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.

When you say IC topic, do you just mean a separate thread?

Quote from: Opaopajr;768999I like the Western feel as it is one of the few historical times where egalitarian cosmopolitanism was an accepted standard out of sheer logistic necessity. It still is medieval D&D, as there is no gunpowder. But feel free to run with Western ideas, avoiding the most egregious anachronisms (gun powder, steam punk, etc.).

You *sure* you don't want gunpowder?  I mean Halfling Gunslingers...


I guess you could make a Halfling Wizard who uses these weird metal things whenever he Rays of Frost or FireBolts.  I'd have to multiclass into Cleric of Brandobaris just to have Thaumaturgy so everywhere he showed up, people would hear "owee owee oh, wah wah wah".

I'm glad I was not the only one who went there with Thaumaturgy & the Western feel. You can even simulate the freeze frame screams to music, you just have to hold real still after casting.

You know, people keep comparing non-TSR D&D to deck-building in Magic: the Gathering. But maybe it\'s more like Katamari Damacy. You keep sticking shit on your characters until they are big enough to be a star.

D&D may not have, as Old Geezer puts it "Disappeared up it's own ass", but an attempted return to something completely minunderstood by the designers is starting to look like it resulted in unwitting self-parody.

Unfortunately, I have to bow out of this round as well.  
I've suddenly got an RL hexcrawl to embark on and I will be far from the interwebs.

Aww... :( And I had your start, the sleaziest dive in town, already prepared. Mercifully it is still usable without your starting tidbit.

Well we still got your character. When you return we can have you post in the second batch as well. And "Hunk" will still be waiting for your next debt payment.

... aaaaaaaaand the cat came back, the very next day!

NEXT PARTY BATCH OPENING UP!

I have 6 slots available, 2 reserved for Durn & LibraryLass if they are ready this month.

It takes about a few days to get slots filled, create characters, check them twice, and set up a clean IC topic. So dream up some ideas!

The basics are in the PbP [Interest] 5e RAW topic. Don't post there yet, just read the starting pitch. Please talk here so we can build up a quorum. Then I will start another OOC topic just for you, to scratch up new characters, you lucky second batch!

for Endless Flight: Feel free to ask questions and chargen brainstorm.

Also, still 5 more slots open for this August's batch. The Open Table waits with open arms.

Hey Opa, is it okay to use stuff from the PHB now that that's out? 'cause I've got an idea for a warlock that's burning a hole in my pocket.

Sadly, no. Don't have the PHB myself, which leaves it an article of faith for the GM. And it goes against the table pact I made at the start. :(

However, there's oodles of variables within RAW. And if RAW gets updated now that PHB is out -- and I can check it out on time and approve -- there's that.

Come join! Wacky hijinks for everybody! We're overburdened with fighters, so make another fighter! :D

Kinda wondering where Endless Flight went. He was interested in being a Rogue...

Yes, but we can get started on your character. Go to the die roller:

rolz.org

then go to room:

Livonia's Lament

then type in (for 4d6 drop lowest). you may also use Standard Array:

repeat 6 4I6    (note! <-- that is 4, capital "I" as in Important, 6)

have fun brainstorming what you want here, and when it gets populous we'll open up another OOC topic or slip you into the current one.
