Introduction
On the next few posts from me you will find Races and Classes description. People who are interested in playing will need to pick a race and class, and then PM me their character's name, race and class, as well as a basic idea of personallity and where they came from.
Once that's in, I'll start with the campaign background. Last edited by WVUFAN : 05-04-2009 at 05:26 PM. |

I'm still potentially interested but since I'm on work travel, couldn't get to a bookstore until I get back to civilization, no earlier than May 9th (since I don't have the books for it).
I've never done this before, though. /tk

You don't need the books. The game is more strategy, which makes it easier to teach someone without the books. Besides, there's gonna be a greater focus on role-playing in this game. By the way, feel free to post on this board, even if you're not gonna play. I'm always happy to hear feedback, suggestions or comments. If you have any questions, feel free to post them as well. 2 players in, looking for 3 more.

I'm definitely interested in playing. I have a 4th edition player's handbook already. A lot of the races and even some of the classes that I've seen in the race descriptions aren't familiar to me though, so I'll have to do some guesswork.

I'm an old die-hard 1e guy, but I'd play out of curiosity. so if you need another player just let me know.

I would have an interest as well, however, if it's five of five slots, I understand.

So far we have a Swordmage and a Druid. Waiting for info from the other people.

I'm going to be playing a warlock. I was thinking of doing a melee-oriented character but if we already have a swordmage that might be too much duplication.

dola ...
Peregrine just reminded me of a new Pact that Warlocks have in the new Arcana Power book. I'll update the Warlocks listing to discuss this new pact (it's called the Vestige Pact) Also, terpkristin is gonna sit this one out and just lurk, due to travel issues, so we have an opening for a 5th player. PM me if you're interested, or post here.

a deva avenger seems interesting, given that we have two magic users already

that being said a tiefling warlock would interesting as well, but with a swordmage and a druid, I'd lean towards being something of a warrior

A deva is an interesting race, since they never really "die" persay, but are reincarnated as another deva with limited memories of past lives.
If they've been bad, they're reincarnated as a "rakshasha", a pretty nasty bad guy. Avengers are without a doubt the coolest of the new classes that just came out in the Players Handbook 2 (druids are a close second, since they have the ability to polymorph)

Well it looks like Sgran asked before I did, but should he not respond or decline...I'd be apt to play a deva avenger...still determining more than that...

I liked the look of the avenger class that you posted, but since I don't have the PH2 I figured I'd go with something I had the full details on.

I have a subscription to the Compendium, so I can send you full stats on both the deva and the avenger, if you want, including Powers lists. It's a simple cut and paste. Same goes for anyone. If you want more details on any race or class, including what bonuses they have, just PM me and I can send you complete full descriptions. They're just too big to post here.

I'll beef up the group to 6 players, Quikshot. If you want in, you're in, and it'll still leave a slot open for someone else.

Poli and NTNDeacon:
If both of you are willing to stick around, inevitably a player or two will have real life stick them or realize the game isn't for them and drop out.

Actually since we've interested players, I'll fall out. Summer's going to be busier than I first thought.
