This is the beginning of the Wiki for Aldra's Guild. more to come...
Tim wondered what it would be like to bring the concept of fantasy league baseball or similar
team management systems into the D&D pen-and-paper world. After a year of mentioning it back
and forth every month or so, we decided to give it a shot. The idea is this: generate a stable
of PCs, randomly generated to represent the upper 10% of the population, and treat them like
a football team, with different characters having different specialties. Jobs will come up for
the guild from time to time, and the guildmaster (Tim) must figure out how best to staff those
jobs with the characters at hand.
It sounds simple, but we are generating a ruleset for handling long-term injury, we are working on
economics for the guild, and I have to come up with a whole slew of interesting and challenging
missions for these guys to go on. Personally, I think it sounds great.
We have figured out how to seed the characters randomly, we have picked our sources (Core Rules plus
Complete series of sourcebooks), and we have generated our first batch of recruits along
with a great guildmaster.
As the name of this wiki is Aldra's Guild, you have probably guessed that our Guildmaster is
named Aldra, so click on his name down there to meet him.
Oh yeah, the other interesting thing is that we are running this thing using all sorts of goodies we
found on the web, like this free wiki bit. We also have a blog set up over at Adventurer's Guild,
so feel free to check that out as well.
