Anyone interested in a Planescape campaign? This is open to everyone, 2E or 3E, whether you know anything about the Planes or not. We'll probably start as a mix of mid and low level characters, with maybe one or two high level ones thrown in.
So... how 'bout it?

I'm in!
Just give me about a week to create a character (or I may be interested in playing one of my already existing characters, a Planeshifter, by the way; but she is of moderately high - 13th level) and I will be ready to join anytime!
By the way, what are optimal levels for this online RPG? And what non-standard races are allowed? And what alignments would you reccomend (I won't be able to play Neutral Good character if you plan for the party to work for Tanar'ri at some point, for example)?
Either way, I have a lot of character ideas in mind, so I will be able to create a character for any level, race and alignment limitations.
P.S.
I must admit, that despite my eagerness to play this online RPG, I don't know Planescape campaign setting especially well; I know only basics of it, actually. Still, I am willing to learn in the process.

I'll write up the rules of character creation after this game gets enough support. I'm hoping for at least 5 players, so try to convince other people to join!
As far as races are concerned - I'll probably allow all bipedal races as long as they're not uber-powerful. Same deal with classes.
Haven't decided on alignments yet, but keep in mind that people strong in their alignment don't tend to have a lot of fun on the planes. For example, the stereotypical paladin in Hell is not a good scenario to be in.

Alright, I'll wait then.
As about races, I wasn't thinking about anything too powerful anyway, I was actually thinking about a Cansin (a Planetouched with same relation to Chaos as Assimars' relation to Good or Tieflings' relation to Evil), or Ice Para-Genasi. I was also thinking about playing a Githzarai, but it will be a little bit troublesome for DMl; as in this case I will need DM to role-play my Sensei/Teacher, who is going to be of at least twice higher level then I (the other option is to allow me to role-play my own Sensei, but I would prefer to avoid it). And also it will take a good reason for the pair to be involved. And finally, if I play my already existing Planeshifter, she is a half-elf, half-sun elf to be precise.
P.S.
I don't have books with me at the moment, so if I got some races' names wrong (I am especially unsure about Cansin and Githzarai), gomen nasai, please forgive me.

Obviously you know I'm all over this. Already have my character ready. Spec the Damned, tiefling rogue. He's "special". Although it's gonna be interesting if we come in contact with any Tanar'ri OR Baatezu because each react to him as though he was their relative enemy, because he's got Balor/Pit Fiend blood in him. His alignment's true neutral with chaotic neutral tendencies. Here's his character sheet: Spec's Character SheetThe daggers are primarily for color, since what kind of impression is a dagger, even double damage, gonna make on fiends...unless they're 'leasts'. But I could alter 'em if need be. |

Spinagon - You have an interesting character. We'll need to do some tweaking, but he looks good to go.
BRO - I've actually never heard for a cansin or a para-genasi, so I'm going to have to decline those options (unless you can tell me where they're listed), though you are free to play normal genasi or githzerai.

I have seen them only for 3.0 edition; both are presented in Dragon magazine, which is considered a more or less official WotC publication. They are about as powerful as Thieflings and Assimars. I could have provided you with detailed descriptions, although naturally it would be for 3.0 edition. Since we are going to play low-level (with Spec being 1st level character), would prefer to avoid playing Githzerai, for in that case my high-level Sensei would be disbalancing factor. Anyway, I'll consider my other options, I hope I still have a week or so for character creation. |

By the way, EK, I have been considering my other options and I wonder, will it be okay for me to play a Fey'ri?
I am not sure if there were Fey'ri in 2nd edition, for I saw them made for 3.0 edition only. For 3.0 edition, they were initially described in Monsters of Faerun book, although Lords of Darkness book (which was released later) described their history and society in greater details.
Anyway, Fey'ri are special (and rather powerful) kind of Tieflings, who are the result of interbreeding between Sun Elves and Succubi/Incubi. Some of their abilities vary (although all are taken out of the general list); in case with my character, she will be able to cast Suggestion and Dimension Door spells as spell-like abilities (each usable once per day), and has damage reduction (10/+1) and fire resistance (10); that's in addition to bonuses to some skills, certain elven traits and ability to change her shape to small degree, which are abilities common to all Fey'ri. Fey'ri are more or less on the same level of power as Githyanki and Githzerai (all of them have +2 level adjustment according to 3.0 edition).
By the way, I already have my Fey'ri character's history written down, so if you will allow me to play Fey'ri, I will be able to complete my character within a day or two. Otherwise, I have other possibilities in mind, including Air, Fire or Water Genasi, although needless to say, it will take me additional time to think of a history for another character.

Well, BRO, as much as I'd like to get this game going, the Fey'ri seems a bit too powerful for the type of game I'm running. Sorry, but if I had realized that there were so many new races in 3rd edition, I probably wouldn't have said that all races are welcome. I'll put the character creation thread up in the PBP board, and we'll start from there.
I can try to work with you on translating your character to another race, if possible, but I'm afraid that as it is, it seems almost as powerful as a minor aasimon.
Edit: mistype (aasimar = aasimon)

Wouldn't work; my character's history is built around the fact that she is Fey'ri. Oh, and by the way, "almost as powerful as a minor aasimar"? Were Assimars so powerful in 2nd edition? Because in 3.0 edition, Assimars are about as powerful as Tieflings, and this makes them actually less powerful then Fey'ri.

Are you guys referring to Assimar or Assimon? Personally, I am refering to Assimars (at least, they are called Assimars in 3.0 edition), the humanoids with some celestial blood in their veins. |
