This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

It pretty quiet 'round here...

Anyone got any requests for a possible game? Although the last game I ran petered out after a bit (all my fault, sorry gang) I would be willing to consider another. I enjoyed using Skype and Screen Monkey for the Sunday morning AD&D game as well, so if PbP is too slow we might be able to come up with something along those lines.

Question is, a) any interest and b) in what? Genre, not necessarily system, for now please.

That's something that's confused me since I first came here: for a site with such a high volume of discussion about roleplaying, not many [okay, essentially no] people are doing it here. Presumably, that's because a lot of us actually get to do it in real life [the most active PbP posters I know are basically frustrated offline players getting their fix the only way they (okay, we) know how], but hell, you'd think there'd be someone running a game here!

I thought about maybe asking someone to GM: there are [supposedly!] some very high-level roleplayers here, you know, guys who write games, who have GMed for decades, serious-ass sorts of fellows, but asking other people to GM isn't how it's done, so I just kind of kept my mouth shut. [Eastern Kingdoms is all the GMing I've got enough brains for.]

So you opened this thread while I was on holiday, and I thought, "Hmm. Let's see if anyone posts." But no one has. So here I am.

I'd love to play anything, in any style you'd like. Genre is unimportant to me, but I may need to do some research if it's extraordinarily esoteric. System is likewise unimportant, provided I don't need to, you know, buy stuff, something I lack important prerequisites for [read: money]. Is there anybody else who'd like to play anything?

Well, the only systems I know well are GURPS 3rd, AD&D 1st, Classic Traveller, and d20. I also recently picked up MongTrav for that matter. I'd say most settings could be handled with that spread - just depends on what you know and/or what you have, system wise.

How could I miss this thread?

Regardless, I'm game for anything involving fantasy, sci-fi, or superheroes. Heck, I could definitely go for another round of AD&D or some d20.

I guess I pretty much have access to every d20 product, and I don't think it'd be impossible for me to get ahold of AD&D 1st or GURPS 3rd, or the Traveller rules.

Well, then, maybe some d20 D&D if that strikes your fancy. How far off the rails could that possibly go?  If that sounds good, we'll work on the details later when I get home. I've actually got a module I wrote up for my regular group that starts at 1st level, so we might roll with that.

I'm cool with d20 D&D. Which edition though? 3E? 4E?

3.0 is all I really use - didn't see any point in shelling out for new books for 3.5 - not even really sure what the differences are.

Also, we're not set in stone on this just yet, if anyone else has some ideas. And a couple more people would be welcome as well!

3.0E D&D sounds good to me too.

Ok then, we'll do 3.0 D&D - old-skool style (I actually wrote the module trying to capture the feel of old-tymie(tm) adventures using 3.0 - it was an experiment).

1st level whatever, so long as it is in the PhB. I'll post the intro and such in a day or so. Anyone else reading along at home is more than welcome to join in.

Typically we (my group and I) roll a matrix and pick "best of" - 6x6. I'm not real particular though, so long as you don't have 18's across the board.

Also, max HP at 1st level, and max gold. Adjust accordingly.

Edit: Dead, like your character. Anyone with a toad familiar and a Chipmunks homage as their name is cool in my book.
