[4e] The Garden of Graves - OOC

[Malek Deneith]

I'm considering starting yet another 4e game here on the boards. I can't speak much without spoiling but it would start with an adventure for level 10 character, and could possibly go up to early epics (I'm saying possibly because who knows would interest - both of potential players and mine - last the whole way). There will be an overarching plot spanning through the whole thing, even if not necessarily present in each adventure along the way.

Fair warnings:
1) I'm probably not as good DM as other people running games here, and I will be working on published material, so while I'll try my best be prepared to endure some less then stellar efforts on my part if you join.
2) This is Dungeons and Dragons 4e. Combat will happen and will happen a lot most likely. If you get bored with combat easily that's probably not a game for you.

So, any victims voulnteers?

Confirmed players:
-Tavana (Controller)
-Gargulec (Defender)
-SKRen (Striker)
-Madtrixr (Leader)
-thelaptop (Striker)

[Gargulec]

Me.

[S.K. Ren]

Sign me up.

[Madtrixr]

I want in.

[thelaptop]

You have my bow.

[Tavana]

My mind shall guide you.

I haven't played d&d since good old AD&D, how different is this form and would you take a n00b?

[Malek Deneith]

I'm afraid I already got all the people I need. Answering your question though - much has changed since AD&D days. To name just a few changes: Thac0 is gone, saving throws as you know them are gone, skills are part of core game since 3rd edition, magical healing works of "healing surges" that replenish every rest, and everybody now has "powers" which can be used either all the time (at-will) once every combat (encounter) or once per day (in other words fighters don't just "hit them with their sword").

[Tavana]

For consistency, since my character has telepathy (which is two way, by the way. You speak my name, and I can generally hear you...within range) I'll be using the following format for my character's speech:

[I am speaking inside your head.]
I am speaking inside MY head.
"I am speaking verbally."

It should be noted that the group would be aware that Sorasha is a Kalashtar, as well as the fact that she tends to masquerade as human, and get away with it for the most part.
