D&D anyone?

[Elanorîn]

Okay, I have this idea and I know I run the risk of being pelted at with stones and quite possibly burnt at the stake and hung drawn and quartered but I'll take that risk coz personally I rather like this idea. (And quite frankly whoever doesn't... )

Basically I am an avid fan of D&D and I would like to get a D&D game going on here run properly with a DM and dice rolls. Naturally it'd be very heavy on the roleplaying we all love so much but any combat and other skilled tasks that occurs as part of that would be ruled by rolls and the game run by a DM the oldfashioned style. So my basic question is, is there any interest here for this? Would anyone like to play or should I just scurry away elsewhere shamefully with my oldfashioned non-freeform ways? Anyone experienced in DMing and who'd be willing to take this on is more than welcome, if not I'll do my best, though I haven't done it before. But generally I want to know thoughts and general feelings on this. It would involve you rolling up your characters 'properly' and provide the char sheets etc with stats and so on. Sounds too much like hard work? Or just a load of fun? Let me know, but please don't burn me.

[glow=blue,2,300] well i personally have never played it, but i know of it, and vaguely how its done. i wouldnt mind more infor on it and such and being taught by the of so masterful elan lol! wel meh, im int he middle really, i will agree if people are up for it, the majority, but if majority agaisnt meh i go that way really. everybody put a view view! ^.^ tee hee *glomps Elan* >.>....<.<....*points at Bravo*..he did it ;D

bwuhahahaa!

Kit...>.>;;[/glow]

;D Nice Kitteh *pets*

I know many people regard D&D with suspicion (and is that fear I smell? ) I'm glad to hear there is an open mind among us. Hoooray! Teh kittums is free to be corrupted by my D&Dness! ;D

I'd be only too happy to teach the ways of the game to anyone interested to learn it. I am currently playing D&D on *coughs violently* forums and it works really well in this format hence why I'd like to kick some life in to BR and do the same here.

With the forums you don't need all the players online at the same time, the game will continually move along and the posting order (unless there is a fight) is pretty much wild. Should some people not be able to log on regularly (say to post once a day or in two days) then the DM can drag their chars along NPCishly to keep them in. Baically the game is like freeform RP but set in the D&D universe, with certain races and beasts etc. And a set of rules for how to deal with skilled movements and combat. The events influencing the characters are controlled externally by the DM. Launching various nifty monsters and other funness. ;D

While I have only played for 6 months I am currently player in two games and in the planning stage of DMing a third so I would love a chance to give it a go will all of you lovely BR minions (and admin of course ;D *gives dragon-muffin^TM*). I can DM it unless there is a burning desire elsewhere, and come up with a campaign. I haven't got one at the ready to advertise now as I still don't know what the interest is like, but should there be enough of you up for it (we'll need three players +DM preferably, but 2+1 works as well) I will plan one and set it up. Posting the world setting etc for you to create your characters. I will naturally help out with that for those of you new to the (to put it lightly) confusing entity that is character sheets. But it is all worth it in the end for the sheer sense of realism the game gets when regulated properly.

Perhaps this is also a good time to announce that I am phasing out my CC activities. I know I haven't been on half as much lately as I used to and frankly this thread is partly the reason why. My heart lies in D&D and I'm growing tired with the endless n00b arguments in freeform (not to mention just bad players). And so, I am diverting my roleplaying attention elsewhere. Hence this query.

As for the further information you requested, Kitty, I'd be only too happy to post a guide to how the games are run and what is reqested by the characters etc, and I will do so as soon as I see the interest here. Give me two players at least to kick it off. Just twoooooo little players. Pwwweeease! But the best ever way to learn is while you play. So come on people, let's get some fun going on here again!

*ish glomped and has a giggle fit, then pelts a pillow on Bravo, then gives him a big wet kiss*

Oh, and love the coffin-ey style crosses symbol thingies.

[kittie]

[glow=blue,2,300] ;D why thank you! took me a while to igure them out lol and well i would certainly agree on the reasons for not going on cc as the same for my own reasons as not being around on there. other than irl issues. Elan i would love to go through this with you bravo and calli first, see the views and ideas on setting this up, then put it through to a public voteums? how many would go and join it how many wouldn't, that kinda thingy. tee hee ^.^ i need something to do i guess, other than sitting here bored and lonely for a good few hours when i haven't got a thing to do! ^.^ so yea, file me and the other admins the info and how you wish to organise and set it out, and we can all discuss it over and get round to sorting it for you ^.^ and yes i am a free minded person lol, i give everything one chance before judging! if i like it, i will stay, if not, simply leave heh ^.^ so yea, giveums info, and requests on how it should be set out, and we can all see what we can do!!! ;D

Kit [/glow]

[Calli]

Give me basic info and stuff on D&D universe, the chara sheets and rules bases and I' all for it >> -joins in on the pillow pelting-

You all know that my activity shalt be limited! A half-hour every other day if that >>

Yup... very open to a rp where I don't have to be on constently <<

Callers.

[Elanorîn]

Thanks guys (or girls ). I will prepare a biiiig posty on the information front. Naturally I can't post the entire D&D rulebooks but I will sort something out that should give you all an idea of what I am talking about. Expect it to be a few days in preparation though but it will come! Meanwhile, any further interest, please let me know but so far there seems enough to get a game going. I will do the work to lay down the basics, for the specific technicals we'll have to deal with that In Game.

[Elanorîn]

Alright... so what's it to be? Anyone wanting to make a character yet, or adapt an exising one? Come on... I'm bored! *tantrum* I know the info I posted is sort of minimal but it's easier for me to answer specific questions rather than just post till the cows come home.

Also... I'm completely open for any plotline ideas. So post/PM/IM me.

>.>

<.<

Please?

*sticks finger in air*

sorry for being absent, but did I get it right and do you get to keep yer own carry, just with dice rolls?

I GM a table top RPG myself lately, and I got rather fond of dice systems, makes things more fair (t is hard to no auto-hit this times, since everyone dodges it else anyway)

Atleast, it'll be great to start a plot, my fingers are tinteling

*tintle*

[Bravo]

D&D sounds fun. o-o So I'm up for it.

As for creating a charry if you can walk this idiot through sure. :3

Wheeeee!! Another dice-believer! *glomps* Ehm... sorry... *backs away and brushes clockwork off* Got a bit carried away there. Yeah, you can keep an existing character as long as he/she fits in the D&D setting. Who did you have in mind?

Oh dear, a tru real life GM! *shakes in boots* Ehm... then you're probably way better than me at this. I'm just a measly inexperienced player who wants to get a proper dice game going.

Sure Bravo, how about we do it over msn/yim eh? Unless you want me to walk your through it on here... it's up to you. You could always lead by example for anyone else wanting some help.

*tintles too*

[velmir]

Lill ol me would quite like to join in as well. Rusty tho. I am compared to the venerable Elan GM person. After a while I may get thehang of it

*pounces and hoards another player* Wheeeee!!! Welcome Velmir-kins! Wow we have enough for a big party now.

Bravo and I have started toying with using CC dice when building his character. It works really well and so far it is the best idea I think to keep them open.

[Elanorîn]

Ok, just wanted ya'll to know that Bravo has finished his character and seems to be getting the hang of this pretty well so for building your character you can grab him too and ask him stuff if I'm not around.

I will hope to get the world description up asap. Hopefully it will inspire you. I hope you have all come up with some vague idea what you want to play. Please let me know so I can sort things, we can't have a party of 5 rogues for example.

[Bravo]

And I'm on most of the time during the day. My IM programs I run and SNs should be in my profile.

And the Human Monk is mine!

[glow=black,2,300]To tell you the truth.... I'm really intimadated. I'm worried about screwing up! O.O for the love of the gods I need some grade A help. I like the idea of a magic user. Maybe Elven, though this I'm unsure of.... Damn, guy's I'm so new to the actual D&D experance! -crawls under a rock with embaressment- [/glow]
