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.

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

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.

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.

Everyone has the right to be himself; wise men know how to,when, and whether to navigate the boundary between their rights and those of others when they collide.

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/

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.

4es SRD isnt as easily found as 3.5es, and a lot more people are experienced with 3.5e afaik

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.

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?!!

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.
