Title: VOID D&D/Tabletop Group!
Post by: Rose on Jul 26, 2016, 03:29 PM
Hey guys, I brought this up in the Discord chat, but Discord doesn't really exist and I want this to be a real thing on VOID, so here we go!

I'm currently just looking for people who would be interested in joining a D&D (or similar type of tabletop gaming) group! I'm thinking of using https://roll20.net/ to somewhat simulate the experience of actually being around a table together, but I'm open to other suggestions of course.

Even though I'd love to be DM for this, I haven't played (let alone DM'ed) in over a decade, so I'm looking for anyone who has experience and would like to DM. If we have enough people, we'll probably split into 2 or 3 groups, so there will be plenty of opportunities to help out!

I'm also all ears as far as the type of campaign(s) we want to run. Kent brought up the idea of placing the campaign in Void Kingdom and using the ancestors of our existing VOID characters as our D&D characters, which might be fun. We an also explore non-medieval settings or other non-D&D systems, if that would be more fun.

Current teams:

World of Darkness

HERO

Pathfinder

D&D 5e

Other interested members:

Oh, also forgot to post this here! I made a poll for any interested members to decide which system/version(s) we're interested in: https://goo.gl/forms/YqgfEUtmcvJ8h37X2

yyyYYYOOOOO

So I've been DM and player is several campaigns over the past six years and am completely down to clown with this. My preferred format is Pathfinder, since it's like D&D 3.5: Improved Edition AND I have all the books in PDF BUT if anyone wants to run something else I'm sure I can find the Core books and learn it. Shadowrun would probably be good for a more modern Void City since it has magic, augments, drugs and a very urban vibe, but that Void Kingdom deal also sounds super fun and would be easy to adapt into Pathfinder or D&D.

Oh yeah! That reminds me, my bro plays Pathfinder, so he could help me if I did any DM'ing (or just in general hahah). Seems like a pretty popular version to play with, so I'd definitely be down!

There are some really cool systems out there for free. For D&D style I like D&D 5th Edition, the free Basic rules are here (http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/features/basicrules). There are other options of course.

I'm totes interested, slap my dumb name up there

Edit: I've got quite a bit of experience with D&D and other pen and papers, in case that is useful information.

Interested as well! Not that I'm much good at the roleplay aspect of it, but I love me some dice rolling and dungeoning exploring.

Been a while since I did anything D&D style, but count me interested in the idea.

Post by: ZigZagaroo on Jul 26, 2016, 04:32 PM
I'm certainly interested in joining but to be honest I've never actually played D&D once. Course if you guys could tolerate me I could do my research, get a few dice, and if you wouldn't mind maybe show me the ropes a little.

Every D&D group I join dissolves after a few months, so hopefully not this one! I have the most experience with 5e, and I have the handbooks for it, so that's a start. If my schedule permits, I might be interested in trying out DMing, too. (No clue if I'd be any good at it, though.)

I've got a Hard Drive of all the RPGs that matter (and some that are also okay). Interested.

EDIT: I'd be interested in running but not Dungeons and Dragons necessarily.

A brief list of RPGs that are awesome.

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 2nd Edition is literally the best style if you're a savage bastard. Easiest system to play with and d10s rule forever.

HERO is very fantastic and any character is technically possible. Actually, literally everyone could make their Void character and have them be true to it since that's the intent of the system. The main issue would be how math heavy it is, but we also have calculators so we can do it.

EXALTED 3rd Edition has been a lot of fun so far, also a very fun system.

FATE is also really solid. Able to make anything with the system but less focus on math and a lot more focus on story telling.

I've played D&D 5e and I'm interested! But I'd also be interested in trying out other RPGs if groups form for them. Always wanted to try the WoD games or Chuubo.

I have waited for this day.

I am down to play! I have had some experience with 4th edition though its been a while but I am willing to learn anything if it means roving adventures!

Why. Why you bring this up when I am already in four weekly games, two of which I run. WHY. WHYYY I WANT TO JOIN.
Title: Re: VOID D&D/Tabletop Group!
Post by: Dechado on Jul 26, 2016, 11:43 PM
I've always wanted to play something like this. Count me in.

I'm still reading the rules here and there so I hope you guys can be a bit patient with me. Ahahaha...

Post by: Rose on Aug 02, 2016, 03:27 PM
Anyone have preferences for which system/version we use? I'm currently leaning towards D&D since that's what I'm most familiar with, and I've heard good things about Pathfinder and 5e, but we're going to need at least 3 DM/GM's it looks like, so we could also have multiple systems going on at the same time.
Title: Re: VOID D&D/Tabletop Group!
Post by: Animeshen on Aug 02, 2016, 03:44 PM
I also lean towards DnD as ive played the most of it

I've created a new Discord server we can use to discuss this so we don't clutter up existing VOID stuff with our group. I'll still keep track of everything in this thread, but just having a chat will help when making decisions we need everyone involved in.

I'd enjoy this. My Void character actually began life as a D&D character. So I'm totally onboard!

UPDATE:

[member=13998]Magistelle[/member] has volunteered to run a World of Darkness campaign! If you're interested in this horror/supernatural-centric RPG, head on over to our Discord chat and let her know! https://discord.gg/ZrBBMkE

[member=1507]GOD DAMN IT ROFLQU[/member] is interested in hosting a HERO campaign, which would allow for a modern-day Void City campaign, so if you're interested in making an RPG with your existing VOID character or just participating in a modern-day, superpowered campaign, let him know here: https://discord.gg/QzeXmNH

I'll post updates as we figure out what our other GM's are interested in running and what people are interested in playing. Feel free to join us in Discord using the link at the top of this thread any time!

EDIT: Once you've decided which group to join, let me know either here or on Discord so I can keep a list of who's in each group and who still needs to find a group to join.

Post by: Rose on Aug 09, 2016, 12:01 PM
Another update! [member=16445]ScaryWaves[/member] wants to DM a Pathfinder campaign, so if you're interested in a D&D-type system that took the best of D&D Third Edition and made it better, head on over to the Discord channel at https://discord.gg/KAaqrXS and let [member=16445]ScaryWaves[/member] know!

I got some random non-standard rpgs. Some are super simple. Some not so much. Stuff like Call of Cthulhu and some little indie titles. I also technically have vanilla D&D 3rd. I WANT to get Paranoia to play.

Post by: Rose on Aug 09, 2016, 02:28 PM
I have created a Discord channel for D&D 5e, for those interested in that group. It will most likely be DM'ed by me, but I'm waiting to hear back from a couple people before finalizing it. Let me know here or through Discord: https://discord.gg/pRxGvJt

:O d&d sounds great! but idk if i should... i'm already in 2 groups one which i dm for... is there space for more players tho?
Title: Re: VOID D&D/Tabletop Group!
Post by: Rose on Aug 10, 2016, 09:59 AM
Yep! I won't be starting my 5e campaign until next month, so there's plenty of time to join in on that one for sure. For the other teams, just let me know which one you're interested in and join the Discord chat or just contact the GM for that team directly!
Title: Re: VOID D&D/Tabletop Group!
Post by: Nana-Banana on Aug 10, 2016, 10:26 AM
I think I'd be interested? It really just depends how long the sessions (?) would be and when it would take place. I have school starting up next week so the weekends are naturally the best for most people but I might be able to do things during the week ;v; let's get reporter in on this craziness

Yay! I love all D&D with especially and I also really like World of Darkness and Chill. I play em all the time. Never have had experience being a DM but the experience of being a player. One problem... I am on the autism spectrum or also known as Asperger's syndrome which causes repetitive and non sociable behavior and few physical disabilities which would make it much harder on me to play but I still try and that is takes to play is confidence in yourself. I have been playing D&D since I was 8 years old and now I am 22 years old so lotsa experience here in being a player. I have just almost all Dungeons & Dragons books from 1st e to the latest edition. Just because I'm piping in here doesn't mean I'm going to play but I'm definitely interested in it.
Every D&D group I join dissolves after a few months, so hopefully not this one! I have the most experience with 5e, and I have the handbooks for it, so that's a start. If my schedule permits, I might be interested in trying out DMing, too. (No clue if I'd be any good at it, though.)

Anyone interested if I run a game here in the forum? I'm thinking "Maze of the Blue Medusa" likely in D&D 5E?

[member=2183]Mister Kent[/member]  (http://entervoid.com/index.php?action=profile;u=2183)  Sure I'd be up for that. In fact "Maze of the Blue Medusa" has me very interested in it's premise so I'd love to give it a run. Though I'd like to wait on your input on how we'd go about this game in the forum.

Welcome! Make sure you check the Discord posted at the start ~ there's games going on and sometimes one-shots and things! :D

I've run a buncha forum games. All we'll need is a thread for out-of-character discussion/recruitment etc, a thread for in-character play, and we can roll dice with an online dice roller --I've used Orokos lots. http://orokos.com/roll/

All right then I'll leave you to it then. Definitely jot me down on the list and I'll see if I can tag a friend or two along, so take all the time you need setting things up.
