Perdita - An Ongoing GWJ Community 5e Game - OOC Thread

Pages

The premise is simple: The PCs are all members of the Adventurer's Guild for a town. Anyone who plays can also DM. If you get struck with an interesting idea for a one off, you post here, saying how many adventurer's you need and when you want to play. Anyone who is available jumps in, and you do the one-off.

Current Missions and in character "hanging out" at The Hall, head yonder.

GENERAL NOTE - Links got busted in the migration to the new website. Bear with me and I'll write a new post with the rules and protocols.

This sounds like tons of fun. Count me in!

Totes totes in.

I'm in. Love the flexibility!

I'm in.

I'm here to watch.

garion is so pervy.

Hey, share some popcorn.

Sounds like a blast!
I have yet to play 5th edition, but I have the PHB and I'd love to be involved.

Who's the mouth breather? Quieten down, some of us are trying to see stuff get exploded and transmogrified, over here.

I'm interested as well!

I guess I'm going to finally have to pick up the PHB...

I have the DMG and the PH but not the Monster Manual... Which means my monsters will be made up :).

But that's the fun part!

This sounds really fun. I (and possibly my wife) may end up playing, or I'll just watch.

I love the concept of this thread, Harpo.

Oh, when I actually get around to creating a character I'm totally planning to use this.

PARANOID HUMAN SORCERER FROM A SMALL TOWN WHERE NOTHING EVER HAPPENED WHO TAKES GREAT DELIGHT IN IDENTIFYING NEW BEETLE SPECIES

Tha site is amazingly good at generating viable character concepts.

CONSCIENTIOUS DWARF WIZARD FROM A POOR DAIRY FARM WHO HAS HAD IT UP TO HERE WITH EVERYONE'S CRAP

Hmm I do like this one:

outgoing Tiefling Bard from a tiny village who has an outstanding warrant for their arrest

And I do really like the idea for this thread, do I need to know anything about 5e to sign up? I can calculate Thac0 if that helps.

I'm down. In my twenty or so years on and off playing D&D, I've only ever been a DM, so this might be my first time as a PC.

Here is WotC's legit basic rules for 5E - it basically has all you need to know to play (particularly if someone walks you through chargen with a PHB handy):

Thanks! I'll have to go through that this weekend. Sadly it doesn't have anything on my preferred classes of Druid and Bard.

I think you need the PHB for those

Which I might pick up anyways just to go through. I've always wanted to have a Role-playing around book to just kind of thumb through when I'm bored anyways.

EDIT: Wait, how is there not like a 20 dollar PDF of the PHB? It's 2015 for crying out loud.

Because they gave away the core classes and races for free and the book is still in it's major release window.

Which is great but I can't even find a PDF version of the manual anywhere.

They haven't released one because...

I do remember someone saying on twitter it would be out eventually though.

I'd be interested for sure. What's the setup here? Play by post? Skype? Meeting strangers in dark alleyways?

Color me interested.

Probably Skype or another web-based RPG collaboration tool, there's a few out there - including plugins for Google Hangouts.

Speaking of, Obsidian Portal would probably be the PERFECT place to keep track of ... everything ... related to this.

Given that I'm not really interested in playing a Wizard or any of the other free classes I think I'll decide if I want to sign up after I pick up the PHB at a later date.
