Looking for players (& will be sharing ideas/looking for advice from the fine creative folks here:)

the 'blurb'

For thousands of years the Empire of Dhakaan dominated Khorvaire. The arrival of the Daelkyr heralded the fall of the goblinoids’ empire. Since that time, the empire has continued to rot away, becoming a mere shadow of itself; until now.

Many years ago, whether you were ‘recovered’ from a blood drenched battlefield, or emancipated from the slave chains of a hobgoblin warlord, or rescued from a goblinoid clan that, at your birth, deemed something ‘wrong’ with you & left you to die in a desolate area, the Goruk-taa’ (Seekers of the Past in the old goblin tongue) nursed you to health & offered training in any for you sought.

Years pass until you are brought before the council of seekers. There, an albino goblin, dressed in fine robes nods at each of you then speaks, “Years before the vile Lords of Xoriat, a hobgoblin prophet told the Emperor of the danger the was to come & how it would lead to the decline of the Dhakaani Empire---of the millennia that would follow that would see his great people back as they once were…savages…clan fighting clan. The prophet did offer hope as he told the saddened Emperor that a new Empire could be established. The first sign would be the breaking of a nation from which some of Droocha (Founders) would be gathered to join the people of the blood.” The old goblin looks at you, “Each of you are of the Droocha. You will go forth to find the treasures of the past that the Emperor concealed in many lands. Some of these are symbols to our kin that will remind them of the old ways…some are powerful artifacts that none who walk this land may stand against. Be wary, many factions of our kin & other, outside factions seek these treasures.” The old goblin smiles, “Enough with the gloom & doom. Tonight, after the ceremony that will mark each of you as a Blade of the Goruk-taa’, the council will decide who will be going where. Enjoy this night, eat your fill, bed your mate, for tomorrow you may die!”

At present, I am only looking for character concepts. Races allowed are:
Shifter
Warforged (scout & standard versions)
Lizardfolk (standard, poison dusk, & blackscale)
Goblin
Hobgoblin
Bugbear
Nightbreed (a nasty hobgoblin variant)
Gnoll
Littorian
Half-Ogre
Dagruun Minotaur (using Dragonlance stats)
(I’m willing to listen to requests of other races)

Don’t be concerned with ECL, as I’m modifying the listed races.

Also, no psionics.

This will be a dark, mature game. Any questions, email me or post at the group.

character creation info will be up later this evening at the 'group'

Try posting this on the RPG Gamer Classifieds board, thats where people looking for games are supposed to go, and thats where the majority of people will be looking for them will be.

Its typically considered innappropriate to make "I need some players!" threads anywhere but there.
