Quote from: Oni Kadaki;256615Could somebody with a DMG help me figure out some equipment for my cleric? I'm new at this and am completely lost.

Here is one set of options:

Plate +2  1750
Shield +3  800
Mace +4  1500
Healing potion (x2) 400
Eversmoking Bottle 500

You can drop the eversmoking bottle and add two healing potions instead.

Supposing one wanted to play a Glass Cannon...I mean, Wizard - What's the name of the not-really-0e rules download?

Thanks.

OSRIC.

You can get it here for free.

Thanks.

15 Int is more than adequate.  As I am fond of mentioning, my original Magic User went all the way to 16th level with a 16 Int.

Quote...Can I buy some wire?

Wire wasn't very common until quite recently, but some tough silk cord,  or hemp or leather twine is available.

Right, then. Added some leather twine. Need to know if the weight is right, though - OSRIC doesn't have it.

HD: 1d4: 1. Dreaded that. I'll just be hiding in the middle of the formation, then.

And I'm done for the day.

I'm easy to please, i'll go with that.

Nope, max hit points at first level, then roll normally after that.  Give your character 4 more levels, you have 5000xp with which to buy magic items (guidelines above), and 10,000gp in whatever mix of currency you want.

The leather twine will be 1lb per 20', and braided should be strong enough to lash things together and such, but don't count on it supporting anything near your weight.

I'm pretty sure somewhere earlier in the thread SB said to take max HP for first level, so worry avoided.

Gah!  SB's post wasn't showing up for me when I did this.  No idea why.

The dice mock me. (4 + 2 + 1 + 2 + 1) 10 HP

Does anyone know of a (Legal) .pdf with a list of AD&D magic items and a leveled list of the spells? OSRIC doesn't have the first and their spell list is alphabetical and expanded - And I don't have hours to pour over everything. (I'm rather slow at making characters. I consider 'fast' to be 45 minutes - And that's without background)

Final round up:

One Horse Town - Dwarven Fighter (npc for now)
DeadUematsu - Halfling Druid
timrichter9 - Half-Elven Magic-User
Sinjin767 - Elven Thief (still to post)
Venosha - Human Monk
Shellbee - Elven Ranger/Magic User (still to post)
Grey Pumpkin - Half-Orc Cleric/Assassin
Oni Kadaki - Human Cleric
Eric E. - Human Fighter
Narf the Mouse - Human (?) Magic User

No more room, so this is the final player list.  I will monitor the thread over the weekend to finalize characters.

I will set up the IC and OOC threads Sunday night or Monday morning.  Once those are in place, I will post the opening description, and we will start.

For my part, I will likely play around with a couple of different formats for descriptions, NPC dialog, and so on to keep it separate and easy to follow.  

With the In Character thread, I would like to see dialogue set off with apostrophes ("Of course, this isn't a dissertation," said StormBringer brightly, "so there it won't be graded"), and if you wish to share your character's thoughts, those can be in scare quotes ('Wonderful idea', StormBringer thought darkly).  Otherwise, it can be as freeform as you like, with whatever formatting you feel is most readable.  If you are replying to another character's dialogue, it would be easiest to follow if you cut and paste the dialogue and then responded.  If necessary for clarity, add in who said what.

Quote"I'm more concerned about the devil than my blood pressure." He put both elbows on the counter, put his hands up and in his hair, cracked his neck as he jostled it side to side. One finger slipped down and bumped his glasses.

Quote"I'm more concerned about the devil than my blood pressure." said StormBringer
"Blood pressure medicine is very important. You should be regular about it. Just tell me your last name." She tried to remain in the zone of 'nice' but felt like just turning around and waiting on the car window, where someone had just pulled up and placed an order in the sliding slot.

Describe your character's actions or reactions to the environment, avoid describing anyone else's.  In the example above, you wouldn't want to add 'StormBringer said through gritted teeth' or 'StormBringer said cheerfully', as that may not have been the intention, even if it wasn't explicitly stated.

Considering the nature of the exchange in PbP, you can post as much as you want, of course, but I may split up a post's worth of actions into more than one 'round' if it seems necessary.

Quote"I am ready when everyone else is." said StormBringer, hefting his pack over his shoulders, belting on his sword and donning his helmet.  Striding out the door with purpose, he unties his horse and slings the saddlebags behind him as he places a foot in the stirrup and swings up and over the horse into a comfortable position

Not a large post, obviously, but I would have to break that down into three or four rounds worth of action.  In these cases, you will be assumed to be committed to the entire chain of events, but I will allow reasonable interruptions as warranted.  If no one stops you before you are out the door, you may spend a few rounds sitting on your horse before you realize everyone else is still inside.

In addition, I would like to see at least one post per day from everyone, hopefully more.  Combat rounds are going to be tricky, especially with this size of group.  We will play that by ear until things settle out, but I would like to start out with individual initiative, so things may bog down a bit in order to get attacks in the correct sequence.

I am not going to be a hardass about any of it, but I might put out a few gentle reminders here and there in OOC.

OOC will be more freeform, and the most appropriate place for general questions or clarifications.  Of course, all the mechanical stuff will be in there also.  Again, if there is something you want clarification on without alerting the rest of the party, you are free to PM me directly, and of course, you can PM or email each other as desired for secret planning and so on.

So, until the game officially starts on Monday, this will be the place for any last minute questions, clarifications, suggestions, discussions, protests and whatnot.

The minimum/maximum spells - Per level or total? Also, the last two questions I posted.

If necessary, I will go through the alphabetical list, but it'll probably eat up at least half the day of my going 'Is this better, or is that better?'.

I'm a perfectionist. I annoy myself with that. Yes, I know that doesn't make sense.

Sounds good to me, Stormbringer. Can't wait to get started.

Min/Max is per spell level.  Picking spells is tough business sometimes.  I still have to get a list together for timrichter9, which I will do tonight or tomorrow morning, then the spell casters can trade spells before the start, if they want.

*zzzooooommm*

I thought you were ready to start, or i wouldn't have pulled out over a short break.

Okey, dokey, can someone with the DMs guide to hand equip my dwarf please? Armour, weapons & shield are favourite.
