Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sounds cool, I'll make a char for it. You should run this to the RP subforum so it doesn't get lost in the main forum.

2nd level
Starting Gold: 1000 (no more 250 can be spent on any one item.)
34 point buy
do you mean the points to divide between stats? sorry I just never heard it like that. sad

Sorry I had some problems with some stuff on my computer that took up alot of my time for the last couple of days which slowed down getting more info up.

I ahev though a bit more about this and since it would probably be more fun I'll try to run this as a full on pbp camapign be it a bit railroaded to force you upon the same adventures. This would allow much more character developement and not be as stream line but as that will be how I run the main group it makes mcuh more sense. Eventually if I have dming in the pbp format down and have enough free time aslong as there ebing a good interest in the campaign I could vary well split this off from that group and devlope a different story.

@AI-chan Unmei

Point but is an alternative system to rolling your stats that make sure everyone has more or less equal characters to start with as it removes chance from ability score generation. It's detailed on page 169 of the DMG 3.5. I tend to use 34 point buy as it makes high powered charcters and reduces death within the party, which compliments roleplaying with more character continuity.

Here's the majority of what I ahve typed up so far. I'll repost this a bit more organized at the start of the main and or OOC topic when I start this up

Campaign Premise

You are all friends of Roderick of the Greenlands, a good hearted and well learned bard, who has travelled the continent as an adventurer and made quite a good anme for himself. Him along with a group of fellow entrepeneurs have recently set up an adventure's guild in Empira. He has asked your group to be the first representatives of the guild in Fontra.

You start in the recently built guild house in central Silanus, being among the very first members of the guilds new branch. It is your job to give the guild a good anem and expand it through the country. You will be given assignements to carry out that could be anything from exploring newly discovered ruins to fending off an attack of locath from a port.



Regional info:

The setting for this campaign will be a homebrew country called Fontra (seen above).

The counrty is covered with an expanisive water way made up of natural rivers and some later man made canals that server as it's major form of transportation.

It is a rather large country It lies on a central continent populated in different areas by pretty much all of the major races.

It's borders include Empiria to the west, a small but highly productive that was once at at height of know technological advancement but that was lost in a major war 200 or so years pervious with it's other neighboring country, Andora.

To the east is Elanor, a highly pascifistic country. It's points of interest are the capital church of Pelor that lies in the capital.

To the north is the largest know desert that takes up the majoirty of the circular continent lying at the center. It takes up almost 50% of the entire land mass of the continent. The rest being divided between divided between the six coutries spaced around it.

The other 3 countries
Are Dentro, Andora, and Ardoris.

Dentro is the the largest country on the continent, it is filled with mostly untamed forest as well as a pair of large mountain ranges surrounding it's central region. It lies to the east of Ardoris and the north of Elanor.

Ardoris is an oriental country to the west of Dentro and north of Andora, They are partially xenophobic are keep their culture seperate from the rest of the continent.

Andora sits south of Ardoris and west of Empiria. It has more or less reovered from the great war with Empiria but has since completly lock down it's eastern border and kept to it's self for the last 200 years so not much is know on it's curtrent state.


The country of Fontra is divied into ten provinces (in bold) with major city or points of interest bulleted underneath

Kentrikos
A semi central/northern province of mostly open plains. It's population is mostly huamns and halfings but almost any race could be found here with some searching

-Silanus
The capital city of Kentrikos lieing on it's southern border.
Because of it's position on the rivers is a central trading location for the the entire region.
This city also holds the recently opened adeventure's guild house

Chersonis
This province oppucpies the south east corner of the country. It has a long swampy penninsula that curves out from it's coast. While humans tend to occupy the majority of this province a large tribe of liazrdfolk lay claim to the poreia peninnsula.

-Seawall
The capital of Chersonis, this small town lies on the edge of the poreia penninsula. It is a stop on the coastal highway

-Orios
A small town on the eastern border. The final stop on the coastal highway.

A large whisper gnome community that lies within the hills of Saferios.

-Lithos
A medium sized town that ahppens to be the capital of Saferios. It rests on the coast and is a stop on the coastal highway.

The Graphikos islands
This island chain it just off the coast from poreia peninnsula. Producing exotic fruit, they have a large amout of trade with Empira by merchant ships that curve around the peninnsula, through Stilanta waters and along the coast to port Thelassa in Empira. For the commerce many humans have settled here. There is also small tribe of jungle elves deep in the forests of Karpofos, one of the islands. There is also a large colony of aquatic elves closby in the waters.

-Karpoforos

The Capital of Agrotima. This is the center of the farming communty of the entire province.

Lofos
Filling the south-western corner of the nation, this region is mostly highlands rolling into the Ria mountain range that seperates Fontra from Empira. Some gnomes from further north have settled here along with some whipser gnomes from further east.

-Oros pass outpost
A large outpost sits along the entrance to Oros pass, one of the few places where crossing the Ria mountain range is possible. It is one end of the coastal highway. It has over the years grown as commerce through the pass increased and is now infact the large and capital city of the province.

A southern province on the coast. It is made up of a mix of hills and plains. While humans settled orginally, holding the nation capital, now holds a mix of almost everyrace kin to Fontra.

-Galanos
The capital city of Fontra. It lies on the coast just between Lofos, And Omalos.

P.S. Sorry for the long post, the majority of it is campaign info rather
