This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Hi, I'm 21, fresh out of college, in dupont circle and looking for players. I know that odds are I won't find anyone here, but there's no harm in trying. I will be running a TOCC campaign and right now I am looking for three to four players. TOCC is based on D&D 3.5, but the combat is a lot more exciting and runs faster. If you know how to play D&D then it won't take you long to learn TOCC.  Games will be weekly or biweekly on Saturday afternoons.

TOCC is based on D&D 3.5 with smoother and more exciting combat options. Most players will also find that their characters are more customizable. This is mostly accomplished by replacing PRCs with feat chains and feat clusters and rewarding creativity. In some ways it's best to think of TOCC like a physics engine. In combat characters can be hurled back, exhausted, and crushed while parrying, dodging fireballs and raining down destruction. This results in very cinematic gameplay that rewards player creativity without resorting to GM fiat.

I admit that the rulebook is very long, but don't worry, once we start playing it will make sense. Also don't forget, D&D's PHB is still a heck of a lot longer, and that's also an easy system to learn.  Now onto the campaign pitch.

The campaign is set in Minos Guard, a city located between two hostile empires. Minos has survived this long era of warfare, by remaining as neutral as possible, and funding as many competing factions as they can. Nearby Janger barons and Ghaein chancellors owe much of their wealth to the offerings this city provides, and all vie for sole control over it. Your characters will find themselves caught in this conflict, and it's up to them to decide what to do.

The campaign begins with a series of disappearances and talks of monsters in the night. The elite guard of Minos are strangely unresponsive, and the normal guard have not proven up to the task at hand. The captain of the guards has issued a reward for information leading to the capture of these monsters, and even more for anyone who will solve the problem for good. Interested?
TOCC, a free alternative to D&D.
