Um, isn't Sunless Citadel a 1st-level module?  So you're going to run a bunch of 7th level PCs through a 1st-level adventure that was designed to introduce new players to the elements of the game...

Yup. Mr. GC says it's impossible. I disagree. Looks like you agree with me. Let's see who's right.

I thought Mr. GC said it was impossible for those PCs to succeed against an encounter of appropriate difficulty.  I don't think steamrolling a 1st-level dungeon with a band of PCs 6 levels higher qualifies as a valid experiment.

Unless I have it wrong, and Mr. GC is saying that the classes are so gimped they couldn't even survive a low-level scenario.

Shouldn't you guys be hanging out in a liquor store parking lot trying to get someone to go inside and buy you something?

Fuck. Is it Friday already?

Why is this discussion still going?  In a new thread to boot.


It wasn't that long ago when 3e came out.  It is obvious that hundreds of thousands of players were able to play the game with fighters, rogues, etc just fine, otherwise I suspect we would have heard an explosion of nerdrage about how no one was living past their first adventure.  Since we all know that that did not happen, GC is full of shit.

So why are we still having this conversation as if to prove him wrong?  No one here needs to prove him wrong.  History and the thousands of gamers who played and still play 3.x already do that just by the fact that they exist.

For the love of the gods, just ignore him from now on.  I gave up a long time ago that he would ever show me a half dozen CR 10 monsters with a BAB of +35, and until he does so, it's better just to ignore him.

The world wonders.

I like making characters. Can I use 3d6 straight down instead? Or 4d6 take the lowest?

I'm interested in playing, but I haven't played via forum before, so I've got a few questions.  Like, how are we going to handle dice rolling?  Are we going to use the combat grid?  Any houserules we'll be using?  Any restrictions on races or magic items?

Yes, yes, all these brand new accounts registered in the past week are itching to play this.


Not dubious at all...

I'm not sure if you're full up by now or not. If there is still space, I would love to join in. I've always been interested in trying a forum-based game, and building characters with restrictions is always fun.

Socks belong on feet, or in sealed biohazard bags.

As luck would have it, I'm currently running Sunless Citadel with characters made via the Pathfinder starter set...these characters are MUCH weaker than "twinked out" characters from all the PF books (one guy shows up sometimes with his level 1 character, 2 attacks a round, high initiative bonus, multiple high skill, draconic-speaking fighter, and everyone looks at him strange when he pulls yet another odd ability out of an orifice).

No real risk of death so far, but lots of fun...Meepo and, well that thing he's seeking kinda bit it last week, I'm kinda curious what the group will do next.

When Justin posted in his blog that he would run a game online, I wanted to sign up.  I had never bothered to register here before, as I generally prefer sites whose regulars indulge in fewer cusswords and insults.

Pleased to meetcha!

I'm in if there's still space available.
