Shifting Twilight Campaign OOC--Recruiting

Greetings!

Rhun, Yabanjin, Battleaxe, *welcome*!!!

Good to have you all here, and to meet you.

Yabanjin...yeah, with those scores...I suppose a Druid is pretty appropriate....If you want to arrange, you can though.

The druid looks pretty neat, too. Good job.:)

I'll have more posted here this evening, so check back.

Semper Fidelis,

Hi!

Count me in too!* I'd love to haul my old PHB out of storage for this (I'll do that first thing tomorrow). So many possibilities, I guess depending on how you are doing chargen. But it's been (literally) decades since I've played an illusionist, or (numbers permitting) I'd be game for a half-orc cleric.

KS

*please! my only ongoing online game fizzled out earlier this week, sadly.
 

Hmmm... interesting. If you're willing to take on someone who's never played AD&D before I'd be interested. I'll just bug Rhun if I have any (many?) questions.

I would like to see what all the fuss is about as I hear all about how much better the system is in the general threads.
 

Greetings!

Welcome Kobold Stew and Renau1g! Both, I notice...are *Canadians*:) Cool cool.

Sounds good. Well, the traditional 3d6 for each stat, placed in order seems good. However, if there is a class you want to play, and do not roll the required minimums, merely adjust the appropriate stat (s) to the minimum required to qualify for the class desired. In addition, while during chargen, you are free to keep the stats as rolled so as to go with whatever character class that is suggested, in the spirit of rolling with the random flow--:)--I also permit you to move the stats around to better reflect what you want as a class and what you would like your stats to be arranged thusly with that purpose in mind.

Remember, I want you to be able to play whatever class you desire, from the Player's Handbook.

Also, remember, that as *dismal* as your rolled stats may appear, it is not necessary to have a fun, interesting character--even an effective character--if the character's stats are not all *18* or higher.

As to some of your questions and thoughts--to be honest, 1EAD&D allows free-form roleplaying much easier than 4E, or even 3E did--and does so without so much of the *mechanics* getting in the way of doing so. Speed and ease of play are of high priority in AD&D--and those are merely a few goals that 4E and 3E got away from in different degrees, of course, though by virtually any measuring stick they greatly complicated achieving such goals to a far greater degree than the *Old School* predecessor of 1E AD&D.

You will both see how easy, fast, and immersive the *Old School* D&D can truly be.

Cheers!

Semper Fidelis,

Well my roles turned out a little better than expected, and so nostalgically missing lure of percentile strength, I rearranged a little and decided to go tanking so Quin has someone to hide behind :D

With no further ado, may I present Mask
[sblock="Character Description"]You see a tall, stocky man leaning against the bar. On the floor by his feet sit a worn leather pack and a well used shield, a large scabbarded sword is propped against the bar at his side. His travel stained, olive green cloak has its hood pulled up and so no detail of his face can initially be seen, but when the man turns to attract the inkeeps attention, you notice beneath the hood, that he wears a mask covering his entire face, only gaps for his eyes, nose and mouth show anthing that lies beneath.[/sblock]
[sblock="Background"]Marcus grew up in the small village of ???. His father was the village smith and farrier, and so he naturally followed in his footsteps, growing tall and strong as he worked at the forge. He also actively participated in the village militia enjoying his time spent practicing weapon drills with his fellows, wining more often than not, due to his access to the metal swords and shields rather than spears and small wooden bucklers. He was also and handsome young man, and engaged to Poppy, a stunning young woman with bright ginger hair, widely regarded as the most beautiful girl in the shire. His life seemed set, he would one day be the smith and leader of the militia, with a place on the council and maybe one day a position as a Reeve. That was until the accident, to this day he knows not how it happened, but upon placing a piece of iron into the forge, the forge seemed to explode, showering his exposed skin with hot coals and burning him horrendously. When he recovered he discovered that his love could not bear to see him again, and although he tried to stay in the vilage, using a leather mask and long gloves to hide his disfiguration he could eventually not bear the stares, pity and even insults that the village folk cast his way. He resolved that his life in the village was over, and he must make a new life, far, far away. He spent a month forging the best weapons and armour he could, and then one night, just left. Heading down the road and then into the wide world, making his way as a sword for hire, under the name 'Mask'[/sblock]

I am kind of interested, but would like to know more about the setting and type of game you've in mind before committing.
