Dave's 2E Sandbox [Wait List]

Dave's 2E Sandbox


Description
This game will hopefully be a long running, completely sandboxed adventure for starting 1st level characters. The game will begin in a general setting and the party will be provided with any number of potential plot hooks. Where the game goes is really up to the players.


Rules (Updated: Friday, October 3, 2014)
This will no longer be a 1E game using the OSRIC A5 rules document, but will be run using 2E system. Any kit will be considered, and I may implement a few options from the "Player's Options" books, but there will not be any point buy system. I do not own any 2E materials so I will be using Purple Worm website and some house rules. See this post for my take on 2E: Game Longevity.


Pace of Play
Daily, excluding weekends and major US holidays.


Things Prospective Players Should Know
1) I expect players to keep out-of-character (ooc) chatter in the dedicated 'OOC' thread and not litter the 'action' threads with it. I accept that it may occasionally be unavoidable, but I do ask that players make a genuine effort to avoid using that crutch.

Before hitting 'submit' on a post that contains an out-of-character question or statement, ask yourself if it could be asked in-character instead. For example:

This is lazy:
Does anyone have any rope?

When this is possible:
Looking to quickly secure their new prisoner, Hatcher reaches to his side where his rope used to hang, before quickly realizing he was forced to leave it behind during their narrow escape the other night. Never loosening his hold on the goblins slender arm, "Rope. Anyone have some?" he inquires.

Yes, it is more work, but I believe it leads to a better game.

2) My games use a public forum where all the action takes place, but each player is also assigned a private sub-forum. I like that classes, hit points, alignments, possessions, etc... are kept hidden from other players. All character sheets will be saved in these individual private forums, and any private actions or questions can also take place there as well.

3) Characters die. I don't do it on purpose, but it happens. I do not "fudge" rolls, and post almost all DM rolls publicly.


Availability
Active players are always welcome to apply. I currently have a full roster, but I will start a waitlist for interested any interested players.

Unless it happens during the characters' first encounter (in which case, I will let that player generate a new character and rejoin immediately), once a character gets killed, the next player on the waiting list will be worked into the game. The player whose character got killed, if they're still interested, will be added to the end of the waiting list, and so on. I will continuously cycle through this list for as long as it makes sense.

Dude, you've already been in. Glad your situation has changed and you're able to jump in.

No problem, Ed, you're at the bottom of the waitlist.

[GreyWolfVT]

No problem, man. I always reach out and ping players when their time is approaching to verify they're still interested and available. I imagine, with you being five deep on the list, it might be a while before your number gets called. For the players before you, I hope that's the case.

[GreyWolfVT]

I like to play in the sandbox so long as you don't have any cats around

on a serious note good to know and thanks

Nice, man. You're in. I might even bump you ahead of Ed, since he specifically requested to be thrown to the bottom.

[GreyWolfVT]

yes Thanks Dave. That is exactly what i meant
