D&D Subforum / Pen & Paper RPG Discussion Thread

Fourier

Posted this in the tabletop forum, but it was suggested some here might be interested:

Anybody interested in an online play-by-post game of some tabletop RPG. I've been finding Roll20 difficult to schedule as most players are in different time zones and so would prefer an Irish crowd.

No experience required and it'd be relaxed enough in pace.

Games I'd be interested in running:

1st Edition D&D, but with one of the modern adventures (award winning ones published in the last few years).

Cyberpunk 2020 Blade Runner-ish, also going to be made into a game by the lads who made the Witcher games

Rippers Resurrected High action Victorian horror, like a lighter Penny Dreadful

All of these have very cheap pdf options.

EDIT: Another possibility is Vampire: The Masquerade.

What in the actual ****? So I have a blood drinking pencil that will give me awesome berserker powers?

You know my gal is chaotic, right. There's no way I'm not going to abuse this at some point and get us all killed... Apologies in advance...

It was too zany not to use and actually neatly fits in with a plot point down the road, as well as providing Legacy of Kain parody material.

Now I'm very worried about that mace...

Tigger, you need a torch lit?

Necro

Me too

I'll try to keep up but wanted to get it in early as I'm knee deep in rehearsals tonight

Mollyb60

Removal of heads and firey burning. I've hit my one anyway thanks be to the dice gods.

sKeith

Sure thing, but i'll be an hour before I will be able to roll.

Don't say that out loud! The DM will hear you! See how the fight is going, see if you need to ret-con a dog purchase and some retainer hiring into Scene II

Look how much better this looks :

Alexander sees the zombies and looks for something to take cover behind, leaving the fighting, for now, to the more physically abled fighters in the group. And Fleshripper, his humongous, ravenous bull mastif.

300 gold. Ok, missed that :P

Since we've left town, I'll keep it handy, I guess, and be in charge of bribes and such :P

Well... yeah, sure! I mean, I already took care of nearly half of them for you, the least I can do is take care of the other half I have low strength though and these buggers seem to be pretty resilient and I can't see in the dark. And if I get my torch lit, presumably that will act as a beacon for the less supernatural nasties out there. All I'm saying is if it works as a distraction, chop them up nice and quick.

Well, I'm in the fray already having charged into battle stupidly. I can also see in the dark and I'm relatively hard to hit (AC 3 means a 16 or higher). So off ye all go to Thurmonton and let the dwarf take one for the team...

The only thing is we haven't worked out who Alexander is doubled up with, 'cause he cheaped out on buying a horse. So if I gallop into the fray and it turns out he's with me... well... I suppose he lived as he died - torn apart and eaten by the undead.

DigiSol could still turn a few of them. Also, since they're undead there's a reasonable chance they're drawn to my ghost-magnet mace and maybe I can provide a distraction by trying to push through them? Clipclop is armoured and it would be in-character for me (bravery : foolhardy, plus my God has instructed me to ignore them).

Do zombies roam wild or are they an indication that there's something worse out there controlling them? 'cause worse things tend to have treasure...

No one died last night at least.... :P

Unfortunately I get **** rolls so I needed all the help I could get. Also thieves have to be dexterous.

Just to summarise the hitting rules.

Look at the top table on p.60, scroll down your character's class column until you get to your level. So a 8th level fighter would go 7 rows down.

Then scroll across to the enemies AC. The entry there tells you the number you need to roll (or better) to hit.

An Orc has AC 6, so if a Level 8 Fighter tried to hit him, they'd need to roll an 8 or better.

Modifiers:
You add your strength modifier to your roll when doing hand-to-hand. Dex modifier when using ranged weapons.

Modifiers are:
3 => -3
4-5 => -2
6-8 => -1
9-12 => 0
13-15 => +1
16-17 => +2
18 => +3

In addition for ranged weapons, you add +1 when they're close, nothing at middle distance and -1 when far away.

Let's take the example of Elin hitting the zombies:
Level 1 thief versus zombie of AC 8, hitting with bolt.

Level 1 thief is second row (note that first row is level 0, a regular human, like a farmer), if we scroll across to AC 8, we see the target is 11. So that's what Elin needs to get.

Elin is Dex 18, so she adds +3 to whatever she rolls. The Zombie's are close range so that's an extra +1. +4 in total to whatever she rolls, trying to get 11.
