which PD guilds are also RP based? any server

I'm sorry I missed your question before. It's Chai's fault. I don't have an answer but I think it's a worthy if not altogether viable combination. At first thought, you might think PD and RP are a perfect pair, but I'm not sure. The times I tried it, our groups had different ideas of what RP meant. Also, rerolling a character might not be much fun in RP. Say the group has progressed to level six or so...what do they do? Everyone reroll?

I'd say, send a private message to Lessah and ask her. She's into RP and PD. She may have a better answer. If you find what you're looking for, let us know how it works out.

Chai = bloodninja ?

The only RP/PD guild I know of was on Cannith but are no longer active :/ They had an interesting set of rules, I wish I had been able to play over there more.

Yeah I gave their ruleset a look over during the time I was researching PD before I made my decision on where I would play. I wasnt so down with the favor of the gods thing. Its a good idea in concept, but I cant imagine the management effort that needs to go into something like that.

I think RP and PD can mix. In NWN on our PD server (Myth Drannor), there was a guild of 60 or so players that were RP. The big myth surrounding RP is that you dont go into combat much, which isnt necessarily true.

In their dungeon crawls, they would use phalanx tactics while their leader Sarge would bark out orders from the second row, and they would literally move through the dungeon at crawling speed with a few scouts up front, rear guard tanks in the back and the casters in the middle. Nothing like turning a regular level 3 dungeon into an epic millitary march into the underdark.

rolled a character last night and went online looking for Halls of Valhalla members but didnt find any

it seems to me that RP would go perfect with PD, i mean losing the character if they die is the ultimate RP imo and most of the common rules seem to favor RP; grouping within guild only, limiting vendor interaction and specific "game" type items all lend to making the game more "realistic" which i think RP does as well (by realistic i mean more like an RPG and less like a video game)

Also, rerolling a character might not be much fun in RP. Say the group has progressed to level six or so...what do they do? Everyone reroll?

why would a whole group have to reroll if 1 dies? if the guild's of decent size seems there would always be a fair amount of lower lv characters to restart with. thats one rule i dont get; i see on alot of guilds if 1 character dies the group has to abandon the quest and restart it? why would they do that? if you are playing pnp dnd and 1 character dies, everyone doesnt quit the game. i thought PD was to make it more like authentic pnp.

anyway PD/RP seems like it would be fun and challenging, maybe not for my main gaming but as something to do like once a week so i'll keep checking the listed guilds and try and find one that suits me.

Extreme Explorers on Sarlona looks cool but Sarlona is my main world and id rather have my PD characters on a separate one

There are no large and active RP PD guilds though. You'll be lucky to find six players that want to do the RP PD thing that can actually play at the same time. Hence my comment. Not saying an RP PD guild couldn't work, but someone needs the will and energy to create and nurture such a thing.

If they did they got 0 xp per kill and no loot drops. All risk 0 reward. Oh, and a level 3 mob can still kill a level 6 toon when you have to roll your hp every level and theres no +20 heroic hp for a level 1

A level 6 wizard on our server would have ~25hp. Thats one good crit from a level 1. It wasnt nearly as distorted as what you see in DDO.

We, The Doom Brigade on Cannith, have had a permadeath section now for a month or so. That means that the majority of us have non-PD characters as well, but the PD chars are untwinked to be on equal standing with each other.

We are also a lite RP guild so if people are looking for RP & PD that would be possible with us. ("Lite" there meaning that not all the groups or guild chat are RP, but if someone wants to RP or sets up an RP run we play in-character.)

We are not a large guild, but we have about 50 active members and I think about a dozen permadeath characters. We are active on US and EU time zones.

Facts in here in the format op wanted (even though I guess the opening post is no longer active?):
Server - Cannith
Guildname - The Doom Brigade
Guildleader's Forum Name - voidholder
Guild Website - http://thedoombrigade.eu

Warriors of Valhalla PD is the continuation of Valhalla Permadeath Guild.
KG has been MIA for months, and he did not name a successor. So you can remove that one from the list.
