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.

[Interest] ACKS: B4 The Lost City
« on: January 26, 2015, 07:54:59 PM »
Anyone up for playing one of the classics?

You and your intrepid band were hired by a nobleman with an interest in archeology - he led you out into the depths of some Gods-forsaken desert, then proceeded to get himself bitten by something. In the depths of venom-induced hysteria, he told you of an ancient civilisation, long thought lost, that resided in this arid patch of nothing. You counted his tales, but after a couple of days wandering, you found a temple, eerily similar to a sketch found on one of the scrolls of parchment he carried...

I'll be using ACKS, cause I love it, with the Core and Player's Guide classes available to start.

For maximum old school, I'd recommend rolling for stats, picking a class, then rolling for a template.

Aw man, my favorite B series module with my favorite OSR ruleset, and I'll have to pass. :(

Good game! I'll be reading.

Whats ACKS?


A miserable pile of secrets!

Or, more accurately, a retro clone of B/X D&D, with a more modern sheen, more class options, and a combined skills/feats system to allow for more character customisation without descending into 3.5's mechanical horror.

Alright, as there's next to no interest, consider this one down and out. I might try again later.
