Dungeons and Dragons night

[Charles Yarnold]

Some discussion on IRC has shown an interest in having a game or 2 of d&d, I'm separating it from the main board games night as d&d normally stretches over many play sessions (and it would be nice to be able to attend both!)

While I would love to run this myself, the last time I plaid d&d was >6 years ago and my memory of how to play is a little to hazy to run a game.

So, how many people are interested, and are you able to DM the game? (dates and times can be thrashed out once we have enough interested people)

I haven't played for a long time but I would be very intereted in playing again. I was never any good as a DM though.

I'd very much like to play - been missing D&D lately. Haven't played 4th, but everything else, and I have some of the books.

I'd love to join, if you'll have me.
Never actually played before, but hung around with a fair few people
that have.
I also seem to have a character sheet from way back in the mists of
time, although nobody ever seems to want to let me use it... :(

I've played D&D recently.

Version 3.5 is more role play, where 4.0 is more roll play. Story
telling V's table top battles.

Though I've never GMed I know the rules so could have a go at doing it
if no one better comes forward.

You have found a +2 Reply of Affirmation.

I agree that D&D is a worthy pursuit but not a good fit for the sort of board game night discussed on the other thread.

I can't really take on DMing at the moment but hope to in future.

In terms of books I have almost all the 3.5 edition rulebooks (that's about 3 feet of shelf!); the 4e core (not my thing; it's a good tactical boardgame but too inflexible if you want to run scenes that aren't minis on a grid); a fraction of 2nd ed (from back before there was any kind of system; each part of the rules used a different mechanic!) if we suffer a bout of 80s nostalgia.

I've got a bit of 2nd ed as well, in a loft in Devon (give me a long
lead time to get them out though). I think I can look out the
Dragonlance source book, and a fair bit of planescape stuff as well.
And the core rules. Oh and WHFRP (I played more of that back in the
day) core rules, if people fancy a bit of Grim.

Not that interested in playing myself, though. Been too long and I
don't want the commitment.

Been a long time since I played but I'd be well up for helping set up
some D&D!...

On a related note theres a rpg club which runs every monday, 2000-2300 in redhill, surrey. If anyone lives down that way and would like an introduction to the group, do let me know.Currently there are two games running, traveller and starwars.

[Callum Finlayson]

I'll briefly de-lurk to suggest folk interested in D&D but disliking
4e may wish to take a look at Pathfinder by Paizo; essentially an
updated version of the 3.5 rules with an associated setting that owes
a lot to Greyhawk.

[Clare Greenhalgh]

It is so long since I played I will have to read something about it first..... Definitely want to though!
