Just to start, the Obsidian Portal section for this game will be here.

I'll make a couple more posts right after this for each character's front-page reference (character sheet plus background story and description).

I'll edit this post in the future for whatever basic stuff needs to be kept track of at the top of the thread.

http://www.d20srd.org/ is another useful reference, although it doesn't include page numbers or attribution for whichever book a certain rule is from.

Starting level is 2. 55-point buy from DMG's basic layout, any unspent points are lost. No starting attributes higher than 19 (after racial modification. Thus: no 20s until 4th, manipulate 17s how you wish). Open books for character traits are PHB, PHB2, Complete Divine/Arcane/Warrior/Adventurer/Mage and the marshal class from Miniatures Handbook. DMG/DMG2/MM are also in use, but if there's anything from those three that you want to use in character creation (surprise me), check first.

Wealth-by-level for lvl 2 from the DMG. Once everyone's shown up in here, collaborate on backgrounds for as much shared origin or synergy as you desire.

Are you doing open recruitment for this game? If so, I'd be interested in joining.

I'm planning on introducing several RL friends to the play-by-post format, and recruitment has already been done.

Sorry, gboy :-/

Figured I might as well ask. There's no harm in trying.

Hello room. I've no idea what I want to be for this game. I figured I'd just wait till the other slots start to fill up then decide from what's left.

I'm in, probably melee or divine

I always end up building wild card type characters. I want to play someone with a definite party role.

So were you planning on telling me about the Q&A post ? Am I still invited to play?

I'm not too particular about which class I play. I can do cleric if no one else has spoken up about being a healer type class, or alternatively a fighter of some sort.

Since the title of the game has Heist in it my first inclination would be to play a skilled sort of character. Maybe a bard.

Close runner-ups would be a dedicated arcane class or melee.

Looking forward to gaming with everyone :p

One more weigh-in and we can start the onerous task of creation!
