| I have some experience in DMing, so I guess I could. If we would do it the normal way, we would need something along the lines of a random number generator or something too simulate the dice. (Which shouldn't be too hard to make... I can make the function through Java... I'd just need help with the GUI. Would Buck be willing to add such a feature? If anyone would want to, we could try to set up a standard D&D campaign. Now, I don't have every manual so if anyone could contribute, that would be great.
Anyway, the way I'd start was by sending out character sheets (I have one in PDF form which you can fill out. I don't think it's too good to go with rolling for stats as it can get cheap, just rolling for maximum scores, so I suggest a "set score" way. Basically you get these stats 18, 16, 14, 12, 10, 8 and you're free to put them into what ever attribute you want. This makes you think about a way to make your character stronger and balance him/her.
As for the roleplaying aspect, I would like to stay away from asterisks (**) and type everything out in story form. My standard posts range from about half a page to a full page and it should be written as if writing a book. I would suggest for some people to use original names. My user name, Crenshinibon is a name of an ancient artifact from the world of Faerun and would probably interfere with the storyline.
Any comments or suggestions?  |
