PokeMoney Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 My nerdy pastime as of late. I am Warrock, a level 2 cleric who has high stats, and can speak most (If not all) the ingame languages. I make better offense than defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HereticChurch Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I played D&D quite a bit for some time, but all my group seems to have flocked off to do life stuff now, so I've got a few characters just sitting around. My favourite one is a level 11 Drow Bard/Ranger hybrid named Einar Silvermoon, with a focus on attacking multiple enemies and buffing allies, along with having a Spider beast companion named Alcaeus. I should try to get a group going again... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeMoney Posted November 18, 2014 Author Share Posted November 18, 2014 There is a game/client named roll20. We should form a paradise D&D group using that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeysfist101 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 It'd be fun to play as our characters in a campaign. e.g. Catfolk ranger Grugg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrbits Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 Man. Dungeons & Dragons has gone through so many iterations that 2 people can play completely different systems and still correctly say they're playing D&D. Hah! But I digress. Dungeons & Dragons is pretty rad. I'm on a sort of hiatus from high fantasy right now, but I've played in as well as run a couple of short 3-5 session campaigns using the newly-released 5th edition. I feel 5e is pretty good, its a return to its original intent of being a tabletop roleplaying game - as opposed to 4e, which was (in my opinion) a pen-and-paper MMORPG complete with dungeon raids and gear grinding. I totes suggest people check out D&D 5th Edition. It's easy to pick up, quick and fun but still allows complexity and depth in its execution. Also: Some doofs here on Paradise Station did a D&D campaign using Roll20.net a few months ago. They can prolly tell you how things went and provide any info/tips on assembling and running a campaign online! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeysfist101 Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I'm going to be running a one-off in about a month or so. It will have as many players as are interested (Somewhere between 2 and 479734). It will run a modified D20 modern and play out like the original Alien movie. You'll all start out on a pretty large map with one xeno. Last one alive wins a cookie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipping Out Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I have always wanted to play DnD, but my friends are busy/lazy/not nerdy enough/fun enough. Sounds fun, sign me up, I can't wait to meat Flipius of the order of Kirk, mage of forbidden knowledge (Am I doing it right?) EDIT - Do you need a webcam for it to work? Or if you just had a mic would it show the cam as blank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldrin-Kanthos Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 I play on roll20 right now and it is great. The ones I play only need a microphone, your face is not necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hairy Ban Jhankri Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 So, I have a question: Just exactly how similar is DnD to True 20, if anybody knows? I am told True 20, if anybody doesn't know what that is, it is just simply a less rule-y and less complex version of DnD. The last and only True 20 campaign that I played was pretty cool, it spanned over 4 years, before finally we just sort of went story mode to conclude what everybody had in mind. I played an adept, one of the only adepts in the game, and I basically broke the game with poking holes in everything everybody wanted to do. For example: Slaughter a whole tribe? Nah, diplomacy with the leaders, now a whole tribe is willing to join my characters cause. I never had the time to join the second campaign, but the GM and I spoke about making it "anti-me" proof, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streaky Haddock Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 Never played DnD. Played a bit of pathfinder which was nice, but that only lasted two weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldrin-Kanthos Posted November 20, 2014 Share Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Pathfinder is basically dungeons and dragons 3.5 edition with rule edits and additions. If you like pathfinder, chances are you might like d&d. Edited November 20, 2014 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
