Virtual Warriorz: A Second World Game - OOC Discussion

[Angel Tarragon]

Here's the concept; Each player creates two characters, one for D20 modern and one for DnD. The DnD character is the D20 Modern character's avatar in the virtual world. Eventually things get mixed up and the virtual world bleeds out into reality. Sound off if interested.

So..it's playing a Pbp for a pen and paper game modeled after people playing an MMO?

Lol that sounds interesting. You can count me in.

I am intrigued by your ideas and wish to subscribe to your newsletter

Got any preferences for level/stats/sourcebooks? Also, I'm so tempted to make a d20 modern character with Knowledge (Character Optimization).

I'm not generally in the market for new games, but sometimes an idea comes around that's too interesting to pass up.

Color me interested, though I'd need to see chargen info to give concept datum.

 

[renau1g]

I'd be interested also. two pcs... ahh the possibilities

I'm interested too. I had a similar idea, for a campaign with D&D as 'the Matrix' in a cyberpunk world.

The first 6 players to get their characters up will be selected as the players for this group, if there is more interest than I can handle, I will split the players into groups (no more than 2).

Please post characters in the Rogue's Gallery. As soon as all the characters are up, I'll start the in character thread.

Dilettante, Windfall and PL7. . . so are we some kind of gamer caste in a future where movie stars have been replaced by gaming avatars. We adventure for their amusement (See 'Heroes Must Die', XCrawl)? Or is it more like we're just so rich from whatever else that we can afford this deeply immersive game?

Also anything on the game world? Just sort of standard D&D done as a CRPG, not a whole lot of story, just log in and kill things? Or is it deeper than that? Or is it a real world that we are projecting ourself into using the technology (thus requiring us to pretend to be native)?
