Dungeons and dragons

[zz_tophat]

I have played it online using the program I listed above, but running a game real time, even with that handy tool is hard because I have to type it all (3000 strokes in one sitting really starts me hurting) as I have a broken mic jack and can't ventrilo. I have run games on forums but they runs for a few weeks and then die out.

When I play a game on a forum I use risus, because everything is done so quickly.

Ah, so that's most likely a no, amirite?

[zz_tophat]

I'd like to but for just one player, well.

Let me put it this way, It's a very involved system I would need place to host stats and what not like http://rpol.net/ you would also need the books. I have no campaign prepared and we'd spend at least 2-3 hours just making your first character.

I'd be glad to help you make a Character if you want, just us the yahoo IM in my profile and I can lay down the basics.

As for running a game I need time to make a world (unless you want something fired form the hip that will suck and i hate that).

Sure, I guess we could give it a try. You got Steam/Skype? Skype doesn't need mics, I'll go by chat (usually do).

I have Steam but I don't run it to chat (don't ask). No Skype, sorry. MSN and windows live both can connect with yahoo messenger, failing that you can chat through the java thingy provided through the link in my profile.

I really want to try this sometime, but i can never find anywhere/anyone to get a game going with. If I could do it online it would make my life so much easier.

Hey you said its not worth it for just one person, ill do it to if youre gonna do it with the M&M but I dont know how to play either so I would need help also.

I'd Join too. But I don't really know how to play, So I would also need help.

Contact me with messenger, chatting is the only way I could help you make a character, forums are too slow.

Any game I run will have most of it's info hosted at http://rpol.net/ even if I do use gametable for the actual gameplay, so you may want to sign up there.


The setting is going to be my skyworld, with some additions, Nick wanted to be a pirate so I am going to add ninjas (with flying squirrel style flying suits) and vikings (aerial Norse raiders with light weapons that ride Pegasus') for stuffs and giggles.

Different system, Mutants and masterminds is a point buy system and feats are cheap, characters that don't spend a lot of points on power arrays tend to have a lot of feats and skills (that character doesn't have many skills but is almost super human in his "talents" hence a buttload of feats.). Power arrays like (random choice from the book):

CORROSION
Effect: Attack Action: Standard
Range: Touch Duration: Instant
Cost: 2 points per rank Saving Throw: Fortitude/Toughness
Your touch causes matter to weaken and corrode. Living targets make
a Fortitude save. If the save fails, subtract your rank from the target’s
Toughness save bonus before inflicting damage equal to your power
rank. Nonliving objects lose Toughness automatically and suffer damage
according to their lowered Toughness score. Damage is inflicted whether
the target loses Toughness or not. A living target’s Toughness save cannot
drop below –5, an object’s can drop to as low as –10. Living targets recover
lost Toughness at a rate of 1 point per round. Objects must be repaired.
EXTRAS
• Range: A ranged version of Corrosion is the Disintegration power
(see page 82).

My character had 150 points to spend I could take this power and change it action to "free" and be able to use it during a combat round without using one of my standard actions, making it the equivalent of a quickened spell. This increases the cost from 2 to 3, then from that i want to make it ranged, so the cost is now 4 per rank, and i want it to effect an area 5, then let's tack on some more stuff: progressive & duration (now 7 per rank).

SO for 10 ranks of this power it would cost 70 points (a great deal of those available for creation).

This power would basically allow me to throw a glob of corrosive stuff that explodes over a 30 foot area, effects the targets for 2 rounds as free action and the save dc would be 20 fortitude (spending more points I could make the save something impossible to make, 45? yus!, but that would make this power the only thing my character would have).
