Seriously guys, I might be interesting in this as well. I peronally love D&D and wouldn't mind trying out a campaign with the 4th edition rule set.

 

[BoneMonkey]

[BoneMonkey]

http://www.wizards.com/playdnd/playdnd.asp I played this i think i got it lol

 

[Akoji]

Well, I got some DM experience, but I never played online.
Im quite mad at the Druid/Bard/Monk removal, I can understand Barbarian/Sorcerer since they are not really a stand alone class.
And Half Orc/Gnomes =

, but I never played them haha.

Well, I would play, or maybe DM'ing.
Who plays so far?

 

[Bob Evil]

I have tons of DMing experience ... but I am going away for a few months because of work next week

 

[BoneMonkey]

there going to release a Players hand book 2 when i dont know but it will introduce the bard monk druid and barbairn again

Finally read through all of this.

Someone thought that whatever number of millions of subscriber can't be wrong and mayde 4e DnD to be very WoW like. It almost feals like a PnP mmorpg game. Levels, talent trees, skills, roles for classes. Certainly feels interesting will need to do some play testing before I can give any more comments.

But for those who love combat, character advancing, and dabling into stats, items, etc. this is a perfect game. An MMORPG on table with a GM instead of premade quests, and without monthly fees

 

[BoneMonkey]

I want to tplay but we need a DM !

Continuing from the discussion from the shoutbox (as much as I don't want to post anymore other than blogs)...

I think 4e would be a good start if we make a GBAtemp playgroup to encourage people who have no PnP background to play.
If we get a good DM (BOBOBOBOBOBOB), it'll still be interesting. They've sort-of streamlined combat and all and the core material shouldn't overwhelm the new player.

Sure the whole thing has gone "video-gamey", they removed a lot of spells and all the other small things that kinda bother me.
The only thing that really gripes me is that there are mini "rules/actions" for everything now that I'd have to check if I have to roll a die to see if I succeed on picking my nose. j/k

If anyone is willing to DM just for the first pre-made adventure, that would be great. It'll be a great opportunity to get new people into the game and test out this system.
I just hope noone read through Keep of the Shadowfell.

Here's to playing Chainmail 2... I mean D&D 4e!

 

[Urza]

I'd rather be a player... but I suppose I could try my hand at DMing. At least until Bob gets back.

I guess a first time for all of us. It'll be my first time playing online too.
I've been looking up on Virtual Tabletops and saw this site: http://www.iconvention.org/
Has a comparison table on various programs that I believe we could "procure" online.
I wonder if we should use Skype too or other VoIP (for out of character convo or some shit) but that'll mean you'll hear my weird accent.

I'm excited about this since I think some Tempers would be interesting to see on what kind of adventurers they'll come up with.

EDIT: btw Akoji I think is also game for DMing. Let's decide on what software/interface we'll be using so everyone can get familiar with it I guess?

 

[Urza]

The current plan is to use Skype and OpenRPG. I kind of mucked about in the latter earlier in the week, and it seems like it will do well for our purposes (plus its free and cross-platform, as is Skype).

Skype would likely be used for all conversation, as its much more natural than using a text chat.

 

[Bob Evil]

I tell you what I will do, though ... with any spare time I get ... which will probably only when I am on a plane ...

I will write some new scenarios ... I already have a world I created years ago ... which I have used a lot, and know inside out ... which can be adapted to any fantasy system ...

I'm well versed in spoken English though and will make things slow or shit I think. Anyway, let's try it.

I was gonna suggest that lol, that you make a scenario/campaign/setting for us while you're away. We can run the pre-made shit we have so far anyway (we have 2, one from the DMG and Shadowfell). If we run out, Urza (or whoever is DM) can run them again to a different group I guess for DM practice, getting familiar with the software and to train new players.
