    As Tigger has already said, I'm a crazy person running more and more games. Well, I was thinking of running an April's Fool special pen and paper RPG game. Total joke, not serious, no need to learn rules, pre-generated characters.

    Main point will be the silliness and most likely everybody will die. I'll post choices if people are interested.

    I just realised, it may not be clear to some people coming here, this is a joke Pen and Paper RPG. I've edited the first post to reflect this.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,642 ✭✭✭✭OldGoat


    Fools rush in so I guess I'm in, foolishly.

    Opening a book on who's first to die.

    I'm older than Minecraft goats.

    I haven't the first clue about d&d but tentatively in.

    I'll give it a shot.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,558 ✭✭✭✭Fourier


    Okay choices are:

    (i) Ultra lethal D&D dungeon. Five characters each, you move through them as they die.
    (ii) Game of HarnMaster. Characters barely last an hour in this (one of the pregens I made is illiterate and has congenital lice for example). It's like the ultra grittiness of Game of Thrones, except in you play the untrained peasants who get their town pillaged.

    I'm good with either :) What time you planning to kick this off tomorrow Four?

    In for either of these, especially the former.

    As I still haven't a clue, I've no preference for those.

    One bit of advice, don't get too attached to your pregen characters... more than likely we'll all die multiple times :pac::pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,024 ✭✭✭✭Baggly


    Option 1?

    Yeah let's go with that :)

    D&D lethal edition :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,558 ✭✭✭✭Fourier


    Okay, I'll go with lethal D&D. If everybody dies or we finish early enough, anybody willing to stay up further can play HarnMaster.

    For the record, the rule system will be Lamentations of the Flame Princess, a modern more lethal take on early D&D. I will handle all the rolls, so nobody has to learn the rules (for those of you who played the first D&D campaign here, they are identical, just the classes have different stats, so you can roll if you wish), you just tell me what you want to do and I'll tell you what happened.

    I'll pm you your characters.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,558 ✭✭✭✭Fourier


    Don't worry quickbeam, just wait the first few posts and you'll see, just pm me if you're wondering about anything.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,642 ✭✭✭✭OldGoat
