Dungeon Crawl Player Request (Currently Open for players)

1. Dungeon Crawl Player Request (Currently Open for players)

   #1

   Anyone interested in a RP-light, combat heavy dungeon crawl type adventure? Game system would be 3.5 with some alterations (less emphasis on position and reach).
   
   Let me know if there is any interest here.

   Sounds fun, as long as it doesn't mean you're giving up on Respite. I was actually in the mood for a nice dungeon crawl; I actually pulled out a pad of graph paper, a few moments before reading this, to draw out a dungeon. Count me in!

3. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

   #3

   No, I'm not abandoning Respite - there does seem to be a lull there though.  I will continue to post there.
   
   

4. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

   #4

   Exploring ancient domains of mystery, looting them and killing their inhabitants? I'm all for that.

5. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

   #5

   sounds like fun. kinda like what i'm running right now. And I have LOTS of online time since I don't have a lot to do over the summer at work.

6. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

   #6

   I'm in. Tarlith has similarly become inert.

7. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

   #7

   So - what level will we be, what races and classes can we play? What skills will be useless in this setting?

8. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

   #8

   Okay, I'll start up a proper startup thread.
   
   Unless there are arguments, the same basic rules as for Respite's startup -3rd level, limited book selection (unless you can provide me with the specs, and they are not too wild.)
   
   Roleplaying skills will be less important I suspect - though I suppose anything is possible.
   
   Interactions with the real world - equipment purchases, etc, will be dealt with in summary.  Gear will be necessary.
   
   Turns will have a faster turnover then Respite - and so default actions will need to be laid out in more detail - if in doubt, I will use your character's general archtype to determine actions to prevent delays. However, it is unlikely GM posts will come faster then 1 per day.
   
   Death will also be closer in some ways - the setting will be mostly underground and will be quite dangerous.
   
   If the party does not have a good balance of classes, things will not go well for them.
   
   

9. Re: Dungeon Crawl?->The Ruin of Hulathin Player Request

   #9

   The Mound of Hulathin
   
   A maze of shattered masonry, Hulathin was once a jewel in the Empire of Nor?s crown. It was a mighty trade hub before the Great Quake of Bloodyear.  By imperial decree the city was abandoned, for such disasters had visited it time and again, and the empire decided to heed the obvious will of the Gods.
   For years the empire cordoned off the graveyard of thousands, until the civil war shattered the empire. The garrisons abandoned their posts to return to their homelands, and now the city lay open to the looter?s pick.
   A small town supporting the ?recovery? efforts sprung up nearby, and it was there your company formed to harvest the lost treasures of an empire.
   The earthquake was divine will, wasn?t it?
   
   
   
   4-8! Players for a Play By Post D&D 3.5th Edition Game.
   
   Play will start with 4 confirmed players, with additional being allowed to join as they become available.
   
   
   Posting:
   
   I will do my d**nest to frequent posts.  PCs MUST provide default actions with their characters to let me know how to handle their characters will react if their posts are too slow.
   
   I may take liberties with PC's actions once I understand their PCs but will not place PCs in no-win situations. That will be up to the PCs 
    
   Game Mechanics:
   
   D&D 3.5 Edition
   
   Following Books used:
   
   PHB
   DMG
   Complete Adventurer
   Complete Arcane
   http://www.d20srd.org/
   
   Others at my discretion.
   
    
   Stat Generation:
   
   Random Selection- I will generate several sets of stat numbers whose value will remain unknown, you select which one.  Once selected, you can arrange as desired.
    
   Starting Level:
   
   3rd
   
   Equipment:
   
     2700gp unrestricted purchase. Somewhat typical D&D world with Boomtown (inflated) prices.
   Classes:
   Wide open within limits already given on rulebooks. Rogues and Clerics should be present unless appropriate magic items have been purchased in quantity to provide healing and trap detection.
   
   Races:
   
       Subject to negotiation - standard races preferred. Some races on Strolens _may_ be used, requiring negotiation.  Since characters start at 3rd level, it is possible that races slightly more powerful than humans may be used. This of course will count against your character levels.
   
   Alignments:
   
       Good or Neutral only. 
   
   
   House Rules:
   No Confirmation Roll for Critical hits.  They are _supposed_ to be fluky.
   
   Wizards may cast on the fly, but a casting roll against 5+Spell Level will be required, failing will blow a random spell currently memorized at the targeted level.
   
   Backgrounds:
   Desirable, but no need to go overboard. Little interaction outside of the dungeon and the local boomtown is likely.
   

10. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #10

    I'd like to play something rogue-ish; for stats I'd like the set number 3 please.

11. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #11

    I'm frequently the defender / striker of my group, so I think I'll try my hand at the mage.
    
    Sorcerer seems more appropriate for combat-oriented gaming. Stat set number 1 please.

12. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #12

    Stat set #6 please. Will Scout (from CAdv) be OK? I can provide range support and do some rogue stuff too.

13. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #13

    Can I play a) Catfolk from Races of the Wild or b) a dark elf?

14. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #14

    I'll need the specs for Drow or Catfolk - don't have them in my rather small 3.5 library.
    
    Sending stats out tonight
    

15. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #15

    Drow are in the MM and SRD: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/elf.htm#drow

16. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #16

    Catfolk have +4 dex, +2 cha, +1 level adjustment, +1 armor and a base speed of 40, low-light vision, and +2 to Listen and Move Silently. Sneaky!

17. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #17

    What classes are taken at this point? im up for pocket healer, or food processor (hack-n-slash).

18. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #18

    Both appear open at this point - pick a number from 1 to 10, other then 1,3 &6 and I'll send you your stats
    
    

19. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #19

    Also, you will be a semi-established party, knowing each other to a degree that you would join then in salvaging in the ruined city.

    Liana
    Pocket Healer (I'll do either cleric or favored soul, depending on if you allow FS. FS is in complete divine, and should also be on srd)

    Human Female
    Chaotic Good
    Follows Kord (to what extent depends on class)
    
    I'll PM a list of gear and skills and feats and whatnot after I get my stats

    #21

    Will have those to you tonight - my stat list is on my home computer.

23. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #23

    Sorry - got tied up - will send tonight for sure!
    
    Sorry!

    Rogue, Scout and Sorcerer so far.
    I could add an NPC if need be - I might clone Gideon (initial version) and use him as a door opener\tank, though he has problems with confined places :)
    
    For reference, Gideon is a half-ogre tank :)
    
    
    

31. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #31

    almost built - need to figure out bonus spells per day.
    then i will buy crap.
    then i will post.
    im wrapping up my game IRL so things are messy right now.
    
    edit: btw im playing healer. cleric of kord.

32. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #32

    Well, I'll frame up the start tonight - unless someone does something really weird, the cleric's spell capacity should be unimportant for at least a couple posts :)
    
    

33. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #33

    Okay, 1st post posted.  New players can be worked in fairly easy - they are already known to the party but have been delayed in some manner from joining. Eventually they catch up.
    
    Thruge - 2nd level Fighter (1/2 Ogre) is an NPC who will tank unless you folks don't want him. 
    

34. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #34

    How will we be dealing with things like arrows, food, and encumbrance?
    
    Since it's a gritty dungeon crawl are these things going to be taken more seriously? Like, will a quiver of arrows be sufficient? Or should I buy five? Food? I noticed no one bought food. And, I don't mean I plan on carrying a ton, but, should we measure out our strength capacities and encumbrance just in case it comes up? I'm fine with whatever you decide, but those are just a few questions I thought of while rounding out my equipment list.

35. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #35

    Ammo and encumbrance certainly will be considered.  Not having much food will likely be an issue as well.  Though it appears that the equipment lists are missing on a couple of the characters.
    
    I really don't want to dwell too much on food and water, but some encumbrance needs to be devoted to it or it will be an issue.
    
    

36. Re: Dungeon Crawl?

    #36

    I believe I sent a complete character sheet, including equipment list, in a PM. Let me know if you need it re-sent.

    and so of course...
    as soon as i commit to and/or start anything, life gets in the way.
    If I can be worked in later, that'll be great. BUT please don't count on me.
    I have no bathroom for a week (or more) and have to figure out how to pay 800$ or so of bills I wasn't expecting. and b/f got laid off again. so it looks like I get some long hours and heavy headaches for a while.
    sorry
