I'll be finishing up first semester of Uni soon which will leave me with a whole bunch of spare time during mid-term break, since atm i'm not really involved in any frequent DnD games and i feel like DMing i've been considering giving it another shot.
Looking around for inspiration i spied The Empire Triology (by Raymond E. Feist and Janny Wurts) sitting in my bookshelf and thought that Kelewan would be a pretty damn awesome world to set a DnD campaign in; it has some serious untapped story potential and saves me the trouble of having to write an entire world from scratch while still having large swathes of unwritten history to set stories in.
Ovbiously i'd have to make some new races (probably 4, since that's how many live on Kelewan), but that's not hard, and the classes and items can be fairly easily refluffed to fit the Tsurani setting.
So i'm probing for intrest; if i get 3 or more people intrested then i'd be looking to start in about 3 - 4 weeks, depending on exactly how it all pans out.
I'm in Melbourne; Australia, which is a GMT +10 Timezone; this probably means evening games for those if you in America. Sat or Sun my time (Fri or Sat respectively for Americans) would work best, but i can also do Friday if we go a bit earlier (Thurs for Americans. I live in the future), although my schedule will probably become significantly more flexible by the actual start time for the campaign.
In case anyone is wondering i'm a pretty open DM and have loosened up significantly lately, especially in my attitudes towards 4th. I've sunk a fair bit of time into understanding the core systems behind 4th edition and i'm quite comfortable with home-brewing anything from races to items, and i'm also quite ameniable to doing so. I also intend to tweak the combat a bit to make things a wee bit faster by altering monster stats and potentially introducing a recharge system to avoid that annoying unexpected Extended Rest.
We'll see. First step is to see if there are any interested parties.
