Let's Play: the TEMPLE of ELEMENTAL EVIL

A classic greyhawk adventure. IN COMPUTER GAME FORM! what could possibly go wrong? It's not like they get a lot of the details from the game wrong, or the NPCs in the module get put way out of what they would REALLY do, or they get references to the Greyhawk setting mythology wrong.

What?

Oh...you thought I was being sarcastic? NO REALLY! Hand to god, I'm just as shocked as you are, From the map of Hommlet, to the temple itself, to the layout and encounters in The Moathouse this game is a spot on reproduction of the module. Not only that, but those of us who campaign in Greyhawk will catch plenty of references to places you've been in Oerth! On my first attempt on this game I was shocked to recognize starting in Celene, a place that in my Real Life game we are never allowed back in again. "HEY! I saved you from an assassination attempt!" is not something I expect to say in the first five seconds of gameplay.

So, I know you're excited to get this thing started, and so am I! One thing cool about this game is that there are NINE separate openings to choose from based on your party alignment. And in the spirit of Audience Participation Let's Plays, I'm letting you guys handle that one. So...are we:

True Neutral. Also, this looks like it is going to be oh so awesome...

[Beelzebub1111]

True Neutral it is! Now we get to make five characters. What I need from you are as follows:

Name
Gender
Abilities (I'm rolling, so just give me an order of priority)
Race
Class (Core Classes only, No Prestige classes in this game)
Starting Feats (Again, Core only)
Alignment (Neutral Good, True Neutral, Lawful Neutral, or Neutral Evil only)
Deity (Always required for Clerics, and don't forget domains for those clerics)
Personality (Just one sentince describing their personality, I'll use that as a baseline for role-play/writing)

Now to be fair, only one Character per poster, I want as many people to have a chance as possible!

You sure didn't wait very long on the alignment...:smallfrown:

Gord
Dex, Int, Con, Cha, Str, Wis
Human
Rogue
Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot
True Neutral
Dalt
Selfish, but not to the point of hurting others for personal gain. Not cowardly, but perhaps a little overcautious.

Is good?

Aww...are those the only ones? After all, ToEE takes place in Greyhawk. :smallfrown:

Ok then, Dalt (God of Portals) is out, Olidammara (God of Armadillos) is in. :smallwink: And: male.

[Blayze]

Name Yezzik
Abilities Strength, Constitution, Dexterity
Race Half-Orc

Starting Feats Improved Initiative
Alignment Neutral Evil
Deity Gruumsh
Personality His entire personality revolves around becoming THE GREATEST WARRIOR IN THE MULTIVERSE. He has a one-track mind, and it's on a crash course for a collision with everything in sight. If he can cause conflict, he does.

(wot no tempus? D:)

If he was a Meta Guy, he'd love taking them thar passive Feats as well as his Fighter-specific ones to improve his combat potential to the max.

[dsmiles]

(wot no tempus? D:)
ToEE is Greyhawk, not FR. So, yeah, no Tempus.

[Beelzebub1111]

Well, we have our five. (a bit of a sausage fest, but alright)

If you didn't make it in time, that's okay. if anyone dies and we can't raise dead, we can recruit a NEW character from The Inn of the Welcome Wench.

I'll start our intro once I get off of work.

[Blayze]

Couldn't you use the Circle of Eight mod pack to increase the number of PCs you can take? (I think it goes all the way up to eight, ironically)

Probably the best option, especially because it fixes a lot of bad game-ending bugs as well.

[Sarco_Phage]

Probably the best option, especially because it fixes a lot of bad game-ending bugs as well.

And it increases the level cap. And adds 6th Level spells and up.

[ThePhantom]

Hello? Has this died before it could start?

[Beelzebub1111]

No, just that computer virus issues MAY have temporarily/indeterminately delayed my progress. I've got the first part written and played, though the screenshots, character portraits, and possibly game progress may be gone by day's end...
