(If you have a better title, please let me know. I'm too tired to think right now).

One of the things we didn't allow in the old forums was outright gathering of interest on specific game themes, and such. I know there were more reasons back when the three GM's started, one of them being we didn't want it taking over the Tavern thread and we really couldn't make many other threads for socializing. Since we have a new forum, I'm going to try a few things out (like we did with the Tavern) and see how they go.

So without further ado I give you a thread where you guys can discuss what you want in a game, and a thread for Dm's to gauge the interest in certain themes, and such.

Alright - I'm not sure whether to start here or with seTiny - but I like the map that Shanizar has been developing, and I'd like to make sure eveyone has something to do.  To that end, I'd like to toss my hat into the DM ring (given seTiny's permission, of course).  IF I do, however, I'd probably want to run through my current campaign.  It's a homebrew mix of original + DDi stuff, done in 4e - toward a particular goal (which WILL be expanded upon to suit the party I end up with) 

I would have a few requirements though:
As the base of the story revolves around a particular occurance, 3 roles will need to be filled: An eladrin, scion to an archfey known as the "Keeper of the Eternal Flame", worshipping Kossuth (yes, that's right, though does NOT have to be divine - the original is a blast Wizard); A dwarven blacksmith (must train athletics and endurance) worshipping Moradin; and a Dragonborn worshipping Bahamut, residing in Sigil. The story begins with the disappearance of the aforementioned archfey, a geas on the blacksmith, and some odd dreams for the latter 2.
I would want ideally 5 characters (to place the published mods without modification), the other 2 will, as stated, be given equally entangled roles.
I would want to keep it to players that have no other games to play (so more are playing, rather than some playing more)
What else... open rolling for all (posted), appropriate threads in the games forums.

I think that's about it - would anyone even be interested, or are the requirements too strict? (and again, this is all predicated on interest and seTiny's permission)

that's 1 down - 4 to go   Out of curiousity, the "parts" needed have few limitation (race, god, 1 has skills) - too restrictive? or personal taste? (trying to get a feel for whether I should drop the notion)

The requirements do seem a bit restrictive. I'd be willing to go with the flow, but I don't know about everyone else. You might work on a way to make the characters a bit more flexible. But either way, I'm game.

I was planning on it not being difficult, actually.  However, I am very new here (got here right before the rolll over - talk about timing), so I didn't think it proper to assume trust on anyone's part.
