The Scarlet Tomb
« on: April 04, 2009, 12:59:48 PM »
Legend has long told of the first great empires to grace this world, before the age of man, when the fires of creation still burned bright. The greatest of these legends tells the tale of the Azer God-King, Malphiar the Red, whose holdings stetched from the Carrion Sea to the Mountains of Madness. Many have gone in search of the Scarlet King's tomb, and none have ever found the treasure - and returned to tell about it, anyway. An aging baron has approached you with an ancient map, said to lead to the ruins of Jish Toshir - the home of Malphiar's palace, the greatest city ever built by man or dwarf. Though the journey will be perilous, the rewards will be great. Can you muster the courage to seek fame and fortune in a ruin untouched by mortal hands since the dawn of civilization?


Details: 4e D&D game, heroic tier starting at level 1. All official 4e D&D supplements are allowed. Game will take place on Sundays (since it's the only free day for me.)

If you're interested, post a heads up. I'm trying to go back to basics with this game. A pure dungeon crawl experience, through the bowels of a megadungeon with incredible dangers and treasures in your path. There will be story, but I want most of what's present to be driven purely by the players. I know there's a bunch of games going right now, but if anyone's not playing in a game or wants to join another, give me a heads up.

I may be up for this.  New work schedule has me guaranteed off on Sundays and my regular play group isn't likely to reschedule.

Time on sunday is tba. I'm good pretty much anytime on sunday, though, so we'll see what works for most people.

Chargen by the way is standard from the book, nothing fancy. I'd make you roll d6s but I don't care that much for the purpose of this game.

I... yeah, sure, what the hell. I can't say no to a D&D game, especially when retro dungeon crawling is an explicit emphasis.

Will we be starting before or after the 14th? (That's when Arcane Power comes out, so that could be significant for some things.) I'd like to try a Cosmic Sorcerer if we'd be starting late enough for that.

Probably; I start my new job on the 13th, so I'll probably want the 12th to steel myself for working for the first time in two months, and obviously tonight is probably going to be bust.

If it isn't at some ungodly hour in Eastern Standard Time, I'd like to jump in.  Around 9PM is best for me, since I get off work at 9.

I've got a Tiefling Warlord that I rolled for the RosenBurrito game. Is it point-buy, 4d6, or other?

Point buy.

I'm CST. I'm not sure what time I'd be aiming at, it really depends on who all wants in and what times work for everyone else. I could start no later than 8pm my time though, as my new job is going to require me to wake up fairly early for training i suspect.

Okay. It turns out I never actually wrote anything down on a hard copy and my computer's in the shop. Refresh my memory on the prices of attributes, and the pool of points plz.

burrito/rosen's attrib buying scale was different from standard anyways.

method2:
start with these scores: 8,10,10,10,10,10. place them as you like. you have 22 points to spend on improving them. cost as below:
(if your score is 8, you may pay 1 to make it 9 or 2 to make it 10. you must buy your score up to 10 before you can improve it further)

11 = 1pt
12 = 2pts
13 = 3pts
14 = 5pts
15 = 7pts
16 = 9pts
17 = 12pts
18 = 16pts

then after points are distributed you add racial modifiers etc etc.

--------------------------

yo shinra a character idea just popped into my head; i "have time on sundays" but it's earlier in the EST (another, very low-maintenance, game from 9pm to 1am EST); if you can get a time locked down from other folks and i'm available i am expressing interest. if you still have openings i could fill, that is.

I think I may be cancelling this due to lack of demand; I figured with as many games as there were there wouldn't be many players available, so not a particularly big deal.
