Dungeons and Dragons
01:54:06 Sep 24th 07 - Mr. Exsul Impurus Iii:

Anyone play it, I just started trying it.

Wondering if anyone wants to try to play it online?


01:58:43 Sep 24th 07 - Mr. Elsin:

Far too much dungeon, not nearly enough dragon.


02:12:36 Sep 24th 07 - Mr. Mako:

I will.


02:59:08 Sep 24th 07 - Lord Arzun:

Agree with Elsin, if Fizban were the DM I would play /\/\


03:46:32 Sep 24th 07 - Crazy Xuaron:

lol looks like we found Fizban's play mate :P


16:20:07 Sep 24th 07 - Mr. Alexander The Great:

what's the website name ??


19:16:14 Sep 24th 07 - Mr. Exsul Impurus Iii:

theres no website... we would agree to go somewhere or use a program (most likely) to all play together on specific days. Although we could attempt to use a forum, though im not as fond of that idea.

So what only 1 person wants to play?


20:32:06 Sep 24th 07 - Mr. Seloc:

D&D not a popular game not many people have it.


21:32:44 Sep 24th 07 - Sir Fizban:

Back in high school, I used to play D&D 2nd edition. Back when we had things like, "Armor Class" and THAC0 and Saving Throws. Then when 3rd edition came out, I had already graduated and stopped playing. Now I just read novels based in the worlds.

Though when I did DM, I was voted 'Most Sadistic DM' in school. I guess when my players were trained to search for traps in every room and ask if there's a cliff or pool of acid in the next random direction they're fixing to travel in I earned that title. ;-)


21:51:04 Sep 24th 07 - Mr. Exsul Impurus Iii:

Well so far ive only played 2nd edition, If you wanna play it would be fun. Yay sadism!


21:59:04 Sep 24th 07 - Sir Fizban:

Well, if we were to do this, I'd want people that have the 2nd edition rules (I've got 3rd Ed books, but I've not seen a game of it run, so I'd rather stick with what I'm comfortable with.). I also want some 'serious' RP-er's on this. Anything that runs along the lines of Septim's Bar and Grill will face major sadism or a Torrasque. Depending on what mood I'm in. ;-)


22:37:49 Sep 24th 07 - Mr. Exsul Impurus Iii:

We are using fantasy grounds, you can prolly grab it off thepiratebay.org

 

its got stuff like dice etc. Though if you know a better program would love to hear it.

Also, have the 2nd ed. PHB plus some a monster manual from 2nd ed. A few other additional things from 2nd also.


23:56:30 Sep 24th 07 - Sir Ragnarr Stormguard:

Oh damn,...always wanted to play the real boardgame,...never got even near to seeing it or to getting enough money,...


02:51:27 Sep 25th 07 - Lord Arzun:

I have the new books... and I would RP seriously if it ever popped up. IGM if you guys ever play it, cause I would love to play.

And keep Swifty out of this thread >_<

*Septim curses at Fizban

"Fine...I'll put on my serious RPer face..."

*Septim pulls out a Jimmy Carter mask and puts it on

"I'm ready..."


03:40:41 Sep 25th 07 - Sir Fizban:

Well, do we want to do it over the forums? Bear in mind, I can do the forums a bit easier on the weekdays (and from work) and I'm rarely on over the weekends (anyone playing werewolf right now can attest to that).

If we use the program, I'll be limited to whenever I'm at home, and we'll have to set times up, etc.


04:13:01 Sep 25th 07 - Mr. Exsul Impurus Iii:

Alright... what times are people free to play first?   If no agreeable time can be made then probably use forums. Though honestly ive never done forums before so not sure how it would work. Im guessing it would go...

Player A > Player B > Player C > Player A

So whos interested in playing and whos interested in being DM? (im leaning towards DM being fizban)


09:04:26 Sep 25th 07 - Mr. Seloc:

I would play but I don't know how....


10:37:50 Sep 25th 07 - Mr. Mako:

I would prefer to play using Fantasy Grounds. If needed I have most of the AD&D 2nd edition books in pdf format.  I can put the common ones on my site for download if people need them.

Fizban, do you use standard or skills and powers option for character generation?  Also what campaign setting would you be using?  If DL, I want to be a kender!


13:55:08 Sep 25th 07 - Sir Fizban:

Hmmm.... let's see here. I think I'll pick..... *Fizban looks at his name*....... Forgotten Realms! ;-)

Nah, it'd probably be Dragonlance 4th age. I'll pretend the 'Age of Mortals' doesn't exist except in Weiss' books and not until she brings Paladine back.


02:30:45 Sep 26th 07 - Lord Arzun:

IF IT IS DL I AM PLAYING FOR SURE :D

Wow Fantasy Grounds looks amazing... but it is costly... any way to pirate it off Piratebay?


02:47:51 Sep 26th 07 - Lord Arzun:

09:59:22 Sep 26th 07 - Mr. Opium:

iv played 3rd ed and 3.5 but never 2


14:12:03 Sep 26th 07 - Sir Fizban:

Natalia, do you want to be a cleric? I can find some robes that'd be tailor-made to m...err.. your tastes. ;-)

I'm currently bored with VU, so I want some other amusement. Though if I ever figured out that online Magic card game (not the official one, but the other one) I'd probably be playing it.

I'll have to get the above-linked program at some point.


15:06:03 Sep 26th 07 - Ms. Natalia:

*looks up at fizban about to say something mean then shuts her month again*

What does a cleric do?


15:40:25 Sep 26th 07 - Sir Fizban:

She heals good people and then clubs bad people with a staff/mace.


16:03:39 Sep 26th 07 - Ms. Natalia:

what kind of outfit?


16:12:52 Sep 26th 07 - Sir Fizban:

They mostly wear robes, though the actual appearance is up to the player. It can be some woolen thing to some silken gown-like robe.


16:36:23 Sep 26th 07 - Ms. Natalia:

ok what kind of outfit would you like to see me in?


18:32:30 Sep 26th 07 - Mr. Seloc:

neither.....


19:12:23 Sep 26th 07 - Ms. Natalia:

omg! i can't believe you of all people said that, i was talking to fizban


20:53:40 Sep 26th 07 - Mr. Xiax:

Seloc actually means nothing, so take it as a compliment.

I always wanted to try playing D&D, though the most experience I have with it is reading a lot of forgotten realms books and playing several games based off it, like Baldur's Gate I & II, and Neverwinter Nights I & II. I'll try it on Fantasy grounds so if you guys host a game tell me!


21:32:06 Sep 26th 07 - Mr. Mako:

Fizban,

What part of the 4th age are you thinking of using?  Before the War of the Lance, during or after?

Anyway I'm uploading the PHB, DMG, a few monster manuals, and a book on DL campaign setting to my site. I didn't read what era but it'll help people who are interested in learning something about the setting.

I'll post a link to the download later once it's finished uploading.


21:38:01 Sep 26th 07 - Mr. Mako:

17:11:59 Sep 27th 07 - Ms. Natalia:

I gathered he was talking about nothing, thats why i was shooked.


23:59:17 Sep 27th 07 - Sage Trynton:

id play, but i have no idea how to play real D&D. ive played baldurs gate and neverwinter nights so i know how the system works and stuff, but never played tabletop style


03:42:01 Sep 28th 07 - Mr. Mako:

Imagine those games but 1000 times better, well if you can get past not having graphics and having to imagine everything going on.  The ability do use abilities in a creative way, talk your way out of trouble etc is great. 

It is really easy to learn the game too, though the game itself takes awhile when playing online. Basically all you need to know to play the game is in the PHB (Players Hand Book) which is included in the zip file I added above.  Don't worry you don't need to read the entire book to play just follow the instructions for creating a character and read a little on the combat section, and if you're playing a mage or cleric you'll need to go through the spells you can learn.  I don't recommend anyone makes a cleric though until we find out what part of the 4th age Fizban plans on using, as pre-War of the Lance there were no real clerics, and probably won't be allowed if he's using that.


21:13:53 Sep 28th 07 - Mr. Exsul Impurus Iii:

Alright I finally got my internet back...

 

So fizban are you gonna DM? If so what rules?

And are we using fantasy grounds or forums?


16:09:01 Sep 29th 07 - Mr. Exsul Impurus Iii:

btw fizban did you mean apprentice?


20:00:57 Sep 29th 07 - Lord Arzun:

Fantasy Grounds is amazing... if you can learn how to work it I'll worship you : )


07:02:38 Oct 3rd 07 - Mr. Exsul Impurus Iii:

Seriously, lets set a game up. What times are good for people?


23:32:17 Oct 4th 07 - Sir Fizban:

Oh, so here's where the thread went off to. I'm fixing to head home. Anyone going to be on around 9 pm est?


23:38:34 Oct 4th 07 - Mr. Xiax:

I just might be, on a bit later than that.


00:08:24 Oct 5th 07 - Sir Fizban:

Anyone who's interested, try to get on the VU IRC server @ 9 EST and join channel DnD. We'll figure out what we want to do, what medium, rules, etc.


02:15:50 Oct 5th 07 - Lord Arzun:

Alright all people interested please join IRC chat room #DnD

http://visual-utopia.com/irc/irc.asp


02:38:28 Oct 7th 07 - Mr. Mako:

Wasn't around to meet in irc what was decided?


00:23:52 Oct 8th 07 - Lord Senturu:

dude, i played once. they told me i was an increadibly stupid troll, so during a fight i was in. i did

*strolling into the arena Senturu looked around him. seeing the banshee that he was about to fight. Senturu hefted his club and began to charge the banshee, but noticing a fly flying accross his face senturu stops and waits. the fly lands on Senturu's nose. Senturu raising his club smashed the fly between his club and his face. nocking himself out, but killing the fly*


03:05:51 Oct 8th 07 - Mr. Varik:

19:34:06 Oct 8th 07 - Ms. Natalia:
