matter either, and Intelligent undead are accepted members of society, along with were's and other generally shunned/feared/hated creatures. This does not mean that even the roaming warband of orc's is welcome in every city. They would be in most until they did something. So if you all could give me an idea as to what race you would want to be I would appreciate it. That way I could get a hunk of the work done.
Edit: forgot to mention I will allow up to lvl adjustment 3, just keep in mind I am starting everyone at lvl 5. Also were's shall use the forgotten realms template. So that is +1 for afflicted and +2 for natural.

Way cool ! And just to clarify this would be run AFTER poor Madelaine has to leave us so don't take it the wrong way Madelaine ... everyone else, Madelaine gave me a heads up that sometime in the year 2011 she will return to work (she's off on medical leave right now) .. and given that she lives in Germany and the enormous difference in time zones between Germany and the USA it would basically be impossible for her to continue in the campaign (for example 9pm in the night is 1 am her time ) ... we'll miss her big time when that time comes ! So darkalloy is basically prepping his campaign so we'll have one to put in place when Madelaine has to leave us .... I actually have a character written up albeit at 6th rather than 5th level I think so I'll have to downgrade her (from a previous campaign but I didn't get my "fill" of RP'ing her so to speak ) , but it should give you an idea of her personality and background and so forth, I'll shoot it to you via e-mail ... everyone else, my PC Sehlia will be a gorgeous half-elf female rogue... think friendly slut with a heart of gold who shoots her mouth off without thinking (chaotic good in alignment) ...

Yup and if you want to do what Andre did... sorta, the gold limit is actually that of 7th lvl. I'll explain why later. Mostly it's just because it is a very prosperous world, however that is not the only reason believe me. Also most of the world has some kind of extra planar ancestry, mostly along the lines of gods or Archdevils/demons. I would like when you do write the characters up to decide if you want to be and let me know who or want you want to be descended from. Also Andre gave me a full write up and I saw 34 point build, I like this Idea and if it was not Andre make it so. Hmmm..... Now I feel like Jean Luc Picard ..... Engage.

*Sigh* I just found out the Dundjinni demo doesn't let me save. *Sigh again* I've spent 4 hours on a world map and just found out.

Ok so I wanted to get a tad bit of help I've never been able to come up with a good names for the worlds I create so who wants to give me a few idea's?
Edit: Could always just call it Stenobookopia. So glad I decided to make a hard copy of my info on it. Now the F keys won't erase it.

Is it ok if we have the extra planar ancestry but not necessary have the half-celestial or half-fiendish (or demonic or whatever the heck it's called ) template for our character? Maybe something like the PC's grandma, great grandma et cet was a devil, demon or angel/celestial but the "bloodline" so to speak isn't strong enough for the PC to actually have the half celestial/half-fiendish template? Also some random page number quotes here in case anyone needs them from the dungeon master's guide version 3.5 - page 135, table 5-1 ... for a 7th level PC starting gold would be 19,000 gp.. so basically even though we're the equivilent of 5th level PC's starting out darkalloy is being kind enough to give us 19,000 gp worth of stuff - page 169 "standard point buy" is the method used to generate your ability scores except darkalloy has been kind enough to give us 34 points rather than the "32 point" option mentioned in there to buy ability scores .. Yup and if you want to do what Andre did... sorta, the gold limit is actually that of 7th lvl. I'll explain why later. Mostly it's just because it is a very prosperous world, however that is not the only reason believe me.

You are probably going to need all this in the long run. Well minus the heritage thats just kind of an Rp and subplot thing. But yes you can be a hlaf celestial or half fiend if the lvl adjust for the template fits.... I don't think it does, but it's been forever since I looked t those templates.

Ok but do we HAVE to take the template though? .. can we just say that we have angel, demon or devil ancestry from way back when (grandma, great grandma et cetera) solely as an RP thing and not take the template?

Oh no you do not have to take the template. It is solely an RP thing.

Just a bit of an update I want to say I'm about 50% to the point of it being playable for awhile while I write stuff during play and as such I am going to be making the world map to allows those who want to write up a pc preemptively to choose a city they were born in and such stuff. I will provide the information on the cities when I provide the map. Also you should note this is only open to six people when it starts and I will be doing a first wrote first play entry thing. Currently there are five spots left, even just a concept for right now will do just fine.

Ok cool .. I think I was the one who grabbed the first slot dark alloy speaks of since I already submitted a character ... dark alloy when you have the map and city and what not drawn up let me know when you need my input far as which city Sehlia comes from... her background write up mentions she was raised by snobby elves who never fully accepted the "half breed" among them if that helps any ...

So this will start sometime in the next year and replace the drow campaign? If so I'd be interested in joining, assuming the timing is the same. Though I will be sad to see the drow campaign leave. But I understand the troubles with timezones very well and it often makes things very sucky trying to combine gaming and work.

Yep that's correct solardawn ... dark alloy you were planning on running it same time and day (7pm eastern time zone usa Tuesdays every other week) once Madelaine has to leave us right?
