Dunenewt Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 Okay I will definitely be playing as a Ranger now. Could someone recommend some good websites to look at so I can get an idea of how this game works? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Gotenks absorbed Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 *ooh* *ah* So much Telekinetic/PSI/psychic stuff! I want to learn how to play eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Well yes, but most of the psi stuff is really uncommon and doesn't get used very often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunner154 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 Considering how many more spells exist in D&D, and how many of them aren't combat-based, I'd prefer to go with a Wizard instead. The long-term flexibility is quite important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Yes, not to mention that wizards have access to a wide variety of mind-affecting spells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edric O Posted May 17, 2008 Author Share Posted May 17, 2008 Well, erm, I haven't been on MSN as much as I wished to, or should have... :-[And everyone seems to be busy with exams at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timenn Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 I'm still interested. I have been on vacation the past three weeks, though it seems nothing much happened around here anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windwalker Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I hope you are still alive with this project. I'm even in for a one on one. Been playing and especially DM'ing in DND myself for 10+ years.Hope this is not thread necromancy, but necromancers are good parts of rpg's anyway.I will be in and will play in any medium and possibly any time.So please still be alive...

gunner154 Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 That'd all be up to Edric O... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dante Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I did send a message that I might be interested this time around. He didn't get back to me. Possibly busy plotting the downfall of the west. Very Sauron of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edric O Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 Ah, yes, this project. I would still be interested in running it, but as Dante said in his IM to me, we'd have to find some imaginative way of doing it... and we have 3 months to think of one, because I definitely won't have time for it until late May or early June.

Dante Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 The main problem is time. We don't have enough of it, and that we do have is spread across an uncomfortable distance.Soooo, real-time running of the game would be possible, but difficult to achieve. The alternative is that it's run as a normal Fanfiction RPG, however this method poses serious challenges. Firstly, we would almost certainly end up in a position where the entire team is waiting for one person to post, and that person is taking a few days off. Secondly, combat would be a nightmare. Rolling for hit, rolling for damage, mitigating factors, discussing problems with the DM... Nightmare, seriously.Both of these options seem impractical to me, so we have three months to come up with some sort of middle ground. I have to admit, I'm at something of a loss. Most of the actual RP could be done here on the forum, but that lacks a certain... liveliness that I expect a live game would provide. Combat is fast paced and has a lot of steps, it would need a way to take place quickly or be changed so that a slower pace does not significantly alter the game. This might change the game beyond the scope of DnD though.I'd like to add for the record that when I graduate I'll be available at about all times too. Probably.

Dragoon Knight Posted March 18, 2009 Share Posted March 18, 2009 Here's a thought, borne of the few "preparation threads" that have existed in Fan Fiction in the past.We could have three different threads - one would be the main "story" thread, where Edric would be the sole poster. He would begin by outlining the scenario (like he has done at the start of this thread).Then, there would be a sign-up thread - rules for signing up would be put here, along with guidelines on creating a character (could take some pointers from Cyborg's Junigard sign-up thread for this part). Anyone could join in at any point - it would just have to be incorporated into the storyline.The third thread would be the "discussion" thread, where we would all post our thoughts on what to do next. This would allow turns to be thought out and actions decided. Then, when a consensus is reached, an elected "spokesperson" would either post the official decisions, or better yet, IM Edric with the actions to be taken.Edric could then do all of the rolling of dice behind the scene, maintaining a sense of creative license as opposed to relying on hard numbers or having to trust everyone to be honest. Then, once the results have all been calculated, Edric would post in the first thread with the progression of the scenario - more discussion would then follow in the discussion thread, and so on and so forth. Any new sign-ups would be integrated into the next turn (or the turn after, depending on the amount of discussion and decisions made at that point).How does that sound to everyone (especially you, Edric :P)?

gunner154 Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Sounds great to me. At least we don't need everyone to be around for the story to progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
