Purple Dragon Inn, Call for 3.5E Gamers

[Dragonkat]

I'm trying to round up gamers for an epic style, Elder E game.
Hopefully to become a campaign. Purple Dragon Inn membership has been
reconfigured, lurkers welcome, typers glorified.

The central game-starting premise is a call for 20th level PCs to
'save the world.'
--Any takers?

Why would they want to save it?
Hmmm... well, anyway...Sure!

Let me get this straight: You believe that a cosmic Jewish zombie who
was his own father will let you live forever if you pretend to eat his
flesh, drink his blood, and telepathically tell him that you accept
him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that
he put there a long time ago as punishment for all humanity because a
rib-woman made from a dust-man was convinced by a talking snake to eat
fruit from a magical tree? What kind of dangerous drugs are you on?

the hint that the bird is a complex illusion that is going to pester
you until you get the wizard who sent it, greater dispel magic doesn't
cut the mustard. And that wizard is... in Adderfel.

I am a Christian who plays D&D. Is that so contradictory?

[Darren Lee Mitton]

No, considering most D&D is the ol' 'good vs. evil' shtick - such is
the game. I'm a gnostic-pagan. Is that a problem?

That's been my signature for quite awhile - it wasn't 'aimed' at you....

Also, how would you feel about a neutral-evil character forced by
happenstance to help the party in their mission?

Not really, just a off-hand reaction...

Sounds like the were-rat & paladin tale on rec.games.frp.dnd

Perhaps I should change my opinion-- 'that might not be good for party
cohesion' to 'its your neck!' There is, I think, at least one goody-
goody Apostle of Peace out there who is *too aggressively out to
convert evil* and perhaps a neutral Mystic Theomage of Ioun that might
side with the idea of getting all the help possible. At least if the
PC is NOT attached to Vecna... so an undead player would be, um,
hunted.'

Your (NE) case should be judged by The Players themselves *before* the
action starts.

I would start with the premise that the NE Player was REALLY
doublecrossed by the Villains he or she wants to, um, impale... with a
lot of scars to prove it! An Anti-hero like Elric would give the Quest
interesting turns, to be sure. Wings of Flight (the Cloak) would be a
far more accepable way to stowaway on the Flying Dauntless than a wand
of teleport fuelled by elf-blood. There are limits to this concept,
that overdoing things may result in other player's responces, might
you get mercy from them. I should add having elements of a sympathic
'villain' would be wise, such as having a strong, nasty response to
flying Were-Batrats, and having an escape plan for when it gets over.

An Evil VanHelsing?!

Actually, no.. they would take that out-of-character info and abuse it
in-character...
There will be no way they (the characters) will even be able to tell -
but doing a "pile on the evil guy!" seems a pointless to the campaign.
Nes' Pa?

So, give five concepts up for discussions (& a sixth to play) to test
the waters, and have an alternate mail address for play IF you want to
continue. It will be your neck, and hopefully not mine.

However, Shane the tiefling hexblade (N) is going to be
misunderstood, Ahazion the aasimar Ur-priest is going to cause fits,
and Maul the monk veiwed with suspicion. And they are NPC's.

My gut tells me this is a campaign breaker (Nes' Pa?)
But if you can pull it off without even able to tell- keep me in the
dark

[Darren Lee Mitton]

Alright, got it.
