Anyone up for an online game?

[Daz]

We could have character generation done by point buy and instead of rolling for hit dice just round up the average (d10 = 6 HP, d8 = 5, d6 =4) and have the DM make all of the in-game rolls after PCs say what they will do by posting on the forum

This format is fairly time-consuming and adventures will take a month or more to get through so the players will have to be pretty committed but I think this could be a lot of fun.

This could be good for people who don't have many other people who play the game in the area. I'll DM if nobody else is up for it, but I think that someone whoh as more experience DMing than I do would probably be better...

I already play in an online Conan game (here), but I could consider entering into another one. Don't think I have the time to DM, though.

 

[Koda]

I'm in. Hard to find people to game with since I am on the road so much. Always have a comp though.

 

[Daz]

Cool, good to see some interest. Anyone want to DM?

 

[rgrove0172]

What format would you use? Email, a Chat service? Would the sessions be live or would you simply send out reports on the action?

 

[Daz]

Probably something long the lines of the online games in this forum. People post what they do on the forum when they have time.

Let me know some more info and I will get back to you. I am DMing Conan right now and my work schedule is pretty good (all nightshift). For me it all depends on days and times. Good luck with it.

Well there wouldn't be days and times, what would happen is that everyone posts once a day or so to say what they do. That way a combat round takes about a day and an adventure takes a month or more.

Quite slow, but with the right group of people very steady and a lot of fun.

Id be interested as a player. Im GMing a campaign right now and wouldnt have time to run another.

 

[Daz]

Well if I were to GM I'd recycle the real-world Viking campaign I'm doing with my group in order to help me polish some things up since otherwise I'd have to come up with a whole second campaign and that'd give me headaches and take up too much of my time.

But I'm not sure if people would be willing to play a campaign that takes place in Norway/Iceland instead of in Hyboria...

Of course I'd love to play a more standard Conan d20 game online if someone else wants to GM.

 

[Koda]

Sounds like that could be adapted fairly easy. Substitute Nordheim for Iceland/Norway.

 

[Daz]

Hmmmm, good point.
I'd still rather play since I've never DMed a Conan game before and so many people on this forum have. If nobody steps up though, I'll go with that idea.

 

[Maglaurus]

I've had it in mind to run a chat-based rpg for some time. Conan is currently peaking my interest (I have several notions for campaigns) so if anyone is interested you can get in touch with me here or through the private message system.

 

[Evil_Trevor]

I would be happy to G.M. an online game. Starting with a group in Shadizar and moving on. If there is interest then later on today I'll post a game-intro proposal and if your interested set up a character (as described in the intro) and add a short description/introduction to the game intro thread.

If it would be better I'll set up a game web site (if it's better than running it through the forums here)


Trev.

Evil_Trevor: great! I had a swashbuckling Zamoran noble/soldier/thief in another online campaign that died in the spring that I really want to dust off and play again.

 

[windman]

i actually regestered to make my first post here to say i would love to play

i am a long time, conan fan and d&d/rpg player. i've been living in japan for the last few years and not involved in any RPG play since i moved here.

I have bought the Conan pocket RPG book and a number of the suplements from amazon just to read, and have lurked here on the forums for about a year.

i have dreamed up a lot of character ideas, and as soon as one of you commits to GM a campaind i will think of one that fits the setting and level requirements.

 

[Evil_Trevor]

O.k.

here's how I'll procede,

Later today I'll start a thread with some initial happenings, anybody wishing to join the game should generate/modify a character to play according to these 'rules'.

E-mail/memo or otherwise send a copy of the character sheet to me and then wite a short intro as a reply to the thread giving your fellow players a few clues as to who and what you are without using any game mechanics information.

I will write in the third person describing npc's and places and events, try to write character stuff in the first person. Feel free to use the friendly npc's as a way of introducing yourself.

When we have a party then shall plot occur.

Character generation:-
Ability scores :- using a average '5' score for the heroic generation system , results in giving an average ability score of 13. This gives a total of 78 points for all ability scores, bieng generous we'll round this up to 80 points to divide up for basic abbilities.

Character level 5, preferably two classes, equipment upto 5x starting amount but characters have less than 50sp 'cash', except for the one gold luna coin you will recieve.

We are starting in Shadizar so make sure you have a character that will fit in resonably well. For anybody who doesn't have the shadizar boxed set any hyborian or zamorian character should be fine

When listing equipment seperate what you are wearing/carrying from what you have stashed somewhere, Since the tale begins in an inn, I wouldn't expect anyone to arrive with a horse or carrying seventeen changes of clothes.

 

[TheSlayer]

I would love to play , although I have no experience in online RPGing I would be really interested.

 

[Trodax]

Since I'm leaving tomorrow for three weeks with extremely limited internet access, I'll guess I'll pass on this for now if you guys want to get the game on the road quickly. I might be very interested in jumping in later on if you need more players, though. Sounds like fun!

Hi Evil_Trevor, I'm interested, but wonder if you will be placing any restrictions on class etc. i.e. is scholar allowed or not?
