So I decided, I'm going to DM a D&D campaign.  I've DMed before, but never with a competent group.  I've always played with my brother and sister, who weren't the best people to play with, and I never had a group make it past level 9(I believe it was 9.  Highest they ever got before they got bored).  I admit I had a hand in this too, I was never a very good DM.  I've gotten it figured out now though, and I am confident I can do well.

Here's where things get interesting.  I genned up a world, found an interesting location, and am now modifying the rules to allow D&D in Dwarf Fortress.  It's going to be a loosely DF-themed world, but not too loose.

The campaign will need four players, starting at level 1, using 4-1d6 rolling for stats(As in, roll four and discard the lowest).  If I suspect shenanigans, or if people fear shenanigans, I'll roll them myself and put them up for the players to choose.

If you're not one of the first four, you can still roll a character if you want, and you may be recruited later if a character dies.  No promises though, I'm not as brutal as some DMs(Which is why I use a generous stat-rolling system).


DA RULEZ



Clerics will choose one of the gods of their civilization, detailed below.  Since elves worship an impersonal force, they cannot be clerics, instead using druids as the religious arm of society.

THE WORLD AS YOU KNOW IT


This is the extent of your current knowledge(Dwarves and Elves will likely know of lands farther out, but for now we'll deal here).
This is only a small fraction of the entire realm, but going farther out will have to wait until you're prepared.
The southernmost human town is Furytactics.  Other towns will be fleshed out as we go.

THIS IS WHERE YOU COME IN

As said before, campaign is for four players, 4-1d6 stat-rolling.  I recommend this Javascript character creator for your character creating needs, but if you're used to something else, go for it.

Of course, you can also use this as a reference, but keep in mind that I'm not familiar with most of the supplements.  If it's not in the core rulebooks, it probably won't be taken.

Names should be normal DF names, with subraces using names for their civilization.  Feel free to randomly generate names via Dwarf Fortress.

Each character will have 200g to spend on starting equipment.

EDIT:  I forgot, Goblin cities will not be clusters of obsidian towers, on the grounds that I hate them.  They'll be castles built into the mountainsides, sort of like Helms Deep but not as well-made, and more sinister.

Lizardmen are violent, primitive cave creatures, so no.

Tell me how this is different from a DF player, and then I'll stop asking.
Owned!
If I sound really stupid, it's because it's really late. G'night, everybody.


Oh and I'm in enough forum stuff to tide me over for a while. I'm not going to be greedy.

Lizardmen do not have a civilization, do not communicate or use equipment, and have no dealings with humans.  There's just no justification for -man PCs.

You can submit a character, but it's going to be first-submitted first-served, so don't dilly dally too terribly much.

I don't see it either.  It's probably standard, though.

Alright.

Can my name be Ozymandias? I have no idea what a gnome name is.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Placeholder being the name. Sorry I can't cut unnecessary bits, got to go to work.

If Ozymandias is acceptable, replace Place holder with Ozymandias. If not, Cog Metalgear, Dwarven name, I know.

Also: I don't know what equipment you were going to allow so I let the char gen do the default equipment :3

Gnomes use Dwarf Names.  Halflings use Human Names.  Half-Elves use the names of the civilization they choose.

Pick 200g worth of equipment and cobble together a bit of a backstory(You don't need much, just the character's reason for living in human civilization and maybe some aspirations or the like) and I'll put the character up.  Cog Metalgear is an acceptable name.

I don't know anything about hexblades, sorry.  I'd prefer if you stuck with the core classes.

And jeez I am absent-minded today.  Forgetting everything.  3.5e indeed.
