IC thread.
"The Filth of Kalgena".
Setting:
There has been the discovery of lots of minerals in mountain named Kalgena. Mundane metals like iron, tin, silver and gold are in abundance. A few lucky miners have found Mithral veins, and there are whispers about untapped seems of Adamantine.
A small city, named for the mountain, has sprung up around the mountain as people have raced to stake claims and find work. The metallurgy business has exploded, turning the raw metals into more valuable items. The spellcasting business has been slow to follow. Mostly sorcerers have shown up, followed by clerics. Wizards haven’t moved in; the level of civilization is too low for their lofty standards. Crime is rampant. The local economy has barely begun to react to the influx of massive amounts of precious metals, mostly because the vast majority of the wealth is held by mining firms, not individuals.

Kalgena is situated west of a large river, called 'The Long River', that runs to the north, passing through the queendom of Tomann, a mid-sized queendom neighbored by the kingdom of Mirathien. Kalgena is claimed by neither, as neither wants to be held responsible for the disaster of city planning that is Kalgena. To the east of the Long River are bountiful floodplains, where most of the local food is grown. The terrain around Kalgena is mostly dirt and silt, covered in brush and cacti.

The major players in Kalgena are the AMC, the Association of Mining Companies, and the Church Coalition. The AMC is the name for a group of rival mining companies who have warily banded together to coordinate their mining operations and protect their mutual interests. The Church Coalition is a number of representatives of various panthenons who have created the closest thing to a city government in the power vacuum of Kalgena. They oversee the sanitation and law enforcement of the city, but are largely ineffective, but not from lack of trying.

His name is Wrex, and I'm interested. Not sure what I'd play, but I'm interested.

I'm going to go on a flight soon, so I'll flesh out the setting then and return in five and a half hours with stuff.

I'm interested but in a huge amount already, so waitlist me. If you need players then PM me and I'll whip up a sheet.

As always, I am contractually obligated to join all the D&D. Making a character now.

Let's go with a monk. Because I like dying.

EDIT: And here he is, with preliminary work done. He's immensely good at punching things. Meatstick McGee

EDITEDIT: Can I count each of my arms as a separate attack for the purposes of qualifying for the Multiattack feat?

TRIEDIT: I'm sort of tempted to write 805 sentences of backstory and start out at level 4, just out of maniacal spite :P.

So it turns out that world build is not easy and takes more than a few hours to decide whether or not to have a lake. I have the general map done, but I've still got to work out the socio-economic-political atmosphere.

Only one? How big is this map? England? Europe? Eurasia? What?

Ooh. A worldbuilder after my own heart. Or something like that.

Well, it's the city and the mountain. So not very big. But having a lake was a concern because I wasn't sure how to simulate the effect of a massive mining operation on the lake. So I am going to go with just a river, no lake.

I reserve the right to falling rocks. And teleporting level drainers.

I've been looking for a 3.5 game for a while. Would love to participate.

EDIT:
Alrighty, I have two ideas for characters but I want to make sure I'm not stepping on anyone's toes when it comes to classes. Is anyone going for Bard or Wizard?

Also,

You seem to have mixed up the hyperlink thingy. I fixed it for you.

That is a hella lot of rule changes... I'd have to be crazy to try playing with all of those!

...

Alright, why the hell not. I'll give this a shot, but I'm going to do something different. I'm going for a wizard!

Now I just have to figure out how to play one...

If Zako's going for the Wizard, I'll claim the Bard.

I'm continuing to flesh out the world, but have got the basics written. I'll see if I can throw them up later.

BTW, the mountain's name is Mount Kalgena, and the city is Kalgena. Because I'm tired and it made sense.
