That is to say, meet online--via an IM service--at a predetermined time once or twice a week and play D&D, as run by me?

Well, to those without it, I can provide the corebook in .pdf format.

...Either that, or hop on to your friendly neighborhood file sharing program and look for the Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition corebook, frequently abbreviated to D&D 3.5e Core or some such.

I've got a rather intensive plot already lined up. When are people available?

Can't participate, but those of you who haven't played before will find this helpful (everyone else probably will, too).

The chances of me ever being able to make a time are infinitesmally low (something around 10 or 11 EST weeknights would be best) but I am very interested.

...dang. I have the 3.0 corebooks. Well, does anyone know if the differences between 3.0 and 3.5 are too large for playing? If they are, I can just buy one from the store, I guess.

foe someone like me who focuses on the RP elements its no big deal BUT, ther are rule lawyers and power gamers i know that MUST HAVE CONSISTENCY!!!!

so it depends on the group...

Your books should be fine. Discrepancies will be handled on a case-by-case basis, where my book (the 3.5 book) precludes yours.

Times, people, TIMES. When?

not wednesdays or friday nights, i have rp those nights already.

Okay, character creation is a little different. Since I see you guys playing exceptional characters, we're gonna do the following:

Standard character creation says you roll 3d6 for each of your stats. I say, roll 4d6 for each of your stats and keep the highest three. In addition, roll up 8 numbers (instead of the required 6) and keep the best six to place as you choose into your stats.

Let me know when you're done.

Oh, and I'm thinking either Thursday or Sunday nights, either after 7PM PST.

oooh, this is the system i used to use and if you were a n3wb you'd get an auto 18. but yeah.. i'll roll one up soon. lvl 1's and any legal class right? im not sure what i want to play so i'll go off what other people are gonna play. and wheres the world gonna be set?

too many questions at once? groovy. and both nights are good for me, id perfer sun though, i think. and how long would the sessions be?

Fax Celestis · Post by **Fax Celestis** » Mon Feb 06, 2006 6:53 pm

Level three, actually.

I'tll be set in the Barony of Atarcy, a fictional place that I'm still in the process of creating (almost done, actually).

And yes, all classes are alright. (If you've got the DMG and feel like being an Aristocrat or Expert, those're cool too).

Conglacio · Post by **Conglacio** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 5:06 am

If I can work ork how to do this, and if it is on sunday night, themn I will join if I may

Post by **Scott of Hyperborea** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 7:59 am

Thursday would be acceptable. Sunday might conflict with my real-life D&D game on a regular basis so we'd have to see.

Conglacio · Post by **Conglacio** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 3:04 pm

ok, been looking at the site and......I gave up

Won't work, then. You expect me to have sessions more than 2 hours on schooldays for those nights?

It needs to be earlie than that. Sunday would work if it was earlier, and Thursday is unfortuanatly my heavy day, although I'm free after 6 EST then.

Fax Celestis · Post by **Fax Celestis** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 5:41 pm

Perhaps Friday nights, during my show then? 5-8 PST?

Rarkasha · Post by **Rarkasha** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 6:03 pm

5-8PST on Friday? Sounds good to me. Two questions:

1)What chat program will we be using?

2)Anyone want to discuss what types of characters they're thinking of creating? Might be a bit awkward if we had three of the same race and class.

Bill3000 · Post by **Bill3000** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 6:13 pm

How about 6:30-10:30 PST instead?

Fax Celestis · Post by **Fax Celestis** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 6:26 pm

Sounds fine.

And yes, discuss, discuss. //points at the 400 Wing.

Bill3000 · Post by **Bill3000** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 7:00 pm

Paladin, of course.

You know, I'd like to create a Micron Race for D&D.

Fax Celestis · Post by **Fax Celestis** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 7:07 pm

Not in this campaign.

Bill3000 · Post by **Bill3000** » Wed Feb 08, 2006 7:51 pm

I know, but it doesn't solve my desire for creating the stats in general, anyway.

Fax Celestis · Post by **Fax Celestis** » Thu Feb 09, 2006 10:04 am

//again points at the 400 Wing.

More than willing to help.

And we'll probably be using AIM, since that's what most people have. I'd like to use IRC, except that 1. I don't think I could find a server for us to use; and 2. I don't think we all have IRC already; and 3. the one reason I'd want to use IRC is for a bot we could use to roll dice right in the channel, instead of rolling dice by ourselves.

You can do it with AIM, too.

Doesn't AIM only roll d6s though? Can it roll d10s and d20s?
