Hey everyone. So, I've been toying with the idea of DMing a 4th Edition game where the party consists of a group of guardsmen in a City Watch. This'll be a very low-tech and low-magic game (at the beginning at least). The party will consist of martial classes pretty much exclusively (though I will consider others, but no guarantees, of course). There won't even be a huge amount of combat, and what there is will be done with weapons like clubs, short/long swords, spears and halberds. You're guardsmen, not warriors or assassins or mercenaries! This game would focus mainly on investigations, day-to-day police work and various interactions and characters. I want to have fun, so some wit, flexibility, quick thinking and maturity is required. I certainly don't intend for this to be a "serious" campaign, and will be throwing humourous things at you, but that's not an excuse to derail the game, of course. This campaign would be suited to creative players who enjoy coming up with interesting characters and who have a good time exploring a city setting with their fellows and solving puzzles. This is still just in the concept stage right now, and I'd be more than happy to hear your feedback, suggestions, tips, recommendations, etc. I'm GMT-0, no set time for the game yet (to be decided). Before you even apply, there's a few things I expect from my players, and some of them go without saying (or so it would seem, but after playing with quite a few people on here it seems that it DOES need saying): - No racism/sexism/homophobia, etc. - No rape "jokes." It's NOT funny, and never will be. - Keep it friendly. Joking around with people is fine, making fun of them for doing silly things is fine, but never be malicious. Never go too far. Learn where the line is and then don't cross it. - Don't argue with me during the game. If you have an issue with a ruling or something I make on the fly, bring it up AFTER the game. I can't stress this one enough. I'm completely sick of people completely derailing a game and putting it on hold for 10 minutes while they throw a hissy fit. Just don't do it, please. - I'm the DM. What I say goes. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but sometimes tough love is necessary! Anyway, send me a message if this idea catches your interest and gives you that spark of creativity to come up with an interesting character. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them!
