All rogue party?

[Wolfepuppy]

Like the title, has anyone ever been part of an all rogue party based campaign?

No, but have done all bard. Was pretty awesome, we all built differently, but along the theme of traveling musicians that steal the underwear right off you.

[Azoth]

I have. We were a traveling band of thieves. It was rather difficult at first. All of us dreading that another had made the Chaotic Stupid Kleptomaniac. Once we got past that it was fun seeing all the different archetypes a rogue can fill.

[MirthTheBard]

I personally haven't, but I heard of a horror story example from my friend's old school's D&D club where most of the party was rogues and ALL of them were playing chaotic kleptomaniacs.

No, but a party with all Rogues would quickly get boring.

Now a party with a Rogue, a Scout, a Beguiler, a Factotum and a Spellthief...that would be interesting.

I always thought it'd be cool to have a game where the party works for a thief's guild and are restricted to the roguish classes (rogue, ninja, bard, factotum, spellthief, etc...) and PrC's. Traps would be more elaborate and require multiple people to disarm, lots more intrigue... Combats would be too dangerous to take head-on so instead the party would rely on scouting it out thoroughly first, getting the surprise, and setting up the environment to take advantage of, there would ideally be no "fair fights."

Never been in nor run an all-rogue game, though.

I have been trying to think of all the necessary archetypes that need to be covered within the group. Everyone would be able to sneak attack making flanking advantageous for everyone but I was thinking a dedicated melee archtype would be necessary. Using alternative class features, not everyone would have trapfinding which would mean a dedicated trapsmith. A dedicated bugler would be helpful and a dedicated social rogue would be nice. Of course some of these don't require a great deal of specialization with the vast amount of skill points available to the rogue and everyone would be able to do most everything just some would be "highly classified"

Never done so, but I've wanted to ever since I picked up the Complete Thief's Handbook.
That or an all bard group sounds just so much fun.
Actually, any single-classed party sounds like a lot of fun.

Rogues are my fav class so that would be awesome.

[Curmudgeon]

Yep. I was the combat specialist, with Knowledge Devotion and all the 6 creature-related Knowledges maximized. I had Craven plus Lightbringer Penetrating Strike and Uncanny Bravery ACFs. The stealth specialist (forward scout mostly) was my usual flanking partner, since he could be there with Hide in Plain Sight and provide me with flanking bonuses while not being noticed by the enemies.

That's an intriguing idea, indeed.
Once I've made a only sorcerers party (for a one-shot adventure), but this is more suited for a mid term campaign. I'll let you know if we'll play it.

I ran a straight-Stealth campaign one time, had ten players broken up into two parties. Couple of rogues, sneaky bards, shapeshifter Druids... The only rule was that you had to be sneaky. The teams were not aware of each other, and I described them to each other as their rivals. Last mission got them together to team up against their employer. Fun times

I had a DM who did this once. It was my second or third character ever, and we were free to multiclass so long as rogue stayed our #1 class. So, I rolled out a 2 rogue/1 fighter since we were starting at level 3. 3.5 was barely a year old. Everyone else in the group was halflings. Unfortunately it only lasted a single session (the DM's ADD was worse than mine). Either that or he didn't know how to handle us.

I know we had a lot of fun, since it started with a jailbreak scene. Halflings tripped the guard through the bars, I pull his sword off his belt, knock him out with the hilt, and we all get out of the cells, just in time to hear the rest of the guards at the door, which prompts all of us to run back into the cell and close the door. The rest of them come in, and unfortunately for them, couldn't sense motive to save their lives. "He tripped" and the dm completely forgot about the longsword I had hidden behind my back until after some of the guards drug their unconscious partner away, leaving 2 behind. A couple of move silentlys and we had them knocked out, but not before they dropped me to zero. Halflings start escaping through the window, while attempting to drag me along with them and slowly lower me down to the ground. Its really a shame that it ended there. Could have been a lot of fun.

Yup. I've been doing some research on 2ED rogues for an Al-Qadim campaign, if my current one ever wraps up.

We played a 2ED all cleric FR campaign once: The God Squad. The religious debates and evangelizing were...intense.
