So my players were getting bored and i wanted to give them a game where they ha dthe ability to do pretty much what ever they wanted. SOOOOO the world or "Epicmatus" was born.
In this realm of D&D players role there stats a little differently. they make 3 roles with D8's and keep all four of the dice on there highest role to give them a possible 32 base stat. then the other 3 stats were normal. Next the characters were asked, not told they were able to but asked, to pick a race with a level mod of at least 5. yes 5! and if they did not wish to they recieved double race bonuses!
now this world of Epicmatus is as its name suggests an epic world. mountains as tall as the sky, river rapids only crossable by the most skillful, lakes you could not see across, litterally rolling hills, 200 degree desserts -200 degree tundras. there are no meesly orcs only giants. no goblins or koblods,trolls and beasts. also this world has access points to all the elemental planes by simply saying a comand word while being engulfed in the element.
in there first adventure they faced a very old red dragon with a slue of frost fire stone and storm giants. it was fun to say the least. now lemme give a brief description of the team. we had an illithid wizzard, rakashasa sorc, 1/2 dragon stone 1/2 giant, minataurs, were-tigers and elementals as familars.
when the players were making there characters they kept asking me well can i make up this feat that does this or this spell or this or that and i finally told them "ask yourself is this gonna make the game more fun?" if the answer was yes i told them to do it. after th first 2 adventures they had an army of followers and slaves and undead and were building a fortress.
needless to say it was every players fanasy world but it was a bit too much... all great things in moderation right? not in this world so we had to put it down and make a level 1 game to recover lol.
well i just wanted to share this recent adventure with you all hope you enjoyed it:wink:
