[DnD 4E IRL: Schism] Interest/Recruitment Thread

My roommate and I are looking to start a campaign In Real Life. We both work in New York City, and are looking for players. Still reading? Specifics to follow:

The setting:
It was no mere war between mortals has caused the collapse of civilization. It was a war between GODS. While the standard pantheon from the PHB still exists, that is not the complete list. Others used to exist... and were slain during the war that shook the planes, and raged across this physical world. Blasted wastelands stretch as far as the eye can see, and god-spawned monstrosities prey on travelers between the few bastions of civilization. In this world, a religion isn't a box to fill on your character sheet, or a way to get some good Channel Divinity feats. The deity you follow changes the way people will see you, and how they will treat you. Entire towns are ruled by the religious orders that hold sway there. The breakdown of civilization has caused innumerable sects and schisms among the once-powerful churches.

Who will look after your soul in the afterlife? And will your choice send you there sooner?


The game mechanic specifics!
- Characters will start at level 2. Presumably they will progress in levels.
- To start, buy level 1 equipment as normal, then add 1 magic item up to 3rd level. Mix thoroughly.
- All races and classes from published sources are okay. Any Dragon content is usually ok, but run it by the DM first.
- All characters must provide a background for themselves in the Ten-Minute Background format. If you're not familiar with that format, look at this. If you wish to go above and beyond, by all means.
- Characters should be posted on Orokos or emailed to the DM to review, to make sure you lot aren't cheating.

The meatspace specifics!
- We will meet first at Compleat Strategist. If we find or you know of friendlier confines, we're amenable to moving elsewhere.
- The game will run monthly, on the weekend. If things go well and schedules work out, we can look into meeting more often.
- We will not be using Maptools as a fall-back option. We both play in too many online games, and want to get some quality face time.

So, if you're interested, post in the thread! Any questions? Post 'em!

    I think there is a D20 game that mixes magic and present time better then what 4e will give you. You might want to check it out.

    To clarify: New York City is an actual place, where people (such as myself) live and work. We are looking to start a regular Heroic Medieval Fantasy 4E D&D game using the default Points of Light setting, that meets in NYC in real life, not play by post or MapTools. We are not seeking to adapt 4E to play in a modern setting. Apologize for any confusion.
