I. Introductions

Hello reader, as you probably already now I am NoblemanNick, a member here on RMN. Alright so there has been previous tries at a Dungeons and Dragons group here. The the best one only lasted for about six sessions due to many obstacles(work, viruses etc.) Now this is possibly my final try at assembling a group of Dungeon and Dragon players here. Now the big thing that happened was after a while due to some computer failures on my part which have been fixed and upgraded, people stopped coming to the sessions leaving the last session we had with around 2 players at the most including the DM. It was an alright adventure but we had been assured it was the final strike that would crumble our group from the base. So I call out to any who likes to play Dungeons and Dragons, anyone! It does not matter how new you might be to the game, or how long you haven't played it. It does not matter to me, I started Dungeons and Dragons last year when Shadowtext started the first group which in course got me into the game which I then fell in love with the game itself.

II.Joining

If you want to join, I urge you to post a reply here and/or PMing me. If you have any previous DMing experience and wish to DM our sessions with your own campaign, post here too. I have a campaign prepared for the result of no one wanting to DM as a last resort, becuase I myself as well as others know I am still at novice. So I urge you to step up to the plate.

III.Session Time and Informations

Now our usual schedule included our sessions on Friday night sessions. But if you would want to do Saturday, then it is fine by me. The days I can't do it are days where I have school or important events the next days. Now the time itself, the old time we use to have was 9:00 US EASTERN. I know this might be conflicting with players of other countries, we used to have a player from Ireland where it would be 4:00 in the morning when we finished with our session. The equipment being used is all up in the air, I am more leaning towards Skype for Voice-Chatting and MapTools for the game itself. However it can be changed. On the point of what system of D&D we're using, it'll be Fourth Edition.

IV.Commitment

The biggest problem with the last group was people not showing up. Now one excused absent is alright, we understand you have life. But if you can't be there for the sessions becuase of work or something that is ongoing, let us know. We maybe can schedule the session for you if it agrees with everyone's schedule. But if it's impossible for you to commit to this, maybe this group isn't for you. But do not quit so easily, I hope with the help of others make this group a flexible group.

V.Getting Kicked Out

As we all know, not everyone has the best interests at heart. Do not disrespect our players. Do not ruin the game for everyone else, also you leave any disagreements with other players you might or might not have at the door. You do not take your bad troubles with us and let it influence the game. I do not like the idea of kicking someone out, but sometimes you have to put your foot down to avoid fighting and chaos.

Hoping to hear your replies,

I can't participate (I'm notorious with schedules) but I wonder if there isn't a more passive way of playing.

Is there a forum format version of D&D? Where a game would last days, but would move slowly as people and the DM posted in the topic.

The reason about that is not really the story but:

A. Keeping the regular people to post in it.
B. Battles would be quite difficult in a text format, as you would not be able to plan out a strategy. Which I believe is the one of the best part of D&D, becuase you can't see the board or the map and see were each enemy or object is positioned so your losing that kind of image and freedom to come up with different strategys.

This however is the way how must Forum RPs work, while it's great for story. Though I've seen that battles are usually "no one gets hit" battles.

Oh Nick, that's wierd, I was just about to announce I'll be running something in the near future.

I don't think this site has enough table toppers to support two ongoing games so...how much do you want to do this, lol?

Hm I might post this on other forums, just to attract more players. Well D&D and Shadowrun which I believe you want to run are two different system, it isn't like we're playing the same thing. D&D has a classic fantasy feel to it, while Shadowrun is a mix of cyberpunk and fantasy if I'm not mistaken. It's whatever the preference of a player is. Also I believe if necessary a compromise can come to order, (alternating sessions etc.)
Seems like you have a lot of fun with this but with the lack of time i have i dougt i can participate. What days do you usually do this?

Thank you and we'd be happy to have you.
I don't have time for D&D right now ( :( ) but good luck with this Nick. Hopefully it'll turn out better than the last one

Awe so Wayne Kane has fought his last battle for now and Hardian Hawkeye is waiting in the wings as I am designing a new character for this Campaign.
