Campaign Ideas!

[Drawmack]

hmmm, maybe training needs to be worked into the campaign. I've got an idea - maybe we are all students and so after each quest we receive some training. This way at level 1 we can put some ranks into trained skills.

could be done, could be done, but that would mean the childeren have soemone else to turn to, making adventuring pretty difficcult.

Therfor I like the ruined city setting. Hmm, maybe a bit more survivors, who have chosen to train the children, as they themselves are old.

 

[Drawmack]

like the old ninja master type thing.
Player: But master do you not take care of the orcs yourself.
Master: I am far to old and frail for such tasks.

So he sends the kids that he is training.

yeah, something like that:

Setting: ruined City, only very few survivors (a couple of kids and a couple of ols men.
Rules: humans only, 10 point buy, advancement will go with stats and skill points given to you by the DM, no classes available at start up (will be chosen in-game)

I am in, a couple questions

1) would you like a background?

2) would you like us to tell you the class we would like to take eventually?

Nope no background needed, you'll make your own, since your only 8 years old. The class you eventually take is decided through roleplaying.

Sort of a backtrack, but if anyone starts a game of rogues, I bid first on playing the cheeky gambler

I STILL am so seriously tempted to startup a game of epic proportion 30th level worth of XP and goods and seeing what people come up with using Creamsteak's rules as they work out rather well...

What rules?

Re: Re: Re: Campaign Ideas!

I would like to play it as a PbP. The biggest obstacles are indeed the rles, we'll meet the problems you've described and much more.

You don't have to make a character up, because you all start the same (only different stats) and probarly all human.
Maybe I could start it up if there are enough players, and work out the rules then.

D20 Modern has rules for Child Characters. They have the normal point-buy of their position (Hero or Ordanairy), but they suffer negative ability score penalties till they are able to take a class.

Str -3, Dex -1, Con -3, Int -1, Wis -3, Cha -1

And when they gain their first class level, all of these negative modifiers are removed. I'd say, start with size=small for children under 13, and D20 modern states that each character has a d4 hd till they gain a class, minimum HP is automatically 1.

I hope that helps.
