Hey guys,

So there has been some discussion between Sarevok and myself about reviving some D&D games on IRC. Commonly, we'd post topics like these in the roleplaying forum, but obviously that can't be done. But this way we'd probably be able to reach out to people who otherwise wouldn't have known about this.

Some information:
We play in #darkling on the whahay IRC server
While we are open about other games/versions, Dungeons and Dragons 3.5 is the mainstay edition we're looking to play
Whether you know how to play or not is a non-issue, I will personally be running educational lessons
We are looking for are people who want to play and believe they can commit to a weekly/bi-weekly game
New Dungeon Masters are VERY welcome

Feel free to post here and share your play experience, playing preference (Player or DM), time zone, and play times that would be good for you. Also feel free to drop by the #darkling channel to get more information/express interest.

Disclaimer: While you may be excited to play, keep in mind that timezones and schedules tend to be extremely hard to matchup, and depending on the DM's schedule, you might simply not be able to make it to certain scheduled sessions. We can't promise that everyone can play and it wholly depends on the variety of DMs we get.

If you are worried about not having the materials to play, I strongly ask that you visit us in #darkling, we have a lot of resources setup to support people looking for D&D-related materials.

New players might also try out this official "demo" of D&D (its still 3.5) http://www.wizards.com/playdnd/playdnd.asp

Man, I really want to play/run a campaign like all the time but it's hard to get a consistent time I can get on unless if its super late at night (11pm)

I might do this shit. It would mean DnD without finding a group of people I don't even want to be around.  I only have a vague idea of the rules, mostly from video games based on them. Oh well, I can pick it up no problem. Any limits on races and stuff like that?

Yeah I have never played DnD before, but I have always been curious to try. I have a vague understanding of like DC and stuff mostly from KOTOR.

If this gets popular are we going to bring back the roleplaying subforums?

To be specific, race is important because I read the DnD thing about how to play a gnoll as a player character and I want to be a fucking gnoll now.

I don't know much about D&D beyond the basics, but I would be up to play.

I've been wanting to play 3.0-3.5 again for awhile, I'd be up for this.

would a gnoll (or any other race) actually get along with the rest of the PCs?' answer: probably not

that's what that whole DnD guide was about though, how to make them work in a way that they can fit into a party

i will play if you are willing to teach me...

i'm mountain time but my schedule is crazy so idk if i can make a reliable time but ill show up if i can i just need to learn how!

If anyone's interested you'll want to check out #darkling at some point.  There's usually someone active and most anyone can answer any question you might have.

yeah dude with 20 years experience here player and dm what's up?

i've never played over irc so you guys will have to teach me (for whatever reason irc hates me) but i have a group of friends i play with, currently writing up a campaign to post in the blog, and i'm a master at playing by email since i'm usually oversees at odd times.

where's the dotted line?

oh so this is what was going on when i came on to irc the other day, fuck that im never going on irc again

ahahahahhaha did you guys run this on #gamingw without announcing it in advance?

man you nerds.

BEST PART OF D&D IS DEVELOPING A STRATEGY TO KILL A TARRASQUE QUOTE THIS.

yo I might do this to, although i haven't really played DnD (like once with friends or something) but i guess it would be interesting to try.

If this gets popular enough to turn at least semi-regular, then I will definitley be in.

My freinds always want to get a playgroup together, so I'll definitley welcome more experience with the game. (I'm also interested in DM type stuff, but I want to play a few games first to get a feel for it.)
