Dragon's Delve from Dungeonaday - OOC Discussion [FULL]

[Archon Adept]

Guys, I think I'm going to have to say no to Book of 9 Swords. It's nothing against those rules per se, but I think it's too 'outside the box' to try and DM such a character when I don't have access to the book. I'd say no to Magic of Incarnum for pretty much the same reason.

Maybe if I can ever get 3.x PDFs for less than full cover price it will be a different story. (The pricing on those is ridiculous, but that's a whole 'nother rant).

[Atanatotatos]

Seeing that there are more interested people than free spots, and that I'm already in several games and about to start DMing a new adventure, I guess I'll step down.
Sorry Archon, I hope you guys have fun, the game sure looks like it will be!

Okay, that's perfectly understandable! Thanks for letting me know so promptly, and good luck with your endeavors.

Walking Dad, this means you have a spot in the game if you'd like.

Yep, first level to start.

And no, you don't need to be a member of the site. We'll run the game on these boards, and I'll provide everything you need.

Thanks AA, I'm definitely in. I'll start looking at options in the Book of Eldritch/Hallowed/Iron/Roguish Might/Luck as well as the Complete X and Races of X books for character ideas. Leaning towards something divine or arcane.

Yeah, you can't run a PC using the BO9S without having a copy of it, it's too difficult. Do you allow the Spell Compendium?

Edit: I'm thinking of perhaps a bard, or druid...

Sure, I'll allow Spell Compendium material.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

I'm on board for sure.

It looks like we're gonna be all set magic wise, so i'll probably go with a fighting type.

[Archon Adept]

In honor of this adventure being an old-fashioned dungeon crawl, I'm thinking about having you guys roll for your stats on Invisible Castle. What do you think, anybody dead set against that? I'd let you reroll if the dice were particularly unkind.

My name is hafrogman, and I confirm this message.

Now I need to figure out what I'm going to play. Looks like we could use a thief for trap finding and such forth.

I'm okay with rolling stats I guess.

I say that now. Five 8's and a 10 later I'll change my mind, though.

Yeah, pretty sure you're gonna want a thief. (Thief! Look at that, we're reverting to AD&D lingo. I love it!)

As for stats, if everybody rises up en masse and demands to do a point buy, I can be swayed. I just thought rolling might be more fun.

i'm fine with rolling or poiny buy, or "choose other".

i have no clue what invisible castle is though.

Heh, a while ago I had a conversation with a friend about wanting to play a thief. Not a rogue, specifically not a rogue. Just someone who stole things for a living.

For this I'll need to be a rogue for trapfinding, but I think he'll still be a thief too.

"I see monsters. They have treasure. I covet their treasure. Some people fight monsters because they want the excitement and adventure. Some people fight monsters in defense of the weak and unprotected. I'm a thief. I fight monsters so that I can take their stuff."

[Erekose13]

Rolling is fine by me. Any particular roll you'd like us to make? 4d6.takehighest(3).minroll(2)?

Invisible Castle is a dice rolling website. Basically it rolls the dice and stores the result. It provides dice for those who aren't near their physical dice, and also helps stop people from fudging or outright cheating.

If we all roll under our usernames, then a quick search can be run to see if 'hafrogman' rolled a dozen times before posting one set.

Yeah, this looks good. Why don't you guys do this seven times, take the best six, and arrange in whatever order desired. Please use your ENWorld screen name, and link your results here.

[Sir Osis of Liver]

ok just waiting on registration from invisible castle.

Anything else we should be aware of for character building?

Talk about your depressingly phrophetic.

The rolls.

Str 12
Dex 13
Con 10
Int 14
Wis 9
Cha 11

... Although now I look at the results, I'm not sure if it worked correctly. I used the roll dice, cause I couldn't see how to get seven rolls out of the stat set up.

Why yes there is!

Give your characters maximum hp at first level, and purchase equipment with the maximum available gold according to class. Please avoid evil alignments. I would appreciate it if character sheets could be annotated with the rules 'crunch' associated with any options taken from outside the SRD.

Here is a thread under Plots and Places to post your character sheet.

I'd like it if each of you uses a different color font for his character's speech. I'd also like it if each of you can find a picture to represent your character, as I'm exploring means of creating battle maps, and I can use this as a 'token'.

I'll probably think of other details as we go.
