hi, i'm new on the forum, so maybe you don't know me, but i've been downloading roms from abanadonia since a few months.
i started posting here becouse the only reason i joined the forums is that i will like to join this AD&D game.
Just want to know if i can join, how often will we play (once per week will be fine, specially friday) and how much will the sesion last (two hours top?).
Answer soon.

PS: I've played AD&D (pen and paper) before, but whit the second edition rules, but i'm familiar whit third edition becouse i'm playing icewind dale 2 right now.

If only I knew how to play D&D...

Well, half our players are used to 2nd edition anyway. But as for sessions, there won't be any. Since there are several places on these forums where it's been proven that abandonia members cannot and will not agree on a common chat program, we're going to use the forums. And we're in different time zones, so we won't all be online at the same time.
Personally, I don't want to have more than 4 players in the party (which is already high-powered), because it would slow down gameplay even more.
But let's hear what the other players have to say.
And, if the majority accepts a 5th player, you will still only be allowed to choose between a Sorcerer, Wizard or Druid for a character.

It's fine with me, played D&D with 7 players once (I had to put out a helluva lotta monsters to make it challenging though, :ok: )

Yeah but you played in a normal, face-to-face session. If we play with 5 people (out of which at least 2 can only play on weekends), that's gonna mean something like 4-5 combat turns per week at most.

I would agree playing a sorcerer (i preffer playing as a warrior-thief, but a sorcerer would be fine).

About the chat program, isn't MSN the most used? maybe it is a little limited for a RPG, but it will work. And about the time, i think that 8pm GMT would be a good time to start a session.
Playing in the forum will work, but it will be really slow......

i will create the character and post it here, and then you can decide if i should play :D

Here is the character.

Bio: Saria was abandoned when she was born, because she is the bastard child of a noble elf and an human adventurer (she doesn't know of his noble blood, but she keeps whit her an amulet that is the Symbol of the noble house she descend). She was found and raised in a small town, but she always wanted to travel around the world, so when she discovered her magical capavilities, she found a chanse for going adventuring.
(Just a simple story so we could start playing).

Personality: She doesn't belive in the authorities, for her everyone is equal and no one should rule over no one, the only thing se really belives is in the common good.

LOL

That's looking quite good :ok:
Since nobody had any negative things to say about you joining the group, I guess you're in :)
As for chat program, like I said before: we will not all agree on a common messenger (especially pigggy, he didn't get that name for nothing), and we're all in different timezones anyway. I, for example, am in GMT+10, making the time of this post 6:35am on monday morning.
We will use the forums. Yes, everyone knows it will be slow. That's how we're doing it.

I'll add your character sheet to the list in the first post of this topic, then start the adventure :D


EDIT: There's something very wrong with your skills. You only have a total of 3 ranks in there. A level 1 sorcerer gets (2+INT modifier)x4, so in your case 8.
Second, you cannot have "Use Magic Device", "Sleight of hand", "Tumble" or "Handle Animal" in there, as sorcerers don't have access to them. And for perform, you dont have to list all subsets, since you put skill points in the root node, not in any particular field.
Please revise them and post another screenshot, only with the skills.
Another thing, put your skills in alphabetical order, not "how good you are" order.

Are you using the latest version of PCGen? You should be.

Thanks. :D
About the skills, i don´t know how the program works, i only had trhee poins, so i just used them.
About "Use Magic Device", "Sleight of hand", "Tumble" and "Handle Animal", they where already there, i think i got thes becouse of my race or something (i already said i don´t know 3rd edition).

I will try to update tomorrow.
