Hello everyone,
How it going? Letting you all know I'll be doing a PBeM game soon
using the Google Groups. As far as to my knowledge, there are no DnD
pbems in there like Yahoo Groups does, and I'm in a few of those. The
reason why I want to use Google Groups is that I want to take that for
a test drive and then compare it to Google Groups and Yahoo Groups.
If you ask me about MSN Groups, I'm telling you no because I already
checked it out. Space too small and it's not as keen as Yahoo Groups
and Google Groups are.
I'm going to use DnD v3.5 as the game. I'll be using a module instead
of homebrew stuff and or using a module and do something else with it.
The reasons why are: I'm already working on solo adventures by
taking 2E adventures (soon), 3E adventures (doing it) and v3.5
adventures (doing it) and change them just enough for someone to solo
in them (see www.groups.yahoo.com/group/the_solo_adventurer/ ). I'm
gamemastering a d20 Modern and Urban Arcana pbp game (see
www.setbb.com/adhoc/viewforum.php?f=18&sid=07b57042aa646f1286437fe5daf31203&mforum=adhoc
) using d20 Modern adventures and stuff, Urban Aracna Adventures and
other d20 adventures with Cyberpunk 2020 and Shadowrun 4E thrown in
therefore I call my d20 Modern and Urban Arcana world, Urban Modern.
In other words, it's mostly homebrewed. I also got this The Solo
Quester thing going on too (see www.cumessen.proboards74.com ). I
playtest the solo adventures I make with a select group of
playtesters. So, I'll be using a module to help me with time and
material plus I would like to see how the module I pick unfolds also.
Don't worry, if y'all do something unexpected that's not in the
module, I can wing it and or work with you. No problem. I may be a
rookie dungeon master/gamemaster but I got some experience under my
belt.
My posting guidelines and rules won't be as strict due to my other
projects and real life (see
http://www.setbb.com/adhoc/viewtopic.php?t=143&mforum=adhoc ), instead
of you having 48 hours to make a post, I'm saying you have 96 hours to
make your post. The rest of the Posting Guidelines and Rules are
still in effect for this upcoming pbem.
Would you all be interested in playing in my upcoming pbem soon? I
also have an assistant (co-dungeon master or dungeon master's
assistant in other words) lined up already to help me out as needed.
I'm thinking August or September and I'm torn between "City of the
Spider Queen" and "Expendition to the Ruins of Greyhawk". I'm looking
for no more than six players and I'll be accepting lurkers also for
anyone who wants to just lurk and also when a player drops out or any
problem, I'll be activating a lurker to player status.
When the module ends, it ends. If it's a success and we like how it
went and all that, I'll be doing many mini-campagins and one-shots
like "Expendition to Castle Ravonloft" and "The Sunless Citidel".
Thanks for your time,
SoloDM
