Suicide Slyde

I feel like I need a new forum avatar to reflect the big daddy honorific.

Also, lets say someone got their hands on Star Wars Edge of the Empire. Is there any hypothetical interest in playing that?

It's me I bought it, who wants to play it sometime in the future?

Goose!

Seems interesting.

Captain Carrot

I could go for that. And I'd also be up for running more of Marvel Heroic in the future.

Peff

How's the rule set? Should I start looking for a book or is there an online resource?

We'll add it to the list of systems

Khildith

I'm down for basically any system.

I just like playing games and you guys are the best duders to play with!

Grunt's Ghosts

I'd play EotE.

Suicide Slyde

Just because I didn't make this clear in my initial post this is the beginner box so there's only 4 characters included, but I have no problem running it more than once.

There is the logistics issue of getting the character folios to each player and the special dice. Hm.

I did not think this through.

I think special dice are supported on roll20 now. You can upload images and make your own dice using those images, then right click and roll the die to see results. There are also "rollable tables" so if you need a six sided die with 4 different results you can have it associate 1 and 2 with one result, 3, and 4 with another, and the other two as their own results. It might take a few minutes to plan out but I think you can make it work, I've heard of people playing EotE before.

Peff

I've spent a few hours tonight honing my GM skills Also, I also found a pdf for a 4e adventure in my tabletop docs. So more options!

Suicide Slyde

Well that takes care of most of the issues.

But nobody get any ideas, it is going to take me awhile to get that setup.

Captain Carrot

Reading the rulebook for Deadlands makes me really want to play it (but not run it).

Peff

Question for everyone: if we started something to try and get a proper campaign/story going, what's the system of choice?

My thought is to get into some characters everyone really likes for our overall game and then once a month or so, have a one off night to explore new/different systems. We also could revisit the mercenacy idea for rotating GMs.

Khildith

Personally as I said I prefer 4th Edition, mostly because that is what I know best.

Plus the whole D&D Insider thing makes character creation/monster creation super easy and simple.

With that said if people had strong feelings for another game I'm totally willing to be overruled in the interest of their enjoyment, I don't feel strong enough to really argue on its behalf.

Suicide Slyde

I vote for 4e as the regular system, because this whole thing is why I bought the PHB in the first place.

I think the mercenary company is a good idea for rotating GMs.

Goose!

I can dig 4e, but I'd like it to be totally open to all books/stuff, not just core rules.

imafrog

As Khildith mentioned DND Insider makes character management for 4e really easy, which always makes things easier. So 4e would be my vehicle of choice.

Goose!

http://pyromancers.com/dungeon-painter-online/ Just found this linked on r/DnD, its what I've been looking for for a week or so, but if you're used to Roll20 you might not need it.

Captain Carrot

I'm not a big fan of 4E, but if that's what people like, then ok. I would like to try out stuff that isn't as well-known, like the aforementioned Deadlands and Buffy.

Leper

Room for one more at this virtual table?

Captain Carrot

Yup!

Anyone want to run the game tonight?

Peff

Aren't I already running it?

Khildith

Yeah I was under the impression its @Peff with Pathfinder tonight and until we finish the adventure at least.

I like the idea of finding a set system like 4th edition and then once a month or whenever the DM needs a break we can break out other systems for testing purposes.

I'm glad we've been doing it the way we have so far though, because MHR was a ton of fun and I certainly would have never played it without our system drifting.

Captain Carrot

Oh, okay. As I said, I'd also like to try out Deadlands and Buffy, though I make no guarantees of being a decent DM for either, since I'm still reading their books.

I thought I mentioned that in my post but apparently not.

I would like to rehash MHR too because I super wanted to play that but things didn't go right that night. And then disappointed you all had fun without me.

That is not allowed.

Peff

It sounds like everyone is mostly sold on 4e for our main campaign then? I don't mind taking the helm if you guys don't mind me still learning a bit, unless Khil has more for us?

Also, yes to MHR. Because smashing things and making it about Mother Russia was fantastic.

Leper

I like 4e. I have no access to MHR, but wouldn't mind giving it a try. Deadlands is good fun.

Is it more PF tonight?

imafrog

It looks like you already have a pretty big group for the pathfinder adventure. Are all dems planning to show up?

Peff

I think everyone is still in, its still the continuation/finale of the PF beginner box. You can always watch if you're worried. Or you can join and I can adjust the CR a touch

Leper

I think I may just watch this evening, like [because] I'm a creepy bastard.

Khildith

Looking forward to hunting for the mythical dragon steak my fighter craves so much.

Is it wrong to eat a sentient creature like a dragon? Hmm...

Peff

Some say cannibalism is only humanoids...others say sentient beings. I say that dragon meat has a very high cooking temperature and the quest for such a flame is an adventure in itself

Totally keeping that adventure in my back pocket for a rainy day, thanks for the idea

imafrog

I'll prolly do the same. Haven't played Pathfinder before and wouldn't want to try and learn all the quirks right before a session. Not to mention create a character.

Rhapsody

I'm gonna have to pass tonight gents, just moved into a new place and still don't have internet yet. Please remember to yodel in my absence.

Peff

But....who will wear your glorious hat?

Khildith

@Rhapsody noooooooooooooo

Suicide Slyde

Can't make it tonight, my wife just started a new job, and she needs the computer to do some work related stuff.

Hooray only having one computer.

Peff

Nooooooooo!

Here's the link again if anyone needs it: https://app.roll20.net/join/99136/oTcGZA

imafrog

So what are you guys missing now?

Khildith

Slyde was our druid, Rhapsody was... uh... I don't remember. Sorry.

Peff

The druid and bard have been kidnapped by RL duties.
