At the July 24-25 Summer LAN, I'm very willing (and excited) to offer a SHORT D&D session for 5 players.
For those of you that played a session with me last time, this will NOT last that long at all. That session was like what...8 hours? This will be a 2 hour session with 3 combat encounters and some roleplay.
I will provide all materials unless players have their own stuff they want to bring.
You do not need ANY D&D experience to play. I`ll be more than happy to teach you along the way. I have several visual aids that can make the learning process painless.
If I have more than 5 people that want to play, I'll just run more than one session.
-
Well if Agent didn't fall asleep, and Charlie could actually talk, and Mark and I weren't being asshats it never would have taken that long. I am interested though in joining in on the activities again.
-
yeah well I can talk now and I'm game.
-
I am down for some D&D will be a nice change of pace
-
Excellent! Any clue what kinda characters you want to play? I have the official D&D character builder I can use to whip something up if you give me a loose guideline.
-
A Night Elf Mohawk LMAO
-
but seriously though a half-elf rogue would be sweet.

-
I will take a Minotaur Barbarian leaning to Chaotic Good
*facepalm* You got it. The barbarian is a wonderful class though. VERY powerful. They have these powers called Rages where they get all pissed off and do EPIC damage. I`ll post a char sheet later today.
Is this gonna be done friday or Saturday?
Most likely saturday during the day/afternoon.
-
face palm o.O if you want, we could limit it, just post the race/class limits and we can go from there.
MINOTAUR!!! TASTE THE BEAST!!!!
-
Nah it`ll be fun to see the minotaur in action. Just make me laugh to think of the party running around with a minotaur on board. Too bad this isn't a longer campaign as it would make for some very interesting group dynamics and how the townsfolk would receive you.
-
Like I said... they would TASTE THE BEAST!!!!
-
Here's the text for the adventure we`ll be doing.
The necromancer Tal Lorvas has unearthed an underground tomb that dates back to the height of the ancient iefling empire. Lorvas has been terrorizing the surrounding lands with his vile experiments, and now he hopes to find a ring, hidden in the tomb, that is tied to a ritual he wants to perform by the rise of the next full moon.
The PCs must enter the tomb of Empress Nemeia, deal with the servants of the necromancer, and confront Tal Lorvas before he can claim the ancient relic and move one step closer to ultimate power over the undead.
-
I'd DEF be interested if you have the space.
-
i do! with mark also in this makes a full group. if there are others interested ill run another group. Broken and Fearon, what is your past experience with d&d? noobs? vets? in between? played 4th edition before?
-
I watch you play from my secret place... that is all
-
I was in the D&D Online Beta a few years back before launch. Does that count for anything lol
-
HA! no it doesnt.
Everyone, please check out the D&D Quick Star Rules here:
http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/QuickStartRules.pdf (http://www.wizards.com/dnd/files/QuickStartRules.pdf)
We`ll be using those for the session. Please respond with any questions.
-
I'd like to play; I have a few years of 3.5 experience. I've always played a rogue, but it might be nice to try out something else.
-
Ok well in that case i'll make sure to roll a Paladin so when we get in trouble i can just bubble hearth :-)
-
Rinso, for now I`ll put you in the 2nd group. If no one else signs up to play, I`ll put you in the first group and tweak the monsters accordingly.
-
I used to play a long long freaking time ago. I am talking in the 80's with the girls down the street in the basement of their parent's house.
Other than that, just watching you guys play a few times at lans.
-
Are you sure it was D&D and not S&M? Or maybe you played Doctor.
-
with the girls down the street in the basement of their parent's house.
(http://www.psychologytoday.com/files/u107/lies.jpg)
Girls don't play D&D, especially not in the '80's!
-
They did, and there was some doctor afterwards...
-
Was it a fertility clinic?
-
Thankfully no....
On a side note, I have a Minotaur mini and a set of dice I can bring if I can remember where I put them.
-
I`ll be making minis myself for those that don't have their own. Oooor..If people want to, we can take a trip to the D&D game store that is in new holland...like 3 miles away.
-
OOH Road Trip!!!!!!
-
I WANT TO SEE IT!@
-
I WANT TO SEE IT!@
The store?
-
I would totally be down with a trip to that store...
-
Kick ass. I'm familiar with the owners as they sell my chainmaille dice bags in their store.
-
I stopped by when I was down there at the last LAN. Got a copy of Cosmic Encounter while I was there too. Awesome game.
-
You and the clan coming to this lan, Rathe?
-
So while you all are at this store....who is going to be back at the lan....you know...staffing it?
-
You!
-
I figured. ;P
-
decepticon is good at staffing things... at least according to that last police report o.O
how are the chainmail bags on the dice? not too scratchy?
-
no complaints yet. I've used one with my dice for ~3 years without incident.

-
Lemme see if I can find my materials tonight. We`re still in boxes from the move last week.
-
Wow dude. That bracelet is snazzy. I'm impressed. I also want one. Gotta see how long until I move before I order one, though.
-

hey, it doesn't need to be any time soon man, I was just saying I want one. Whenever you can get around to making it is fine by me.
-
Can you make a chainmaille cock sock?
-
I am kinda excited to play... been a while and I had been thinking about a change.
-
Can you make a chainmaille cock sock?
Yes.. I can.

Awesome.

So you going to post measurements for him? I mean he needs to tailor it to you. ;)
-
Not on here, I may embarrass most of you. With the exception of Broken.
-
ha-ha one of my favorite moments at a college party... this chick came up and asked if I knew the time. I turned and away looked down then turned back and said its 10 minutes till 9. She looked at me funny and said, but your not wearing a watch. I replied... well not on my wrist...

HAHA! I call shenanigans!
-
Actually it was a fossil...
... whats the eta on the character sheets?
-
I got my server up last night after 3+ weeks of issues/downtime. Character builder is installed. Diddling your minotaur right now actually :) I`ll post here when done.
-
haha, at least your not piddling...
-
I can't wait. My rogue's gonna kick arse! Sneak attack
**awaits the "rogue's do it from behind" pun
-
Foostus - Level 5 Minotaur Barbarian.. Ready to do epic freakin damage.
-
ha-ha Foostus, how appropriate. I too have woken up on the beach with little memory of my past!
-
For Charlie
-
Okay. In case people want to play more, I've lined up another very short dungeon. This one is a bit more involved as it has some things to try to figure out, some traps, and what not. The original adventure does too but this one is a bit more... i dunno.. .fun? that and I've played it a few times before so I'm familiar with it. So .. I`ll give the group a chance to vote on which map they want first? The story line for this second map is:
Two young boys have gone from their home in the middle of the
night, and their father, a silversmith named Quinn Stasi has
come to you for help.
Though he does not know who has abducted his sons, or the
reasons why, thanks to a ritual casting procured from the local
temple of Erathis, he knows the boys are alive, in the area, and
that their current location is in the direction of the Shadowhaunt
Mausoleum, an ancient tomb of some long forgotten line of
warlords avoid by the locals and believed to be haunted.
He has offered you 50 gp each to investigate the
Shadowhaunt Mausoleum, and an extra 50 gp each if they find
his boys ...or their fate.
We can do both if the group wants, same characters and all that if you're down with it. As in ya return to town, spend the night (to refresh spells) and then this happens.
Thoughts?
-
Thoughts? Is this still a LAN?
-
Bah! Be gone!
-
:hehemean:
-
behold. Peren... The elf bard for Curse.
-
Peren plays his magical lute, and gets his head smashed in by Foostus. Everyone's a critic.
-
haha mental image of an elf bard prancing around the Minotaur Barbarian
-
*Aziz appears from the shadows, stabs you all, and disappears back into the darkness.*
-
I've hashed out what adventure we`re going to do. First it's the one where ya go after the dude's kids and see where they've been taken. After that, if you survive..., there is a single encounter adventure to try out.
-
Can I play some NPC chars?
-
You can play my pocket tuba.
-
*Aziz appears from the shadows, stabs you all, and disappears back into the darkness.*
In that case, I attack the darkness! :hehemean:
-
And my rogue comes out of and backstabs you from behind. Sneak attack oh yea!!
-
Just a reminder that D&D is less than a week away! Please review your character sheets and ask any questions you may have. I`m printing them out now on card stock paper for you to use at the event, especially those nice power cards at the end.
