[QUOTE="Jimmy Disco T, post: 6362862, member: 6749529"] I've been playing in a couple of play by post games and would love to give DMing one a try, but there would be some large caveats: [LIST] [*]While I am happy to purchase the adventure, I don't really want to commit to the large cost of the core rulebooks as well for an online game that may fizzle out or not even get off the ground, as I would get zero use from them otherwise. I have had no luck getting a regular D&D game together offline. [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Hence we would be using Basic rules only (I'm led to believe you can in fact run HotDQ just with Basic and the .pdf monster/magic item list). [/LIST] [LIST] [*]My knowledge of Forgotten Realms is based entirely on the Baldur's Gate games and an old 3rd ed campaign guide, so I know nothing of the the 4th ed changes (i.e. post-Spellplague); so I would want to tweak the setting to this era (may have PC repercussions e.g. no Dragonborn, Warlocks etc. - although none of this is in Basic anyway) [/LIST] [LIST] [*]Although I have been a dungeon master before, I've never run a play by post game :) [/LIST] I think what I'm trying to say is - yes, I'd be interested in DMing this, but there is probably a much better person out there to do it. But if you're desperate... [/QUOTE]
