[Greyfeld]

The sun sinks lower in the sky and eventually vanishes; not below the horizon, but behind the monolith that looms over the city of Meskia. A tower that's stood for centuries, or perhaps millenia, stretches up toward the emerging stars of twilight. Meskia is a city with little to its name. It has no major exports, isn't rich in raw materials, and doesn't sit along the coast or any major trade routes. But it has the tower. The Tower of Uruk, a massive memorial to a bygone age of ancient magic time long forgot.

Welcome, ladies and gentlemen. My name is Greyfeld, and I'll be your games master. This is my first genuine foray into GMing, so I have a couple others who will be helping me out when they have the time and inclination.

This game is going to be 2 parts dungeon crawl, 1 part survival, 1 part roleplay. You'll need to be prepared for any tricks, traps, hazards, monsters, or social situations that may be thrown your way. Characters should be of at least average intellect with some non-combat utility so as not to be a burden to the rest of the group.

Also, please avoid creating characters that break the game. As I said, this is really my first time GMing, so please be gentle!

I can post at least once a day, and will attempt to maintain the same post rate when I start work next month. Players who are interested in the game should be able to post at least 3-4 times a week (preferably more during combat encounters, so we can speed things along).

All applications should go in this forum. Make a new thread for your application, and roll your character's stats somewhere in your thread. Once you're comfortable with your character, feel free to duck into the Cloak & Stagger for some ale and a little pre-game roleplay.

PHB I/II, Unearthed Arcana, Completes, Races of.., Tome of Battle, Spell Compendium, Magic Item Compendium

If you want something beyond these books, I'm happy to say yes or no on a case-by-case basis. But you'll need to either give me a link to the feature you're looking at, or give me the book and page number, as well as how it fits into your character's build. I'm unlikely to allow Dragon Mag stuff, unless you can link me directly to what it is you want to use.

-This game is a pseudo-magipunk setting, where magic and technology work side by side. As such, Knowledge (Engineering) and Craft (Engineering) are added to the list of available skills. The former is available to all classes as a class skill, while the latter is only available to those who already have Craft as a class skill.

Meskia is a near-metropolis, thriving on the adventure trade that's bloomed over the years as more and more people have tried their hand at climbing the Tower of Uruk. The setting is pseudo-magipunk, with Meskia serving as the center of the relatively recent technological revolution. Small groups of goblin craftsmen lead this push of technology, opposed by a tightly knit group of mages from the community. But the leaders of both sides truly lead the charge; Piloc, the governer's lead technical consultant, and Raenis, his magical advisor. Hostilities grow between the two factions on a daily basis.

The city itself isn't fully fleshed out, so you're free to take creative liberty while creating your character.

One last note, your characters will be starting naked. You'll get your starting gear listed on your character sheet eventually, but don't expect to use any of it right off the bat.
