Topic: Wheel of Time d20 PbP?

posted 02-14-2005 01:17:15 PM
Before I try to start it up on a Play by Post website (www.dndonlinegames.com, etc), I thought I'd see if there was any interest over here.

I want to start an Play by Post Wheel of Time d20 game. It will follow the adventure outlined in the back of the WoT d20 campaign book and the longer campaign in the Prophecies of the Dragon supplemental book. In such, it'll start out at level 1 and proceed through level 7.

I'd prefer players who have at least a little knowledge of the WoT world. Having the campaign book is nice, but I'll help anyone with the classes/rule changes for WoT d20.

For purposes of the way the campaign is set up, I'm gonna keep it to 4-6 players at the most. Ideally, I'd like people to post at least once or more a day. If you feel like you couldn't stick with this commitment, think hard before applying here.

So, anybody interested?

I'm interested.

I've read to..halfway through book seven I think. So I've got a good amount of knowledge...although I guess there's like 13 books or something ridiculous now.

Actually there are only 10 books out at the moment. The 11th book is supposed to be released in the Fall/Winter of this year and will be titled Knife of Dreams. Jordan has stated that the series will end with the 12th book.

And for those interested, this is spawned from the fact that I'm tired of having both books sitting here on my shelf and not being able to put them to use.

The question arises for you then, do you remember the campaign adventure details or have forgotten them? I hope the latter and not the former.

Actually I don't want you to read the end of the main setting book at all. Thats where the adventure "What Follows in Shadow" is located. And don't read anything of the Prophecies of the Dragon except maybe the very far back. There are a few new feats and weaves and the Seanchan nationality information, but since we won't be having Seanchan characters only the weaves would be of interest.

I think I'll go with the original character plan I'd had for the WoT campaign we tried to do IRL. Maiden of the Spear later to become a Wise One.

I don't have any of the books, but I don't think there should be much trouble understanding it. I play 3rd Ed D&D weekly.

I'll see about getting my hands on the setting book though, so I can read up about classes or whatever.

I have all the class info copied over into word doc files that I did ages ago for other people who didn't have the book. I also have about half the nationalities info in doc files and the regional skills/feats you get depending on your nationality. I will work up a list of new Feats and Skills next along with changes to ones that are in the DnD PHB as well.

If you want to look at the class info here are the links:

Algai'd'siswai (Spear Fighter): The typical Aiel warrior, similar to a monk/barbarian in some aspects
Armsman: DnD Fighter
Initiate: DnD Wizard. These are the trained channelers of the One Power. They have been taught by another channeler.
Noble: Kinda similar to a Bard but less about music and more about command.
Wanderer: DnD Rogue
Wilder: DnD Sorceror. They learn to wield the One Power on their own.
Woodsman: DnD Ranger.

Because Brinkster is a biatch, you have to click the link, then delete a letter, click enter and when you get the error page, retype c at the end. Should take you to the right one then. They don't offer offsite linking.

Iirc, Wanderers got some really nice stuffs...can't remember specifically what they were. Great class. I love the Aiel though.

I havent read the books ...

So here's my quote: in how much time will you start the game?

THis sayed... I probably can go get and read them ^_^

Because, you know, I like reading... even if I cant Type >.<

But, I have to think hard about a post game. I played one with Doc, and as much as a loved it, I got tiered of it, not because of Doc (on the contrary) but because At the end, we where only 2 out of 5-6 posting >.<

But I know I can be fidel to it, even more this summer, and even more now that I will be working day starting next week!

I'll read the link you gave us, Kat, maybe that will help me deside if it interests me (It dose, I dont know if the world dose)

Wheel of Time has a very elaborate and detailed world and history. If you haven't read the books, you would be missing out on a ton of references in the game. Thats why I'd prefer people who have read a few of the books at least but won't limit it to just them.

Also, for all you people who have voiced interest, I'm serious about the posting time. If you don't see yourself being able to post at least once a day a few months down the line say for whatever reason (school, work, etc) please don't go any further. I've gotten sick of people dropping in my IRC game because stuff comes up. I know there will be times when things happen or times when people won't be worrying about the computer (holidays and such), but I expect a good deal of regularity from any perspective players. This is a Play by Post game, it doesn't require more than a dozen minutes or so to write up a post most of the time if that.

I can definitely post, I work only evenings so I'm home everyday until about 4:00pm.

As far as a character goes, I think I'll play a Wanderer or Woodsman. Also, when exactly does the campaign take place in the world?

"What Follows in Shadow" which I will be using to get the group together and such takes place during the "Eye of the World". Its in Caemlyn during the time when the false Dragon, Logain, is coming through the city on his way to Tar Valon. After that, the "Prophecies of the Dragon" follows events from book 2, "The Great Hunt", all the way through book 6, "Lord of Chaos", over the course of the campaign.

The only issue i could see is that in Fall i'm planning on going to Italy for a Study Abroad program. I should still be able to get net access at least once a day though, so i don't see too much of and issue. After that ends (first or second week of December) i'm going to see what would be required to do a broader trip around Europe and i doubt i'd manage to have net access daily at that point.

But that's 10 months away and there aren't any definate plans about it yet.

You don't need to get the book if you don't want, Ukko. I won't make anyone buy the 40 dollar book (or more up there in Canada). But if you do get them, only get the hardback manual, not the Prophecies of the Dragon. If you are talking about the actual novels, feel free. First novel is "The Eye of the World".

I'm gonna be putting up character creation info today along with info for those of you without the d20 book. If everything goes well, we should start the beginning of next week if not this weekend.

Yeah, there are a few of them out there but you really don't hear of them until book 2. Since this is starting in the middle of book 1 though, they might be alittle rarer for the moment.
