Just a couple of links here that I thought I’d pass on.
First, take a look at this die, and guess how old it is. THEN check this link.
Alright, the next one is somebody who is by far too interested in both origami and D&D. I mean…. faaaar to interested.
I’m considering running a RPG to supplement the off weeks between Mr Rob’s campaign, and because I’m a sado-maschocist I’m going to modify the 4e rules to run a samurai-styled campaign world. So it sounds like its going to be a crazy freestyle adventure, if anyone wants to play. I think it could (and should) be fun, so I’m not going be stressed over this – if we get the numbers and support for this idea, I’m more than happy to uphold my end of the bargain.
I don’t know too much more than that I’m going to have to restrict the races at this stage to good/unaligned humans for simplicity. If anyone is interested, show of hands please. I have numerous ideas for classes, but if anyone has a particular type of class they’d like to play then let me know. Don’t stress if you can’t thinkof anything though, I’ve got some ideas as well. I’d suggest you play male characters as well, though I do have some ideas for female characters as well. I’ll probably create some sample ‘dm-generated’ characters to give an idea of what we’re working with.
For history buffs, the setting will likely be early sengoku period and guns will have made an early appearance. For easier reference, wiki Oda Nobunaga. At this stage, the Samurai will not have been formalised into a martial caste, though samurai as we commonly understand them will definitely exist. Swords, though carried, are probably only second favourites to spears and bows though. (Swordsmanship won’t be big yet, like it is in the late edo period).
I’ll post more later as I develop more, but if you’re interested then let me know
