If the timing is right, I'm in.

I'd be in and the forum thing does work.m You can get all the manuals online for free, but maybe not so legally. Also there's online dice rollers if we do need to roll dice. And yes I have played this way before and it can be awesome.

The website I listed seemed pretty legit and legal and had most everything you need. Are you gonna DM for us, CF?

Also I've done the Pbem and that takes a lot of work for the DM. I've both DMed/storytelled that way for both D&D and one of the World of Darkness games, Chcangeling:The Dreaming I think but it could of been Vampire: Dark Ages as well.

Key is making sure everyone is posting /emailing a certain amount a day.

CF if you have DM experience I'd happily cede to you. I've never been a player before and I look forward to maceslapping Draugnar in his silly head.

I'm with YJ - if it's not live what's the point of trying to pull off old-school live D&D style gaming?

I'm in (live).

I've DM'ed before as well - be an interesting challenge, perhaps, though I can just imagine the absolute hell of trying to keep a group organized and in control that aren't in front of me. Not sure the old ticker could handle the stress...but the thought of dragging all your minds through a krellin world...heh heh...makes me smile...

I'll have to bow out of DMing since I just frankly don't have that much extra time guys. Not enough to do a good game. But if YJ does this one I'll do the next.. trading off seems to be best and hopefully I'll have more time then.

So, CF, you will be playing then, not DMing? Draug will you enlist?

YJ.
krellin.
CF?
Draug?

Sorry draug, I missed your question regarding timing. Let's just establish interest first and then I'll do a doodle poll to see what time works for everybody.

This looks like it would work great!

nice

Yeah I will be playing. Next question is which game, rules etc will we be playing?

I've been told that roll20 is great. Never used that myself since I haven'tdone any of the online stuff in quite awhile.

I will look into that, CF. I think D&D 3.5 is a solid default.

Can we use GURPS instead ?

A couple other questions to help those interested prepare would be how do you want to start characters? I'm assuming we will roll them up through the DM somehow, but will we be starting Level 1, with 0 exp? Or to make it a bit more interesting do you want to start at some higher level (so casters have a few options and don't get beat down with the first stray arrow...)? If that is the case, then I'd probably want to go pick up the 3.5 books and start prepping out my character with the allotted <x> experience points we start with.

Definitely level 1. Early levels are best levels.

I already started learning the roll20 system, loowkey. Are you in?

YJ
CF
krellin
Draugnar?
loowkey?

Level 1 <rubs foot in dirt...shrugs...> Ohhhhh-kay...

Can I at least be your monkey boy?

You planning on using the video chat functionality?

Maybe after we get used to it. I think text is fine until we all become familiar with the system.

Uh oh....I think we're going to lose YJ to roll20 before we even start...

I'm in

'twas a dark and stormy night...

So that's 3 players at least. We could go forward with that, but Draugnar, what do you say? Should we include you for now and see if we can find a time that works for everybody?

Not between now and new years. After, though, I can probably find a time.

Like I said, I don't know how to play it but I'm up for it.

DND is a matter of roleplaying. You don't so much have to know how to play as how to act your part and do fun stuff. Instead of saying, "I cast 'spell of swords'", say "I raise my staff and call out to mighty Crom sending forth steel sword after steel sword stabbing at my enemy's heart!" Then, instead of saying "you missed" the DM says "Um, actually, they were all rusty and crumbled to dust on your enemy's chest plate."
