Shameless double post, but I just had another idea.

Would anyone else besides me be interested in a Dungeons & Dragons community game night, in addition to (or maybe instead of) a computer game night? All we'd need are, like, Skype and the basic D&D materials to start off with; no one would have to install any resource-intensive programs or anything; just have an internet connection, Skype and, preferably, a working microphone.

Whadda y'all think? That something some of you would be interested in, or would that be 'just too out there'?


I'm in.
Maybe we could run a couple campaigns so the GMs can play too. Though what edition(s) would we be using?
Actually, on second thought, we might want to start with a one-shot or two before starting any campaigns. And I might chose to run one of the campaigns, but I'd like to see what style people would want before I start designing it too much.

Not a bad idea; allows everyone to get in as a player.

I've managed to procure the essentials of the 4th edition, but there are some minor things about that ruleset that bug me- no big deal, though. There's always the option of running a simplified & customized in-house/homebrew ruleset, too.

Probably a good idea. I was thinking along the same lines, myself. I haven't played D&D in years, and there are probably some people who'd want to join that've never played it before. It'd probably be good to start with something short and relatively simple, just to get everyone used to the game and to each other.

I'd be cool with that. I've never been a DM before, so I'm a little hesitant to take on that challenge right off the bat. I do have a few ideas for one-shots or maybe short campaigns that I've been thinking about putting together some notes for, though.

Oh man, it's been years since I played Anarchy Online. Is there anyone else left on the servers?
I do see people there from time to time when I have time to play so it is still active.

I'd like to get in on this if allowed, and maybe even suggest some things.

I've seen some people suggest Guild Wars 2 and I'm down with that, as I do have an 80 tank mesmer, so I can help out whoever needs it, or whatever.

I saw mention of D & D and while I'd be up for that as well, have any of you heard of Savage Worlds? The system looks very complex when you first read it, but when you get to know it, it's very easy and flexible to make games according to your rules and settings.

I might also add LoL but I'm mixed on this. While I am level 30 and have been playing for a good while(actually since not too long after the game started), I tend to stay away from normal games, since it's been said on these forums that people on there are....mmm...to be nice about it...not so fun to play with. I'd play some normals with a full team of Wrong Planeteers, but I'm not sure people like using mics from what I've gathered here on the forums. They have added an option a while back to where you can permanently mute the enemy team automatically when the game starts, so you'd only have to deal with your teammates. I'm probably talking too much on this particular game, but I will add on a final note that I'd be willing to teach what I know to anyone interested.

I can usually download any free game that I feel like, so I would do that too if needed. Anyway, as far as the game night idea, I'd like to do it and partake.

I'm up for LoL. I am actually decent at it. Just promise you won't feed and I won't rage and call you all noobs and then ragequit ^^.

Seriously though, I won't rage so don't worry :lol:

Well, as I said, I've only played bots, so I can't assure we'd get anywhere. I've been looking at playing 3s with a friend on my vent, but it's only me and him. He's a good guy too, he won't rage, Actually, he doesn't care about losing. I mean if you want to add me, I'm Smore, so...there's that.

I'd ask if a WP game group ever took off, but I have to confess that I am not familar with many of the games mentioned above.

I'm actual going to start streaming some of my gaming, probably, in addition to trying to get this in gear again.

I found an RL D&D 3.5 group already, but I am still up for this one
