LP Temple of Elemental Evil: Ch.0 Reboot!
« on: October 11, 2011, 03:18:39 pm »

Let's Play: The Temple of Elemental Evil
Ch.0: Reboot!

Gather round, internet, it's time to play some good old-fashioned Advanced Dungeons and Dragons! Well, sorta old-fashioned, at least. We'll be running the classic Gary Gygax adventure The Temple of Elemental Evil, recreated in computer form by Atari and Troika Games. I'll be your DM for the evening, while you all will be my puppets adventuring party!



Rules and Participation:
1. I'm just the DM here. Players will be rolling up characters for the party, and choosing the direction we move the story in.
2. When we're at a crossroad, feel free to post in-character, and figure out what you guys want to do next.
3. This is an Ironman run, meaning there will be no savescumming, and character death is permanent. Sorry in advance! :3
4. Each player gets 1 character at a time, and only 6 can fit in the party. If your character dies, feel free to add a new one to the queue.
5. This is liable to be more than a bit silly. Have fun with it!





Party Alignment, and Character Creation:
Before we can start, you guys will first need to decide on a Party Alignment, and roll up some Character Sheets. The party's alignment influences the plot, and determines the party's choices in the story. Also, each character in the party can only be 1 step removed from the Party Alignment, or they won't be allowed to join. Choose wisely, as this will affect much of the game!

As for character sheets, I'll need a name, a race, a class (or 2 if multiclassing), their skills and specialties, and your characters 2 best and 2 worst attributes (among: Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma). Give me a few personality traits, quirks, or any other descriptors you want to add too, since that lets me know how to build their skills and feats, and how you want them to be played.

Question: are you using the Circle of 8 modpack? I heard Ironman mode was buggy with that. I mean, buggier than ToEE usually is.

Definitely using Circle of 8. If it's going to give me problems with Ironman, I can just enforce the Rules myself.

Also, huzzah for foppish rogues!

Oh hey, cool. I've gone into a little more detail on a build, hope you don't mind.

But then, life was also easier when I was running around here pretending to be a man, so I guess I should just "man up" and get back to work.

Looking good so far! Here are a few more portraits I'm considering, if you guys have a preference:
Spoiler: Aelon Portraits (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Zhai Portraits (click to show/hide)
Spoiler: Everand Portraits (click to show/hide)

P.S. Akigagak, I'll do my best to keep to specific build ideas, but remember that if he's going for Improved Trip, he'll need enough INT to go down the Combat Expertise tree.

How are you getting those extra portraits? I got Co8 and bent over backwards trying to find a way to add new portraits.

My vote is for a CG party. It's nice to have options.

I'm going to go with the third one for Malvolio. The first two look far too manly.
