now we come to picking gear. anything marked with an x you're allowed to pick.

fighter cleric rogue wizard item
x x x x dagger
x x x x club
x x x x staff
x x x spear
x x x shortbow
x x x sling

x axe
x x sword
x x hammer
x greatsword
x longbow

x x x leather armor
x x brigandine
x plate mail

x x buckler
x shield

you can have one set of armor
you have two hands
and you have one sheath that can fit any weapon

have fun with it, there aren't any real min/max opportunities here. this also isn't something that has to be done right now, but the more prep work we get done before friday 8pm the more time we'll have to actually play.

.

magic users also need to prepare their spells. here are the options:

wizard
level zero
resistance
acid splash
detect magic
telekinesis

level one
expeditious retreat
magic missile
detect secret doors
identify

level two
blur
scorching ray
detect thoughts
web

level three
heroism
fireball
lightning bolt
rage

cleric
level one
cure light wounds
inflict light wounds
protection from evil

level two
cure moderate
inflict moderate
aid

level three
cure serious
inflict serious
prayer

.

wizards get to prepare 3 from level zero, 3 from level one, 2 from level two, and 1 from level three
clerics get to prepare 3 from level one, 3 from level two, and 2 from level three
remember that you can only cast a spell you've prepared
so if you want to cast Magic Missile three times, you need to prepare it three times
also remember that there is friendly fire in our DnD, so you can't just chuck Fireballs around and assume your team won't get fried too

again, there's no real min/max here. hit me up with any questions

[SPL]

give me

brigandine for armor

greatsword (assume this is a two handed weapon)

long bow in my sheath

[TimPig]

I'm not sure I'll be able to make it. If I do, it'll be a last second commit. If that makes planning the game more difficult, feel free to leave me off.

Sorry fellas :(

no worries, the arena setting is very flexible for adding or removing a participant

feel free to build a character anyway though

[TimPig]

Fighter

Brigandine

Sword + Buckler

Longbow in my sheath

[Delap]

I have to be out guys, sorry. Too much work left to do on this project and I've gotten sidetracked with other stuff the last few days.

[Odin]

out

[eric]

so here's how this is going to work tonight. Tonight! at 8 pm central!

1. we're gonna call in to a podcast like normal. if you haven't done this before, it's very easy.
2. there's going to be a dice room set up here. you don't have to roll your own dice, but if you want to see you can
3. anyone whose character isn't set up yet, we'll knock that out.
4. i'll set up teams mostly at random but making sure we have balance.
5. then we fight!

i'll keep track of everyone's stats, HP, where they are on the map, that stuff. speaking of the map, this is what it look like:



every dot is a place where someone can stand.
one person to a dot MAX.
people have different speeds depending on armor, class, injury, how fast/reckless they wanna be, etc.
it's a lot easier to do in person but we've made it work in the past and will do so here too.

any Qs let me know!

[SPL]

do we want to do this another night? looks like a lot of people backed out or have not responded.

[Souper Troopers]

I'll play. I'll be drinking.

[Souper Troopers]

fighter, sword, shield, brigandine

i'm going to be here at 8 central. if we have 3 or more, we'll play.

[eric]

gonna go ahead and put a fork in the live call in version of DnD for now. s/o to Souper Troopers for showing up.

instead! i'm gonna go ahead and try out a forum-based version. like mafia, but dnd instead. here's my idea so far:

1. signup thread, everyone picks a class and equipment.
2. i'll collect all the information, assign teams, roll for initiative, and announce a start date and time.
3. people take turns in the order determined, and do so by making posts. i'll post a new map and status after each turn and notify who's up.
4. but people are also free to post advice, criticism, etc. try to keep it game related and try to keep it light.
5. we keep going until there are one or less characters left alive.

since this isn't a secrecy based game, all players are free to talk about it in shout, private message, text, semaphore, whatever.

since we don't want people waiting around, there's gonna be some sort of timer on each turn. i think one hour during my waking hours should be fine, and i'll post if i'm gonna be incommunicado for longer. missing one turn isn't that big a deal, so i don't see any need for admin kill type rules. but i'll still do it.

since this is forum based, there's nothing that says we can't do a live call in version too. i don't think that's gonna happen too terribly frequently, but i just wanna point out that doing this doesn't preclude doing the other.

.

let me know your thoughts fam. i think this idea has a lot of potential, but i've been known to be wrong. no specific cases come to mind, but it must have happened at some point, probably.

[TimPig]

In for the forum version. This will be great to kill time at work.

I'll try it
