Say hello here

Hi. I'm the GM. This campaign is going to be about dungeon-crawls, dungeon / cavern / cave exploring, underground mazes, for now. Just classic old school styled dungeon maps, with monsters & scenarios & encounters & traps & treasures placed by the Game Master. Anyone who joins this campaign, please make a post and say hello in this thread.

Read the other sticky threads for more info about this campaign, how it works, when and how to join and play. Post your availability in the Scheduling thread please. Looking forward to running players through these dungeons inside a strange world! Your GM, Gold.

Hello, if you run any text only games, I'd like to drop in. (I'm not posting in the availability thread since it sounds like that will be an uncommon occurrence, so I will leave scheduling for the more regular players.)

Imp Unity said: Hello, if you run any text only games, I'd like to drop in. (I'm not posting in the availability thread since it sounds like that will be an uncommon occurrence, so I will leave scheduling for the more regular players.) Ok, welcome. There are +3 options for you, depending on your situation for preferring text. Do you have the possibility to listen on Skype on headphones to hear the descriptions, and you can type your PC actions without ever talking on a mic? Another method that may be available is having a Scribe / Transcriber in the party. They would type summaries of the scenarios in the chat, conveying the GM's verbal descriptions into text at the same time. It's like closed-captioning for any live TV. The GM will also type some, but not every word. Third possibility (last ditch option) is me running some purely-text game sessions, but you are correct that I will probably only do that rarely and upon special request. That said, I will run a text-only dungeon for you solo Imp, or for you & whatever friends you recruit, or for you + open invitation to everyone else, if you ask for this in the Availability thread and state some days/times you can play this (times not-conflicting with the already scheduled Friday-Saturday in August, if you want to request a text game later in August-September.) My usual requirement for a special-request game session is, I'll book it if 1 player commits to a day-time and we agree and confirm it. So it's not entirely for you to wait for me to announce a text game, it's more intended for you to start the process of requesting it and dialog with me on your time availability so we can book it, if you want to be the text Player to anchor a future session. Also, take this campaign concept as a series of one-shots or open-table gaming, and a GM-sessions-for-request, not a weekly recurrence of same-time/ same-party. We may game here on any day of the week, more or less often, and you may play or not play, RSVP or not, usually for any session. With the one caveat that I am looking for minimum one single player per session who RSVP's and commits to a time we agree upon. That is the one key for booking/opening a session, whether text or voice.

Hello, Looking forward to some old style dungeons crawls

Hello

Hi Ashley. Welcome. Can you go ahead and click "Join Game" on the campaign page ? It will take you into the game room. That sort-of registers you so that I can make a Token and space for a character sheet for you. We are playing tomorrow (Friday) at the game time stated, and I hope you can be on here then. Do you have Skype and a mic (or a tablet and headphones)? It will help with the voice communication for this for Friday's game session.

Hi gold. sent you my skype info , and ill join the game as well. Look forward to playing!

Welcome, Ron H. I will send you the Contact request in Skype; and talk with you & everyone in the schedule thread. Make note of the next 2 scheduled game session times for your calendar. Come and go when you like. Hit me up in the Scheduling thread to propose other game times if you wanted a different game time of your own. Be sure to go ahead and click "Join Game" on the campaign page. You can see the "intro" map and all the other players' tokens so far. Your entering the game like this will register you into the Token log so I can make a Token for your character.

Hi! BobM and OldSchoolChris directed me here for learnig to play :) I've allways been interested in these sorts of games. I've never had the chance to try with a group that didnt mind teaching me how to play. Hoping to take part in some of your noob friendly games :P

Hi Mystiq. Welcome. I am offering this game today starting in about 4 hours from now. It's open to play again this Friday. If those times don't work for you, you can propose another day-time for future week, in the Scheduling thread. Do you have Skype? We usually use it for talking during the game. Roll20 has a voice feature but we use Skype externally instead. Send me your Skype Name on private messages here, so I can send you a Contact Request in Skype. Please look over the introduction threads in the campaign's forum. One thread gives you the game rules in a Free link. Go ahead and skim/read pages 1-53 of the book if you can. If you don't have time, just read the first 9 pages. It will tell you the 4 kinds of characters you can choose from. One more assignment --- click where it says "Join Game". It will take you into the game room and you will see a dungeon map. This will register you into the game & I can make a Token for your new character.

Roll Call! Human, Elf, Dwarf, Halfling Fighters / Clerics / Magic Users / Thieves Can the following people please say "hi" and post something on the forum here to introduce yourself to the group? Welcome newer members. Please say if you want to play Basic Fantasy RPG "Explore dungeons inside a strange world", and when is your availability for playing? (Read the other threads in this BFRPG campaign for a link to FREE core rules to download to learn about the game & another thread discussing scheduling opportunities to set up a game session on your time schedule.) Kwikcuff haydn f. - Checkmark! Responded. Jeff H. Merias CountingWizard Tero R. Eric Casey E. - Checkmark! Responded. Playing. Chris B. Mystiq Fairy Jack W. - Checkmark! Responded. Playing. These are the people I haven't seen playing and exploring through the dungeons yet. Each of you has a "Token" and Character Bio waiting for your input, that I've set up in the game. I'm hoping some of you are ready for a go. Speak up if you want to game! I may cull non-respondents out of the campaign after a few weeks go by, to make room for more new adventurers.

i have been away for 2 weeks guys im sorry my appendix burst but im out of hosp now and ready to Roll20 :P (see what i did there) still a newbieish so yeh HI!

Hello everyone! I am looking forward to seeing your all on friday and hope that you can find a place for me in a game :). I have never played a RPG before however I have downloaded the rules and have read about 3 quarters of them, also I have downloaded the quick start beginners guide and read it through twice :) I feel that it would probably be best for me to play as a fighter for my first game as it seems to be the most simple class as I won't have to memorise spells etc but I am happy to play as anything that would fit in better with the GMs plan :) Really looking forward to our game :)

Hail, new explorers. Haydn, get well soon & take your time. If you are feeling ready, you can join and play on this Friday, or propose another time to play, or wait until you feel 100%. Casey, new RPG players are welcome. This is a fine place to start & learn & get an idea of the game. Every Game Master offers a different style. My style for this group is basic dungeon exploring. It is meant to be a relatively easy place to start with fantasy RPG gameplay. Then you can expand and explore out from here, getting a foundation in Basic. Any of the 4 classes is fine & "Fighter" is indeed the easiest place to start. Can you pop into the game room later today, or Friday before game-start-time? Ideally we need to focus on your character building for about 10-15 minutes, then you will be ready for starting the game & can learn more as we go along. Do you have Skype? We will need to connect, exchange Contact Request and acceptance, on the Skype before the game starts, too. You can send me a private message on here with your Skype name.

Hey Gold sorry that I haven't been in touch! I have been putting together a character concept in mind however haven't created it on roll20. When are the next games that have any spaces left in them? Im off work tomorrow so if you are around/free we could chat?

Jack, we are going to do a Friday game (6pm USA central), the actual time is listed for your time zone on the campaign's details page under "Next Game Time". It's tomorrow (about 20 hours from now). Show up a little early if possible to work on putting in your character. You can roll the stats on your own "by the book" or wait and roll in my special custom ability roller in the chat room (which gives a little higher scores than the book method). It's a pretty simple/basic character layout for this. If Friday my-time doesn't work you can pitch a range of times that would work for you, and I'll run you and your friends or any takers, if I can do the times.

Hi again, sorry I haven't been active :/ Waiting for a Wednesday or Thursday night game. I do have skype can send pm with skype info :)

Hey all, Name's Derek and I've been seeking a group that allows me to play with a flexibility schedule because my schedule is a deck of cards, and I only have a clue what days I have free almost exactly on that week. Gold offered me the opportunity to join his table to which I couldnt be more grateful. I hope to get involved and learn the systems used, and start creating memorable characters and stories with you all.

HELLLO

Well I dont know what I am suppose to say or where but I will just keep checking in

Cheers, Ricky. Welcome. As you saw, There was a full house dungeon full of players showing up tonite with several New players. I will talk with you in the Scheduling thread and make a time to show you character creation. You can make your character. From there you can participate any time I'm running a game, and you can propose new game times in the Scheduling thread (in advance). We will set something up and introduce you to the campaign, probably within the next week or so, ok?

Hello everyone. Figured that I might just jump in here to get some gaming.

Hello everyone! I've never played a pen and table rpg before but this seems like an interesting and welcome group for starters. At the moment I'm reading over the rules and hopefully I can adventure along next time!

Greetings folks! This will be my first Roll20 game so I am looking forward to it!

Hello there! I've played a fair bit of BFRPG with a small group of friends, it's the only RPG we've played but I'm fairly experienced in it now and would love to take part. I haven't played on Roll20 before but have been familiarizing myself with the interface and I'll definitely be able to at least listen in on Skype, not sure if I've got a suitable microphone yet though.

Welcome new players. SCHEDULE HIATUS UPDATE: This game will happen again, but it might be a month break or so, from now. Hoping to run this game in February. There is a certain delay, I can't explain the reason right now, but hang-in-there and we will get this dungeon reopened for 2015. MAKING NEW PC: Anyone need to make a character? Dialog with me (the GM). I'm still open for character creation meetings almost anytime. Note that it takes about 15-20 minutes to make your character for this, together with me at the game table. After making your Character you will still have to wait for me to announce the next official Game session time to play. It is advisable to make your PC with me in advance, so that you'll be ready when I announce a gameplay session time. Chuckles -- that's fine. I recommend getting a Mic if you can, but it's OK to play by Listening and Typing if you need to. So speaking is not a strict requirement for this. We can do the character creation in this format, I'll talk, you'll type. PM me with some possible times you could spend 15-20 minutes to meet with me for connecting skype and character rolling. I will be able to show you some of the ways Roll20 works. It's nice. I'm happy that you know BFRPG and want to play this. GM Gold, Explore dungeons inside a strange world!

Hello Gold, Thanks for the link to your campaign. I was going over that Basic Fantasy Role-Playing Game 3rd Edition pdf. I read above that you have character creation meetings? -Thank you

Yessir, Jonathan & Chuckles too, we need to make a time to meet-up and create your character in the game. Let's do that soon, maybe in approximately 1-2 weeks from now. We will also connect on Skype at that time. Takes about 20 minutes total. Maybe we can match a time to get you guys both making PC's at the same time & also if anyone else here needs a new character (?). Speak up! I'll think of some open times and post some optional times soon for such a meeting. You can also post your availability here (what times are you normally available for this), or PM and dialog with me to prompt a session sooner. It's nice to hear from the Players when anyone wants to make a PC and explore the dungeons. P.S. I'm making some "Repairs" on the Dungeon and plan to re-open it for exploring, actual game sessions, coming up in a few Weeks from now. Stay tuned & remain patient, Players, there will be a game coming up.

I would like to join. I am completely new to RPGs. Is this all right?

World Eater said: I would like to join. I am completely new to RPGs. Is this all right? Yes, that's fine, as long as you like exploring, adventure, dungeons, fighting monsters, swords, magic spells, seeking treasure, and the idea of fantasy story based gaming! This particular campaign is straight-forward and relatively easy to learn and try. The rules system is free and I recommend this PDF link, <a href="http://basicfantasy.org/download.cgi/Basic-Fantasy" rel="nofollow">http://basicfantasy.org/download.cgi/Basic-Fantasy</a>... Go ahead and save that PDF on your computer and start reading it. You can understand the game and the types of Character you could make, just by reading the first 50 pages. First, read the first 50 pages of the PDF. Then write to me again. I'm the game master of this campaign to Explore Dungeons. We can dialog to set a time to meet up in the Roll20 game table to create your character for this. I'll guide you for rolling dice for ability scores in the game table. You can choose your Class, equipment, and other details from the PDF. Then you will be ready to play the game when the dungeons are open for an open-table game session in the near future. Welcome! Feel free to ask any questions.

Sounds good. I'll get back to you via PM shortly. By the way, I do not own a webcam, but I have a headset.

That's fine, we do "Voice only" no video cams for this campaign anyway.

Greetings fellow dungeon delvers!

Hey everyone, good to be aboard!

I love it! Count me in.

Hi, Gold! (and everyone!) Would you please make a character sheet for me, so I can start filling it in? I'm not sure if I'll start playing right away, but I may as well get my PC ready. When is the next game scheduled anyway? Thank you!

hi all! new to roll20 but not to (A)D&D and BFRPG. will see if I can join in somewhere. I am from western europe, though..

Jarlaxle is a handle I've seen before! Hello all you newcomers! Be well, --Ron--

"Would you please make a character sheet for me, so I can start filling it in?" He is on vacation right now, I believe. He should be back soon. We're generally active here. "I am from western europe, though.." I am sure this is fine. Where from, may I ask? In any case you are probably only 5-7 hrs ahead.

Germany to be precise, GMT-1

Hi all never played tabletop rpgs before looking forward to getting started.

Hello everyone, don't know what started it, but I've been itching to play some table top games, and hearing that people play Shadowrun and Firefly is pretty damn cool. I'm totally new to tabletop games, unless you're counting monopoly. I'm new to Roll20, and BFRPG as well, I did play a lot of rpg games though, growing up. Especially Shadowrun on the SNES when I was a kid. I've got a mic and skype, and I'm starting on the rulebook. I'd like to learn the basics here and move onto other games like the latest DnD and such.

Sounds good, Abaris. I am looking into 5e, myself. Shouldn't be a problem Jarlaxle.

Next Game Time is currently listed on the campaign details page (automatically converted for your time zone) so be sure to check there. However, also, if that time doesn't work for you, please dialog with me (the GM) on the Forum or Private Messages, and we will set up another time to play that works for your schedule. Next Game is: Tomorrow! The dungeons will be opened on Thursday June 18 . Please send me a message ASAP if you want to play! This goes for anyone in the group. New character Tokens & Edit Bio tab set up for these New Players in the game table. Helen P Abaris jeremy c jaraxle d Kruvell Please log-in to the game table (Click JOIN GAME) and look for your Roll20 name on the dungeon map! You can go and make your character now if you know how, or ask me for a meeting time to guide you. It takes about 15 minutes to make your character. We can make characters at the start of the game session time too, so just show up and play. Any questions? Are you a new player wanting to make a character? I'll set up a blank character for you. Just ask.

ah, too bad, that'd be midnight for me then... somehow adverse to my work the day after ;)

Hi all! Looking to join in. I'm open for a character creation session Wed or Thursday... just pick a time in the evening and I'll be here.

Paul C. said: Hi all! Looking to join in. I'm open for a character creation session Wed or Thursday... just pick a time in the evening and I'll be here. Welcome Paul . Plan for probably next week on one of those days Wednesday July 1, or Thursday July 2. We can probably make your character then AND play a session of dungeon crawling on one or both of those dates. I can't this week (busy), so, pencil that on your future calendar and check back with me early next week (1 week from today would be good).

Hello all, thanks for the invite Gold, looking forward to a good dungeon crawl :)

thanks for inviting and hello everyone ive never played befor but hope to learn a lot. it says there is an error when trying to download the pdf file not sure if its available anymore but yes I hope to create a character and learn the fundamentals

Greetings and salutations. Saw your link on the BFRPG group here, and decided to hop on and join in. I am curious: do you accept homebrew materials from the Showcase of BFRPG's site for character creation? I'd been wanting to play the "Wildfolk" race from Sword and Board. If not, it's not that huge a deal, but was just curious. As of now, I've been looking to try out either a magic-user or thief (maybe both at the same time), or if official supplemental classes from the site are allowed, a jester or illusionist.
