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

Chagen

Where the fuck do you find a group at all?

Hatter

Classmates.

All Nines

@Chagen: General question to everyone? In my case, my friends and I wanted stuff to do for hangouts and eventually I got the idea to try running D&D. Haven't looked back since.

Then another group, made up of family friends, invited me.

Then Zersk gave me the idea to run the Jammies game after I bitched about my meatspace group a bit.

Then another friend told me how ironic it was that, in spite of all the times he poked fun at me for playing D&D, was in a group with his parents, and he figured it would be okay if I joined.

And then I was in two more games on TVTropes because I signed up.

Not sure about Hatter's case, though, but if it's a group that can't progress, it's better off dissolved, and the setting reserved for another time.

Also, correction of an above post; I have, in fact, run a tournament-style battle before. Eight-on-eight, my PCs against various monster groups that were holding the tournament within a town utterly incapable of defending itself from so many of them. Didn't last very long, though; we lost early and decided to pull a Time Skip and go to Epic tier (this was 4e).

Hatter

If we used something like BFRPG, I could run my campaign for you guys, PBP style.

Nova

I should write out the setting I've been working on.

glennmagusharvey

What's BFRPG?

Hatter

Basic Fantasy Roleplaying Game.

It's 3.5, but retro and rules-lite. And it's completely free.

All Nines

I believe we're still waiting on Counterclock.

After that, I have an idea for what to do, if I DM for a group, but I'll have to adjust it depending on what level the group wants to start at.

ClockworkUniverse

I think Counterclock was mostly done creating a character, but hasn't posted a sheet.

Hatter

I'd like to start at level 1.

Hatter

Now I remember. I came up with a pretty good concept campaign setting that was inspired by Labyrinth, Army of Darkness, The Thing and the Elder Scrolls. It's generic enough and vague enough that I think it could work, especially for a horror-themed game.

TheConductor

I'd like to play DnD with you guys...I can even use my fancy, expensive character generator to build you all character sheets.

Hatter

I already posted a link to a good character generator.

All Nines

^^ Cool. Hopefully INUH can accommodate an extra player. If not, we can give you a heads-up when a different campaign starts.

That reminds me, I was gonna change Killian from Elf to Halfling.

ClockworkUniverse

I can probably manage six characters.

All Nines

If I run a game, four to six sounds good as well.

So, what, INUH game: Six

                                                   /                               \

funnyguts: Four-Six                                                                                          Everest: Four-Six

Wicked223

*borrowed a set of edition 3.5 books and would like to actually use them*

All Nines

So, let's see . . . people who've expressed interest in playing and might be able to follow through:

*Everest

*Counterclock

*Forzare
*delta534 (Haven't heard from him in a while, though)

*INUH

*Hatter

*Vorpy

*BlackHumor

*glennmagusharvey

*CaptainFargle Left over irreconcilable differences with this site's policy and his views.

*funnyguts (Not sure if he was interested in actually being a player, instead of DMing, though).

*TheConductor

*Wicked223

Looks like we're gonna have to do a role call soon. That's 12, 11 of whom were expressing interest in playing.

That's too many for INUH's campaign, but about enough to stretch the limits of what funnyguts and I run.

delta534

I'm still here, just been waiting on news.

Hatter

If I did a campaign, I could take some of your players off your back, if you're uncomfortable with the number of people playing. I'd need a bit of prep time - it being story driven, after all - but I think I could do it, if anyone's interested in a campaign inspired by 80's metal and artwork.

In any case, DMing or not, I think I'd like to be in Everest's campaign.

Forzare

I'm still here/interested.

Hatter

Interested in velociraptor knights and Yiddish space cat people, perhaps..?

Chagen

"I can probably manage six characters."

How exactly does a DM's workload increase as the number of players increases?

All Nines

@Hatter: So . . . since you didn't seem to think survival horror in D&D was the best idea anyway, wanna run your game alongside INUH's, and then funny and I can run ours, while at the same time leaving yours open to keep going, and possibly INUH's, who knows?

^ Fights take longer, assuming an adequate balance of monsters to threaten a group of six equally as a group of four. And experience and treasure might become more complicated. In some ways, it's easier, in others harder.

ClockworkUniverse

@Chagen:Combat gets more drawn-out, and you have to balance the encounters to fit them.

Also, the scenario I have in mind simply doesn't make since above a certain number of players.

Hatter

Whatever. I'm perfectly happy to be a DM or a player. Or both.

Chagen

I'd join a Maid RPG game if it was PBP. 

Though I don't actually have a copy of the game itself...

DYRE

Then... download it and read it?

ClockworkUniverse

If someone wanted to run the unofficial Pokemon tabletop RPG, I'd totally play. Cygan tried to run a PBP awhile back, but it fell apart before it got out the door.

Chagen

"unofficial Pokemon tabletop RPG"

OH GOD

THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE GREATEST IDEA EVER
