I started this before, right before getting an overload of things to do. Never started, I still have ll the ideas waiting to be let out.

I am looking to GM a D&D type game. I'm not really familiar enough with the rules to be strict, but it will be loosely based on 3.5.

Basic starting rules: 7th level and 20000 gp. Stats- 4d6 drop the lowest for each basic stat, one free re-roll for lowest stat. Plus one extra, for reasons to be explained later.

I figured out why things stay in the interest phase so long.

I'd say it can be as loose as the players decide. But mostly I mean, I'll be using 3.5 as a basis, but if I mess up or think a particular rule doesn't fit my style, then I'll alter slightly.

I'm willing to say any character will fit, unless someone finds a way to make me regret it.

The plot is a basic quest for magical artifacts. Each artifact will have it's own back story, powers, and guardian. There is no final enemy to face, no reason other then glory to collect them, at least nothing the characters know about. After discovering the first artifact it will revealed to be part of a legendary warrior's equipment, that he was buried in.
-Apparently, I lied. Magical artifacts was the only true thing about this statement.-

Also, if the players are interested in adding a sexual element, I can work it in. Just give an opinion and limits.

I'd be interested.  Just need what your character guide lines are and what level we start at.
If you know me personally, you know how to contact me.

Sounds good. It seems like we've got two people, so long as you both keep checking.

Are you ok with monsters? I could make a pixie rogue if you are.

BigBuckBob

Sounds good to me, but the game seems to not have any interest. OR at least, those who have interest never seem to hav einterest at the same time.

All those interested make a post to express you are still interested.

I think that counts as at least two of you.

Post up some character sheets. Do whatever you plan on doing with them, don't wait for me to answer questions. I'll find a way to make it work .  Anything I think your missing we can deal with after we've gotten started. Link is in the first post.

I need my books to make the sheet, but expect a Female Pixie/Rogue 3. Since I don't have the books right now I can't check DMG, but isn't 1,400 gold rather low for 7th(I can barely get a decent set of armor for that :p)?

Considering the phrases 'check my book' and 'isn't that too low' I'd have to say you're probably the most familiar with the rules of anyone that has expressed interest. So I will reiterrate, that I plan on rewarding creativity. Make it sound feasible, and I'll go with it.

How about this. One set of average armor, one average weapon [one each ranged and melee], and 1400 to get yourself something fancy.
If this still seems off, go ahead and follow whatever standard you think would work, I'll likely approve.. I only put a price in because I've been confused before when not given a price range.

For lvl 7 by the book yes it is low, but as the DM sead its that amount I am fine by it being that amount.

As I understand the rules of DnD will be mostly used to get away from the small problems that free form games usually develop ware everybody gets awesome at some things and some people becom god :P

Far eyes and Asherah have now both submitted chracters. Please repost in the ooc thread. Hopefully I get one from MYstic as well.

I'll work on an intro and such, but I'm working on school stuff the next couple days, so it might not get posted until the weekend.

Hiya. I had been trying to think of ideas before diving in, but now I have an idea, I'd like to join if there's room. I can make a character sheet quickly.

I would like to play a cute little Mephit girl, using a class invented by Frank & K, "Conduit of the Lower Planes". Basically, she can fly about while Small size, and has a number of spell-like abilities to cast to help her teammates. Would this work?

In the first post I made a passing mention of sexual content, but I never heard anything. 
Before I get started, is it expected or wanted?

If it is made part of it, it isn't a major part of the plot. Although it could be.

I seam to have missed the character sheet thread link, could you re post it.
Sexual contact yes, as long as it isn’t the plot is cool and wanted.

In the books [DMG]  the starting gold for a 7th level is 19000 gold pieces.     It you want to use that.

Also I did not pick out any magic yet for the character.   Is that based upon approval case by case then.


Here is the magic items I like to add and costs, for approval.

Monks Belt    [Damage and AC bonus is as 5 levels higher as Monk.]  cost 13000 GP,  wt 1 lb

Circlet of Persuasion  [+3  competence bonus to Charisma checks]   cost 4500 GP
