Use one of the D20 D&D3.5 downloadable online NPC generators to generate random organic NPCs for your city. If you want too make custom NPCs. Then get nearby cities and towns to do the same and keep it going! 2. Use the standard method for character creation. Standard PHB races and classes unless allowed by the DM. Get some players. Be honest. Redblade 3.5 is a really good and small Character Creator. We may have to got to a 28 pt buy of Attributes but for now it will be standard rolls. 3. Now start creating maps based off of real world geography. Use most of your main streets and waterways. If living in dangerous areas the cities need to be walled. Many of the bridges can be replaces by ferry crossings although huge bridges and landmarks should be converted into gigantic ruins. Add in the demi-human races and their areas. For instance in forested areas and parks add elves and gnomes. Any rocky areas add Dwarves and such. Don’t forget to add areas where the foul humanoids live. The world has to be still untamed. 4. We will use the core rulebooks at first and go from there. Heck use any D20 rulebook you want STEAL from the all! 5. Every Player and DM MUST contribute to the setting by writing up at least a shop or building in the setting. Yes the players help write the game making it more theirs. Remember to not go too far. Other Rules. Time units and Calendar. There are 365 days in a year. Unless the players want to write up a special calendar then we will use the standard earth calendar, as in days of the week and names of the month. There will be 365 time units that a character must spend as he plays. One day equals 1 time unit. A week is 7 time units. The starting day of the first official game will be Jan. the 1st. Year unknown until we come up with a story. Is Odd Earth a good name for the world? Odd as in Old Dungeons & Dragons? There is the ODDguild group out there and thier setting is called Odd Earth BUT I was the member who thought of the concept and name got not a bit of credit for it, so I am going to use it. New Skills, Feats, Classes, and Rule Variants in general will be judged very harshly. If your idea is rejected go rewrite it and then resubmit it. We are not trying to write rules we are trying to create a setting with the rules as the framework. Any artwork, poetry, and adventures will be used if possible with full credit given to it’s creator. This has to be the campy old school type of gaming mixed with the new rules. Dimensions of Odd Earth. The current fantasy age world of Odd Earth is full of multidimensional pockets and gateways. Oh the maps and geography are close to ours but the fabric of the dimensions are spongy and full of holes. That’s why on Odd Earth you will find many races and characters from many places and novels. OLD CUT-N-PASTE Hi I am Eldrad I live in Ragley La. and I also have group I want to start! It is called SWLA_Gamers and here is the Yahoo Group adress! http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/SWLA_Gamers/ All types of games and RPGs are welcome! I have alot of D20 tool links to make the player and DM have an easy life! I also have a setting called Lake Charlemagne which is a D&D fantasy version of Lake Charles. What I want to do with the setting is incorporate your old adventures, characters from the old days into a cool setting. Unlike established settings where you have to read 300 page books, Lake Charlemagne can have any and all sourcebooks used. You may meet Elminster or Dritz, fight a warforged, meet and dine with Chthulu(If the DM says so) When set up it will have a graveyard with your characters from the past complete with stories if you feel like writing it down. One major thing is respect for the "OG" which is the Old Gamers. Those who got all of us in it! Gamers from the 70s and 80s.
