Subject: Kaan's 3E pseudo-campagin

Okay, here goes:

I am NOT ready to run a full fledged campaign, at least in the way that I would want to. I haven't had that much experience in PLAYING D&D let alone DMing. What I am prepared to do is run a 3E game just for the sake of a 3E game. I envision us playing whenever a game is cancelled just so all of those who were ready to play can if they want to. It should be fairly casual and, depending on who plays or not, I think that people should be able to play different characters so when creating your characters don't put any deep and dark secrets in your backround or something. As for backround, keep it generic but feel free to think up quirky and interesting personalities for your characters. I don't really plan on keeping it totally coherent and continious or themed so if you guys want hack and slash, RP oriented, high powered, low powered, underdark, planar or whatever we can do that. As I said it should be casual.

Here are my character creation guidelines. with 3E being different than 2E I don't think the standard FRU house rules apply here:

-30 points for attributes(Don't freak out. First of all attributes mean more in 3E. A 12 in strength gives you +1 to hit and do damage. In the char gen, click the roll button and replace the 4d6 to roll your stats with the point buy system. Before doing anything, set the number of points to 30 and then distribute the points and you'll have a decent character in no time (I promise!)
-Make up your backround and keep it generic. Doesn't really matter what campaign setting. Greyhawk will be the unofficial official setting because we have the gods and domain powers for clerics laid out for us in the PHB but feel free to use elements from other settings within reason.
-Everything else by the book. Go through the char gen and fully create your character. Attach the file to an email and send it to me for review.

If you have any questions or don't have the PHB yet, talk to me. The next game is on for wensday because Marz won't be able to run his SotD game.

Also I am strongly considering using Netmeeting as our medium for my games. I think it will improve a number of things in addition to speeding things up because of the voice chat (even if only the DM has it). This probably won't happen in time for the game on wensday though so don't worry if you have problems with it. If you do, email me your concerns.
