Roleplaying Games Weekend D&D Campaign

I'm starting an online dungeons and dragon campaign with a couple of friends and I think it'd be more fun with a slightly bigger group than what we're currently looking at.

If anyone is interested in some live role playing over virtual tabletop and voice chat and usually has free time on Saturdays I'd be open for adding you to our game. Previous experience with D&D helps, but is not required. I'm planning on making it a regular thing - meeting for a couple hours each week. Our first session will be June 2nd.

 

Basher: The planned session fell through last try - had the majority of the lined up players have to bail out a day or so beforehand (one was unable to get out of some weekend overtime, the other was a no-show). Familiarity with the rules can help, but you really need little more than the time and willingness to play out your character's role. Since it has been a long time since any of my group were all together for a game I was planning on converting an old 1st edition 0-level module to d20 system on the fly. It's one designed as an introductory for newer players and requires little preparation on the players' parts, since everyone begins classless and only needs to roll up primary stats.

I guess the only requirement would be the actual programs we'll be running the session with. The Ventrilo client for voice communication (although there will also be text chat if absolutely necessary as a fall back).

Tangledweb's character profiler for online character sheet storage - their template auto-fills many odds and ends on the sheets where appropriate, and a digital character sheet saves on erasers and pencils.

And RPTool's amazing java-based MapTool program for tactical battles and exploration purposes.

LiLd3vil4u: Most of my players last played when the version was 3E. 3.5E isn't a huge step up from that so it wouldn't probably be all too hard to accommodate if they're willing. All my physical books are 1st and 2nd edition, but I find 3rd edition much more streamlined and easier to follow for new gamers - and having SRD documents fills in any knowledge gaps needed on my part.

I'm trying again soon, after I get confirmation of my players' schedules - it looks like it may be shifting to a weeknight...

 

Doesn't look like anything will happen.

Our work schedules are just all in conflict at the moment and we can't seem to settle on a meeting time.
