D&D 4th Edition: A test adventure
 
So basically I'm up for running that quick adventure in the back of the DMG as a sort of test to see how it feels. You know get a feel for what works for me and what doesn't, especially over a forum. The adventure was designed to highlight a good deal of the features so it should be a decent indicator of what to stay away from when planning things for the future. Its also level 1 and relatively short so it shouldn't take very long.

Couple of things:
1) I'll be rolling all initiative checks at the beginning of combat to keep things moving as much as possible.
2) I'll be giving out all the defenses and pertinent DCs and vital statistics of enemies at the beginning of combat.
3) "Gamespeak" that is roll results and such get separated and placed at the end of any posts. The main body of the posts should be all roleplaying the results of those rolls.
4) I'm going to trust you guys to use your own random number generators to role don't abuse it.
5) Anyone that takes more than a day from the previous post to act in combat is considered to be holding his/her action and the next person in the initiative order can go.

Now for an example of what I want concerning rule 3. It should look something like this:

Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here. Rp stuff goes here.
-----------------------------------------
Roll results go here. Saving throws, attack, damage, ect it all goes down here. Separated from the main rp stuff by some sort of line like the one above.


We'll be starting in the town of Fallcrest as a level one party. It's best if you are somehow from around Fallcrest and if you know at least one other person in the adventuring party. The party should have already at least met in the past if they aren't best buds. You'll probably all be in the Nentir in at the start and I'll throw out some hooks and a few maps latter. Probably a few blurbs about the most prominent NPCs and some setting stuff when I get more time. Have at it but remember to plan with each other to cover as many roles as possible. I'm looking for four decent characters, with me being the fifth, but I am not opposed to stepping out if 5 good PCs turn up.

I'd be up for it (I've got enough free time and nothing to do), but I suppose you'd probably give preference to people who have actually played the game before?

Sithdarth 08-05-2008 10:15 AM
Well seeing as basically no one around here has really played 4th edition a lot yet, and the big differences between it and 3.5, I'm basically up for anyone as long as you can get a decent character together.

Truce 08-05-2008 12:30 PM
Ah, Sithdarth. You still have that notepad version of the Character sheet you made?

Yes I do and I knew I was forgetting something in the initial post. I'll attach it to this one instead. I'd suggest going with the point buy system for stat generation with a small personal change. All stats start at a base of 10 instead of one starting at 8. You still get the full 22 point buy so have fun with that.

Ok, my computer isn't letting me upload the notepad file, so hopefully this isn't too bad.

Personality Traits

Ariosto has never been one for leadership, but he is rather fond of management.  Whether in business, study, or the arcane, he prefers if everything was

properly in order and running smoothly.  He can rarely be bothered to think ahead, relying on his understanding of what is needed for the present.
=================================================================================================

=================================================================================================
Mannerisms And Appearance

Medium build, none-too-flashy attire, Ari tries to be as accomodating looking as possible.  The soft features of his elven father are subtly roughened by his

human heritage, and he usually keeps his dirty blonde hair neatly combed unless he wishes to hide his tapered ears behind a veil of unkempt hair. 
=================================================================================================

=================================================================================================
Character Background

Ariosto's life has always been one of finding and maintaining a precarious but needed balance.  As a child, Ari grew up to parents only staying together

because of him, a sinister undercurrent of unhappiness and thoughts of squandered future contributing to many passive-agressive snipings.  The child would

not settle for such an environment however and began to gently coax his mother and father into realizing what they originally fell in love with, eventually

culminating in a renewal of vows attended by both sides of the family.
Of course, parental happiness might not have been the most desired outcome.  With all four of his grandparents on speaking terms, the topic of Ariosto's

higher education was now a more communal affair, and universities previously out of financial reach became more feasible.  When he announced his decision to

pursue the art of arcane warlocking there were murmurs of unease, but Ari was very much at ease with explaining and persuading others to join in his views.
For Ariosto, his decision to delve into the primordial forces of the world had less to do with the promises of bloodied sigils and cowering foes and more

with the inherent balancing act the practice required.  The power of the ancient spirits is magnificent, but worthless if one is not properly ready to

maintain the proper mindset.

Session and Campaign Notes
=================================================================================================
I ripped the basics from my Stradia character because I'm creatively bankrupt, and because warlock seemed like the closest thing to 'magically sneaky' I was going to get. Hopefully I didn't screw anything up, I cheated and used an auto-calculating sheet creator but I'm willing to bet I messed up somewhere along the creation process.

Axl 08-06-2008 12:49 AM
I'd be willing to go. I already have sheet ready for another campaign that's starting next month.

All the numbers are here and set to go. I just have to slam in a Name and Background. I was putting it off because I had a month.

Edit: Info slammed in.

Personality Traits
=================================================================================================
Marcó tends to look out for number one. He always thinks it is amusing when a passerby
gives him a double-take. He becomes highly feral when shifting, leading to a generally
reserved personality in an attempt for control. Reportedly very amiable with other shifters
and his one friend.
=================================================================================================
Mannerisms And Appearance
=================================================================================================
Lithe build, hairier and darker than most of the townspeople. Cuts his dark brown hair
regularly to keep it short but leaves the sideburns, allowing his pointed ears to hit fresh air.
If he hears a funny joke, you can spot two rows of abnormally sharp teeth. Seems shorter
than he really is due a to constant slouching - it's more comfortable. Similarly, prefers
crouching to sitting in a chair. Has been seen hunting with neighboring wolf packs.
=================================================================================================
Character Background
=================================================================================================

Marcó recently began living in Fallcrest three years ago.  For reasons unknown to the
populace, Marcó arrived completely exhausted one night at the inn. He rested for two days, woke
up and promptly payed his bill. Afterwards, he was seen taking up residence near the surrounding
forests, where he spends most of his time, undisturbed.

Currently the only shifter to have lived in Fallcrest for an extended period of time, as such is
generally accepted by the community for not having stirred up trouble. Has never been witnessed
shifting. Does the odd job here and there when the citizens need a guide or have an injured animal;
otherwise Marcó is completely self-sufficient. Became friends with Daravon shortly after arriving
at Fallcrest, but has yet to understand how he can regularly mispronounce "Marcó".

I'll probably pick any class.

Though, to be honest, I haven't really played DnD before.

Id go for it. I dont have the PHB though, so I think it might be better if you just make me a character that would round out the group

h4x.m4g3 08-06-2008 01:03 PM
I'll probably try to join in this game as I'm currently trying to learn the system so I can start dming. Character sheet to come
