D&D For Dummies: New Player Dungeon Sign Up Thread

you know all the lvl 1 spells, pray to your god and load 1 for use that day. when you rest and pray to your god you can reload that or anyother of lvl1 spells. (you can load one now, ready to use, because you loaded it this morning)
just put an ooc: note in, i loaded "this spell" this morning

Really enjoying this so far, was convinced I was going to die a few days ago but the DM took pity on me I think.

A quick question though. As far as I know, I haven't yet 'learned' a spell as a Cleric. I know I'm meant to pray in the morning or something like that (and I even mentioned praying at one relatively quiet moment) but I don't know when it's morning, if it's still the same 'game' day as when we started etc.

TLDR: When do I get a spell? And what spell is it?

I got recommended the Honey Heist recently, to try out something new besides board/card/video games. I ran it, unprepared and mostly ad-lib... no structure, consistency or thought behind it, but ended up being great fun... though admittedly I was jealous I was not a player.

This kind of brought me here... so very fresh still... 5E... looks super daunting.

Theres also a game of 'the ward' starting soon too, were u work in a hospital and get stressed over work and affairs and accidentally killing the old woman on the surgeory table.

And necro is going to add that to his list too.

You should give creating a character for 5E a whirl. Two, or three characters means you aren't constantly looking for updates off the one thread when others aren't around or the DM is busy.

I'm currently playing Vampire: The Masquerade, D&D 5E, DMing a 1E game, running a Codenames League...

How the absolute fcuk am I still married :pac::pac::pac:

You need a wheelbarrow to throw the inactices into and wheel them about the dungeon with you.

No worries from me, had a laugh at your posts of myself just standing there.

So today we've had our first real brushes with death/actual deaths.

1E is absolutely lethal, especially at the lower levels as our resident DM (Fourier, not The Dungeon Master) has written at length about. A simple trap, or group of skeletons can wipe out an unprepared party.

Those of you with magic, study up on the spells in the rules and what you can stock in your minds/learn from your book. You will need them.

Any feedback on how you guys think it is going, fire at me. Happy to hear it

Molly, you have re entered The Hero Experience. Please fasten all entrails safely inside you until you reach the dungeon. :P

Basically as Digi says, it's primarily for fun. You loot dungeons and put your character's life in terrible risk of maiming, death or worse (looking at you Fourier). You level up by looting dungeons for treasure and equipment.

...then it becomes last man standing and we all enter a fighting pit, or a barbecue pit, I can never remember, but we either fight or eat to the death, or sire offspring with eachother.
It's a bit messy.

Quick question. What is the object of the game? Just get to end and survive or what?

Just checking, should I (Brutha) be in the new thread? I didn't seem to come through the portal? And are all the other game threads now effectively closed? If they are I'll stop following them.

Thanks...

Apologies, yes. You gracefully avoided the pile up at the bottom of the stairs by the will of Om :P

New thread up.

We should go on a quest for a bunch of TimeSpace portal keys so we can jump from group to group at will.
And a flying cart, we always need a flying cart.

No preference on my side, I will adjust myself to the rest of the party

Ok, folks responses will be a bit slower tomorrow but if people want to continue we can.

Otherwise we can arrange a day that suits like before. It seemed to work well.

Either option is fine with me, but it will be a little slower if we go daily. Want to give everyone time to play.

There's two groups now, so the other option is we can go a night/day that suits that team (or the majority) - and a second day/night suitable to the others.

I'll get Kolido up to speed and with one of the teams shortly when he's ready also, no panic.

Prof Moriarty/Lucillus... welcome to The Hero Experience...

I'm around for a while now, definitely 20.30

Grand, we'll try for 8.30 so.

If OG is out, I'll roll for him and Four if he isn't around too. Just wanna give you guys another chance at combat.

jasonb

I should be free around 8:30 or so, though Westworld starts at 9!

Thats fine for me to be honest, will try to be around for that time as well.

OldGoat

I'm intermittent for a while. Might get an hour 8 to 9ish. Feel free to roll for me while on Autopilot. Also, DoubleTap all zombies.

Should be ready in about an hour (max 1.5)

If folks are available today I'm here till this evening at about 9pm.

Any preference of days to play this week, let me know.

Ok, finished for tonight. Again responses will be patchy tomorrow. Around all of Monday so we can get a bit done then.
