Players needed for Two Steps From Death.

Set in our own world, Earth, the planet we've lived on and have learned to love, cherish and grow from. However things are different. The world is barren, on fire, flooded or torn apart by mountains. Earth's elements have taken arms against humanity, striking right after the industrial era began. Because of this, humanity was never able to step forward with research. The raging elements have torn apart buildings, towns, event whole kingdoms have fallen. Only a few places hold man kind. The question is, will the elements ever stop their onslaught?

Rules will be simple and easy. No magic users, and you must be a human. Keeps the game on the edge of reality a little bit. However, in order to get the effect I want, magic IS in the world, just not accessible by humans.

Locked till and if the DM returns.

Players needed for Two Steps From Death.

Post by Korgen »

The year is 2000, on our own planet. Earth. Things took a very dramatic turn 200 years prior to our adventure. The elements somehow became enraged. Sending waves of water rushing inland, summoning sudden and horrible earthquakes. Volcanos erupted across the world, lighting forest on fire. And the wind came crashing across the planet, forming torandos and hurricanes. If the elements weren't harsh enough, bandits have become rapists, murders and have commited other vile acts in a time where humanity should be fighting together for survival. Now humans stand at a mere 25,000. On the brink of extinction. But, in this land of chaos and saddness. Something sturs in Balise, a small hamlet in where central Sweden would be now. Alysan Clos, Leader of the guard calls for those strong enough to stand up and fight for the once great race. Who will answer the call?

This is a 3.5 game set in a non magical world. So no magic, Only humans. Classes aswell as other rules are specificed in the rules section of "2 Steps from Death"

Current team includes.
Hazel Nightstalker, a female scout.

This is a 3.5e Adventure, one I like the idea of myself.

It might be good to mention the race restrictions anything else the players might need to know.

All the information you need is written down in the rules section of "Two steps from Death" The roll system is 4d6, drop the lowest. :P

Id be interested. I was wondering if you would allow the samurai class?
A young boy who is now in possession his fathers "ceremonial" swords, the training his father gave him and a book on the tenants of Bushido who struggles to keep alive an ancient family tradition.

Are we starting right after the cataclysm, years after or generations after?

This is a 3.5 game, all available classes are in the rule section. The game itself takes place roughly 200 years after the initial attack.

I've been playing Neverwinter Nights, a monk character, so I got an idea for a similar character. But before you consider letting me join, I should be upfront with you.

My experience with 3E is very minimal. What I know I mostly learned from video games (like NWN and DDO) and webcomics (Order of the Stick and Goblins). I was in a 3E game once--I played a Human Noble 4/Fighter 4/Legendary Tactician 1 in a Dragonlance game (I was Derek Crownguard, actually) but the DM pretty much built the character for me and I only made one die roll before the game fell apart, sadly (and it was a Knowledge, Nobility and Royalty check at that!)

I can access the SRD but have no books at all. So if you don't mind a little handholding, especially in terms of character creation and leveling up, I can give it a shot. If you're only looking for more experienced players or you feel you have enough at the moment, that's fine, too.
