What up!?

This is my first post (I just joined a few minutes ago). Currently, I'm in the process of designing one of the first completely free, entirely text-based (with graphics only to help make the site/game more "attractive; they don't affect game-play), DnD RPG.

This will be entirely based off of 3rd edition rules. I've asked several forums and the largest majority agree that 3rd edition rules would be the best to base my game on. I, myself, have never been lucky enough to experience a legitamite, paper/pencil DnD game; however, I've found much joy from the graphical computer versions (especially Baldur's Gate 2: Shadow of Amn).

Although talented in web design/development--HTML, JavaScript, PHP, MySQL, etc.--I've one problem. I have very limited knowledge in the actual rules of DnD. (Ironic, huh?). I would like to ask, if possible, that anyone who has any of the 3rd edition books (Players Handbook, Monster Manual, or DM Guide) and has no need/use for them--or simply wishes to rid themselves of the books--to please consider donating them to my cause. If necessary, I will give them back once finished. The conditions of the books are not important, so long as they are still legible. I appreciate any consideration.




NOTE: If anyone is interested in helping with DnD oRPG (Dungeons & Dragons Online RPG), please feel free to contact me. I am accepting any help possible--especially from graphic artists. Also note that I will be incorporating the rules as I program the game. The first BETA rounds will contain only few of the rules; they will be added as the game evolves.

Did you know that most of the rules are online, legally and for free? Head here!

A bit off topic, but I am absolutely flabbergasted that the name Dungeon Master was still available given the number of users here.

Wow.

Alright; thank you for your help.

Actually, I am too. Well, in reality, Dungeon-Master AND Dungeon_Master were available. I signed up for both. I used Dungeon_Master first; then it told me I had to activate my account. I used an @yahoo.com account. Yahoo is blocked in my school, so I had to create the Dungeon-Master account with an e-mail supplier that wasn't blocked by the school.


Anyway, back to the topic.

I don't understand what you want to do. Is it an interface to play DnD with others through the web in that case you wouldn't be the first. Or prepare a text based game available on the web, which I personally don't think would be very succesfull given the already huge amount of existing game out there and presence of board like this one where you can play a text based game with real people.

Sorry to be so negative, but I don't see any potential market for what you are doing. On the other hand tools to facilitate Online PaP games are always greatly appreciated.
