Welcome to Gaia! ::

Depends on what you mean by that

I prefer games being a bit of both. You need em to break up the other. Too serious and it can go full grimdark and sometimes slip into depressing. Too campy and lighthearted, there's no threat.

I'd say mainly serious, with a bit of lighthearted thrown in.

Honestly, make your world and ideas, then we make characters that go in it. As long as we talk and have reasons to work together, it's all good. Some may not even have grand scale goals such as world domination or anything. I know people who play evil cause they want to play the henchman to the evil overlord.

Speaking of which, what type of characters do the rest of you have in mind?

I usually play the neutral/lawful evil "mess with people to see what happens", think vault tech from fallout, but my favorite concept was a cat person (depends on what edition we do) henchmen who spends her days curled up next to or in the lap of the top-of-the-ladder guy/girl

I'm not really active here, mainly because 1. I know only of Pathfinder and 3.5; 2. I live in GMT +8, so I might drag the game a bit, but I usually have characters in my roster to fill in any, and my most favourite character in my game roster is my Sleight of Hand Rogue, stealing just for the fun. If you'd have me, you'll have to be careful with your pockets.

Is there still interest in this. I would be cool running a one shot to test the premise and see if everyone is really comfortable. Something that can be done in one session and let everyone be what ever kind of evil they want.

If it works out well, I wouldn't mind continuing it. Personally, if I GM, I would like:
5th Edition
Level 3-5 somewhere in that area. There might be a little randomization, depends on the players.
Setting is City. Probably something Ebboron or Keladesh like.
Would like to do this with Google Hangouts, Skype or some similar voice chat, atleast for the first session. If possible for the whole game.

I trust my players to keep physical character sheets and role real dice. If you need a reference or want to print on out http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/character_sheets
If anyone lacks the books to make a character

That is an open website produced by WotC that has the basics of the classes and covers most of the details you need. Anything more, and you can pm me for other class options not put up on the site, rules clarifications and any system related questions you may have in general. I am also happy to answer any world questions you might have.

For simplicity sake, I am just using the standard Array for stat generation. (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 ) arranged as you like. Should also note, that all races are available for play so long as they are from a WotC source. That means Core books, Volo's Guid to Monsters, Elemental Evils, and the Planescape races are all viable. If anyone lacks access to any of these, message me and I'll make sure you have the information you're looking for. Also, there are no class restrictions, and cross classing & feat optional rules are also being used. I am happy to make sure everyone has access to any material they lack. I may also be convinced to allow the use of the "Unearthed Arcana" test material published by WotC, just be sure to ask before assuming.

Unfortunately, my weeks are pretty well taken up, or I'd inquire more. Good luck with it though.

I know I'm still interested and I'm happy someone found this. I haven't been online in awhile but I'll be on more now. I would love access to Volo's and EE for this and will get back to you with a character concept at least ASAP
