Would anyone here be up for playing some messageboard D+D? Not on the Dope obviously. We tried it briefly a while back but the DM ran out of ideas about when the first actual encounter started.
We alternate and do hybrids. Like, we can start with a module and go off in a different direction, or sometimes there’s module-blending, et cetera. And everyone DMs except me. They’re all experienced, and I’m not so much. So I never DM.
Hey, I’m starting a FR campaign tonight with some friends. What should I play? I’m stumped. I’m always playing human rogues, for some reason. Do I need to change it up?
I’ve never done it before but I have played a lot of D&D as a player as well as a DM and would be happy to give it a try.
Check out www.enworld.org for online games; there are several going on simultaneously there, in a forum set up specifically for that purpose; there’s even a separate forum for out-of-character discussions.
My personal favorite adventure to run is Of Sound Mind, a psionics adventure written by Kevin Kulp (Piratecat over on EN World). It’s just a tremendously fun adventure, full of exciting sequences.

What, no love for Under Illefarn?
Me too! Our tabletop gaming group recently dissolved 
and I’ve been jonesing for a new game. (I think everyone else in the group was tired of 3.5 except for me and my wife, since neither of us had had much of a chance to play it.)
I was very tempted to join one of the ENworld games, except that I don’t think the house rules would permit the character I want to play.
Only if you’ve got Great Cleavage. 
Heh. The first time I DMd a party in the Tomb, they all crawled into the sphere of annihilation trap in the first corridor assuming it was a portal; dead, every last one.
No love for Expedition to the Barrier Peaks? A crashed space ship, robots, lasers, and power armor! Yeah, it’s a D&D adventure.

Heh. I’m a moderator over there, and we once had a HUGE stink because someone joined a game with an inappropriate character (IIRC, it was a military-heavy game based closely on a unit in imperial Rome, and someone brought in a comic, flamboyantly gay bard character). When the GM kicked the guy from the group, all hell broke loose as the player tried to sabotage the game every which way he could.
Thanks for not doing that!

I thought Great Cleavage was an armor modifier.
Oh, yeah, loved that one.
I never ran it, but I read through it once. If I’d spent money on that, it would have ended up on the fire. :rolleyes:
I’ve played a NWN version of Tomb of Horrors (there’s a couple different ones, I believe this one was made by an author named Ghool.) It’s still meant for a party, but I went in there and soloed (and thus somewhat cheated) with my massively cross-played 24/16 cleric/sorcerer, along with all her gear picked up from several modules along the way, dating all the way back to the NWN OC, plus a little cheating from the help of Zorco’s Keeps. Let me tell you, that module was a bitch to solo, even with all the advantages I had (I think the total AC of my character was close to 70 with immunities to basically everything), mostly because it’s very very difficult to take out the damn lich solo. I basically had to hit him with a heal spell to knock him down to 1d4 and then still make a hit to actually destroy him before my character’s soul got sucked in by the lich, at which point there is no way out and no way to win if you are playing solo. Took me several tries to pull it off.
The same thing happened to my group.
They couldn’t believe it. I was even trying to give them a clue, as they stepped in one after the other, I described a whiff of ozone and a crackling sound; not enough to scare them.
Years later, we had a better time in Return to the Tomb of Horrors. Just in case someone wants to play it;Blackfire is the nastiest spell I’ve ever seen. Jaded adventurers were scrambling away in fear, and when one of them lit up it was comical watching them try to put it out.
I can’t even find a local group.
It’s a pity the SOA is right in the mouth. Better to have it down the gullet (which is coated with Oil of Slipperiness) a bit. 
I played about ten or fifteen adventures back in the day, but the first ones will always be remembered with a certain awe.
Well, that just sounds obnoxious.
In my case, I would have really liked to use my character from our defunct tabletop game, and would have gladly retrofitted the background to go with the campaign setting…but as far as I can tell, the house rules don’t permit archivists.
