Some of the info is up on the WOTC website. Previews and the like. . .

Wow, actualy an interesting thead in OT

I'd be interested, been playing and DM'ing second edition for about 8-9 years now.

I think there are D&D chatrooms somewhere with diceroll options.

[Japher]

If ming won't allow the game to be played here, enworld is a decent website for msg board gaming.

[Felch]

How do we handle character generation?

[Jon Miller]

GM rolls or Point System

Point system

I personally didn't like what they did with 2nd edition AD&D (don't ask for specifics, I don't remember most of them, though I hated what happened to rangers, and I thought the concept of immortal elves that nevertheless had to leave anyway was silly), so I stuck with 1st edition.

More recently, my brother got me the 3rd edition PH and DMG, and liked much of what I saw. Not enough to actually play 3rd edition, mind you, but enough to work of a 1st - 3rd edition hybrid (keeping 1st editon tables and spells, adding in 3rd edition stats, skills, and feats, and figuring out an OA - style partial armor table).

I've thought about how the dice rolling could be done
It would be a web script (on a seperate page), where you'd select the number of dice and how many sides they have. You'd allso enter a name for the roll, like "sight check outside Kalpatron Palace". The program would generate the numbers and store them in a text file. That way there would be no questions as to the validity of four 6's in a row .

my friends and i are pretty regualr pen and paper players, and we have all the video games (Baldur's gate series, Neverwinter nights, etc).

Ive actually thought of this idea, but lacked the initiative to go forward with it. i would love to participate, if it gets going tho

-Added new players
-Atawa and Lonestar: current canidates for GM.
-Point system.

We can have the chats @ rinkchat.rinkworks.com- a cool place, dice rolls built in. Otherwise, I was hoping to keep it in-house (if allowed). Is it feasable to do it in the stories and diplomacy forum?

i would prefer DM rols for stats over point system... i dont like the point system because everyone is at the same level... i like the realism of the inequality of abilities of characters.

[MattH]

I'll pm Ming and start a new co-ordination thread tommorow morning. It's great to see all this interest!

There will eventually be voting on edition, GM(?), char generation, and any other issues that come up.

Good point, but if you allow point swapping between stats that inequality will arise. Also, one could allow for the players to buy points with their initial cps...
