I was talking to a few IRC guys and we came to the conclusion that we need to play D&D really, and we need to do it soon.
Faust
Toothache
Dorothy
If anyone else has interest post here and we'll sort it out.
We're using 3.5e and will be playing on IRC most likely! I'm going to DM it maybe unless someone else would prefer to.
LET ME/US KNOW :D!!
-
Just posting to confirm my interest. Not sure what class I want to play yet, but I'm leaning towards bard since I don't think I've played one before. I'll run a few prestige class ideas by you if they are allowed too.
-
I've never seen this so I'll just spectate and not participate.
-
Maybe another time. I'm getting disoriented from staring at my screen so I'm gonna log off the compy. I'd be glad to participate another time however.
-
I've never done this before but i would be very interested in this, where can i get info to make a character? i mean like how to build stats and such.
-
Yo I didn't mean D&D THIS SECOND! We're sorting out a regular sesh!
Swordfish: get the D&D 3.5e books. If you cannot afford them (they are like £15-20 each) then I'm sure...you can find them...another way...using the internets. I'm in no way suggesting you torrent them, as that would be terrible and like the worst crime ever (plus I think there's a NO DISCUSSING WAREZ policy here), so again I'm not suggesting that ho ho ho! But they're easy to acquire.
Get yourself to IRC and I'm sure I won't be able to help you out.
EDIT: Also there's a legal alternative - http://www.d20srd.org/ (http://www.d20srd.org/)
-

Dude, you should totally play :(
EDIT: How do I update the initial post?
We also have DICKO roped in now! We're just looking for like one more person really that can commit and shit!!!
-
I'd be willing to play if we played GURPS instead... and that you'd start after the 18th (when my semester ends)
I don't really like D&D.
-
Dude, GURPS is totally an option for the future at some point, but at the second we're all jizzgasming over 3.5e.
-
Fuck this sounds like hella fun but I'm knee deep in trying to build a 4e Dark Sun campaign for next year. I may pop in and spectate when you guys are playing though.
-
I am command for this, we are using #havern on espernet if you wanted to visit.

www.d20srd.org (http://www.d20srd.org)
i might be interested in this. done with finals and therefore available 24/7 after the 18th
-
4es SRD isnt as easily found as 3.5es, and a lot more people are experienced with 3.5e afaik
-
are we allowed to use the other rules? like epic or divine or somthing?
for the record, i chose a half dragon, dragon fire adept.
-
4e is bullshit. I came here to post that not actually expecting any 3.5e vs 4e discussion. I don't know anything about D&D aside from what I remember from the beginning of high school and see in the video games, but after looking through the 4e manual even I thought whoa this is dumb these guys have no idea how to run anything. or maybe I don't get it
I may play a goblin commoner or rogue
-
All my freinds books that I've been borrowing are 3.5e.
If it's a 3.5 game, I could give it a go the first time around. Although I'd prefer to spectate having not played before, I don't mind jumping right in either.
I shoulda posted here before anyone brought 4 up. I know we're not playing 4 but people still have to talk about it like it is something even worth talking about.
-
Do I need to know how to play D&D to play this? :3
-
Ok!!
1) Sure you can spectate. We're doing it on IRC, so just join the channel when we announce the FINAL TIMINGS. I'm assuming it's today or tomorrow - still have to speak to Dorothy.
2) You don't HAVE to know how to play - newbies are fine - but you may want to read the manuals first.
3) Yeah it's totally 3.5e. Fuck 4e. Warforge wtf!?!? WHERE ARE GNOMES?!!
-

gnomes are totally playable races from one of the monster manuals
WOOPS DONT LET ME TURN THIS INTO AN EDITIONWAR SHITSTORM CARRY ON
-
Because of timezones it is possible that we will have dual storylines/sessions. Right now the first session is scheduled for 7P GMT in irc.esper.net #havern tomorrow. I will probably be running a different session for the NA people until we can find a time that works for everyone. Join up #havern if you have any questions as I should be around.
-
Since people were like ZOMG I WANT TO SPEC THIS and things here is the first log between Coiana, Raphael and Parrap. http://pastebin.com/yv8NpjWK
-
i can't belive i missed it.
edit: oh well, i'm kinda busy atm so i don't think i could do this any way, shame looks like it might have been fun.
-
I'm interested. Remember, Ocean, there'll be more than one session.
Dr. Ears, the Burnt World of Athas is down at the moment, but I have some PDFS of Dark Sun info if you want to look at them.
-

I'm acquainted with 3.5 myself...haven't played 4e. I've heard a lot of bad things about 4e, like it's dumbed down or something? I'm not sure. Have you played it before, Unguided?
Anyway, this sounds pretty cool, but I bet scheduling for a game will be annoying.
-
Id play, and make a reach duskblade.

Nah man I have the Dark Sun books for 4e, it's all good.

No way, you played without me?
Douches!

It isn't about "chances", we arranged to play tonight at 7pm GMT. I just assumed the session with ric would involve different people than tooth/dicko, as now like their characters have EXPERIENCE and mine doesn't, that is if they're going to be up for playing two days in a row!
I feel that dicko has shit all over my sunbeams!
-
Clean them off. I'm sure dicko will find a way to work things out- either separate sessions, as you say, an option to start your characters at a higher level to offset the EXP gain (Leaked Experience), or whatever. So I'm sure it'll be fine.
TO Digress.. . . I like some of the new 4e concepts, types, and areas- the Genasi, the Primordials, and Returned Abeir spring to mind- but haven't actually played in the battle system. I suspect some of the new characters could be converted to to the old versions, so one could play a Genasi in 3.5, for example, though origins might need some altering, unless one decided to use the 3.5 rules in the 4E world.
-
GENASI! They do exist in 3.5e don't they, aren't they PLANETOUCHED? Like you can already be an airguy/earthguy etc just like you can be an aasimar or tiefling. I'm sure!!!
I AM SURE!!!!
-
Genasi appear in the Manual of the Planes, and its an easy transition to adapt them for a PC race. Probably have a LA+1 like most planar races though
-
Ok, just looked and they actually also appear in the more standard Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting 3rd Ed, as PC races no less. They are indeed +1 EL, so you have to start at level 2 to have a player class as well, but yeah they've been in 3rd ed as playable races since BEFORE 3.5e even!!!
-
Cool!
However, if I DO play tonight (or whenever we meet next) I'm thinking of being a bard- I haven't tried that yet but I believe it would be a good fit. A bit of trickery, a little magic, oodles of style and lots of varied knowledge, with singing as a bonus.

D&D IRC SESSION TWO: STARRING FAUST, DICKO, TOOTHACHE.
http://pastebin.com/rgx8EkVH
-
This was flat out straight up brilliant by the way. Like great bloody job, I had a blast.
STAY TUNED FOR NEXT EPISOD3Z!!!
-
Drat, I forgot! *Was busy reading Forgotten Realms Wiki* Maybe I can join the party next session.
-
I sort of enjoy the party dynamic going on. We have Parrap, the eternal goody-two shoes, Gremlian, the belligerent rogue always up for a scrap and to be as irreverent as possible, and Carfal, who is trying to be the Machiavellian manipulator of sorts and getting into even more trouble than the others combined. Gonna be even more nuts when we meet up with the other party members, there's a nice healthy mix of chaos already.
-
you say that, but i did butcher those two guys. like, absolute bloodshed.

If you could somehow transfer slow-mo to IRC, it would have definitely applied there.
-
I have never played D&D however if you are willing to teach me I'd love to join up.

Yeah we would be willing, but you do have to come in IRC though! DnD is not terribly complicated but you do need a guide to show you what rules are important.
-
HZ: Totally dude, D20 is a very easy system to learn and we can like HELP ALONG THE WAY! But ya, IRC is where it is at so come to HAVERN and shit.
-
We are still looking for people who are actually wanting to play. Lots of support here but it has not translated into people showing up.

Stupid internet went tits up, I couldnt get online for more than a minute or two before it went down. ISP said there was a problem with the phone line, but whatever it was seems to have fixed itself either last night or sometime within the last 15 minutes. Let's hope I don't miss the next one, stupid thing.
-
Oh man, I doubt I can commit, but you gotta leave a spot for guest appearances. I'll roll up an evil minion or something.
-
fuck off bro
-
Finally got my internet fixed. Turns out one of the cables leading outside this place had been damaged, and allowed rainwater to leak in and corrode the cable. Engineers were awesome and fixed it all within half an hour.
-
HOORAY! Problem solved, fantastic :D!!!
The mystery of the filthy cables!!!

I keep forgettgign what time Eastenr are the seesions held again?
-
2PM EST, 7P GMT, 11A PST
-
sorry guys, i fell asleep!
-
dicko you suck ass.
WHERE WAS MEATTANK?!
Dorothy RPed you a little bit though, so you had some LINES at least!
-
I'm not sure if I can commit, As sometimes they need me to say late some days, but I'll consider it, and spectate. Just which days of the week is the campaign run again? My day off is Thursday . . .
Though I have dice, I'm guessing a rolling program would speed things up in this case. . .
-
Currently WEEKEND ONLY because some of us (ric) have busy schedules.
dicko doesn't, but has proven that AGE IS CATCHING UP WITH HIM as he cannot stay awake for extended periods now ;_;. Time makes fools of us all!!
-
works for me...
I work on the weekend currently but should be available most weekends. . . like i said, sometimes the boss needs me to stay late- for example i stayed until after 3 yesterday as there were clothes to process. OK, count me in- for now.
-
Clothes to process? Dude, do you work at like a sweat shop or something? MAKING CLOTHES UNTIL 3am!!!
This is not the American dream :(
-
No, doofus, 3 PM that day.
*Sigh* looks like ill end up observing today's session- got home at 2 and just tracked down thi9s thread to find the channel info. . .

Hey gang. I got caught up this week and didn't run into any of you guys. I would be up for playing tomorrow (Feb 6th) at our USUAL TIME. I'm not at home making this so I can't change the topic. PM me on here (if I don't run into you) if you can't make it.
EDIT CAN'T COUNT DAYS

Apologies for my extended absence. My new ISP is due to activate my broadband on Thursday, so I should be fine for this weekend.

Guys there's something wrong with my internet. IRC won't connect, and neither will safari. I'm having to use firefox :(
It keeps saying NO INTERNET CONNECTION. The Xbox works just fine on the net too.
WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPEN HELP ME ;_;
-
Sounds like you had a weird proxy server setting come up, or that sort of thing. Why don't you use firefox to use mibbit.com so you can connect to irc?
-
yeah. espernet won't let me connect for some reason so I have to use http://www.esper.net/publicirc.php
-
Really? But it suddenly just stopped working, it always worked before ;_;
I'll check that site!!!

SESSION 12: EIGHT PIECE BAND
http://pastebin.com/BBDJT2Ut
-
You know.... I'd really love to play this game. I know a lot about it and have been watching gametable and podcast sessions for well over a year now (what can I say, most of it - when the combat isn't dragging on - can be pretty entertaining depending on who you are watching. Anyway, I have a very good grasp of the game and have only to... acquire the handbooks (other than monster the monster manuals, which I always get) and actually start building a character and getting myself into a session.
If you aren't into handholding that's tine.... but if not here do you guys have any suggestions for learning how to play and actually playing this game once and for all on the internet (other than something awful, after all this time I still don't have an account).
To give you an idea as to what I'd like to try... I'd prefer a shardmind warlock. If not that I'd take something less complicated for my first run and try a warlord of some sort.
-
We will happily do handholding as long as you aren't cockbrained retarded. I don't know very much about other tools except for just getting someone to sit down and run a session with you one on one. Again the difference is that the way we play through IRC doesn't use the grid (for better or worse). I'll be happy to sit down with you one night and show you the ropes.
-
Yeah dude, Doros spent ages the night before last explaining every detail of making a character in his cyberpunk adaption.
Plus, the amount of times dicko asks "HEY WHAT DO I ADD TO MY DAMAGE MY WHOLE STRENGTH SCORE RIGHT GUYS?!?!?" is about five per session XD
