AKA The help Sono die of an ulcer thread!
EDIT: Turns out sometime between when i learned how to play it and now, they made an SRD website! no game theft required
You can peruse the games rules at your leisure!
So me and the xolta and outhouse and Ebes ghost where discussing how i wanted to start making more posts about table top games and shit, and then xolta went:oh maybe a borf d&d topic, were we can play dnd and against all better judgement i gave this an actual thought and went "sure why not"
But Sono/Thrin, you say, D&D is too complex to do over forums and we all hate learning how to play! To which i retort "SHUT THE FUCK UP HOW DID YOU GET IN MY LIVING ROOM!?!?" also that, dont be silly, D&D is so fucking old theres 300 billion trillion jakillon ways to play D&D, and in this case i have the perfect version for forum play:DUNGEON WORLD! a stripped down yet still horribly complex narrativist version of D&D where you use D6 and no one has to worry about precise Square positioning to use fireball.
Down to the nitty gritty! Forum games are SLOW, and ive not run one before, we would be looking at... i dont know, 1 post a day , possibly 4 times a week, depending mostly on YOU folks(my job would just be to keep the story flow going and to fuck up the structure of paragraphs/murder you) ideal player numbers would prolly be 4 to 5, but due to the magic of Forah i could prolly handle up to 10 people, while just you know, cutting down on the actual content per day/ making monsters way meaner or some shit.
The story: YOU GET TO CHOSE, kinda. This is a game, so i cant do like that aborted spelljammer game in the old bog where you were like, giant crab flower cooks and violin instructors and shit, there was to be conflict and story flow. but other than that, ill take suggestions for the sort of setting you want this would be option "A" prolly the most brain intensive for me. Options B C and D in order are
My own mishmashed settign inspired by everything i love and hate about D&D; DRAGONS, ROBOT MEN, GIANT MAN SIZED BUGS, PSYCHIC POWERS, ASSHOLE ELVES, ECONOMICAL LOGISTICS BROUGHT UPON BY WIZARDS,DID I MENTION DRAGONS? also there would be Chocobo expies
SPELLJAMMER: retarded space D&D that runs on the rule of cool and silly and animu, would prolly be a mostly comedic game with some sort of stakes. possibly steaks.
Dark sun: deadly seriously pulpy adventures where youre prolly going to be dying of thirst 23/7 and dragons are the LEAST of your worries.
You can hit me up on skype to explain how dirt simple Dungeon world is and i can totally share my completely legally acquired pdf yes sir.
Express interest below and vote for your letter and make suggestions and shit, i have no idea when we would start and junk, but hey, i TRIED.
