Thunder on the wind!
A no holds barred, fast moving campaign to explore. Gaming events will be conducted as single session games ending with completion or failure. Characters may join, leave or die at any point. Experience (and treasure) will be awarded liberally to those who survive. ;P

I was waffling a bit on that I actually meant High fantasy but we’ll go with epic for the first characters.
Also – I am assuming that by Heroic point-buy you mean “epic” (25 points?) and not “High Fantasy” (20 points)?
I am open to all classes and potentially all races. I have a scheme in mind for working folks into a game and look forward to introductions. How the other players and NPCs react to that class or race may be an issue. everyone will start at first level for the first few games. I will not be starting this “campaign” unless we need to fill in game sessions as people drop out.
Should I go ahead and make a character for this, or do you want to do it when we’re all together?
Also – If I wanted to try out the new Cavalier class and specialize in mounted combat, would that be to difficult to work in?
