Anyone up for a New Game?

[Patrick MacFarlane]

I asked about Dungeons and Dragons a while back and had some positive responses so If anyone here is still interested or wants to sign up now, then we can get a game going. Definitely open for new players, we just need a good Dungeon Master first.

[Rin]

I may be interested.

 

[John Henry Eden]

I'm game

 

[japan77]

I'll give it a shot.

 

[Amaryllis]

I'd really like to try

 

[NerdDragon]

Can I join?

 

[schirminator]

Sure. I've never played it before but I'll give it a shot

 

[LSU Tiger Josh]

ok I'll give it a go

 

[Galactic Manatee]

Yessssss I'm always good for a D&D game!

plus you want a max 4-8 people per game or so because then shit just gets confusing for both the players and DM. 

As far as DM'ing is concerned, *cough* @Sabastyn *cough* (I doubt he'll do it btw but it's worth poking the bear to wake him up) My laptop died as well so I am not really in a good spot to DM at the moment ? 

 

[Rin]

Actually, I'd be much more interested in being an assistant DM/GM. Design characters and factions, world building, quests, maps, details and all that.

You don't actually want me as a main DM because my imagination gets everything EX-rated. The last game I DMed involved a plot with fleshmongers - something like necromancers, except they work with living flesh in a human centipede like manner.

@Alex ? @John Henry Eden @japan77 @Amaryllis @NerdDragon @schirminator @LSU Tiger Josh @GalacticManatee@Patrick MacFarlane

That brings us up to Nine. We will need a main DM, and Alex wants to be assistant; that gives us seven characters. 

What version do we want to play? I have played 3.5 twice and that's the only thing I have been exposed to.

Whoever becomes DM (and @Patrick MacFarlane might want to as well) might want to think about becoming RP master:

 

[Infinite Citadel]

Even if they don't want to be RP master, I can give mod powers to Alex and the primary DM assuming they need it.

 

[Galactic Manatee]

I think we should decide if we are going 3.5 or a different edition. I personally went from 5e to 3.5e to pathfinder. 

If we have newbies then I think 5e would be easier for them, but if for the most part we are all somewhat experienced we can go 3.5e. Pathfinder is a whole other beast altogether. 

 

[japan77]

Total newb here, but I'm pretty good at figuring out rule sets, so do whatever you guys want to.

 

[Rin]

Pathfinder is too hardcore IMO. I've never tried 5E though.

Like I said in the other threads, I'm a big fan of FATE for forum roleplays, because it doesn't require 15 pages of dicerolls just to get your first adventure done. 7 characters can really bog down a round.

FATE is also nice because you focus on building characters rather than min/maxing stats. D&D is a gamey game, like P&W, and any roleplaying just happens on the side.

Also I think we need some rules for posting rate - like everyone is expected to post once every 3 days or they'll lose their turn.

@Tormato What is a RP Master?

@GalacticManatee I would feel comfortable sticking with 3.5e if there aren't any players in staunch opposition to it. 

@Alex ? I really know nothing of FATE and would prefer to stick with D&D at least for this first game

 

[Rin]

Yeah that's fine by me. Just saying the options since FATE is an underdog. If we do D&D, we should seriously consider a live game. Which is not so bad honestly because we can bump/notify people on Slack now and use diceroll bots.

Oh how do we handle dice rolls now?

 

[Tormato]

RP Master organizes roleplays for the alliance to partake in.
