I decided to post this over here from the 'Tumbleweeds again?' thread before it got moved

This Adventure will require Players who are Creative Writers and Role Players

From the 'Tumbleweeds again?' thread: Started jotting down some ideas on Friday night for another adventure while watching the World Series.

Then last night I got further inspired and spent a few hours typing a Recruitment Thread for an adventure set in Audalis using the Castles & Crusade seige engine system.

I am almost done tweaking the Recruitment Thread, but I am going to spend some quality time creating the Prelude before posting the Recruitment Thread to see what interest there is from the InnMates who enjoy adventuring in Audalis.

I will Not be running a Character in this New Audalis Adventure (like I have done with my past games and current game here at the Inn) since I have plenty of Characters to play in other games presently and in the near future!

Players will be asked to develop their Character Concepts for Level One (1) Characters who will all level up at the end of each episode over the course of this adventure.

I suggest that anyone interested in joining a new game in the Audalis setting take time to get familiar with the People, Maps and Deities listed in the Audalis tab at the top of the RDInn Page between the Home and Articles tabs.

Then begin developing a Character History with Personality and Description (Characters will be created from the Audalis Races) paying particular attention to the details of what the Deity allows for a worshipper to use regarding Weapons etc.

Character Alignments will be Lawful Good, Neutral Good or Chaotic Good.

I haven't played sieges before but I've taken levels in writer and roleplayer...count me interested.

..... on the progress of this adventure and when I am ready to launch it I will probably post a Prelude Intro in the Game Thread as well as posting the Recruitment Thread.

Hey ya Hammer, I'm interested... please keep me in mind.
-SO

Just start researching Audalis (the maps and people and religion sections) and start working on the type of character you would enjoy playing in this Audalis adventure.

This adventure will begin in the town of Quevin in Coria before beginning a journey east into the Northern Sylvari Kingdom.

I already have the Recruitment post typed up and ready to post, but I am developing and writing the Prelude or Opening of the Game to post when I post the recruitment (may take 2 or 3 weeks).

Any other interested players should get yourselves familiar with the info in the Audalis tab at the top left of the RDInn page!

There is a minimum of 3-5 Players so if you are interested it may be wise to speak up here before I post the Recruitment and Game info!

Think of it as placing a Reservation!

Just a quick Update on the state of the development of this game:

Shining Orb is currently developing his character while I am working on the Opening of the Adventure.

Recruitment Thread has been written, but I will not be posting it until I get the Intro written for the Game Thread.

Probably be posting it after Thanksgiving!

Hi Hammer, (and all!) I'm happy to say I'm that I now have another baby girl, born almost two weeks ago. Her name is Kaylie, I wanted Nimue (Merlins love interest) but the Mrs veto'd it. She said I should use the name for one of my characters. Needless to say, its been busy around my house, but I'm still lurking when ever you think we have enough to get started.

...just noticed the content of Shining Orb's post and wanted to pop in and say "Welcome to the world, li'l Kaylie" and "Congratulations to Daddy and Mommy!"

..... You and Your Wife!

May be a while!

Depending on the frequency of the posts I might be able to slip into another game...I will use my one day off of homework to post in all my games from now on. I will (as a rule) try to post on tuesdays for all my games, since that's the night Tiamat's game is on, so I don't get enough time to do a full lesson on those nights. Please let me know what information you'd like me to throw together, and roughly when you anticipate the game to start.

Thanks,

..... the Opening Post for the Audalis Adventure (had to take a break for a while since I am working on a concept for the town government where you will begin!

The Recruitment has been written, but I want to have the Opening Post in place for the Game Thread before official Recruiting begins!

Flirty and anyone else is welcome to join this adventure when I get it posted (Shining Orb is already working on his character concept for this one!)
As Noted in the First Post Players will be asked to develop their Character Concepts for Level One (1) Characters who will all level up at the end of each episode over the course of this adventure.

I suggest that anyone interested in joining a new game in the Audalis setting take time to get familiar with the People, Maps and Deities listed in the Audalis tab at the top of the RDInn Page between the Home and Articles tabs.

Then begin developing a Character History with Personality and Description (Characters will be created from the Audalis Races) paying particular attention to the details of what the Deity allows for a worshipper to use regarding Weapons etc.

Character Alignments will be Lawful Good, Neutral Good or Chaotic Good.

Additional Info from the Recruitment Thread to be Posted (Hopefully around Christmas Holidays!)

'Once in a Lifetime'
(an Audalis Adventure)
Synopsis Featuring the RDInn created setting of Audalis, using the Castles & Crusades seige engine of Primary and Secondary Attributes, I am looking for a minimum of three to five (3-5) Level One (1) adventurers to participate in an Epic Audalis Adventure Campaign.

Each episode of this adventure will lead to the development and growth of each character through role play, hack n slash and dungeon crawl experiences. Upon completion of each progressing episode, all PC characters in this party will level up, before proceeding on to the next episode of this adventure.

Rules As stated previously, Castles & Crusades is the game system being used for this adventure. This is quite similar to D&D and is published under the Open Game License (OGL) version 1.0a by permission of Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

The Open Game Content appearing in the 4th printing C&C PHB (2009) is derived from the 3.0 System Reference Document, copyright 2000 Wizards of the Coast, Inc. All contents, excluding the OGL, is property of and copyright 2004 Troll Lord Games. All Rights Reserved.

The Trolls have given me permission to freely use their game products here at the Inn.

Players participating in this adventure should concentrate on developing their characters with personality, description and interesting history. It is more important to focus upon your writing and role play than to fully understand the mechanics of the game system.

Starting Level Level One (1) is the starting level for all characters and they are Not Veteran Fighters and they are Not Experienced Wizards, Illusionists, Clerics or Druids!

These are Basic Raw Recruits who have been studying and training under a variety of situations and tutors to help them prepare for whatever paths their lives choose to explore.

The first episode of this adventure will be a 'test of fire' so to speak as each character is confronted by challenges that force him or her to utilize their knowledge and training for the very first time!

Classes Classes are chosen from the C&C Players Hand Book (2009). Upon reaching Class Level 3 or higher a player may choose to expand the horizons of their character by adding another Class to begin at level 1 after the next episode of the adventure is completed.

Players choosing this option are required to write a plausible explanation in their game post for choosing to multi-class their character. This may be done only once.

When future episodes are completed, the player must choose which of the two Classes to level up and are required to write a plausible explanation and description in their game post.

Races Players pick the Race of their characters strictly from the list of Audalis races. However, where applicable, the Castle Keeper may allow certain elements from the C&C PHB regarding Humans, Dwarves, Elves, Half Elves, Gnomes and Halflings to be integrated with their Audalis counterparts.

Primary Attributes
Strength: Fighter, Ranger

Dexterity: Rogue, Assassin

Constitution: Barbarian, Monk

Intelligence: Wizard, Illusionist

Wisdom: Cleric, Druid

Charisma: Knight, Paladin, Bard

Players then assign one more Primary Attribute to their Character (2 if a Human Character)

Attribute Modifiers for this particular adventure 2-3 (-4)
4-5 (-3)
6-7 (-2)
8-9 (-1)
10-11 (0)
12-13 (+1)
14-15 (+2)
16-17 (+3)
18-19 (+4)

Attribute Modifiers are either added or subtracted depending upon the numbers assigned to Attributes (and modified by Racial Traits)

Starting Stats Starting Stats for Character Creation is 80 points to be distributed among the 6 Attributes of Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom and Charisma.

Race Modifiers will be added or subtracted accordingly after the initial 80 points are assigned to the Character Attributes.

Hit Points The Maximum number of Hit Points for a particular Class will be allowed for each Level 1 Character.

Each time a Character levels up he or she will receive the maximum number of Hit Points added to his or her previous total.

In the event a Player chooses to add a Class, then the maximum number of Hit Points for that Class will be added to the previous total of Hit Points (no matter if they are higher, lower or the same as the original Class choice).

Multi-Class Characters will receive the maximum number of Hit Points (to add to the previous total number of Hit Points) for the Class the Player chooses to level up after future episodes are completed.

Alignment Characters are either Lawful Good, Neutral Good or Chaotic Good.

Deity Characters serve a deity from the list of Audalis deities, keeping in mind it must be a deity that a Good Aligned Character would serve!

There are both Benefits and Restrictions in regards to weapons etc that serving a deity imposes upon the Character.

It would be wise to read the Audalis deity list first before choosing a Class and Race for your Character!

Deity choice will have a direct impact and influence upon the role play, personality, description and history of your Character!

Equipment and Starting Gold Characters are allowed a reasonable amount of equipment (including Weapons and Armor) that Any Ordinary Normal Inexperienced First level Character would have to begin an adventure.

All equipment lists are subject to the approval of the Castle Keeper!

Characters will also begin their journey with 20gp in their possession to help them buy provisions and lodging in the next town along their journey.

Gold (gp), Silver (sp) and Copper (cp) 10gp = 1 Platinum piece (pp)
10sp = 1 Gold piece (gp)
10cp = 1 Silver piece (sp)

Coins exchange at the above rate and all coins equate to about one ounce in weight.

First yay to babies! Congrats Orb on the new addition, and I like the name, kind of a Firefly reference

Ohh... and yay for World Series inspired games. Go Cards!



Well have a great game guys, looks like fun, wish I could join in but I know I'll just flake out right now.

It will be a while before this gets up and running so if you have an opening for a game at the Inn then you are more than welcome!

recently noticed that my games have been reduced to ~2...

I'll be keeping an eye on this at the very least
(lurking is fun, aha)

EDIT: and congratz on the addition Shining Orb!
