[Checking Interest] AD&D 1E Tournament Adventure

[OGRE MAGE]

Hi Folks!

I am in a couple of games that seem to be circling the proverbial drain at the moment, so I am thinking about starting up something new on here.

I have an old copy of a 1E tournament based module from the early 80's that I have always wanted to run. It is one of the "C" series adventures and I think it would be a fun little game to run in the PbP format. I would run it as a standalone adventure since it is tournament based, so it won't take as long to finish as a normal module would. (I think there are less than 20 total rooms to explore) Though, tournament rules and scoring won't be used.

*WARNING* *DISCLAIMER* *READ ME*

This game will not play like your standard dungeon crawl!!!

It will be a difficult adventure that takes place in a "find your way out or die trying" scenario. To survive, it will take intelligent, rational, cooperation from the entire group. There is not a lot of combat in this game, so if that is your main thing, you might want to pass on this one. However, if you like a game that tests your mental meddle, and you want to be part of a group that thinks first and swings second, this one might be a good fit for you.



The basic premise for this game is that the party needs to seek a way out of a seriously powerful wizards abode while discovering all manner of wonderful, interesting, and dangerous things that this high level mage has created and conjured over his many years.



I am thinking about a posting rate of somewhere around twice a week, but please don't say that you can handle that if you really can't. (you know who you are)

I will likely have each player create a new 3rd or 4th level character of their choosing, depending on interest and total party make-up.

I am happy to include any of the newer players to the Unseen Servant, and would really enjoy involving some players who I haven't played with on here yet as well.

If we can come up with around 7 or 8 interested players, I will put in a request for this to be set up.

This is only an interest check right now, so please don't start off by posting a character sheet in this thread. (again, you know who you are)

Hit me up with any questions you might have.

Thanks!

This sounds like something that would interest me, OM.

( Alethan is interested in joining a new game! That hasn't happened in a really long while!!)

[rredmond]

Heh heh. I had a feeling. A game like this has been bandied around before.
I can’t play, but I will definitely lurk. Sounds awesome!

That makes two lurkers I'm a bit guilty of joining a lot of games on here so I'll sit this one out but keep watch of the game progress once started.

[Mister-Kent]

Sounds verrry intriguing! I'd be interested.

[Rex]

Sounds interesting, I am interested.

[Zhym]

Color me intrigued. But also busy. Put me on the "interested, but more than willing to be bumped in favor of new blood" list.

[Starbeard]

Sounds great. I will definitely be lurking on this one, since I know I'll slap myself later if I cave in and join now.

[NJWilliam]

Definitely interested.

[OGRE MAGE]

Looks like a good start with five possible players so far. (Thanks for the interest!)

If we could get about 3 more people interested, that would round out the group nicely.

Anyone else want in?

[Zeromancer]

What rule books will you be allowing?

[OGRE MAGE]

Hi there, ZM!

Welcome to the US!

Characters will be created using the AD&D 1E Players Handbook.

Anything outside of those rules can certainly be discussed beforehand, but nothing outlandish will be allowed. (i.e. no UA Barbarians or Acrobats, etc.)

[Monsieur Rose]

I was just talking to someone about a tournament adventure being run like this.

I'm going to stretch myself and ask to join. You really had me at "find your way out or die trying".

[OGRE MAGE]

Nice!!!

You are definitely in!

Just don't stretch so much that you pull a hammy.

[OGRE MAGE]

Since there was pretty good initial interest in this game, I wanted to bump this up one more time to see if we can cap off the list or not.

I suppose I should inform all of you about the weird way I do things on here before asking for your commitment......

I don't normally post DM rolls in my games as I am usually playing from a mobile device, making it a lot harder to reply with rolls easily or accurately. I use a roller ap on my phone, and actually like to use real dice when I am at home. Players will make and link all of their own rolls in the game threads using the US roller.

I will be utilizing a few of my normal house rules, but it shouldn't be anything that you haven't all seen before.

I like to make my responses seem less computer generated and more story-like when I reply to posts. Role playing is highly encouraged in my games and I find that works better when the game feels more story based.

Again, this game will be considerably slower than my normal 24/48 hour posting rate games. I am only asking that you post twice a week at the start, then we will see how things shape up from that point on.

So, if any of that makes you want to pull your name from the list, I totally understand. If not.....

Lets see if we can round out the list with a couple more initial players and hopefully we can get this one off the ground.

Anyone else feel like giving this fairly short-lived game a go?

[GreyWolfVT]

Waitlist me Rob, however if you don't get your cap with other newer players or less busy players throw me down on the interested list to help cap it off.

[Alethan]

Still in.

[Mister-Kent]

Yep , still in!

[Lunna]

Count me in if you're still looking for players. The survival angle sounds up my street.

Def. Take Lunna over myself Ogre Mage I am more than happy to be a wait lister to get a new player into a game.
