Roll20 LFP post
Semi-"novelization" of the campaign journal ("The Setting and Environs of the D&D Wilderness")

Saturdays, 8pm-12am London Time (normally GMT, but with daylight savings right now it's GMT+1)
(next game is tomorrow)

I've got a B/X sandbox campaign going, 'open table' style, with face-to-face sessions during the week and an online game through Roll20 on the weekend. The goal was/is threefold: to teach myself B/X, to introduce the fun of TSR D&D to people, and to run classic modules I've never had the chance to run before.

Anyway, now that I've figured out most of this whole Roll20 thing, I'm pitching the online game for interested parties. , Come and play once, play often, it's up to you.

The basic premise is this: I took the B/X sample setting (Karameikos, pre-Mystara) and littered it with as many classic modules from the '70s and '80s as I could get my hands on, then churned out a massive rumours table. Players typically start at Keep on the Borderlands (in my game near Threshold), roll up some rumours and go hex crawling and dungeon crawling as you fancy. I try my best to stick to the clock so that everyone is back in town by the end of the session, unless everyone agrees to come back next week to pick up where we left off. So far I think players have uncovered bits and pieces of about a dozen modules across all three of my tables.

Oh, I hope this works. I won't be able to play because the timing won't work, but I've been wanting to get a Roll20 game going using a non-d20 edition for a long while now.

Following.

I'm interested. I definitely can't make it this weekend as I'll be at a game convention, but I might be able to play some other weekends.

Fantastic. Just message me here on US if you'd like an invite (the one thing I still can't figure out on Roll20 is how to look up people by their username; its forum & member interface is really terrible).

IIRC members can request to join a game. Which should be able to be done via your game link above.

Okay, I see it. Thanks Ron, that helps a lot.

Man, sending a new private message or finding a member's page is just about impossible unless you already have a link to it.

We had a good session last night. Five players, one toasted by the dragon when he decided to run instead of hide. Giant spiders infesting the forest were neutralized by setting the forest on fire (of course), and an entrance to a dungeon was found.

Roll20 had really bad audio problems all session, so I'm instructed to switch to Discord for the audio. I think that means everyone will be asked to log into Discord to hear/use audio, and we'll chat in the Roll20 interface.

Kill it with fire is always my plan C! Sounds like a great time.
I think the times I've used Roll20 we've used skype or something else as the audio component.
Maybe even g+ hangouts once. But Roll20 is fun! And 5 players is a great group.
