Hi there!
nice to meet you all, I'm a novice pen and paper player and DM, but a complete and utter newbie in pbp games, which I hope to change by joining some good game here with you. My D&D experience as a DM is made up by a couple 4th edition campaigns, although I still prefer basic D&D, 1e and 2e... Those were the games I played years ago and the games I loved.
What more to say: my first character ever was generated "3d6 in order" and came up a fighter who could barely communicate (intelligence around 4). He had the social potential of an armchair, but it was lots of fun!
I'm a little scared since English is not my tongue, but all in all, playing with you will make it better!
see you soon and thanks for being up and active in your games!

Re: Hi!
Welcome Pipes!
I think you will enjoy it here. I was a newbie a few months ago too. It's pretty easy to learn and don't worry about the language........you already write better than a few others I've seen on here.
So.....where are you from?
Enjoy the ride!

Hardcore! I love it. That's how we played OD&D too, with the supplements. My buddy Nazim actually rolled a Paladin... I believe that was the first PC to die in the dungeon. My 1 HP Cleric actually made it to second level (a spell finally!) before dying in a wandering monster fight. Gads, I dig this game!pipes84 wrote:...What more to say: my first character ever was generated "3d6 in order" and came up a fighter who could barely communicate (intelligence around 4).

This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.

Re: Hi!
Hey, if you're interested in an Old School 3d6 game, you might want to check out this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2918
I believe it is in need of one more player. It is a Labyrinth Lord rules game, which is a retro-clone of B/X. You can download a free copy of the core rules here:
http://www.goblinoidgames.com/labyrinthlord.html
Pretty much by-the-book rules game, so 3d6 in order for stats and such. The added bonus is the way it is set up, you don't see any character sheets of anyone else. So if your stats are crap, only you and the DM know it!
Also makes for a more exciting game, in my opinion.
If you're interested, read the thread carefully for things to be aware of re: the DM's play style. I have absolutely no problem with it, but it is important to understand how he DMs to avoid any in-game issues.
Oh, and welcome to the Unseen Servant! If you haven't already found them, the following links might be useful if you are new to PbP...

viewtopic.php?f=32&t=859 (running a game in the PbP format)
If you have any questions, be sure an ask!
Cheers,

Re: Hi!
Haha yes! I Always forget level 1 clerics have no spells in OD&D. So gritty! even AD&D didn't dare that (then of course AD&D 1E had plenty of nice little things like "the dungeon master should roll once every week of game time to check if the characters contracted one of those tremendous diseases due to no particular reason...")rredmond wrote:

Re: Hi!
Welcome to the Unseen Servant! We enjoy long walks by the beach, candlelit dinners, taking candy from strangers in vans, and the occasional dungeon crawl!
Life is a roller coaster, if you don't stop to enjoy it then you may as well not even ride.

just a quick question: I'm trying to access the diceroller but it says I have to register... Is it a different account from the one I got for the forums?
oh, and nevermind the colours, just getting comfortable with text styles

Re: Hi!
Yes, they are two different sites. You can, of course, set up the exact same user ID (and password, I suppose) for both sites, but you need to register on both of them.
