Temple of Xard

Sometimes you want an intricate fantasy setting that encourages roleplaying and characterization – one with lovingly detailed cultures and plots, enabling you to give each hero a past, a family, and a home town. Sometimes you want to use every rule, making the game richer and more realistic . . . . . . and sometimes you just want to play a combat-monster warrior who stomps monsters and takes their stuff! Many – perhaps most – gamers started out playing simple dungeon-crawl RPGs or hack n' slash computer games. Some of us still recall that time fondly, but pretend to have "outgrown" it. But if you love the smell of fireballs in the morning, GURPS Dungeon Fantasy is for you. The Dungeon Fantasy series reduces GURPS to the essential abilities and rules you need to create tough dungeon-delvers, equip them with awesome gear, and defeat monsters and traps to get even more awesome gear. It provides the GM with advice on how to pose challenges and keep things interesting without unbalancing the game or killing all the PCs (unless they deserve it!). And as the series grows, we'll be adding new items that cover advanced characters and situations. So choose a good, strong archetype like "barbarian" or "thief," strap on your Accurate Orichalcum Broadsword of Smiting, stuff your potion belt with Great Healing Potions, and get with the program!

Character creation will be using the GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Rules and using the templates and lens provided only.

Well be using the GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Boxset but I am happy to use the series of pdfs for extra content. (I have pdfs 1 - 15) Source Books being used; GURPS Basic Characters, GURPS Basics Campaigns, GURPS Dungeon Fantasy Boxset, GURPS Dungeon Fantasy PDF's 1 - 15, GURPS Magic and GURPS Martial Arts.

Character Point Buy: 250 points, -75 Disadvantages, 5 points Perks, -5 points Quirks. In addition I will allow players an extra 20 points to buy a racial template, those players choosing to be human will gain an extra 20 points spend on stats, advantages and skills.

List of expectable races; Dwarves, Elves (Half-Elf, High Elf, Mountain Elf, Sea Elf and Wood Elves), Nymphs, Gnomes, Half-Orcs, Halflings and Human. If anyone wants to play another race run it by me first and I'll think about it but I feel there is enough options for everyone to choose from.

Experience will be awarded either weekly or monthly depending on post rate, though I may change this to milestone - we'll see how it goes.

There will be plenty of room for Role-play as it suits the PBMB format..

We presently have a full party, any further applications will be put in as first reserves in case anyone drops out.
