This is a pretty relaxed and fun little game. I have some guidelines but mostly I'm just looking for interesting players and we can discuss most of the char gen rules once I've picked my small group (precisely 3 OR 4). For rules all you need to know is two things (other than the game system):

1. A house rule: 1's count as -10 instead of auto failures and 20's count as 30's while being critical threat.
   
2. The starting level will be somewhere from 3rd to 7th

Otherwise I have a lot flexibility for allowed sources, stat gen, campaign themes and so much more. We'll discuss and agree upon that when the players have been admitted.

I have a few weeks of recovery from surgery and I'd like to take this chance to start a new group in one of my successful games. It is very relaxed and should not be a core game for anyone, but it will be long standing. If you'd like you can ask the other group's players when the time comes; I fade away now and then but I ALWAYS eventually come back.

So if you want a go to game that you aren't terribly upset with erratic posting pace then it will go great with your more active games.

So I am using this game to fill time during my recovery (since it will be very low maintenance) but I'm not interested in just giving up on it when that period is over. It may have break immediately after that point but it will come back.

In any case, please see the game intro for more details.

UPDATE: I'm updating this to reflect a time limit that I think should be made clear. While this is going to be a slower game by large and far, I'd like to have the opportunity for some rapid posting during my sabbatical. So I will be choosing my players on Monday the 9th of Feb at around 18:00 GMT -6.

That is an awesome house rule. Everyone should use that one.

In reply to Azraile (msg # 2):
Thank you, though it's a semi-canon rule. That is it's a core "house rule" printed in the core DMG (I forget the page r/n). I like it a lot and am glad you do too ^_^.

Spoiler for my motivation: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)
I never liked the concept of an ancient dragon being taken down solely by mobs of generic goblins or a paladin of legend somehow failing to utterly ruin a group of lemures or dretches with no fiendish assistance.

Having used this rule for many years it still sucks to roll a 1 and is still great to roll a 20, but it has a fail safe that you can't be bombarded with a horde of medusa at high level and statistically be doomed to roll a 1. I have hit on a 1 (as a player) against APL -2 creatures but that is only when those creatures have weak ACs and my attack is high and unaugmented by combat maneuvers.

The idea is just that severe disparity in power level ensures victory for the clearly superior side. It still functions the same way, you almost always fail on a 1 and succeed on a 20. I have also found it still keeps abilities like the knight's Impetuous Endurance relevant.
