[LFP] Tomb of Horrors now recruiting!

[Argennian]

Looks pretty awesome! And dual Jersey DMs to boot? Oh my...

Funny, I actually just purchased what looks to be a brand new original copy of this module at my FLGS out here in the wild west. It was all shrink-wrapped and hidden behind a bunch of bland stuff in the Used/OOP section. I'm also one that's never DMed or played it. Like many of the original modules I have either phycial or soft copies of, I don't like to read through 'em until I get at least a reasonable chance to play 'em.


Bill & Ron: best wishes and good luck with it, fellas. Looks like it'll be a hoot!

(If you start running short of replacement players, please post and let us know! )

[rredmond]

Hmm I've PMed a bunch of the board newbies. We will see.

Nuke66 there's still room.
Mitch you want on a wait list or something?

[NJWilliam]

I'm in!

Is there still room?

Considering your DMs are both from Jersey, how can we not let you in!

Heh, excellent on all counts!
How will magic-user type classes determine their spell book spells?

[max_vale]

Quick question.......do you allow 2 for 1 trading after attributes are rolled? (I.e. for example; lower a STR of 12 to 10 to increse a DEX of 14 to 15) If so....is this as easy to do as just modifying the attributes in the character sheet after placing them wherever?

The reason I ask: I just rolled a set of stats.....with one 15 and three 14s......which is great; but at the same time....the chance to turn a couple of those 14s into 15s or that 15 into a 16 or both; is VERY alluring.......

If the answer is no; no worries!

[Dogma]

I so want to do this, but seeing as I'm having trouble finishing up my character for Mithrandir's C&C game, I'm not sure I should commit and have to make another one.

Anyone want to make a character for me?

You could wait list one of the games. That'll give a little more time. Just a little.

Let us know if you want in, or if you want to go on the wait list.

As much as I want in on this, you better just add me to the wait list. I'll try this weekend to carve out some time to get my C&C character done for Mithrandir's game, and then start to work on one for this.

[Distorted Humor]

I am in...right?

ummm.... ahhh... welll.... oh crap, who am I kidding?

Sure, but put me towards the back of the waiting list, Ron. I know we've had a recent influx of new board members here that I would really like to see get a chance to join up first. Even if it could be as short-lived as everyone is saying!

Besides, I'm still trying to make the time to keep pace with both my pbps here and get those 1e Metamorphosis Alpha & Star Frontiers games up and going before the Mayan Apocalypse!

[SonOfSubmariner]

I'd like to get in on this too. I've never had the chance to play Tomb of Horrors.

How should we roll up characters without a campaign number?

Yes 2 for 1 trading is ok. Please give us your list of original scores as well as the modified ones post trading. Thanks!

[Bhart]

How should we roll up characters without a campaign number?

I'll talk to Ron and we'll get Tonixx working on that.

[SonOfSubmariner]

I have basic ability scores, experience, levels, hit points etc. done. I need to roll for spells known and then figure out what equipment I get I suppose. When do we find out what magic equipment we get and what thread to post in?

[Nuke66]

ok, cool, I will begin chargen sometime after reading some more, and we get a topic....

I would hope we can coordinate class selection so at least one can survive

[Alethan]

How should we roll up characters without a campaign number?

The Campaign ID field is not a required field. You can roll up a character and add the campaign ID later. It will retroactively make any rolls you make for that character visible to the person DMing the game.

[rredmond]

Our Campaign ID is: 97
Everybody go ahead and start working up characters!

[Stirling]

hope I haven't missed out on the chance to join a new game? Not sure how it may work time wise with me being on the other side of the Atlantic but I'll still get to post Mon / Wed / Fri am (GMT) so perhaps I'm actually ahead of you guys?

Anyway, I'll roll up a character...am thinking Elf rogue? ok, what do I need to do next?
