Due to seeing all of the campaign journals floating around on the forum, I have decided to start my own, based on the campaign that I am running now.
As mentioned in my sig, I play PI dnd. Basically, a screwed up version of 3.5. I am mentioning this so that everyone is aware and doesn't fill up the entire forum with rules mistakes.
The Main Problem with my playing is that I have a maximum of 4 people that I know willing to play dnd, and its ussually just me and 1 player. We respond to this difficulty by almost always playing with geshalt characters, and I,the DM, usually plays a character. Sometimes we also play multiple characters.
So, the party (all 1st level)
Kaywen, a wizard/spellthief. She is 1/2 utility spellcaster, 1/2 ray spellcaster. Pretty optimized, but a fun character. Controlled by me.
Nartach Druskeden, a swordsage/fighter. He uses both swordsage variants, and is an ubercharger beyond all uberchargers I have everplayed. On charges, he gets two kicks and a greatsword attack, doing insane amounts of damage. Controlled by me.
[Nameless], a bard/fighter. Uses two battleaxes and dragonfire inspiration to good effect. Not too optimized yet, but he next level he will be able to do 6d6 fire damage in a cone every once and a while. He has not been named yet, and I will announce when he is.
Jaheel, a ring sorcerer/psion. Yes, a ring. I discussed him in a thread here. (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=103158)
Controlled by me. He is primarily focused on buffing/debuffing and summoning.
More on the first session next.
