One thing I'm looking at is dealing with a few itches that need scratching in 3.5 before 5.0 comes along. It's still a while yet, but given commitments and game speed and a general lack of love for 3.5 these days I doubt I'll see more than a couple of games anyhoo before diving headfirst into 5.0.

So what I was thinking of doing was what we'd done successfully in the past, that is put together a group of characters and then advertise for a DM for the party. It worked very well for the Auction of Shade thread - if you are a DM who is utterly feed up with having different characters and/or players drift in and out of a game the group in that thread is totally unchanged after many years at this point. Meanwhile we've gone through 3 DMs and in slow mode now while Omen finds time, heh. But the group is there pretty much intact.

But the point is say in my case, I've been going over all the various builds and bits and pieces I've done and realized, hey, I've never actually run a pure mage type in 3.5 (I've always tended towards psionics) and would really like to get one off the ground. I figure there's a bunch of builds people haven't had chance to do and would like to, so I'm thinking of at least getting a thread up for people to pop these in on their down time and maybe something will come of it all...

I've got an initial character already sorted in my mind - an illusionist specialist gnome that'll go into pretty much any setting. But I'm probably also going to put up an assassin/warlock type. Once I get to point x in the not very distant future I'll start a thread in the Tavern, if interest is generated I'll ask to have a formal setup thread.

I know how you feel, 3.5 was fun...thats when I fell in love with Eberron.....to bad my group at the time like playing FR....gah... well I'd be interested in playing a 3.5 game, dust off my 3.5 character building skills :P

I would like to run a DnD 4e game based out of Hammerfast.  I will be using the Hammerfast campaign supplement as a starting point, but I have several ideas that will make the adventure original.  I'm thinking of a party around 4-5 players and maybe having the long term campaign being based in the Forgotten Realms universe.  It would be easy enough to have Hammerfast hidden up in the mountains somewhere and then eventually having the game expand further into the Sword Coast.

Anyway, the difference in this campaign would be I'm planning on trippling the experience gained from encounters.  This will help the PbP game progress at a faster rate and should have the characters leveling about every 3-4 encounters rather than every 10.  I think this will keep the game exciting and allow for a lot more progression than a typical PbP game.  So what do you say, anyone interested in something like that?

Consider me interested! I think the XP rate would keep it interesting and like Draidden I'm a fan of dwarves. Also, having a couple of Eberron characters and a Greyhawk character, it's only fair that I try to run a Forgotten Realms character as well .
