For all things D&D

[Troi]

So are we going to play or what? Haven't played in years so I doubt I even remember what to do but I'm trying to play.

Look into a system called Stars Without Numbers, apparently its a community favourite for a space themed ttrpg system. Theres also Traveller (apparently Mongoose Publishing Second Edition is highly recommended as well)

Sci Fantasy is always an interesting concept, so have fun with it!

Ooo I'll check them things out :0 might help me with motivation too :V

This is normal, I wouldn't stress, start with maybe asking the owner if DnD takes place in the cafe and whether its open to the public, and what days they occur. you could then turn up on those days and ask the players, DM whatever questions you need to. Just take it slow.



Thats awesome, I would love to hear more stories of your campaign, I am sure some of the interactions that result will be funny xD

Tbh, even DnD's system could manage this, We already have the space jammer campaign etc. Just homebrew anything you need specifically and apply it to DnDs system.

They have a handy Whatsapp community with separate groups for each hobby which I haven't had the balls to infiltrate yet lmaoo

You are free to find members who can spare the time to play and try doing an online DnD campaign. I don't have enough spare time to run another campaign currently It is good to see how much interest towards DnD there is here though.

If you need help remembering some things in particular feel free to ask here and someone will respond I am sure

I just miss playing games with you guys lol Life too short to not enjoy our hobbies. I tried to play a form of DnD on Discord once but I don't know. They were smoking crack. I didn't know what they were trying to do with the game and it seemed really random and unbalanced.

Perhaps they were trying a homebrew campaign, perhaps for your first campaign, joining an established group for an official campaign would be best. Things can certainly take an unusual direction if a DM allows it.

I feel that, would be nice to swing back Into things

If you have enough people to organize a game, you should give it a try. You can make thread in general forum games section or chatterbox etc where and when it suits you.

I have been thinking about this, DnD is normally done in person or over voice chat like Discord. Schedule is always the issue and I don't want to overcommit to something I may not have time to do.

On the other hand, If I could come up with a clean way to run a D&D game in a text based manner on the forum, the participants can reply and join in their spare time and the game could flow naturally..

I don't know how well this would work though so I might have to test this out a bit.

How many people would be interested in a text based format of DnD? If I can work it out like how I am thinking it would ease peoples time constraints. There would need to be a set of standards and organisation involved so it could take me a little while to figure out how to do it properly without there being too many issues.

Let me know what the interest is like and I will try working on it and then try testing it out with a few experienced players first

I am interested but I am not experienced lol.

I am interested but I am not experienced lol.

That is not a problem, Once I know how to run a text based campaign cleanly I will look to run a campaign, or a series of one shots with newer people

From what I found, it can be played as a PbP ( post by post) game. It will be slower but can be done. As for if we have enough willing partners, you can make a thread and ask.

Yes this is my intention, it will be slower, but that is perfect for people who are generally busy.

RP is life, though.

OT: Never played D&D, but would love to. Closest I've gotten is playing Baldur's Gate 3.

Nah, didn't have much time then. But saving it for a rainy day, cause I really want to sink my time into it.

I love the game, my friends and I are finally trying the multiplayer mode as two of them havent played before. Should be a fun time

Keep us updated on your adventure when you progress through it, would love to hear others thoughts.

Obviously may have to i clude spoiler tags if we do discuss it just in case lmao

My last campaign session.

In our most recent adventure, the five of us were summoned by three legendary mages, Tasha, Mordenkainen, and Karsus, who sought our aid in stopping Vecna’s dark ambitions.

Unfortunately, their powerful ritual didn’t quite go as intended. Instead of summoning mighty champions, they got… well, a group of barely competent misfits and me . With no other choice, the three archmages opened a portal and sent us into the Underdark to investigate.

We arrived in a shadowy cavern with little around us. As we spread out, Arthur, our bard, discovered two worshippers outside a hidden shrine to Lolth, the Spider Queen. He attempted to bluff his way through a conversation, but when asked how long he had been a follower of Lolth, he foolishly admitted, “Oh, I don’t follow Lolth.” The cultists exchanged uneasy glances before lunging at him. Arthur panicked, teleporting back towards the group as the fight began.

My character, Nox Tenebrosus, a shadow monk with a touch of rogue training, was first to react. Using my speed and mastery of the shadows, I teleported in and unleashed a flurry of dagger strikes and unarmed blows, quickly felling one cultist. Our wizard, Cal, and second bard, Jacob (our resident Jack Black impersonator), followed up with spells to finish off the second.

We thought we’d dealt with the threat quietly, but Isa, our rogue, decided to sneak ahead. Slipping through a door, he tried to [spider climb] across the wall unseen. Unfortunately for him, the lone cultist inside had [True Sight] and watched Isa’s every move. Isa, realising too late, awkwardly crawled back out, without telling us what had happened. Moments later, the cultist calmly opened the door, spotted our party standing in front of the corpses, muttered “Right then,” and bolted into a massive web-filled chamber.

Isa and Henry, our paladin, gave chase, while Jacob and I freed prisoners bound for sacrifice. But as Isa and Henry burst into the chamber, they came face-to-face with a terrifying spider-dragon. They wisely retreated, too late, because the beast sealed the corridor with a thick wall of web, trapping them in place.

Hearing the commotion, I teleported past the web and into the chamber. I closed in on the fleeing cultist, landing a critical strike before retreating to safety. Meanwhile, the spider-dragon tore into our party, pinning everyone in the hallway. Our wizard, Cal, launched devastating lightning spells, but the battle quickly turned dire.

When our druid, Saac, fell beneath the beast, I teleported in closing the space, picked up the druid, and then, using [Step of the Wind], dragged him to safety, and used a healing scroll to stabilise him. With the fight reaching its climax, our wizard unleashed a final storm of [chain lightning], frying the cultist and bringing down the monstrous spider-dragon.

Exhausted, bloodied, and barely standing, we survived, just.... while my character stood in the webbed chamber without a scratch on him.
