I was looking through some of my things, the other day, and found a notebook filled with notes for a campaign I was working on a few months ago that, for various reasons, never even began. I thought that it would be a shame to let all that work go to waste, so I decided to try running a game here.
It takes place in kind of a homebrew setting that I had made for the game. It's not entirely complete, and parts of the world are still bare, but I feel that that won't be important unless that's where the players wish to go. The opening scenario and surrounding area are pretty fleshed out, so, I can extrapolate from there.
As for the type of game, I wouldn't call it a sandbox exactly, as there is an opening scenario and a few extra quests in said scenario that can be stumbled upon, but I'm more than happy to mold the campaign world to allow for things in a character's background, and using those in the campaign. The players are free to do whatever they wish in said world, so, I don't know, maybe it is a sandbox. This is the first game I'm running, so, bear with me.
I plan to post information about the starting scenario and things along those lines, but I'd like to talk about house rules and character creation first, in that order.
With all that out of the way, the only thing left to talk about is the setting. Again, players are welcome to create their own mark upon the world.
Okay, that's it for now. I ask that you have backgrounds, but they don't need to be impossibly large works of fiction. All I ask is that your character has some reason for being in Valarinth, because that's where the opening scenario is taking place. If you wish to entwine your backgrounds, that's perfectly alright.
Any questions should be posted here for now. I'll be choosing applicants on Tuesday, November 17th. Having a character sheet done by then will greatly help your chances.
Any questions or comments, either post here or PM me.
I actually have a couple of questions, #1 is traits/flaws yes or no? #2 is Abberant feats from lords of madness yes/no?
I have a scout put together that uses abberant feats to gain a fly speed and qualify for flyby attack as a focused archer
btw the notation for your rolling scheme is 6m4d6v1r1
Er, sorry, I guess I left that out. I would prefer if there were no evil characters in the party. As far as class and race, however, the only limitations are the ones above.

No traits/flaws, Aberrant feats seem fine, but there should be an interesting reason why you have them, and thanks for the notation.
