Looking for Cork D&D group

I'm new to d&d and would like to find a group in cork for a casual game of 4th edition d&d

Rev.Sulphur

Hello Wonka,

I am a complete beginner and I mean beginner. I bought a players handbook a while ago with the intention of playing with some friends of mine. Who were going to buy different books but none of then have bothered and seem to have lost total interest.

I have been trying to find a group to learn how to go about getting a game started and basically make a character and everything. I know that isn't what you are looking for. But if you get a group together and don't mind spending sometime helping a guy starting off I am well interested.

I live in Douglas and I am always in and out of the city.

Hey Rev,

Didn't think anyone was going to respond to this thread!!

I'm actually in the same boat as yourself here, I bought the player manual, DM manual and monster manual but am a complete noob with no idea how to start off!!

Well there is 2 of us now so we need a DM and a few more players to get this rolling!!

I'm actually in Ballyphehane myself so Douglas is grand

Rev.Sulphur

This is the players handbook that I have

http://images.wikia.com/ppc/images/3/32/Players_Handbook.jpg

I think it is the D20 system, what ever that means

I have no problem being the DM as I was planning on buying the book anyway. The only problem is I am in the process of moving house. So I will be unable to do anything for a while. It's just I saw your post and I have been looking for a group for a while and didn't want to let it pass me by

Yeah that's the same book I have myself, its version 4.0. I also have the corresponding DM and monster manual to go with it.

Don't worry about having to wait as I'm currently transitioning between jobs and will be away on hols for 10 days at the end of the month. I've waited a while to find a group, I've no problem waiting a bit longer!!

Rev.Sulphur

Cool, sounds like a plan. I have one other friend who is kinda interested but she hasn't any books at the moment. I can always just give her a lend of my one so she can get a idea of it.

Cool...... drop us a PM whenever!

In the meantime I'll start reading up and what to do!!!

Did these thing get off the ground? There are (possibly) 3 of us in the Wilton area of Cork that would be interested :-)

Sarky

There's a club of sorts that set up a while ago called the Cork Games Guild. I think they're mostly geared towards card/board games, but I know one or two of the members and they're all into various RPGs including D&D, so they might be worth checking out if you're looking for players or a GM, or maybe a space to play.

Rev.Sulphur

Sorry for the late reply I have been moving house and all ready to learn and throw some dice.

Aaronogrady

Hey, I know I'm 10 months late but if you guys actually got something sorted out and are willing to let a complete noob join in, I'm in need of a group. I have the players handbook and dice. If you get back to me thanks in advance

Hey all

I'm back in home in cork again and was hoping that some people are still interested in starting up a group or if a group has an opening.....

I'm just outside the city and will be willing to travel to a game.

Let me know if people are still interested

I'm still looking for a game, still a noob and will need some help with learning how to play

Ran a game there testing out DnD Next (playtest rules for dnd 5) a week or 2 ago and it was fun. Would be interested in joining a game for sure and would share DM duties if people were up for it.

I'm Deffo up for a game of we can muster the numbers.... Have the books and they are just going to waste!!

Boro

So we have three then (including my friend) which isn't really enough. You want four players ideally and a DM.

Recon

I'd be willing to run a game for people who are interested. I've been playing for over 12 years and DM quite a bit.

I could just run a session for some new players and they could take over from there if they're interested.

That sounds pretty cool to me... Is always good to have some one with experience starting something like this

Recon

Cool, we could play with anything between 3 and 5 players, plus a DM.

Has anyone played before? I think it could be a good idea to meet up first and make characters before showing up for the first game wanting to make characters and get a decent game in.

That way I can go through the character building stuff with everyone instead of people trying to figure it out from just the book, which can get a little frustrating. And we can also make sure none of us are too weird or anything like that!

Boro

I've been playing for about 15 years and have DMed occasionally, I generally prefer to play though. I ran a quick 1 on 1 session there a week or 2 ago to playtest the new rules and introduce someone to the game, it went pretty well.

I suppose things like where and when are the next big questions.

Well I live in the Ballyphehane and I have no problem in travelling and I work office hours so evening or weekends and all good for me

Hey guys, if you still haven't set up that game and are looking for numbers. Would love to play and the books are just going to waste otherwise

Sweet! This can happen

HavelTRock

Are there any groups in Cork City looking for players? I'm a 34 year old guy, quite familiar with 3.5 and Pathfinder. I've had a taste of 4th ed as well. I have a lot of free time so I'm flexible when it comes to game sessions.

Sarky

Might be worth your while checking out Cork Action League, a fortnightly gathering in the Pavilion in the city centre. Lots of gamers there, RPGs are often run, could be a good place to pick up a few players.

HavelTRock

Ok, thanks for the info sir/ma'am.

Boro

Theres a few people around that would be interested in playing I think, just nobody to DM it!

HavelTRock

I'm already DM-ing one (and it's wrecking my head) so I really wouldn't be up for DM-ing a second unfortunately.

Aaronogrady

Hey guys/girls I'm still looking to join an already formed group or take part in starting a new group. I am completely new and will need help to start off. I'm 18 years old and live in carrigtwohill so getting to the city is no problem. Please let me know if you have any info

Thoie

Try getting in touch with WARPs in UCC (https://www.facebook.com/groups/169178175431/). It's college summer holidays, so people may be away, but someone there may be willing to run a few games. Keep an eye out for games conventions as well (next one I know of is Gaelcon, October Bank Holiday weekend in Dublin, but there may be one sooner). They're a good chance to try out a game in a one of scenario, and can help you meet up with others.

I'm totally up for playing a game if we have the numbers... Come on! !

C'mon

I don't think numbers are our problem I think it's getting a DM.

So how many players do we have so far?

HavelTRock

Me. looking to go a cavalier but thats not set in stone.

Aaronogrady

So myself EvilWonka and HavelTRock makes 3 anyone else reading this?

Croaker

Just got the new starter set and I am mad to run it. Would be able to wrangle a player or two from the Cork Games Guild. Anyone interested you can send me a PM or join the Cork Games Guilds group on Facebook.

I'm new to the game as well. Please get onto me if things work out. Learning with someone else would be easier than being the only new player

Croaker

Would prefer to run a session every 2 weeks on a Friday but if there is a demand could do it on a weekly basis on a Thursday. Might take a few days to organise, I want to gauge the interest on boards first then I will recruit some of the Cork Games Guild regulars.

Sounds good to me. Please get onto me with details when things are organised

Has this idea died before it even lived?

I think so man, I hope not though, I'm still looking for a group!

DemocAnarchis

I'm also looking for a gaming group in Cork, if this idea is still going. I've played in some long pathfinder/mechwarrior campaigns and have GM'd a little - a few one offs. If we got the numbers I wouldn't mind taking a stab at GMing.

HavelTRock

Im still very interested in playing Pathfinder, just need the other 3 to see your post.

Boro

Still also very interested in a game

HavelTRock

@DemocAnarchis

You mentioned you're willing to GM something. What would be your preference and how many players do you want. I'm trying to get things moving here.

DemocAnarchis

Well I suppose Pathfinder would be my comfort zone, having played a several year long campaign. Have only GM'd a few one offs at small cons etc, but I'd suggest running a one shot like Master of the Fallen Fortress, and see how we get on - maybe heading into one of the low level adventure paths.

I think 4 players (so 5 w/GM) would be a good number - tough to start off with a larger group. I'd be happy to run with 3 and keep looking for a 4th.

HavelTRock

Well you can count me in for Pathfinder. I live near the Lough so getting into the city and beyond isn't to bad for me.

I would be happy to play pathfinder. Although I am searching for D&D that doesn't seem to be happening so I guess pathfinder is the next best thing
