"Fear and Loathing in Greyhawk?"
"Okay, I was looking to play a character I'd grown to love the idea of in another game, but didn't get picked, so I'm still jonesing to play D&D, and I've got character concepts bubbling around in my head. I'm also, as I type this, watching Anthony Bourdain's No Reservations and they're doing a Vegas episode full of references to Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which I love. Hunter S. Thompson was one of the great american writers, I think, even if I'm only primarily familiar with a character heavily based on him(I've also started reading the book, but haven't finished).
Soo....
I'm looking for a DM who is going to indulge my desire to play a very out there evil(or at least morally questionable) character in a completely amoral, debauched Hunter S. Thompson-style game. If I can get my "Tome" gaming fix in this too, I'd be set. Other people are perfectly welcome to join, so long as they're not going to complain about the very likely possibility that my character and a prominent npc (I'd rather there be an npc based off of Hunter than play a character based off of him myself, and of course an npc that is our "attourney") will head off to brothels, drughouses and bars, and comeback with adventure hooks that people who didn't follow along had very little say in. I just want a good old fashion campaign with some intrigue, some dungeoncrawling, and some exploration, but with a dark twisted, Thompson-esque twist. To hell with nicities and moderation, we're adventurers!
So, the characters I'm kinda wanting to play are the following:
- Nocens, a Tauric Orc/D. Bat of legend Ranger4, probably about ECL 13, or so(by Raw it'd be higher, but LA and ECL rules are all screwed up.)
- Baragos, a Wild Elf Barbarian5/Berserk2/Frenzied Berserker3 or so, but that's flexible, especially if we do Tome.
- Or I could build something else.
