    Rajah Dungeons & Dragons Discussion Thread

    Rajah Dungeons & Dragons

    A TimeSplitter Campaign



    This thread will be used for questions, comments, and general in-game discussion. To start, we will see who is interested in playing a game. There is currently not a cap on characters.

    I have read a portion of how Cewsh ran his game, and there will be elements of gameplay that will carry over. There will be "mission/quest" based threads for the adventuring. There will also be a character sheet thread created once I figure somethings out.

    I have been playing dungeons and dragons for 10 years, and still play semi-regularly (being an adult causes it to not be a weekly thing anymore), but I have a lot of hope this will garner interest.

    Team based quests will be a must. If you know there is a stretch of time, let us know in this thread, and then we can leave you off that quest.

    We will be playing using the 5e rules.

    Put up a PDF of the 5e players handbook, if you guys want to start thinking about character ideas.

    Well, I'm not as big a fan of 5e and have been hankering to get away from it, but fuck it, I'm in.

    We aren't going to go as crazy as the handbook states. We really just need it for Character/Class information. I'm going to have to figure out a makeshift way to adapt game-play in a forum based operation, as opposed to a room with grids and what not.

    I would imagine it would be somewhat simplified in the same way Cewsh ran it. 5e is actually one of the most simplified version of D&D there is. I think something T/S could do to help simplify it is take away the skills and base everything off the core stats(Strength, Dexterity, Wisdom, etc.)

    I think what I need is to see a sheet and understand what I am creating. I think last time I just pulled things randomly and made a drunkin dwarf. I feel like I need a plan going in this time.

    Please excuse my ignorance, but how much experience and time are req'd to participate? I have only played D&D once, and it was about 20 years ago as a kid. And I generally only make it to the board a couple times per week.

    It sounds fun and I am interested, but dont want to end up wasting anyone's time, etc.

    I think the involvement is entirely up to you. I'm still messing around with some mechanics, but there will be shorter and longer quests. If you know you will be busy/away for a long period of time, you can choose not to go on a quest.

    Time, I don’t want to commit to playing, as my time comes and goes. But I’d love to help you if you need any, or voice some NPCs or something.

    That will come in handy I'm sure. Thanks Cewsh!

    I'm hoping to get the class/race breakdown up tomorrow morning.

    I just picked up a D and D game at a garage sale yesterday. It had a ton of parts and books in it. Interested to go through it this weekend.

    If it was at a garage sale, I'm going to assume it's an older edition.

    I googled D and D board games. This is the only pic I could find of it.


    Found another shot from the top.

    Yeah, I'm not sure how the board game versions fair in comparison to the rpg, but it is at least a frame of reference.

    Wouldn't mind jumping in. I've only played as a one off character before, but think this could be fun and help me learn more about it.

    Class:

    Every adventurer is a member of a class. Class broadly describes a character’s vocation, what special talents he or she possesses, and the tactics he or she is most likely to employ when exploring a dungeon, fighting monsters, or engaging in a tense negotiation.

    Your character receives different benefits based on Class.



    Barbarian:
    A fierce warrior of primitive background who can enter a battle rage. (Becomes stronger in battle)

    Bard:
    An inspiring magician whose power echoes the music of creation (Either sung or played)

    Cleric:
    A priestly champion who wields divine magic in service of a higher power (God, Institution, etc.)

    Druid:
    A magic user of the Old Faith, wielding the powers of nature (moonlight, plant growth, fire, lightning, etc.) and adopts animal forms.

    Fighter:
    A master of martial combat, skilled with a variety of weapons and armor. (very straight forward, if you just want to fight and not worry about magic.)

    Monk:
    A master of martial arts, harnessing the power of the body in pursuit of physical and spiritual perfection. (typically doesn’t use armor or weapons)

    Paladin:
    A holy warrior bound by a sacred oath. (a more advanced fighter)

    Ranger:
    A warrior who uses martial prowess and nature magic to combat threats on the edges of civilization. (Archers/Trackers)

    Rogue:
    A scoundrel who uses stealth and trickery to overcome obstacles and enemies. (good for lockpicking, finding traps, and stealing things)

    Sorcerer:
    A spellcaster who draws on inherent magic from a gift or bloodline. (raw, unexplained powers)

    Warlock:
    A wielder of magic that is derived from a bargain with an extraplanar entity. (has a pact with a god or deity that determines spells)

    Wizard:
    A scholarly magic-user capable of manipulating the structures of reality. (comes from a school of magic, that determines spells)

    Let me know if you have any questions about characters or race. I'm going to figure out a character sheet for this game. We won't be using the full one in the handbook, since we are doing this online as opposed to in person.

    I'm eager to get this thing going. Do we get to pick our class/race or do we get assigned anything to keep it even and diverse?

    Personally I know roughly the direction I'd like to go, but I'm equally OK with being a team player and filling in any roles we're in need of

    I'm not going to put a lot of restrictions on your characters. In this thread, discuss between the group what race/class you'd like your character to be. Some of you have been PM'ing me about backstory stuff already, which is good. I'd actually like that stuff to remain private until the game starts. Your characters will help shape the world we play in, making things a bit easier for me.

    My one bit of advice would be to have at least one healer and one/two "meat-shields" (character who can take a lot of damage in battle)

    Example: if you are all spell-casters, you will get killed easily, since you won't have a lot of hit points and an opponent can walk up and clobber you. Having people who use/give melee damage will focus an opponent on them, while allowing others to deal damage through other means.

    Again, I'm not going to restrict you, but I've played in campaigns where things weren't balanced, and we suffered for it. But, in the same manner, I'm not going to load up on things that are harder for you to beat, so it is entirely up to you.

    I'm inclined towards being a dragonborn, half-orc, or tiefling. I'm open to suggestion on what class, whatever will help the party succeed and fits with those races.

    I’m thinking dragonkin paladin, I’ve a few ideas I’d like to try so that’s one of our tanks if everyone’s happy?

    I’m also more than willing to flip to something different if that’s a better fit.

    If you’re thinking Dragonborn aswell mth mate I’m happy to coordinate our efforts or go suprise route

    When I’m referring to balance, it has more to do with Class than race.

    I want to play a human bard who is a racist. So, most of the posters in the US politics thread except with charisma.

    I've been thinking maybe half-elf ranger? Having never played D&D before though, I don't really know if that combo would work or be useful

    Only problem is you’d last 2.4 seconds before getting roasted and eaten by a half orc or dragonkin

    Agreed.


    I'd like to be a Cleric. Not sure on race yet, will need to look more into what the different races are like.

    So, lets try and look at our team so far.

    Magic:
    Hero! - Cleric
    lotjx - Bard

    Warrior:
    Rip - Paladin
    Dazz - Ranger

    So hipster or emo with a couple of short swords and a bow and arrow? I can pull that off.

    Drunken dwarves are a lot of fun, but be whatever you'd like.

    My current character is a Barbarian Dwarf who smokes weed or "chases the eagle" in order to suppress his rage.

    Was hoping to be a bard, but don’t want to double up if we don’t have to.

    I'm thinking of going Barbarian, Monk, or Druid. I prefer having more physical abilities, but if a more spell-oriented character is needed I could switch. But it seems like we have healing covered with a cleric and a Paladin, and at least a bard and/or rogue for support,. Between a heavy hitting Paladin and a quick, accurate ranger, we could probably use a beefy powerhouse like a Barbarian. But if someone else fancied it, I'm willing to switch to the other two.

    If you want to be a Barbarian, I'm open to being a Monk or a Druid.

    Round One of Character Sheets has been posted. Please adhere to the rules listed. There might be situations where I ask you to change things about your character.

    Feel free to ask questions.

    Two quick things, Knee gnomes speak gnome, not dwarf and Hero a cleric is going to be expected to be our backup fighter mate so perhaps a decent melee weapon choice instead of a dagger, clerics are generally tough sods.

    If you know then ignore me, just trying to help in case either of you had missed it.

    Appreciate the help, RIPPAH. I thought Clerics were more spell based and less fighting type. Manual said common weapons were best, so I figured a dagger. Will edit to something tougher.

    No worries mate, Clerics get some cool spells but generally they’re a bloody tough bunch with it, unlike mages who die from paper cuts

    Thanks to everyone who has posted in the character sheet thread. I'm hoping to send out character specific questions tonight/tomorrow morning.

    One note for the Elves. I see you are all basing ages off of standard human ages. Elves enter "adulthood" at around 100 years.

    As a half elf, I'm working on the assumption that they have a slightly longer life span than humans, but nowhere near the life span of an Elf. I went for 30 as using my logic, that would make me a young adult which would fit in with the direction I was planning on taking the character. If I'm wide of the mark I can easily adjust accordingly

    I was helping Melly with her sign up last night and it says:
    Age.
    Half-elves mature at the same rate humans
    do and reach adulthood around the age of 20. They
    live much longer than humans, however, often
    exceeding 180 years.
    So that's why she went with 21. Is that too young to be a smart choice?

    Pretty excited to get my character questions from you, TS. I've been brainstorming a backstory and such for my character the past few days and I think it's starting to take shape but then again, being pretty ignorant about this stuff, maybe it's total crap, heh.

    This is going to be my last post in this thread for a bit. I want to line up the start of the campaign to be my 15k post. The first few posts in that thread will be a bit of world building. Please continue to use this thread to discuss things.

    I will be sending character questions throughout the next few days. To make things less stressful for me, I will be working with one or two players at a time. Do not fret if you do not receive a PM right away, I just don't want to get backstories and character information switched up with 10 people e-mailing me at the same time.

    I didn't get a chance to build a template map, but I spent time finding a website that will help me, and you will all be able to see what the world looks like, and where you'll need to go.

    I'm not going to lie, you guys will be playing a big part of creating the world. It makes things easier for me, and let's you not be pigeonholed when coming up with a backstory. There are a few things that I will veto when it comes to backstories, but they are not going to be huge deal breakers.

    Bandit has not come up with a character yet, but he will have a chance to join in the story naturally as we go.

    I am excited to learn more about your characters, and get things going!

    I got my PM about a week ago and responded in a day or two. Not sure about anyone else yet, though.

    I did my background a few days ago. If he is using us for world building, this will take some time.

    So, has this died before it's even got started?

    I even made a little lego minifig of my character. I hope someone else can get this going if TimeSplitter has too much happening right now.

    Some of us provided enough detail that we didn’t need further questions...

    Hey Everyone,

    Sorry for the delay. The last few weeks have been incredibly busy for me. The rest of the year is going to be bonkers for me too.

    Thank you all for answering the questions, and there may still be a few more to come.

    The campaign will fully begin after the new year. I have come up with the framework of the narrative, and even worked out a map. I'll be posting a "main quest" thread when we get closer.

    Thank you all for your patience.
