The Dungeons of Doom

[Transgirlenstein]

Just wondering if this was still going and in need of any players?

[Jeramiahh]

Much to the detriment of my sanity, I always have open spots for this game. Did you have some ideas, already?

[Transgirlenstein]

Just thinking of a character really.  What sort of ideas do you need?

[WyzardWhately]

I'm finding myself pretty interested in this.  I'd like to play a human - probably a Swordmage, Warlock, or Rogue of some kind.  But I'll have to kick around in the character builder a while to decide exactly what.

I'm assuming we go by 4E starting wealth rules, instead of 20,000 GP?

[Jeramiahh]

To reflect the different wealth level, add one more item of each level, and double your gold. That means 2 7th level items, 2 6th, 2 5th, and 2000gp. However, since you may not need two items of each level, you can also trade items for gold at a 1:1 ratio, during creation. This gives you a grand total of 12,800gp, though no item may be purchased over 7th level, and then, no more than 2 of those. You may also spend gold (and levels!) on an ally; prices are half of what's listed above, except the level cost.

Zekiel was a guide and woodsman, once upon a time.  However, some ill-defined but unwise and morally ambiguous act has led to his exile, and the great damage of his reputation.  He's since turned for solace to the Raven Queen, and for a living to Adventuring.  He's a wiry man with black hair and blue eyes, of slightly below-average height.  Despite his lack of bulging muscles, he's an unholy terror with the sword he keeps strapped to his back.

I'd definitely be interested in playing as some kind of female rogue who goes looking in looking for wealth, and finds nothing but trouble. I played something similar to this a while back, but I'm not too familiar with the workings of the system so I may need help getting it all set up. Are you still looking for players?

[Jeramiahh]

Much to the detriment of my sanity, I always have open spots for this game.

Big question, of course, is which system would you like to play? 4e's better for newbies, but tougher on solo players, 3.5/Pathfinder's harder to learn, but easier to play.

Send me a PM with the answer, too.

Addendum:  I really imagine Zekiel more as a victimizer than a victim, but, well, it's a dungeon and sometimes bad shit happens.

Additionally, I can expand his background further if he's accepted.  I generally keep things fairly sketchy at first and fill in details via exposition and flashback, but it seems traditional here to turn in more than a few short paragraphs.

Also, I somehow failed to realize you were still taking characters in the older editions.  If this one dies horribly, I may take the opportunity to give Pathfinder a try.  I'm sufficiently familiar* with 3.x that it should come easily to me.

*Obscenely so, in truth.
