"The secret we should never let the gamemasters know is that they don't need any rules." ~Gary Gygax
Race, Class, Equipment, etc.: Limited to the Core Rulebook and/or the Advanced Players Guide only.
Point Buy: Epic Fantasy, 25 points.
Level: Level 3 with max hit points at new levels.

1 gold coin = 10 silver coins
Background Story: The player characters in the party should be role-played as; good, cooperative, loyal, life-long friends. Ideally with shared goals of becoming Heroes to the people... and should they gain wealth, fame and power along the way all the better! Any further background detail is up to your creativity and imagination!
If you don't own it yourself, I have Hero Lab to help create your character.

Roll Bonuses: GM may add bonuses to player dice rolls that accompany especially entertaining and/or clever roleplay.
Experience: Experience Points from Monsters, Traps, and Hazards are cut by 25%. This is balanced by additional Experience rewarded for roleplaying, teamwork, and creative planning. For example:
5-Foot-Step: If you are only character engaged with an enemy you can't avoid attack of opportunity.
Encumbrance: Size only, not weight. No coin weight.
Combat Maneuvers:
Spell and Alchemical Components: The cost for any spell that contains an “M” component and no listed cost is 1gp per level per use (keep track and purchase when able.)
Location: Game Master's Home, Independence, KY
Attendence: Noon to 4pm sessions every other Sunday. Please be considerate to the group and make all possible sessions. Family-life always trumps gaming however, so if you are going to miss please let group know ASAP.
Food: Snacks and drinks will be provided. If more staple food is ordered everyone participating is expected to cover their part.
Calendar of events: Members can check acebook for official scheduled events. Please accept or decline all Facebook Event Invitations so group is aware of upcoming attendence.
Golden Rule: Everyone is expected to treat others with respect.
Inclusivity: Sessions should be inclusive; unless your solution to a challenge demands it, parties should make an effort to stay together. If party characters must split up then it is up to individual groups to regroup as soon as possible so that other players are not left waiting.
Final Jeopardy: ( Cue theme music ) Occasional challenges will have time limits to help keep the fantasy of danger and excitement alive. In these unique instances if the GM feels too much time is being spent deliberating on actions he may bump up enemies initiatives.
Note: If minors are present profanity and adult topics will be avoided.
