Description
Online, 0e ODND, CST, Thursday-Saturday;
What?
Old-school 1974 D&D similar to Shadowdark, and Old School Essentials. Emphasis on open world player freedom. Party up and play when your schedule allows. Travel a hex grid. Meet, recruit, and barter with NPCs across the world. Carve out your name in infamy, fame, or obscurity.
How?
Discord used for communication and record keeping. Miro used for visuals. Voice recorded, transcribed, and processed for notes to keep the world consistent. To enter the game contact via discord or Groupfinder DM if interested.
Who is playing?
Drop in/Drop out West Marches style. Play 1-on-1 with DM any time on Thursday, Friday, or Saturday, or coordinate with others to schedule with other players in group effort. Player cooperation not required, you can adventure with NPCs for equal treasure share or hire them on other terms. Speak with players out or inside of game to meet in specific places. Enter the timeline in approved places. Having multiple characters in multiple locations in the game is advantageous as the world is vast and distance takes time to traverse.
What are the rules?
- Chainmail (some not all), The 3 brown booklets.
- Knowing the rules isn't required to play because it's so simple
- Character classes are:
Magic-User, Fighting-Man, Cleric, Elf, Dwarf, Hobbit
Tips?
- The DM will not remind players of quest options available to the players.
- Notes and good memory are important. Knowledge is precious.
- Hiring NPCs is a core mechanic
- No set story. No narrative or character arcs. Story emerges from random results of the game, so play like no one is watching but the NPCs.
