Pen and Paper Games

[MA]

your mother gave me 403, but loaded after i tried to refresh my penis.

sorry. i feel like being silly for some reason. we haven't done that for a while. can we do that, guys? can we?

[Varrok]

Just don't make more threads about my mother. I don't want to be negrepped any more by WoF

It was a link to the rules for Engine Heart, which looked interesting.

Yeah I think having a means of voice chatting is pretty essential for the DND experience. Using a text-based chat could work for those who don't dig using a microphone (which is understandable), but might be a little awkward and sort of stifle the flow of the game. Still, better than not being there at all.

Biggest hurdle would be time zones, though.

[Manco]

I could try roleplaying a mute. That might be fun.

[Job McYossie]

I knew someone who did that once. Pretty boring, they said.

I could see this being either hilarious or a completely boring disaster. Either way, I'm game.

There's always Words with Friends.

Better than nothing, I guess. Seems like kind of a step down though, based on my quick googling.

Wouldn't a mute rely purely on visual communication, too? Would you be sending everyone a series of emoticons and paint doodles?

If timezones are a problem maybe we could just play a boardgame or something? There's an online version of Diplomacy where you can set a max turn timer anywhere from a few hours to a week.

Which classes have psychic abilities?

I'd be up for that. anything, man. maybe a proper D&D game is a little too ambitious considering the collective situation we're in. we could give it a go later at some point but i reckon we should first sharpen our 'grouping together to play something' skills by playing something a little simpler and seeing how everything goes. timezones, mic's, webcam's etc might be a little too much for a first-time go at playing a game together.

unless we want to. whatever man i just want to play something with you freaks

LET'S PLAY LUDO

[Manco]

Y’know it strikes me that everyone’s flip-flopping around wondering if this will pan out, but no one is actually trying to organize anything.

Here, I’ll throw out a date for you all: May 16. It’s a Saturday, so most of y’all probably will be free. If that doesn’t suit then I’m sure you can suggest a more convenient date.

Now pick a time and decide if you wanna play D&D or another game.

[MA]

yeah, man. Manco's knocking us into gear now, bitches. I'll totally be up for any game, i'm not bothered what it is. i have a mic that i can set up if need be but no web cam unfortunately. May 16th is fine by me, just let me know the place and time (and what equipment will be needed) and i'll be there.

lookin forward to this shindig.

[MeechMunchie]

I remember ages ago a friend showed me some online Cards Against Humanity app, but I can't remember which one it was. There are a few, mostly bad.

[Mr. Bungle]

Praise be to Mabelco.

I think we could jump right into a DND game, though it might take some time to cook up a decent campaign. Also, a decent campaign on Roll20 costs money to create, and I don't think anyone wants to invest anything other than their time into this. Might have to get creative here.

May 16th should be just fine for me, though. What time's best for all you guys? Think I'm the only one not living in the UK, so whatever time works best for you guys is cool with me. I'm willing to fuck my sleeping pattern up for some nerdy OWF shenanigans.

Next order of business, then: who's doing what? And by what I mean Dungeon Mastering. I hereby nominate BM as DM, because he seems to have the most experience with all this stuff, and his mind should cook up one hell of a campaign.

Idea: Oddworld-based campaign? Sounds like it could either be really fun, or just plain lame and stupid. Probably the latter, but I just had to get throw the idea out there, considering what site we're on.

Or we could just say fuck it all and play Risk.

[Manco]

I think it would be a good idea for you all to try a short vanilla D&D scenario before jumping into a full campaign. That way everyone gets a good feel for how the game plays and can decide if they rolled the right character for them before having to commit, plus it wouldn’t take so much time for the DM to set up.

[Mr. Bungle]

That's a good idea. Hell, if no else is willing to, I'll take the DM reins. Sure we could get by decently enough with what roll20 offers to cheap/poor folk like me. Free stuff.

And if not... imagination, or something.

[MeechMunchie]

How about we just pretend to play D&D

[Mr. Bungle]

We can do it right here, in this thread!

Hi my name is Bungle and I'm a Bungle from the region of Bungle. I come from a land ravaged by war and poverty because I killed everyone and took all their money.

Bungled


...

No good?

[Manco]

I put on my robe and wizard hat.

[Mr. Bungle]

I steal them

*rolls to steal*

*critically fail at stealing and end up giving you my Grifter's Bowtie of Bungling +1*

Aha

[Manco]

Boy, you sure bungled that roll!

*+1 to laugh track*

[Bullet Magnet]

A power-gaming munchin has entered the game.

I use my Staff of the Rose to summon an administrator to kick all yo' butts.

[Mr. Bungle]

I sit quietly on a bench and await the end

[MeechMunchie]

[MA]
