Saturday Morning Game!

[Anastasia]

Okay, Eb's City of the Drow game ended in a TPK. Let us have a moment of silence for those filthy, filthy exhibitionist drow. May Lolth torment their souls.

...

Right! Since no one's really stepped up to the plate to run something else, I'm thinking about running a oneshot over the next several weeks. The times would be around 6 AM to 11 AM, give or take a little time depending on how early I can get up and how late Rat can stay up. I'm fishing for a few things:

1. What sort of one shot would you guys like? Any themes you'd like to do? Any sort of PCs you'd like to run?

2. Difficulty level? It's a one shot so I don't have to worry quite as much about killing all of you.

3. I'm thinking around mid levels with gestalt. It's a one shot, so why not make potent builds? If you don't wanna deal with that, speak up.

4. Assuming the four of you play, that's 4 PCs. If anyone else is interested(Or reads this and is interested), speak up. I wouldn't mind having a large party to deal with.

Screw you, all the drow were modestly adorned in armor!

How about playing monks? Monks get no love. We should play and see who is the coolest monk.

[Ebiris]

An exciting nautical adventure would be fun, but feel free to go with whatever.

As for difficulty, lets play mid-level gestalt dudes and go balls to the wall difficulty.

[Corwin]

A gestalt where one part is MONK and the other can't be a traditional casting class!

That could be a fun gimmick, and a lack of normal casters makes prep easier on everyone. Any build in mind, Seira?

That's one vote for balls to the wall difficulty.

[Anastasia]

Books allowed: All core, all splatbooks besides ToB, which I just don't want to deal with. Third party stuff can be allowed if it's cool/interesting/not unbalanced.

I can't believe I forgot to add that in the OP.

[Corwin]

Not as such, no, but I've been having a general interest in monks lately again. I did toy with a monk/cleric, but it'd be excluded here. Would be nice if alignment didn't matter, so you could have monk spellthieves and what not.

If I get to punch out Cthulhu with my bare hands, I don't mind if I have to fight it.

[Anastasia]

Yeah, I can wave the lawful thing with monks if you'd like. No big.

[VySaika]

Now someone needs to play a frothing at the mouth Brawlbarian.

[Carthrat]

Scratch everything I said here, Monk/??? sounds fun.

I'd like the oneshot to be a sandbox, where we have some clear goal but multiple paths of obtaining it.

On a scale of 1-10, I'd like the difficulty to be around 7-8 as opposed to 10. 'Difficulty' is a nebulous concept anyway, high difficulty means to me that 'haha, you may randomly die to bullshit and stupid luck', can we shift it away from that and towards 'you may die because you did it wrong!' Because after Drow, I have a pressing need to prove that I can do it right. >_>

[Carthrat]

Also, let's ban fly.

I like the idea of a 'the king is dead! Who will be the next king?' scenario. Since we're talking nautical adventures, we can make it 'the pirate king is dead! who will be the next pirate king?' and combine the best of both worlds.

6 am?

wow, I'd love to join a saturday game, but 6 am EST is way out of my managable range :(

Yeah, I'd love to have you on if you can find a way to make it work.

[Anastasia]

Okay. What we're looking at now is:

Sea campaign, gestalt, monk focus, no standard casting classes, high but not stupid difficulty, ban flight. This sound good, everyone?

[Dracos]

:(  have fun.  3 am to 8 am is just not possible.  Maybe next time.
