Joining the trend of D&D campaigns...and to occupy our current players while we're so eagerly awaiting the days we can actually play in respective IRC campaigns. I, Keylo, am thinking of running a forum based D&D campaign (with occasional IRC dates for important battles and the like).
For purposes of not putting too much stress on myself however, the following things will apply:
With that said:
Here are the campaigns I am currently thinking of running, and a quick description copied from their advertising!
1)Rise of the Runelords
Description
Starting Level: 1
Stat Creation: 4d6, take highest 3 for each stat, OR 32 point buy. Max HP up to level 6, Max Starting gold. Maximum LA +2.
Length: 1-Epic
Difficulty: Varies, but is notoriously difficult for certain portions.
2)Curse of the Crimson Throne

Starting Level: 1
Stat Creation: 4d6, take highest 3 for each stat, OR 32 point buy. Max HP up to level 6, Max Starting gold. Maximum LA +2.

3) Eyes of the Lich Queen

If interested please cast a vote as to which module you'd prefer. That or send me a long and convincing pm as to why I should run another module instead. Any questions?
For purposes of not putting too much stress on myself however, the following things will apply:
- A. The campaign will either by a singular module, or a prewritten adventure path with my own liberties/fluff.
- B. The system, regardless of how Pathfinder is arguably a far more balanced system, shall be 3.5 as I'm more familiar with the latter (so I'm not running to the PFSRD every post to double check things.)
- C. The only books I will allow off the bat is Core and PHB II and anything from the actual adventure path.. Completes are generally allowed, but must be discussed/screened by me first, the same goes with spells from Spell Compendium. Other books "may" be negotiated, but know that I am far less likely to approve them.
- D. I will be limiting the party size to 6 maximum(may be changed), so as to ensure posting efficiency. Note this is not first come first serve (in the event that I actually get that many interested players), but rather based on how well I am impressed with your character in terms of depth and detail. So please don't throw cardboard cutouts at me.
- E. Player rolls shall be either conducted via the Invisiblecastle Die Roller (or some other die roller that can openly display the result), or handled by me personally. Players are free to decide which one they prefer.

1)Rise of the Runelords
Description
In the sleepy coastal down of Sandpoint, evil is brewing. An attack by crazed goblins during the annual Swallowtail Festival quickly turns into something more ominous as the shadows of a dark past come back to haunt the town—and perhaps all of Varisia. Can the heroes stop the awakening of a legendary runelord and keep him from reclaiming his lost kingdom of greed?
The Rise of the Runelords Adventure Path begins with a goblin attack and takes players on an epic journey through the land of Varisia as they track a cult of serial killers, fight depraved backwoods ogres, stop an advancing army of stone giants, delve deep into ancient dungeons to reclaim weapons of unbelievable power, and finally go up against an all-powerful wizard-king in his ancient mountaintop city.

2)Curse of the Crimson Throne
Description
The king is dead! In the Varisian port city of Korvosa, the death of a monarch leads to chaos, and only the PCs can hope to save the city from its own darkest tendencies. As the rule of the young queen grows more and more draconian, it's up to a band of bold adventurers to stop the spread of tyranny before all of Korvosa is crushed beneath her iron fist.
In the Curse of the Crimson Throne Adventure Path, the heroes delve into the depth of urban adventure in order to stop riots, combat a plague, root out organized crime, and rescue political prisoners before escaping to the harsh badlands of the Storval Plateau, where only the friendship of the barbaric Shoanti and a weapon drawn from the heart of a gothic castle can give them the strength to return and depose the evil queen once and for all.

3) Eyes of the Lich Queen
Description
Copied from a Review
Eyes of the Lich Queen is a campaign/adventure book designed for the Eberron setting although with a little creativity and work, it can really be dropped into any fantasy campaign of your choosing if you do not play in Eberron. You'll require all of the standard books to play. The adventure is designed for four 5th level characters although five or six may be more reasonable. This is a good ol' fashioned quest adventure with the players seeking an artifact called The Dragon's Eye. The ancient artifact was created during the age of Demons and its said the Eye can give the holder total domination over dragons. The dragons are none to happy about someone finding the artifact that had been considered mere legend. They set out to find the Eye for safekeeping. Meanwhile, the lich queen Vol is dead set on finding the Eye for herself and has set her agents about finding the artifact.
