@Nerjin: Most of what you need to play 3.5 is readily available on the net for free.

I'm assuming a remote chance you could be talking about my game, btw, but it died due to issues in my life at the time.

>Warning! Competitive GM Mode Activated!

>List Campaign Concepts

-Valuables and powerful artifacts have been disappearing all across the kingdom. The Duke has hired you to find out what is happening and put a stop to it.

-Across the land, strange creatures have been sighted, and people are getting restless. A group of priests, concerned with the occurrences, have asked you to find out what these appearances mean.

-There has been no contact in months from the land across the sea. You must find out what happened to them.

-You have been hired as privateers by the Elven Confederation in their war with the Dwarven Empire. (Or Naval Campaign Take Two)

-Invaders from the East have ransacked the nation and taken control. What do?

This sounds good.

I'd be interested in playing in a PbP D&D game, although I expect I'd be skipped due to being entirely unknown on the boards.

What kind of restrictions would be in play?  Core books?  Core + Complete?

My usual style is SRD/Core + Anything Available Online, subject to GM Veto. It's only fair to the other players that A] they have access to all the same books as you're using and B] the GM gets to veto anything that is unbalanced.

In addition to the previously mentioned campaigns, I am willing to run this one too.

Oh, I wish I had the time for this.  3.5 is my edition (guess that makes me a grognard, now) and I haven't gotten the chance to play in ages.  Sadly, work and other things are keeping me occupied.

A bit of hard-learned experience for newer players interested.
  • Options are power.  The more completely different things you can do, the more likely you'll be able to contribute to the solution of a problem, whether it's a mystery, a race, a fight, a political scandal, or something else.
  • Hitting the thing with the other thing is only a single thing you do.  Even if the things you hit with are as varied as a hammer, a longspear, a fist, an arrow, and a fireball spell, you still only really bring 1 option to the table: inflict hit point damage.
  • Fighter looks simple, but it is actually the hardest class to play effectively.  All you have is your feats, and if those don't work, you have no basic class features to fall back on.  There aren't very many good feats in Core, and unlike a Wizard with his spells, if you make a poor feat selection, you can't just pick a new one the next time you sleep or the next time you have money to add scrolls to your book.

    This sounds good, either by Remuthra or Grek (The Orc Shakespeare was also great, of course ;D ). How many players would either of you be willing to take? And what to you think your available times would be, in a general non-specified way?

    I would be willing to accept up to 5 players for a PbP campaign or up to 8 (with the assumption that only half will actually show up any given night) for online play.

    Actually the last character I played included a couple Fighter levels, but that only because I needed 13 feats by level 6 for an experimental "minigun" setup.

    Depends on the time, I'd be happy to play. The one I joined before unfortunately ended pretty quickly, which I thought was a real shame.

    I'd probably accept six, and my time is mostly on weekends and to a lesser extent evenings.

    Weekends should be fine, I'm a lonely bugger so they're typically free. I'm in GMT+0, (six hours ahead of the normal forum time) so please take that into account when choosing game time.
