D&D 3.5 Campaign: Plagued by Hate

A note on starting gear/gold: You may roll the starting gold given for your class. You may also begin with a set of armor, a shield (if you want one), and a single weapon, none of which will count against your starting wealth. Bards, druids, clerics, etc. may also have a free instrument/focus.

Thanks to Ollumhammersong for bringing it up! :D

Also, Joshua Tamashii - While I'm fine with a necromancer, be advised that this campaign will be set in a fairly standard (ha) fantasy setting. If people don't understand what you're doing, it might result in distrust, even persecution. Just something to keep in mind, so if you do happen to run into a group of wandering paladins, don't be surprised if they attempt to arrest or execute you for your "crimes." Not that I don't approve of necromancy, of course... (Pic related)

Elite array is 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8. And that's fine, if no one has any objections.

As for sheets, I'd appreciate a PM with the link, or you could post it in here for review/approval (from myself as well as your peers). Either way, I'll probably make a quick reference for myself for submitted characters.

Stick to creating a level 1 character for now, and we can discuss the future development via PM or OOC.

Also, a picture of your character would be appreciated!

I'd prefer to keep the party good-aligned, although there may be a few choice pieces from BoVD that I'd be willing (and likely - maw ha ha) to give to the players.

I'd also prefer not to have to go hunting for pages in a dozen books per character. But, so long as I get books and page numbers for whatever you're thinking of, I will most likely allow it.

Thanks for catching that! Links should be fixed now.

Yep!

D&D 3.5 Campaign: Plagued by Hate

So, I've had this idea for a D&D 3.5 campaign for a while, but it never really played out the way I wanted with my regular group. The game ended up dying due to real-world difficulties with work and the like.

If you're interested/familiar with 3.5, please read on.

This campaign would use content from the Book of Vile Darkness pretty heavily, maybe some Heroes of Horror, and a rare sliver of the Book of Exalted Deeds.

As far as what I'd managed to get through with my friends, our characters had managed to unearth evidence of a plague, magical in nature yet resistant or immune to the standard methods of treatment (potions and spells had no effect, and there wasn't any mundane treatment that could safely be attempted). This plague struck a small thorp (no more than 50 residents), and the heroes were dispatched to see why the down suddenly "went dark," as it were. Some fighting ensues, some asses are kicked (the PC's, mostly), and some questions are raised.

And then we got assigned to different work shifts (IRL) and the campaign sort of died for a bit.

So, the question I have for you, dear potential player, is this: Do you want to play Dungeons & Dragons with me?

It'd be fairly straightforward D&D. Character sheets should be done through myth-weavers.com. Any questions, character actions and dice rolls would take place OOC (through rolz.org, join the room Roleplayerguild Game - Plagued by Hate with your username as your nickname, then post the results here in the OOC), then the story would be written around those elements.

For example:

OOC: Player 1 asks: "What do I see inside the house?"
OOC: DM replies: "You see that the candles are out, but the moon from outside allows you to see a vaguely humanoid shape within, sitting in a chair in the corner of the bedroom."
OOC: Player 1 says: "I want to break the window and throw a bottle of alchemist's fire into the room."
OOC: DM replies: "Okay. Roll a strength check to break the window, DC 5 to pass. Then, if you pass that, go ahead and roll a ranged attack to see if your flask hits whatever you're aiming for. What are you aiming for?"
OOC: Player 1 says: "The figure, of course."
OOC: DM says: "Okay then, in that case I'll let you know if you hit." [This is because I like it to be a bit more suspenseful. If you know the AC to beat, it becomes a game of numbers. This way, there's still some feeling of uncertainty, which makes each hit that much more rewarding.]
OOC: Player 1 rolls a 15 (13 on the dice roll, +2 STR), breaking the window. Player 1 then rolls a 18 on their attack roll (16 on the dice roll, +2 DEX). DM says that this is a hit, and the figure is now covered in alchemist's fire, and illuminated, revealing a very surprised half-orc, who takes 4 points of fire damage.
IC: Player 1 writes:
The rogue peeks through the window, wondering what treasures might lie within, ripe for the taking. However, upon pressing her nose against the glass, she spots a figure in the corner of the room, barely visible even with the light of the moon piercing the gloom.
After ducking down beneath the windowsill and calming herself down, she peeks up again, decides to throw caution to the wind, and reaches into her pack. Withdrawing a flask of luminous orange, viscous liquid, she holds it at the ready.
Wrapping a bit of her cloak around her hand, she strikes the window, shattering the glass, before lobbing the flask of alchemist's fire into the room. Her aim is true, and the flask breaks open on the figure.
As his clothes ignite with the substance, the fire reveals some of his features. The half-orc, now roused from his sleep and finding himself to be on fire, begins thrashing about the room, attempting to beat the fire out with his hands, only for it to burn his palms as well.

For the most part, regular roleplaying would determine the direction of the story.

And, in the spirit of good DMing, I would make a PC designed to not steal the spotlight. Most likely a bard, cleric, or archivist. It would depend on what those of you who would like to play, would like to play. :P

Interested?

Kira, how will dice rolls be handled? I recently found out about rolz.org, which has a dice room/group function, so you can keep track of rolls (so people don't constantly roll 20's that can't be confirmed or denied).

Already testing it out a bit, and made a room should you decide to go for it. Room name is Roleplayerguild Guild: New D&D (3.5e Adventure)

I can help you out with that (via PM, so as to keep the thread clear) if you want.

Teen Titans: Rising Tide

Abrupt as the attack was, Vaeros was poorly prepared for the contents of the fire extinguishers, which coated him in a substance that bit him down to the bone with its frigid temperature, even if only for a moment. His own internal heat quickly caused the substance to slough off of his skin.

He was better able to anticipate the blow with the improvised weapon, however, and raised an arm to take the brunt of the force, which he used to further his own motions and carry him around in a pirouette, ending the move with a backhand across the thug's face.

The force of his blow was great enough to send the man sprawling, but it was the pain that would likely keep him down. Running at full heat now, Vaeros' skin to skin contact with the thug had left an angry red welt raised from his right cheekbone to his left eyebrow.

Turning to the remaining thug, Vaeros tossed his head back, flicking a bit more of the extinguishers contents from his feathers and offering a fiendish smile before conjuring a fireball to his hands and hurling it at him.
