Our Sunday night group "Fall of the fourteenth Kingdom" is looking for a reliable player for Sunday nights. We play Sunday nights from 9-1 pm EST. Generally we don't start until 9:30 but the group starts to gather around 9 pm and once in a while we do start at 9 pm. It is a predominately core game with the DM open to non core material. I am not the DM...but the DM is very good. The game tends to be very balanced. Basically the DM decides what is broken and what is not broken and allows reasonable things. An example would be the orb spells. They were originally introduced in Tome and Blood as evocation spells and then the designers kind of killed the whole concept of spell resistance by moving them into the conjuration school and bypassing spell resistance (basically overpowering conjuration and marginalizing evocation). So the DM makes rulings that are very balanced in my opinion. We have 4 very consistent players and struggle a bit with the 5th and 6th players. It does seem however that the 5th player is becoming fairly consistent. The current group consistent of a lizardman Dragon Shaman (Slassz), a human warrior cleric/warblade (Tetsu..currently an NPC), an elf wizard, (Cyst), Phyi -an elf sorceress that is starting down the path of dragonheart mage, a drow swashbuckler (Keen), Viktor a traditional cleric, and another NPC "Path..Nagan Archer"..that is NPC'd because he stopped appearing. The group has a typical level of optmization....not a lot. The dragon shaman is a very flavorful role played character that doesn't overwhelm the group. The elf sorceress is not optimized at all, tends to be a blaster. Cyst the wizard is an evoker but playing more of a generalist with some buffing, some battlefield control, some blasting. I m playing cyst and am happy to cast Haste, enlarge person, invisibility, polymorph, fly, on other party members...whatever works. The party is mostly 7th level with one 8th level character. The world is homebrew. There is a pdf file that I can email to interested parties. The NPC right now Path is playing the role of skillmonkey with disabling locks, finding traps etc. That character will be leaving when we finish cracking open this ruin we are investigating. I would say that we could use a "sneaky" type character to take advantage of some of the BC spells....or another solid tank. But actually it wouldn't matter..with a sorceress, and wizard, and and a fulltime cleric...we don't really need another wizard or cleric i would suggest.
Above all we need a consistent player. We need a mature player who can tell you a week in advance that they won't be available so everyone doesn't wait in the openrpg lobby for someone who never shows. We need a player who takes the time to send you an email that they won't be available on a given Sunday night. It is ok if you are new to openrpg....you can pick that up quickly. The game is chat only...no voice over IP. Personally I would prefer a player with some 3.5 experience. Ark the DM has a lot of 2nd edition, 3.0, and 3.5 experience. Slaasz (DW) DM's on Saturday and monday night..both Ark and Slassz are very solid in game mechanics. But I think we would welcome a somewhat new player....in that case I would suggest you focus on a fairly straight forward non spell casting class from the player's handbook (barbarian, thief, ranger, fighter etc.).. If you are interested...send me an email at tomm (at) 4taconic (dot) com. But please don't respond if you can't imagine yourself playing 1-2 years with a high level of committment.

Your poorly formatted and hard to read post aside, email inc.

I wrote an email, hope you write back

Hello......I'm the DM for this game, T13K: Fall of the 14th Kingdom. Cyst/tomm was kind enough to post for me, while my family and I were busy packing/moving over the past week and a half.

Here's tomm's post, broken up for better readability and with my edits/comments added....

"Our Sunday night group "Fall of the fourteenth Kingdom" is looking for a reliable player for Sunday nights. We play Sunday nights from 9-1 pm EST. Generally we don't start until 9:30 but the group starts to gather around 9 pm and once in a while we do start at 9 pm. (OpenRPG Dev II server. 6 or 6:30 pm Pacific, until 9 or 10 pm Pacific)

It is a predominately core game with the DM open to non core material (most official 3.0 and 3.5 material accepted, but only on a piecemeal basis; if ya want a certain feat/spell/item/class or other option from a book, be specific about your request; Spell Compendium, Magic Item Compendium, Magic of Incarnum, Tome of Magic, Rules Compendium, Book of Vile Darkness, Book of Exalted Deeds, and one or two other books are flat-out disallowed in my game, but if there's a copy of your desired item/spell/feat/class in another book, I might allow that version's use).

So the DM makes rulings that are very balanced in my opinion.

We have 4 very consistent players and struggle a bit with the 5th and 6th players. It does seem however that the 5th player is becoming fairly consistent. The current group consistent of a lizardman Dragon Shaman (Slassz), a human warrior cleric/warblade (Tetsu..currently an NPC) (actually, cleric/crusader/Ruby Knight Vindicator, Slassz's secondary PC from before we had any other healers), an elf wizard, (Cyst) (now also an evocation Master Specialist), Phyi -an elf sorceress that is starting down the path of dragonheart mage, a drow swashbuckler (Keen) (for reference, though, dark elves aren't called drow in the campaign setting we use), Viktor a traditional cleric, and another NPC "Path..Nagan Archer"(nagan scout; nagans are a minor race of snake-people from the setting we use, The 13 Kingdoms)..that is NPC'd because he stopped appearing (due to be removed from the group soon, at the first opportunity that would make sense in-character).

The group has a typical level of optmization....not a lot. The dragon shaman is a very flavorful role played character that doesn't overwhelm the group (only one left from the original 2-man party, fairly optimized for high AC and HP and good but not great melee strength). The elf sorceress is not optimized at all, tends to be a blaster (poor defense, some utility, better blasting). Cyst the wizard is an evoker but playing more of a generalist with some buffing, some battlefield control, some blasting. I m playing cyst and am happy to cast Haste, enlarge person, invisibility, polymorph, fly, on other party members...whatever works. The party is mostly 7th level with one 8th level character (Slassz has been around longest and has a slight edge in ECL now due to his race; lizardmen in T13K have a +1 ECL but no racial HD and weaker racial traits than core-rules lizardmen).

The game is chat only...no voice over IP. (I don't mind helping newbies figure out OpenRPG or D&D 3.x. Me and Slassz don't have the microphones or software for voice-chat, so we just use the default text-chat of OpenRPG)

(campaign is roughly 1 year old or so, will continue on to 20th-level or low-epic levels over the next 1-2 years or so if folks stick around for the entire campaign)

I am interested in comitting myself to a long term DnD campaign for awhile now to broaden my experience. Most of my gaming experience thus far using the DnD system have to do with games which are either not planned to last long or are rather disjointed. Fairly new to DnD 3.5 compared to most other players you may find, with barely half a year's experience under my belt and most of it spent not playing it. Please email me at bluechipi@hotmail.com if you are still recruiting and are interested in me as a player.

We have added one player..a tank type barbarian fighter. Please post additional responses here for Arkhandus to review. The obvious need is to replace the nagan scout that plays the skill monkey/sneaky/trap disabler character.

I am a newbie to tabletop playing but would like to play. I also enjoy playing rogues/sneaky types. Any room for one more?

Hello, I have no experience with DnD 3.5 but have been wanting to play for some time and this seems like the perfect opportunity to do so. I am very reliable and would love to join a long term campaign, willing to learn the system and world, and I will play any role you need. If you wouldn't mind having me along, feel free to e-mail me at Xen1110@comcast.net

I sent an email to the address in the first post, but decided to go ahead and post my interest here as well. I was told the group is now full, but would like to be kept in mind if a spot opens up. I like social/skill characters, so would gladly fill that spot if needed.

Thanks

We had another fellow express interest last week in the rogue position, and we discussed his character concept last week, so unless he or the barbarian's player flake out in the next week or two, the group is now full.

If I start up another campaign on OpenRPG sometime soon, though, I'll letcha know. I'm pretty busy this month and next, though, so I'm not sure if I'll have the time for another campaign this year.
