Re-Recruit : Hard Times
Hard Times - Forum Dungeons & Dragons 3.5e Ad Closes: Mar 1 '10 Estimated Members Requested: 2Re-Opening this for two new spaces. The party is just completing their first day in the campaign and are one encounter deep. The game is focused on roleplay with combat mingled in there.
While there are two spots, one is defined as a Cleric who has amnesia. They cannot remember their past, and as such, walk a divine path, divining the world around them, hoping to find what their life once was (sex of the character is not pre-determined, and can be changed to follow whichever deity etc.)
The other slot has been requested to be filled (by those playing) by a more combat oriented class.
as of now we have a bard, a wizard, and a wizard who is training in the Armored Mage class.
Please read through what you can of the posts to see if you're comfortable with the style of play and how the story has progressed NOTE: how the story has progressed is key. The initial information only says so much. I as a DM accept feedback from the players as this started my DM'ing here at myth-weavers and I am looking to create a fun and stable environment that we can all enjoy playing in.
Posting is once per weekday really (I'm not available on the weekends too much) and I respond mostly during the day (8am EST and 5pm EST).
please feel free to post questions and inquiries.
Game Description:
Update: A little more about the lands you will be traveling and the classes that inhabit them. The land overall, is known as Naiscene. It's capital, Fafrhd is located in an extremely protected bay mostly natural in the middle of the southern convex curve of the continent. Here you will find all manners of races and people, from practitioners of the mystic arts, great military leaders, and influential traders. The shipping trade in the last few decades has really expanded, linking many of the smaller lands, lovingly called the islands, and creating much wealth from their goods and minerals. The islands dot the perimeter of Naiscene and there are roughly 75 in all, each large enough to have relatively large geographic zones, from forests to deserts to barren wastes and Tundra. Most islands have at least some inhabitants making a living with trade to some of the larger islands having capitals that come close to rivaling Fafrhd. Only in recent years have the weak and new merchants bet their livelihood on lands beyond The Islands and some have proven successful, though little is known about the lands beyond the Great Fog. Little is known about this phenomenon other than it's deterrence for trans-ocean exploration. In the Great Desert is the sands found on the western side of Naiscene. While there are sands and desert on the tip of Naiscene's eastern tip, dipping south into the ocean, the Western side is quite different. Several centuries ago, before Fafhrd was even founded, the people of Naiscene decided to tame the rivers and lakes of the land, and what had once been areas of plains and forests on the western coast, turned to desert as they were robbed of the blood of life. The rivers were diverted without thought to the consequence. The relatively successful farming in the center of the land flourished and with it, a healthy population boom.The Great Desert was formed and became a refuge for convicts, gypsys and outcasts from society. Lastly the great ores were found, deep beneath the river beds which had once been filled, mining began to take the precious metals of the land. With mining and exotic ores came teams of researchers, then alchemists, then those whom practiced the arts. Wizards banded together in research efforts, and finally, with little notice from those removed from the desert, a great tower was erected with the force of magic. A university sprung from the sands in the middle of the Great Desert, it's height giving it views all the way to what is now Fafhrd, and far out over the ocean to The Fog. The northern crust of Naiscene is a mountainous region, with coastal regions on the northern most area, surrounded by cliffs, some towns do exist, oftern inhabited by hardy sea faring fisherman. Dwarves are said to have mined deep within the mountain, so little has contact been of late, that scholars can barely fathom what might have happened to them. Those dwarves whom have mingled into society above the deep tunnels have thus far not given much thought to the silence and have not made any effort to get back. Several large forests claim the land, the largest being on the edge of the Great Desert, where the Elves successfully saved the land from devastation by use of their magics and own great knowledge of rivers and ponds. Their fair city lies deep in the middle of the forest, the peak of their tower barely visable from the lands and plains surrounding the forest. The north-eastern portions of the land are a barren and frozen waste, often the homes of shaman and wild barbarians, only the hardiest of individuals live here.
