Now that Khyber's Harvest is ended (and I want to take a break from doing Thunderspire mountain because it's driving me insane) I've decided that over the summer I will be doing a bunch of Oneshots that are easy for me to manage.
I already have Minun on board with a Halfling warlock.
To join up, do the following: 1. Ask to join on this thread. 2. Make a level 3 character for D&D 4th edition using only races and classes from the Player's Handbook 1, you have 100 gold to spend on equipment and you get a Potion of Healing. 3. Try to clear your schedule for the day I am doing the session (not decided yet, but I will give you about a week's notice). 4. For god's sake show up to the session.
Also, try to keep class composition fairly even, so I don't have the party getting their arses handed to them. |

| Half the reason Khyber's Harvest was ridiculous was because the party had three strikers and two leaders and no defenders and no controllers. |

Yes Tim, I know. That's why I'm asking to keep class composition fairly even.

| No, that's why we should do a five defender party - to overcompensate from last time. |

| Yes, I forgot to mention, base your character around the military. |

| That would make the controller role difficult to do because the only controller in the PHB1 is a Wizard, while an easy and quick way to get your character thematically involved with the military is to use martial classes. In fact, I don't even think that a martial controller even exists, and so whoever's assigned the controller role will have some thinking to do. |

| Your more in a special forces kind of unit, so that may make it a bit easier for them, as having a person good with magic in a fantasy special forces unit is almost necessary. |

Oh, okay.
Also I just realized that the PHB1 restrictions mean that I can't play either Gnyrn nor Orryn, so I'll need to make a new character if I want to join.
Also people if you don't want to make your CS yourself I'll do all the stats for you because I think it's really fun. |

| So, what's the storyline of the oneshot going to be? |

Your a Special Forces group being sent in as a strike team to deal with a slight Orc problem in a noble's keep.
That's all I'm giving you. |

| Okay. Can you give us background information on the world, though, so that we can make our bios more engaging? Please focus specifically, in giving more background information, on the war fought between two nobles between fourteen and seven years ago, lasting seven years, which resulted in a number of villages being conquered by one of the nobles and the disgrace and bankruptcy of the other; and on the various historic conflicts (and the economic/geopolitical reasons behind them) between various Orc tribes leading up to why they chose to occupy the noble's keep. |

| You need a realistic geopolitical backdrop to set this against. |

There's... Plenty of Orcs to go around if that's what you're asking LNG.
And Tim, don't worry, I'll think up something. |

Ahue.
Hopefully tim and I can get along better this time, because hopefully we will have the same goal and are working together in a strict military unit. |

Wow, Roblox is blocking Roll20 links now?
Both of you join Khyber's Harvest, I'll send you the link through there. |

| How many Oneshots will you be doing before Thunderspire Labyrinth? |

| We need two more people. We already have two strikers, so no strikers are necessary. I've agreed to play whatever role is leftover, so the next person to sign up gets to choose between a defender, controller and leader, and the one after that gets to choose between the two remaining. |

| Anyone know where I could get a good pdf of 4e's rules? I've been playing 5e this whole time, and I see no reason not to take a step back and give it a shot. |

| It's a vastly different game, but http://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/161671/Players-Handbook-4e?manufacturers_id=44&filters=0_0_44827_0_0 should have you covered. |
