Sure, SRD content is fine with me. Some of the 3rd party content is kinda iffy IMO anyways.
And if nobody objects, I think I might actually want to take a crack at DMing first. I've had experience with a group using this episodic type of DM rotation before, and I've got a good idea on how to get the ball rolling.

glitterboypilot As for character creation, I say a point buy of ?? and max hp... that way we throw out possible batched rolls for creation But the botched rolls are part of the fun, are they not? I say you should have the choice between standard point-buy and 5d6 rolling. I'm fine with that.

Not raising my hand for this game but just my 2cp, the point of point-buy is that everyone is building with equal resources. Perhaps more to the point, you're mixing standard point-buying and above-standard die-rolling, which thoroughly defeats the purpose of point-buy equality.

I see your point... :/ I don't usually use point-buy, but I'd still like to keep it open as an option. Would a High Fantasy point system be more fair in this case? Although, there's still the chance of getting poor rolls, even with 5d6.

Going all one way or going another is one thing, but mixing them can be problematic. If it's a group of DMs, put it to a vote.

Alright, so I went and researched this a bit.
I have to say, I find 4d6 D1 or 5d6 D2 as more realistic than point-buy.
In the end, I find neither one truly "fair", though....
Still, I'll take a vote.
I'll put it up above for anonymity.

Fairness occurs when everyone gets the same chances to succeed.

I agree with the others. Point buy IS nice because it gives everyone an equal chance at being effective. And if you're offering such a nice method of dice rolling, I would also recommend upping the points you have to spend in point-buy.
Yes I did see the poll and I cast my vote, just throwing my two cents in.

Looks like we're doing 5d6 drop lowest 2.
I will be working on my Tengu Ranger now....

Tengu Ranger, what a coincidence, I've been considering making my Oracle a kitsune, lol
