Hello all,

I was browsing for good role players and was recomended to this
board.

I am about to kick off a game and I have a new idea for a mid to high
level camapign that will roam several worlds and a couple of planes.
The idea is a pair of parties. Each character sets up a semi to fully
retired adventurer to act as a sponsor with LEADERSHIP. These semi to
fully retired PCs are all old adventuring palls and have set up shop
and have basically created a small community which is growing but is
threatened.

This would be the background adventure and these PCs could be used in
short one offs as desired and a source of information, assistance
etc. for the main party.   Not the main party per say but jumping in
sometimes when assistance is needed or a place to go when the party
needs support as high level PCs and cohorts never exist in a vacuum.
They did something to get there.

The main party would be their cohorts. AKA the PCs of this game. All
would know each other fairly well as it was not too large of a
community. They have ties to each other because of the friendship of
their patrons. But this is the first time adventuring together.

I was thinking of the cohorts being between 12th and 15th level and
their sponsors being of an appropriate level to have cohorts of that
level.

As to details.  Well they are not there completely yet.  I have the
campaign world set up and have run it in both table top and PBEM
formats over the last 15 years but wanted to get a half a dozen
interested PCs together and then kick things around to see what you
guys have for personality and how we want to kick things off and then
tie it into the campaign world.  Like I said characters of this level
don't exist in a vacuum and I was never a fan of... we met in a bar
and decided to go.  The PCs will contribute in kickoff and lots of
other things.

As to game mechanics.  All is allowed.  Forgotten Realms is one of the
worlds.  As is Hollow World from the old 1st Edition.  As is the world
of Warhammer but jumped into D&D.  And one Homebrew world.  And of
course a couple of strange planes (not telling) thrown in to make it
all the more interesting.

Rule set will be 3.5 core.  But of course there may be some creative
license involved as well :-P

As to race and class.  Still in progress really depends on the group.
I had wanted to put them all together before we nail that detail down.
 I will probably run it a little less magic rich than some DMs.  So I
will keep you in the loop as I round up the team.

If this sounds interesting then drop me a line.

Toodles and good gaming.

Steve
