AD&D (1st edition) OSRIC group - GMT +2

  Hey, my group and I  are looking for a few brave adventurers to venture forth into the magical world of dungeons and dragons with us.   We will be playing using the OSRIC rules (AD&D rule compendium) available legally, for free here: Drivethru Rpg - Osric rules   We will also be using several houserules , so we wont follow the rulebook at all times... we are also playing in a homebrew fantasyworld.   The classes that will be accepted are: Cleric, Fighter, Magic-user and thief.   The races available will be: Dwarf, elf, human and halfling.   These restrictions might change in the future.   I will accept between 2-4 new players as we already have 2 from before in the campaign, however, all will start at lv 1.   We will also not have any multi- and/or dual-classing.   Before you post interest, please note: All who want  a spot in our group will be required to follow this thread... I will not go chasing people in PMs I am rather rusty when it comes to first edition, and the other players havent ever played it before, we expect you to be patient with this. Post interest here in the thread, if you write in PMs, I might forget as I just check this thread when putting the group together. We will be playing at times around 18-21 to about 23-24 GMT +2 When posting interest write what you would be interested in playing and what times and days you would be able to play. When posting a time... ALWAYS use a GMT timezone reference... (There are several CST, PST, EST and such timezones in the world some being almost a day in difference between them, and no other timezone reference than GMT will be accepted). If you do not know what your timezone is related to GMT, you can use a timezoneconverter, like this one click to go to worldclock timeconverter. If there is anything else you want to know, feel free to ask (preferably here, but PM is also ok).

Hey man, I'd love to join. I'll be a little rusty but I'm sure it won't be too hard to get back in the groove. I am open almost every day, CST, at really any time. From after 10 AM (Gotta sleep man) To 6 in the morning hehe. I think I will make a dwarf or human fighter. Sorry about that, GMT - 6. Also, do you have a skype or something so we can coordinate on things?

Hello Bromorin! Love to have you. Please post with GMT timezone reference. :)

My character is called Walice Redsleeves He is a human that sucks at using weapons, and tries his best not to kill his friends by mistake. For the most part he prefers to use his wits to get out of heated situations, seeing as he isn't the strongest fellow. His hair is black/white split down the middle. This has resulted in him being mocked, and called "Chesshead". He wears a brown leather jacket, and brown leather pants. His favourite beverage is the juice of the legendary Blue Apple(but any juice is fine as long as it has a tiny umbrella in the cup)  Here is what he would look like, from the side of his head, which has black hair

Whoa, so, Michael over here redirected me here :D Would you mind if i join in?

  I wouldnt mind at all :)   So about what times are you able to play?   Please make sure you read the "good to knows" up top.

I might want to join. I'll be a human fighter. Never played 1e before, but I'll start reading right away :) Oh! I'm a heavy roleplayer; I don't dig hack 'n slash. Also, I'm on GMT + 2

lol. everybody wants to be a fighter

What day of the week would this be on?

I would love to play! I'm sorely looking for a group right now AND I've never played AD&D so it is always nice to pickup a new system. I am looking at being a Human Magic-user. I am available from 18:00 GMT +2 to 24:00 GMT + 2. Any day... I think.

I am available any day, from GMT +2 18:00 to GMT +2 24:00. Got loads of time. I'd prefer to play as a thief, though i do have some questions about character creation, regarding whether we do it by ourselves (point buy) or will we randomize, because i'm up for both

To anyone who hasn't chosen a class yet, we still don't have a healer, just saying :)

Oh yea Bromorin S. Karl Leuvis and anyone else who is pretty much sure they will join, add me on skype: mika260495

We will roll stats together over roll20. 4d6 - lowest dice method. Also, Michael is adding people to a skypegroup we have... so you can always poke him or me and hand either of us your skype. I am currently writing the adventure, hoping to maybe make it a campaign.

  There is no pressure to choose a cleric Michael :) They can choose any class, good roleplaying is worth more than survival :)

but i like survival D;

Thats why wizards know spells like invisability, expeditious retreat and summon schrubberies.

Schrubberies!?!?!? Ni.

if i can join i can i use the cleric from our other game since you are in need of one it looks like in this one

  Or you could go by fighting military medic (wich I am) tactics... Kill everything quickly and thus minimizing the damage done to your own troops... take and secure ground and then tend the wounded.

that is how i like to play my clerics that would work perfectly

I was redirected here by Michael (Thanks for the tip, btw) I'm available weeknights (for me) from 22:30 GMT to 05:00 GMT (I'm on EST, which I believe is GMT - 4). I'd be willing to play any character, but it appears as if a rogue or magic-user is needed?

actually i think we have both a rogue, magic-user, and a warrior

actually not "a" warrior, more like 3 warriors :D

Ah, I'm comfortable with cleric then, if you'll have me :)

Ok ok :) we will go by order of interest posted.   You dont need to feel that you have to feel a role, I am ok with running and adventure with 4 thieves or maybe 4 magic users/fighters/clerics or whatever.   I am currently writing the adventure and please send me PMs with the ideas you have for your characters :)

Here is a link to the campaign <a href="https://app.roll20.net/join/67838/e_DAGA" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/join/67838/e_DAGA</a> IMPORTANT:&nbsp; Post interest in this thread before you join that campaign/group... I dont want random people in that campaign.

I would like to join your adventure as well. My character is called Rollo The Bro a fighter and the Son of Bjon a noble dwarf who lost most of his fortune on debts he owed to elves. To gain his wealth back the elves wanted Bjons son Rollo to attend their college in loran&nbsp;There he joined the the triple B Blood bowl league and became &nbsp;a all star player and first dwarf to play on all elf team. Rollo the bro they called him and he won the Triple B Blood bowl championship. After leaving loran he decided that he become a adventurer rather then go back home for he is ashamed for his father being forced to go to a magic school which he is heavily against magic If I could he gains a plus 1 for Magic Def from his history at the magic college but a -1 in Intelligence because he drinks alot. Now Rollo the bro the only dwarf expert in magic he has become a freelanced mercenary. Hired by other adventurers to help seek out Fort Mas in the land of marin&nbsp; He's a real fun person to quest with. &nbsp;

&nbsp; Hello there Cris, very interesting character there, but when making a character in a existing world, one should minimize the use of made up places in the world (as they most likely do not exist in the world) and maybe you should take a look on how the different races interact with eachother in the threads on the Campaignpage.

Ok I will edit it

It looks like my new job is going to end up becoming a scheduling conflict, forcing me to duck out of this adventure :( If you host another game sometime, let me know, as this world/adventure looks really fun :)

I am a total noob when it comes to everything D&amp;D related and if you could hold my hand, that would be great. Also I'd like to say that I am glad to find a campaign that fits my Timezone (GMT+1 The Netherlands) How do you go about Wealth? Roleplay? and already owned gear and clothing, will that result in having less starting wealth or.. ? Mounts, pets maybe a bodyguard? (Always wanted a giant lizard mount.) PS I also made a Pathfinder Character (Human Fighter.). I would like to base my character on that. It has general Traits and Feats and I am sure that I could use those in my new character if I am able to join you guys.

Chris, there is basically no interaction between elves and dwarves since a long time ago. Also, there is no bloodbowl sport, there is no colleges... Think of think of this as a world around the age 1300 AD... but the land you are in have an unusual amount of magicians because of the land being ruled by a wizard council... &nbsp; Mick, we will roll for your starting funds, and then you buy some basic gear. &nbsp; This will not be a hack and slash adventure hopefully, and Id like you to roleplay your characters when we play.

Any dates set? How many times a week/month? You do understand that I have no clue about rules whatsoever. Oh and will we be using speech and Roll20 or chat?

No date set yet. Hopefully we will be able to play once a week, however... summers are harder to keep a game regular with vacations and all. There are ways around the verbal component in spells if the DM approves it. &nbsp; All characters will start out with the following equipment: A linen undertunic A woolen tunic Soft leather boots Breches (underwear- goes down to the knee and is covered by the hoses) Hoses (long socks that cover all the leg and acts as pants) Leather belt Dagger with sheat a small Moneypouch. A woolen cloak. A waterskin.

I would be interested playing a mage though. Maybe a cleric. But I'd prefer a fighter.

Hi I'm interested in playing, I haven't played D&amp;D before but have watched games being played quite often. I'm in GMT-8 (PST - California) and should be available at the times stated above. Thanks! I'm interested in playing a halfling thief or elf cleric, leaning towards the thief.

&nbsp; Mick, its your choice :) &nbsp; Any one of them could be awesome :) &nbsp; Hello Baran, depending on who is still sticking around, we may be full. &nbsp; If not, Id be happy to have you. &nbsp; Ah, thieves can be great fun :)

Ok Are there any differences in mages? I've heard about Black/red/white robed mages.. Still need to decide whether I want to be a mage, cleric or a fighter.

After some thinking I'll go mage. If that's still available, otherwise a fighter or cleric.

Mick v. said: After some thinking I'll go mage. If that's still available, otherwise a fighter or cleric. add me on skype( mika260495 ) so that i can add you to our AD&amp;D group there

&nbsp; Different kinds of mages are in your (the groups) case, not an option at this point.

Who is still here?

Me :D

ME ME ME ME :D

Yup!

Then we should have enough. Have you started on a character yet Jake?

I am also still present.

&nbsp; Goodie Karl, do you have you digital copy of the rulebook and have you started your character creation yet?

I would love to join and play as a fighter elf...we have a bi monthly local game here but other than that my times are totally open
