Aww... okay. Have fun.

if people are complaining about uber and nerfed charecters(because of dice rolls) then do this. make all of the rolls 18 and then -2 each time eg 18, 16, 14 ,12 ,10, 8
this makes a fairly decent charecter roll and is a little uber but its not bad.

Isn't that better than the standard ELITE ARRAY?

I've always wanted to play a DnD campain, got one of those starter sets, and only me and a friend of mine were interested in playing, with him waining interest.

Now its just me.

I have some rule books and the like, and i've tried Openrpg but could never get a game running because no one could be trusted.

only 1 character has 'nerfed' stats, and thats because - Survey says : They chose to be a halfling monk, which gets +2 Dex -2 Str... That IS in the PHB.

The only character that's "Uber" Rolled an 18 and a 17, in front of everyone.


Everyone else has average stats. not to mention the character who has the lowest over-all stats, is a rogue, with the most skills.


We currently have 4 characters, unless one of you who actually made a character quit. Later tonight, same time as yesterday, I will be helping to finish that character at which point all 4 characters are finished.


My friend rytokii was the last person still IN FG last night, and he really wanted to play, so I started him early, in a separate house, to add a bit of plot. it is saved. Friday is game-night, tonight it is for finishing characters... I will be doing a roll-call later, right now i'm kind of in the middle of stuff...

Today: Joining the game is purely optional. it is just practice.

the only person who needs to join, is whoever's character it was that didn't get a proper set of equipment... you know the "F-ing your mom for 4D8" attack.... whoever that was, you need armor and weapons, then your done. If you already know what you want for that, Post it here and i'll fix your sheet without you, and we'll be ready to play tomorrow night.

Oi, I was wondering if anyone has a tablet and good or even okay drawing skills could help me out here. I have a rudimentary map that is sketched out, but I want it to look nice. When I am able to scan it, would someone be willing to use it as a reference to redraw the map but make it look really good, as well as colored and such?

EDIT: Miles I may or may not play but I won't be making my character tonight. Too much stuff to do not enough time to read through your WALLS OF TEXT

Miles, I have another friend joining. So that brings the party size to... 3 now?

Midget Ninja Terminator for the win!

My friend from school might join.

everything for tonight is on a temporary hold. I have things going on right now at 8:50... Will post when finished. Busy

Wait, so are we just practicing today or are we playing?

practice... it a bit....



Everything done in this session will be PRACTICE: Nothing done in this session will carry over to the actual campaign in any way. This is to get used to the flow of game-play. IE How to play D&D... I have a minor Crash-course in my mind that teaches even the trolling noobs how to play. Character creation today will only consist of giving 'winston' his equipment. Anyone wishing to join the game, who was not present Yesterday, Will be on there own for character creation.


For a refresher on how to make a character:

Roll 4D6 drop the lowest die, and total it. This will result in a number between 3 and 18
Do this 6 times. Place them in your Str Dex Int Wis Con Cha scores.
Next choose your race, and class. Determain racial bonuses, and Hit die.
Find your class abilities (Such as spells or sneak attack), calcluate how many skills you get per level (Included in the class description, such as 4+Int mod * 4 at lv 1, and then 4+int mod every level), Find what skills are class skills (Class skills cost 1 per rank, Cross-class is 2)
Decide on your feats, and equipment, find your base save/base attack bonus (by class), and fill in all the holes.


Back to today, Today will consist of nothing more than getting used to the game. todays practice session is at 24.252.244.27 starting in a few minutes. It takes so long to load because it has to load all the modules.

Aha! My ports have been forwarded and I can now DM via OpenRPG! Join #D&D on the IRC if you are interested in a ♥♥♥♥ awesome and semi-thought out homebrew(or "I made all this cool stuff and stuff by myself for those not familiar with the term) campaign setting. Char creation is rather simple and we will usually have like 3 experienced people able to help you in simple easy to understand non-WALL OF TEXT terms. If you cannot get on IRC, send me a forum PM, though being on IRC is better because I sometimes randomly decide to play and its easier for me to reach you via #D&D.

I have a party of 4 players, all with finished character sheets, and now have experience. its not as wall of text as you think.


Max hit die for the first 4 levels
no divine casters, or anything that targets/controls undead
no barbarians.

Help is now available. the actual game begins tomorrow night at 9PM EST (6 PM PST?)

Other players are welcome, but must be able to either make characters alone, OR join late.

Haha don't be so defensive. I am not trying to steal your players. Calm down brodude bro. Relax. Unclench your anus. I am appealing to a hip new crowd. Buy my Potion of Eagle's Splendor, those big-breasted barmaids will be paying you.

Yeah anyway, I saw a lot of "I live in the middle of nowhere/ no friends want to play but I've always wanted to try." Well now you have the chance. Probably going to start tomorrow afternoon PST. Saturday after 5 PST is also looking likely. Feel free to join anytime, and if you need help, me, Me-me, or ComradePyro are usually on IRC long enough and are in different time zones so that one of us is usually on. This is not counting FalconX, demetrius, or Alenth. So we very nearly have 24/7 support.
To give a very bare-boned description of the campaign setting: Goblins, Lizardfolk, and most human nations are in a tried and true alliance. Their lands are constantly endangered by Dwarves, Drow, Dragons, Gnolls, Giants, Trolls, other Human nations, and unrelenting alliteration. This setting is a huge departure from the norm and will surely be a unique experience. The major emphasis will be fun, with at least an adequate amount of roleplaying.
