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.

If a Mouse buys Swords and Wizardry...(Dungeon Crawl)

...The Mouse will want to make a dungeon.
And if the Mouse likes the dungeon they have made,
The Mouse will want to run the dungeon.
So the Mouse will post on a forum.
And, if people decide to play in the game,
They will get to use any class in S&W, Knockspell #1,
plus his Footman class here: Footman, the 40%-off Fighter.
But not his Sorcerer class,
Because it is rather unbalanced for anything except a long campaign,
Where its weaknesses might come into play.
The dungeon is not very large,
So if everyone posts as soon as they see a new GM-post,
The GM will post as soon as he sees a new Everyone-Else-Post,
And the dungeon should be finished shortly.
(First-level characters only)

Plus, Virtual Cookies will be provided.
The main problem with government is the difficulty of pressing charges against its directors.

Given a choice of two out of three M&Ms, the human brain subconsciously tries to justify the two M&Ms chosen as being superior to the M&M not chosen.

1) White Box or Core Rules?

2) Any Houserules?

3) Which Thief do you like from Knockspell #2?

4) How do you want characters rolled up?  AKA, do we roll, you roll or some computer program rolls?

5) Megadungeon or Your Setting or Other Setting?  AKA, how much background and interaction will we have outside the dungeon walls?

6) How do you plan to do PBP combat?

@Age of Fable: It's a small dungeon - My first drawn - So it was finished before I posted.

@Spinachcat:
1) Core Rules.

2) For the first dungeon, none - I want to try out 'Vanilla' S&W. After all, it's best to know the base before I mod it.

3) The one that uses Saving Throw rolls is the one I like the most. Role-playing 'sneaking' well, however, will get anyone pretty far, depending.

4) Invisible Castle; 3d6, swap one set.

5) It's a single, short dungeon run to get my DM'ing brain in gear. So just the setting needed to support the dungeon.
If the players like the game, there is always the option to extend. If not, then minimal time is wasted (Mine and yours) :)

6) State intent, roll to-hit, roll damage, roll a saving throw. I'll resolve the actions and post the results in a single post. The saving throw is in case I need it. Actions wll be resolved in the order posted for in-party initiative.

Indeed! Shall I call you Face-man? :D

Edit: A probably-unneeded note, but I don't want to have to deal with evil PCs in the game - At least not yet...

Well, Spinachcat only posted once and, er, you haven't filled out your character details...

What's rpol.net?

...The site has a horrible interface. My cheek actually started twitching.

Nevertheless, there is now an advertisement there.

Yeah, it is pretty bad. Speaking of which - I had a look for your thread but couldn't find it. Can you post a link?

Hello there, is it too late to potentially jump in on this? I recently found the post for the setting, as well as having found out about S&W, and I have truly fallen in love with the idea of playing as a footman, along with the possibility of raising an army of soldiers once I am a high enough level, I've already rolled out my stats to begin with, but am willing and eager to learn so I can take part in this.
   
 STR 16, DEX 13, CON 13, INT 14, WIS 13, CHA 16

Pretty good stats I think, I'm a vet to 3.5 D&D but going back to the 'basics' as it were I think could be fun as well.

Cool. That brings us to two players, if Age of Fable is still around.
No problem, I'm new to S&W myself.
Footman? Awesome.

Ok, just need rolled gold, bought items and some fleshed-out background (Short paragraph is enough) from both of you. And then...

In the last few hours, clouds have rolled across the sky, bringing with them a freezing, chilling rain that patters on your gear like and slowly soaks your clothing. The woods around the path are silent, the animals sensibly in their dens.
The pine trees in these foothills would provide little relief to you, however, and your map (Long since stowed, to preserve it) insists there is a town nearby. You have yet to find it and the chill is beginning to creep into your bones.
As you are coming to a decision on wether to press on or try to find a dryer spot, lightning cracks across the sky and, ahead of you, a human-looking form stumbles out of the trees...
