D&D on the forums

[JudgeDeadd]

I've decided to start a D&D game on the forums.
If you want to play it, reply with your name, your class (Fighter/Mage/Cleric/Thief), your race (Human/Elf/Dwarf/Halfling/Gnome/Half-Elf). Gnomes, Halflings and Dwarves cannot be mages.
I hope this will be fun.

Warning: Up to 4 players can be here.

Oh man, that's 1st or 2nd ed.  Why don't you just go back to chainmail?  CHAINMAIL!  I mean, THAC0?  Why put yourselves through that? Not to mention the complete cookie cutter classes.

Also, those stats you rolled?  I believe that those are mandatory reroll terrain, there.  The highest stat is a 14, no one's getting bonuses of any sort at all.  Really, consider 3.5, it much better.  I've played everything since 1st ed, as well as palladium, white wolf games, fudge, paranoia and Call of Cthulhu.  Do everyone a favor, switch systems and reroll those characters.

I stabeth you with my short sword +1 vs hermaphroditic Zombies!!111

[c.leksutin]

I belive this has been tried before, and as I recall, it didn't work out so well.

It might be a good AIM chat room game. If I remeber correctly, there's a d20 command.

[edmundito]

I rather start a text adventure.... err... I mean.... "interactive fiction". 4th edition rules. yeah. 4th edition.

You're standing in front of a mansion. The door seems to be closed shut. You see a rug, some shrubs, a mailbox... and that's about it.

> Search shrubs for berries to eat.

There are 2 blue berries.

> Pick up berries.

Unknown phrase: "Pick up"

> Take berries.

Unknown phrase: "Take"

> Quit

[stuh505]

scummbuddy,

you're missing the point...there's a whole new puzzle in trying to find the correct word!  that's more than twice the puzzles!

[Mr Jake]

Funny you should say that, atm Ginny is working on a bot that allows you to play Text Adventures with people over IRC

[Haddas@logged out]

> Get berries

You take the berries

[unlogged Isegrim]

To get back on-topic:
I'd personally like to, but I have doubts whether this would work on the forums within a reasonable frame of time...

[Gord10]

I'd want to play this game if it could on the forums well.

[Moox]

I would play aswell

You opened the mailbox

tell me what i see
i think that we should do that in chat room (i think this has been said before)


on topic
lol, me has never played D&D, oh well, i better try

Goél - Mage - Alien (no just kidding, Human)

[JudgeDeadd]

Okay, here's the first one.

You are in a small room, with walls, ceiling and floor made of wood. There is a small window here, you can see a forest when looking through it. There is also a door and a table here. On the table, there is a small sack.

[Isegrim]

I'd like to enter as a DWARF FIGHTER...

[BlackMan890]

well, what am i suposed to do?
maybe someone can explain to me the rules : and what i can do

[Isegrim]

D&D Roleplaying is not unlike playing adventure games. In a situation like this, you are most likely to look at your surroundings, be sceptical with the small sack, talk/interact with other players...
Eventually we will come across monsters which we fight (and maybe steal their equipment afterwards) and thus we'll gain experience.

I might as well demonstrate...
>I look for traps around the sack

If none are found (NOTE: The game master might throw a dice to determine whether I find the (potentially) hidden trap or not! That does not mean that there is no trap!),

>I open the sack to take a look inside and being a dwarf grab everything that looks valuable...
>I ask Goél who he is and what we are doing in that freaking cottage...

Btw. I'm quite a frequent role-player, although I haven't too much experience with D&D...

[JudgeDeadd]

Isengrim appears in the room all of a sudden!

[Moox]

I was a text rper at a few forums and I have played NwN which uses DnD Forgotten Realms

I wish to be a half-elf Ranger
