I kinda want to ask if anyone's interested in a D&D game

Since we've started liveblogs and everything, I figure other methods of entertainment aren't out of the question. But I'm not sure how many experienced players I could get here, considering how few regulars we have in the first place, and I'm not sure I trust an online game to hold out after what happened with the one I ran and the other two I participated in. Plus I don't know if I want to DM.

I would consider heading to Giant in the Playground or something, but I think a game with people I know already would be more fun, and I don't know if I have the time to commit to another forum.

All I know is that I want it to happen, but I know already that it probably won't happen, so I'm a sad panda. And that just bugs me.

    I am Dr. Ned who is totally not Dr. Zed in disguise.
    I'd have happily said yes, but I've never played before so :(

    I might be interested.  I've been interested in playing D&D for a while, but I haven't had the opportunity, as my friends aren't into it.

    I would not mind playing but I don't have the books.

    Well, part of the problem is that I would prefer experienced players, as I was thinking of starting a level 6 gestalt campaign (that might be altered to some degree as time goes on). Though I could certainly accommodate newer players, as long as they stick to the schedule and learn quickly, and hopefully some others (like INUH, Cygan, and/or funnyguts, if they see this) could help.

    (I'm not all that experienced myself. o.o)

    ^ Would PDFs, acquired through Perfectly Legal Means, suffice?

    Which edition would you like to play, so I could spend some time getting my self up to speed after I acquire the books needed before the campaign actually starts.

    I was thinking 3.5. For all its balance issues, I like the mechanics more than those of 4e.

    Just the core 3.5 books right.

    ^ Uh . . . hmm. I had yet to decide if I was staying core or not.

    ^^ I've DMed for well over a year; it's just that it wasn't all 3.5e, and I've never raised a group past level 8 in that. But I've looked at optimization stuff and have a decent idea of how to run such a game, or if I'm feeling insecure, I could do more research.

    And besides, I was hoping someone else would at least share the duties, hence why I was even less sure if this could happen.
  • snowbullsnowbull

    Ah, okay. So not actually inexperienced.

    I can't say I'd really have that sort of time commitment, or that I'd even be interested in actually playing D&D.

    @IanExMachina: If you want to play, that's fine. There should be people who can help, as long as you're willing to learn. It would just be easier with more experienced people, but this campaign is already asking a lot.

    @Counterclock: Did you play with a group besides the Jammies group? If you were referring to that, you didn't actually play, so you might have been good at it for all I know. In any case, if you would have happily said yes, don't let inexperience get in your way.
  • CounterclockCounterclock

    I'm interested.

    Quick line of question.

    1. Can you play as a Cat.

    2. Can you play alongside a cat?

    3. Can your cat play alongside you?

    4. If given the choice to decide your morality, can you opt out of this question as you don't want to streamline your character to a vague set of moral choices?

    ^^ 1. Some DMs would allow it, but unless the DM severely altered the flavor of some other class, a house cat would be impractical.

    2/3. Yes. Druids and rangers can take animal companions, and sorcerers and wizards get familiars.

    4. Depending on your class, I could downplay your character's placement on the alignment axis.

    ^ The games would likely be played through an IRC channel. Preferably one with feepbot.
  • CounterclockCounterclock
    Belief
    On 4. It's not that I don't mind the alignment axis, and I would plan consistent logical reasons for everything my character does, but's it's not really something I understand that much to be able to match it to my character.

    What I'm saying is, you can call my character (Alignment B) and I wouldn't mind, just I don't think I could use it.

    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    You could always go PbP.

    Okay. But keep in mind that your alignment doesn't define you; your actions define your alignment, so it's up to the DM, in part, to decide which is the most fitting.

    ^ Hm. That I could. The only trick would be getting all the players online at once in fights and stuff.

    PbP does move slowly.

    Here's where I couldn't really be a player, due to timezones. But... A fight shouldn't take overly long, if you don't start everyone at Level 1.

    Luckily I wasn't planning on it.

    Truth be told, I already had a character concept in the works, which is why I was hoping not to be the DM, or at least not the only one. >_>

    For as often as I get saddled with DMing duties, I much prefer being a player.

    @IanExMachina: Aw. Damn. Well, you're online right now. How long are you going to be on from here, do you think? If that is a sufficient amount of time, a battle could be finished, even while you're looking at other threads, for all I care. And once that's done, you can get back to other business and reply on your own time.

    Assuming we do PbP.

    Well, I would like to participate, but if you'd rather not have to deal with new players (I have at least read the Player's Handbook) that's alright.

    I don't mind new players, actually, for reasons stated above. I changed my mind from the OP.

    I can help you out here, actually. More experienced now although it's been a month or so.

    @Everest Have you thought of making a short, like, short, PbP campaign to see how it would work?
