An Epic level party will fight against something powerful and evil, probably a demon prince or an evil god or something.
For those of you familiar with the rules of D&D, use this as an opportunity to try out that concept you had for a Dragonborn Barbarian multiclassing into a Warlord with paragon multiclassing or whatnot. For those of you unfamiliar with the rules of D&D 4e, use this as an opportunity to see if you like the game.
I have some guidelines though:
1) If you need any help making a character, tell me.
2) No more than 3 characters if you're an experienced player, no more than 1 character if you're new. I don't want the turns to get too hard to keep track of.
3) This may seem selfish, but please stick with material that both you and I own. If you do not own the PHB3, for instance, don't use a pirated PDF to get access to PHB3 stuff. The only exception is the PHB. I own copies of Manual of the Planes, Martial Power, Player's Handbook, Player's Handbook 2 and Monster Manual, in addition to several issues of Dragon magazine.
4) You must be neutral good (NG) or lawful good (LG) in alignment. No being Neutral or Evil along the good-evil axis, no being Chaotic along the Lawful-Chaotic axis.
5) As many people can play as they like. I'd like a small army, or as close to that as possible, to attack the villain & dozens of henchmen.
6) Characters need not have interacted at all in the past; by the epic tier, everyone at least knows of everyone else and this can just be like a superhero teamup thing where everyone teams up against an epic badguy.
7) Stick with default D&D4e lore, please. No being a Drow Ranger named Drizzt Do'Urden from the underdark of Faerûn, no being anything homebrew, no refluffing, for instance, a sorcerer into a more aggressive wizard.
8) Expect to die. A lot. I'll be biased and target people who have multiple characters over those with one, but I will not hesitate to kill off people that have only one PC.
9) You get 2,625,000gp per character to start off with to spend on magic items and whatnot.
If you're new to the game and can't understand character creation rules, PM me with the concept of the character you want to create and I'll write up the stats for you.
Post here if interested, guys. |

| Once I get a large enough number of people interested, I'll post info on what the big epic fight will be, and I'll PM everyone potential hooks to get their characters interested in the fight based on their backstories. |

Okay, Tails is in. Tails, make up to three characters.
Any other joiners? I want a small army to go up against a large army of badguys. |

Sure, but level him up to 28-30, please.
And your two other characters? |

| Uh I'll join. I have most of the 4th edition GURPS books. And some 3rd edition GURPS like GURPS CyberPunk that I use to write my stories with. |

| Maybe a magician that focuses on essential element spells. Wait does D&D have essential element spells? |

| The hell's an essential elemental spell? |

| Essential elemental spells are like normal elemental spells, except they can only be countered by other essential elemental spells not normal elemental spells. So normal water does nothing against essential fire, but essential water can extinguish it. |

| I have no idea what that is, but you've just confirmed that GURPS is nothing at all like D&D4e. |

| No idea what that is either. In 4e you just choose a race and class and you're halfway done with your heroic tier character. |

| Can I be a fire elemental? When people play GURPS they usually choose to be an elemental? |

| No. Forget everything you know about GURPS. This is D&D. Read the D&D rulebooks. |

| I'm in, possibly. I have a bunch of .pdf files of various tabletop/pen-and-paper games in my personal archive, maybe I can find a few that match up with what you own. |

| The closest you can get to being an Elementel is by being a Druid. Though it takes quite a few levels until you can in a normal campaign. |
