Dark Sage Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 I thought it would be an interesting idea. We can use 8 bit theater as the campaign setting. I can play any edition but OD&D and AD&D 1st edition. If anyone wants me to be a player, but not a Dungeon Master, OK with me, but I'll need to send you my campaign notes and material. My favorite edition is 3.75, or Pathfinder. Characters will be made with the Point buy system. For maps, I hope any of you know how to a D&D grid system, miniatures, and dice 'cause I don't have anyway to put them online. Unless you can give me a link. Those who wish to join subscribe. Once subscriptions are filled, we'll decide who's going to be the following: Players (4 and 5) DM (2 if needed, one will be backup) Recorder (keeps notes with the DM to send when needed) Referee (self explanatory) Just an idea I have.

Defeatist Elitist Posted March 21, 2010 Share Posted March 21, 2010 (edited) Holy shit, did not see this. I love DnD. I tend to play 4e, and it's my preferred edition, but if someone ELSE is DMing, sure I'll play a hideously broken character 3.x Wizard, which are like, some of my favorite characters of all time. EDIT: Oh, and I've got plenty of experience playing online, so if you need help with maps, dice rolling, etc, I can tell you how it's done.

Dark Sage Posted March 26, 2010 Author Share Posted March 26, 2010 Thanks! I can really use the help. I can only play when I'm at my Dad's house, because the computer there can do that kind of stuff. Not the one at my mom's. Do you play Pathfinder? It's my favorite edition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've read the Pathfinder books, and I used to play a ton of 3.5, although I don't anymore because of said balance issues, but I'm perfectly willing to play Pathfinder. I just prefer 4.0, mainly for DMing (or playing non spellcasters). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sage Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 Great. Pathfinder's balanced a lot of things out. I don't like 4th edition that much, but it's fun and while it has better balance than 3rd edition, 3rd edition is more customizable. Do you know anyone on here who's interested? Because I don't.

Snowy_One Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I might be interested, but I have no clue how to make a pathfinder-level character. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sage Posted March 27, 2010 Author Share Posted March 27, 2010 It's just like making a 3rd edition character but there are some differences between the classes of 3rd edition and Pathfinder. I can post them later if you need me to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy_One Posted March 27, 2010 Share Posted March 27, 2010 I would think the differences something very important, no? Not only that, but some people lack the 3.5 rules whom may be interested. Finding a place to read/aquire those would be helpful to the success of this RP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sage Posted March 28, 2010 Author Share Posted March 28, 2010 Ok. Next week, I'll attach a file that has all the character classes and base prestige classes. I guess I didn't think of people not having 3.5, considering it's one of the most successful D&D editions, but you're right. If no one replies to this, I don't want to be warned for double posting when I post the attached file. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why not just send them to crystal keep or one of the many sites you can find through a google search with the words "system reference document"?

I think most of the SRDs are for 3.5. Wait, I just missed some stuff, yeah, you're right. SRD is awesome, too bad it got nerfed for 4e, although considering now we have DnDI, I don't really mind.

Defeatist Elitist Posted March 28, 2010 Share Posted March 28, 2010 You have to pay for DnDI though. It's not much, and it's ridiculously awesome. More than ANY SRD ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, I'll do that instead. Next week, I'll send you a link to SRD pathfinder. Edited March 28, 2010 by Dark Sage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy_One Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I just finished making a 3.5 character as well as have a few in the wings if you were willing to do that. Additionally, I have a 3.5 players guide I'm willing to share over AIM if that will help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defeatist Elitist Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) Yeah, what level would we start at, and would there be any non standard rules? Also, I'm going to assume Supplements are allowed, but I may as well ask anyway. 32 PB for attributes? Edited March 30, 2010 by ZXValaRevan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sage Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Lv.5 or 6 seems like a good place to start. Skill Tricks will be used but not luck feats. And yes, 32 PB sounds reasonable. Supplements will definetly be allowed. I'm designing my own prestige classes right now by the way. Oh yeah, do you want to keep the 8 bit theater setting or do you want to change it. We could even play Forgotten Realms or Dragonlance if you want (these are the only campaign settings I own).

Snowy_One Posted April 2, 2010 Share Posted April 2, 2010 Errrrmmmm... May I suggest you keep it to the basic 3.5? Not everyone who wants to play will have experience playing D&D and keeping the suppliments to a minimum is helpful. I, for example, only have the 3.5 players handbook, no supplements, or anything of the kind. I can play, but for me it needs to be kept basic.

Dark Sage Posted April 2, 2010 Author Share Posted April 2, 2010 (edited) Alright, let's vote between Pathfinder and 3.5 because I really don't want to update my campaign notes to 4th edition. Oh yeah, and remember how I told you earlier I'd send the SRD on Pathfinder last week. Well, I'm sending it later today. Also you don't need to learn skill tricks and using the supplements are optional. It's just that these are available if you want.

Allowing supplements just means that anyone who WANTS to use them can. Anyhow, I'll start making a character soon. Are we allowed to take Flaws, or no? And I vote default 3.5, if only because I have more experience with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrhesia Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I vote default 3.5. I have the 3rd Ed handbooks and know most of the changes, and would be very eager to send another of the illfated Ravenswood elves to his death. Varkade of Ravenswood; Elven Fighter; fell into pit and was eaten alive by a hydra. At level three. Kolbane of Ravenswood; Elven Fighter; killed by own guide into a dungeon. and so on.

Parrhesia Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I appreciate it. This elven fighter I think is gonna focus more on his longbow than his spiked chain/longsword. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy_One Posted April 3, 2010 Share Posted April 3, 2010 I vote default as well. Best kept simple and it's not exactly far from any perspective to let players who have supplements have such an advantage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Sage Posted April 4, 2010 Author Share Posted April 4, 2010 'K. 3.5 it is then. Looks like I don't need to send that Pathfinder SRD then. But I'm using the Pathfinder beistiary, unless you don't want me too. I friggin' LOVE the Pathfinder Bestiary. Anyone want me to be the Dungeon Master?
