Character Creation -- How you know it

but i'm laaaazy D:

I don't see why we wouldn't do some default campaigns and dungeons.

It'd certainly be easier, and they're plenty fun.

And to be perfectly honest, I'm starting to think it'd be really fun to be the DM. >.>


So.. You know.. I'll gladly do it. :3

Totally changed my mind. >.> I wanna play.

TOMB OF HORRORS.

I don't think we can do Tomb of Horrors as level 1.

And also I think the premade campaigns cost money. Man, how are we going to convince anyone to DM? Playing's too fun XD The only guy I know who fully enjoys DMing is Matt Loeb, and he can't be online often enough.

TOMB OF HORRORS ANYWAYS.

anyways, the internet is a wooonderful resource, we could probably find free campaigns online

I've searched for them before, and all I've gotten was just one paragraph vaguely describing a setting.

You're welcome to try though.

I have plenty of premade campaigns.

In fact, I have one right now that is supposed to take you from Level 1 to Level 16. How about we do that?

Sounds perfect. Is our DM finally decided yet or are we still out on that?

It seems like it'll be Atreus at this point, if they're still willing.

He, and I think that will be how it goes, unless Ian wants to be the one who runs us through his 1-16 campaign.

It's not /my/ campaign. It's called the Rise of the Runelords, you can look it up if you want - just don't look too deep into it.

I'll pass, for the purpose of avoiding spoilers. So, David's DMing then? I should ask him how we should/are allowed to roll stats.

I thought of a hilarious new way to do it, just fucking around with some dice.

You roll ALL 24 at once - still rerolling 1's (If we decide to).

Then you remove the lowest 6.

And then you combine then into group of three as you see fit.

That is GENIUS, although even I don't have that many, so it'd probably be rolling 4 of them 6 times. Although I might have enough to total 8, so 3 times.

I've only tried it once, for shits and giggles, so I can't tell you if it averages any better or worse than doing it seperately, but it seemed like a damn fun idea at the time. XD

It sounds like fun. Maybe we should set a certain limit so that no one is too underpowered? Don't want someone who's all 12s and 10s.

Rerolling 1's takes care of that pretty well.

Taking a rough estimate of all the character's I've witnessed created that way, the average is that you'll have a couple 15-17's, possibly an 18, and a couple 11-14's.

Sounds good. I want at least 3 14+ numbers, for Strength, Wisdom, and Dexterity. Maybe another decent one for constituition.

first, i dun wanna dm :< unless you wanna meet once every month instead of every week (which is what i had in mind)

second, i like that idea of rolling.

third, you guys want me to set up a maptools server, tell you how to connect, and show you the ropes?

Okay, I guess I can DM then. The DMG seemed to really be all about MAKING dungeons. As far as running premade ones, it should be pretty easy.

I'd like once a week over once a month. But I've become so obsessed that given the choice, I'd vote once a day. >.> Or every other day.. I'm rather insane..

And which style of rolling? The rolling all at once and then choosing combinations?

and...

Oh yeah - YES, please teach me maptools and all the features, that'll be HUGE for me if I'm DM-ing.

I could play every day as well, given the chance. Who knows, we migth be able to pull that off since the campaign isn't being made up as we go. But once a week or maybe twice a week could work too.

Please do show us, as a player I need to know too. And yeah, so roll 24, reroll 1s, drop lowest 6, arrange the rest? awesome, will do.

i'd like to play once a day, but i have homework and school (particularity on mondays), and my schedules' hardly ever set in stone for weekends.

the style you just wrote about a few posts ago. just, roll 24 at once. we can refine it though.

okay, maptools. should i create a new thread on how to connect/general questions?

We'll play as often as we can, then.

I'll go do that now. Time to make a good monk character, woo.

And yes, a new thread would work.

(Oh, by the way, if you still want to be a cleric, go right ahead)

And you agree with the "reroll 1's" concept?

And yes, new thread please.
