D&D
« on: May 22, 2005, 10:32:41 am »
Just wondering if anyone on here had ever played D&D, and to see  if there was any interest in an online run.  I've DM'ed for over 25 years, so I am adequate.

Total newbie here- only a year or so experience. We ran a few scratch campaigns in our spare time in Iraq.

I have Players Guides ver. 3.0 & 3.5.

If you can't locate enough REAL players, and can stand a greenhorn, I might be in for it, AS.

Played it and am playing Neverwinternights curently.

But my work times mean I probably wont be able to take part. As a Floater, I tend to fill in for other people who are off. So I never know what my off days will be.

Carney, and Khalee, it will be slow going, with one reaction per player most days, and PM's for private information, so both of you are more than welcome to join in.  I'll see if Sethan or Stephen, or whoever the powers that be, mind me running an online campaign and will give me a thread for it.

Perhaps it would be good to repurpose the  Taldrenite Haven NationStates forum for that as it is otherwise essentially dead.  Assuming that the Admins agree of course.

That's fine with me, I've already sent a PM to see if I am allowed to do this, and once I get the okay, I'll post the entry that starts it all.

I can't match that.  The AD&D hardcovers came out a couple of months after I started playing.

I am going to date myself...the guiy that introduced me to the game was the neighboring kid for Gary Gygax.  The first books I saw?  They were in a notebook!!  Used the Arduin Trilogy, and some other materials that came out later, as well, but I am partial to 2nd edition, and have been doing Dragonlance for over 15 years.

Carney, since you were the first one to respond, you can pick a year to start it.  That's right. Lets see if you can make it interesting.

something kinda MODERN, like this year... like 2005-2006. :P


*mutters* pick some kind of arcane ruleset just to pick on the new guy... ;) ;D

Come on, Carney.  Everybody likes to see the kids wet themselves after they've been potty trained.   Want a hint of what the run is going to be about?  Just say the magic word...

been doing this for awhile now, via mucks, and IRC actually. found pbems and message boards too slow for my tastes. most mucks I know have roller functions, and for irc its not too hard to find scripts to handle die rolling, assuming the one die at a time pull down is too slow for comfort.

The die roller is one that a friend of mine wrote the program for, and when I am not using that, I actually roll the dice while I sit.  Thus, the game does go at a decent pace.  I am a strict adherent of 2nd edition, as it is the system I am most familiar and comfortable with.

I loved Ravenloft.  Wonderful, fluffy little area of the world, with lots of nice places to visit.   And you don't need to buy the books, guys.  You can actually find the second edition online and download it!   I have permission to do this run, so I am going to do all the set up tomorrow, since I am off.  Anyone interested, aside from Carney, as he has already claimed a spot, please PM me so that we can have a good idea of who all wants to get into this.

PM me, and please also post on this thread.  I will have everything ready tomorrow to start, and will give everyone a day to read over what I post, and an opportunity to get familiar with their stats.  Anyone who needs help, let me know, I'll do so.  My MSN Messenger is benLuby@yahoo.com for those wanting to join.

Okay.  I'll start it tomorrow, and I'll post a link here to the run.  So far, only Carney, Darth Lyr and Lord_Sloth have said they are going to be involved.  I have five more slots, to start.  Let me know...

Well, if anyone is interested, I still have room for some players.  Just let me know what it is you are interested in.  I will send whoever is interested PM's, and the basic start of the story is already done.
