D&D 3.5 Adventure

[Dcatanzaro682]

I've been wanting to make a D&D adventure for a while so I decided to create one. We will be using version 3.5. The CS we will be using can be found at the following link under D&D v 3.5 character sheet (80k pdf/zip) - From the D&D v3.5 Player's Handbook. http://archive.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/dnd/charactersheets This sheet is the most familiar to me and will allow me to help you create it if you need help. The adventure will follow default D&D 3.5 rules unless stated otherwise in the adventures, I will let you know about these on a base by base scenario when we come across them, if you would like to join an adventure of either small or large group size than please let me know in this post and also please PM me. I will need a copy of your character sheets when you are done making them, if you do not have a 3.5 Player's handbook let me know and I can help you make a sheet. We can do it over PM or if you have skype, google+, or steam we can use those to work on the sheets at a time we are both free.

What kind of style are you looking for? Setting-wise, I mean.

Questions:
1. Are we sticking to the set DnD classes or are Pathfinder classes included
2. Set races or are we allowed to make our own using the race builder for Pathfinder
3. If we are allowed to build our own races, how many racial points are we allowed

-In simplicity, how strict are we sticking to DnD and what aspects of Pathfinder are there

[Dcatanzaro682]

@BelatedGamer If I don't answer your question than rephrase it please. My plan is a 4-6 member adventure, the normal fantasy based adventure. I need to get an idea of the what the party consists of before I can get into more detail, I'd be making the adventure based on the party. Although for the idea I have right now its going to build a world made up of a few small islands and towns. The party will be asked to help out farmers or royalty, depending how far this makes it, and getting rich/strong due to these requests which normally have you clearing out a dungeon or something. Again I have the idea of some adventures written down, but before I can align why you are doing these tasks or what you'd get from it I'd need to find out an idea of how the party will/might fit together. Of course after the first dungeon I'd have a better idea what I'm working with.

1/2) I would prefer you stick with the races and classes from the Player's handbook Version 3.5, so I would have access to information while building the dungeons, but my brothers have collected a few books I do have access to. You can use any class/race from the following books, but please let me know which ones you use.

Libris Mortis The Book of Undead
Races Of Stone
Planar Handbook
Players Handbook v 3.5
Draconomicon The Book of Dragons
Complete Warrior
Complete Arcane
Complete Divine
FrostBurn Mastering the Perils of Ice and Snow
Expanded Psionics Handbook

3. As I have mentioned above I would prefer the pre-set races from any of the above books, but I would be willing to allow you to make them as long as you do not require help creating the race and I can judge that that character is not over powered. I might request you to make some changes like race specific bonuses.@Kronshi

I would be interested in this game/setting, like everyone i have a couple of question.

1. Is there a preferred alignment for your players.

2. how will it work?

Well thats about it for now, hopefully we can talk trough skype, i'll pm you in a bit.

Last thing, i like the idea of sticking to DnD has i've played a bit too much on pathfinder. there is a complete site with all the rules of pathinder. So if the problem was about rules and such, then i'll send you a link.

[Dcatanzaro682]

Thanks Keygans, Also I would prefer players be Lawful or Neutral good. Generally people in the past have had trouble working together with chaotic and lawful in one adventure.

1) What's the starting level? This would influence what races are available. I'm interested in playing a Centaur, but with 4 racial hit dice and a +2 level adjustment, we'd need to be starting at pretty high level for me to start with any class levels.

2) How are ability scores being generated? I'm hoping for some form of point buy, since it's vastly more fair and it also stops people from cheating on their rolls.

3) Are characters required to be good, or simply required to not be evil?

4) What can you tell us about the world? Any major factions we should know about? A quick overview of the major religions might also be helpful for those interested in playing a cleric, paladin, or other divine caster.

I am interested my character will be in the works.

@thorgili

1)The party will be starting at level one and working their way up, sorry if this negatively impacts your character, since this will be my first adventure as DM I'm trying to keep things fairly simple.

2)The CS I've already received used ability scores generated by die rolls. All you have to do is decide which ability you want each roll in.

3)Characters can be whatever alignment they want, however I would prefer that they be neutral or lawful. Adventures tend to get chaotic and less fun with chaotic and lawful people "attempting" to work together.

4) I found out yesterday that my D&D Folder/notes were thrown away when I wasn't home, so I'm currently creating the new one again. I don't have much information as of right now since I've just drawn up the new map last night. The map will be of islands and contents, you will be beginning on the largest island in a town just out of the main city surrounded by forests. To get to the capital you would need to cross a road leading through mountains. There are four, possibly 5, rival nations. 2 large continents that run off of the "Known World", an island nation made up of many small islands, the nation your starting on ruled under a monarch, and lastly a small island that I currently have planned simply being there with an indigenous tribe living on it. The other nations are led by other rulers, haven't completely decided how yet, but one of them will be a monarch as well. The starting town is on the content of Eincrad. You will be starting in the village called Neilrad and the capital of Eincraf is Denmar. The two contenent nations are Acindia and Mort Reyald. The island nation is Isle de Crandor with a capital of Azarak.

@thorgili Thanks for letting me know your interested, if you need help making the character just PM me and we can talk over skype, Steam, or Google+.

As for the CSes I've received:
CN: Artemis Kratos
Player: Keygan
Class: Warrior
Race: Human
Alignment: Lawful Neutral
Gender: Male

[Dcatanzaro682]

Quick update. I know I've lost the old dungeon, but so far I have the starting town laid out and sketched out the entire first level of the dungeon, yes spoilers kill me =P.

[thorgili]

My charactersheet is almost done

[Primal Conundrum]

Wait, so we ARE rolling for stats? 4d6 drop lowest or what?

@Primal Conundrum

least thats what I thought

[Dcatanzaro682]

To create an ability score for your character, roll 4d6 and disregard the lowest die roll. @Primal Conundrum@thorgili

@thorgili

Good, just pm me your skype if you have one and I'll add you. After that all you have to do is scan to PDF and drag/drop the PDF file into the skype chat.

[Primal Conundrum]

Wait, we're doing this over skype? I'm out.

@Primal Conundrum

I'm currently attempting to program something to allow us to do this easily. The plan will be a program with a "white board", a mspaint like software that would allow me to draw/upload the map to a screen that you guys could draw on as well or move "pieces". There is planned to have a way to roll dice that spits out your roll into a chat that you can type into. The only problem with this is I have no experience with Graphics and Java. Any background coding I can get done with rather quickly, but the Graphical Interface is a problem that I'm currently trying to create/deal with.

Although my post about skype earlier is just one of the simple ways for you to send me your character sheet. If you can think of any other way to send me the character sheet that is better than skype, let me know and I'll try to do it.

[SwarthyBard126]

Is this still open?

[Dcatanzaro682]

Yes it is @SwarthyBard126

@Dcatanzaro682
Is it alright if I don't use the PDF? I can't edit it and I found an interactive CS.
