I have been using FG for about 10 years, GM'ing for much longer. I allow characters to try anything they want,
but let them know what risk they are taking if any.

[QClectic]

I would be interested. I have mostly played 5e and Pathfinder 1E.

[Phithis]

Hmm...I'd give it a try. I'm checking out the quickstart rules.

[Ahoggya]

Great. I'll keep you updated on start date.

[Glorwin]

Keeping an eye on this game, any idea what day/ time you might start??

[AFNick12]

Would love to join, only available on Thursdays though. Experienced player, been using FG for a long time. Can teach others if needed.

[Ahoggya]

PM me for the days and times you all are available. I'm free most of the time since I can work when I want to.

[ZorokTheKobold]

I would also be interested but I know only how to play D&D 5e and I have no idea what Shadowdark is... I'd give it a try though, and thursday is fine for me. I'm free only in the afternoon (16:30-20:30 GMT+2). How are characters built in this game?

i am interested, but i am new.

[Ahoggya]

It's the same attributes as 5e except you roll them from Strength to Charisma, 3d6 only. Your time though would make you available 6 am to 10 am my time. I don't know if I can find any other players for that time.

[Ahoggya]

What times are you available? Have you used FG before? Any roleplaying experience?

[ZorokTheKobold]

Ok, I don't want to cause problems. Have fun playing!

[ZorokTheKobold]

Oh wait I think I wrote in the wrong chat

[Ahoggya]

Decided on Wednsday for the day. Game time can start at anytime from 12 noon to 8pm depending on players availability. Game will run from 3-4 hours.

[Poe the Homunculus]

Weekly or bi-weekly? I have really enjoyed the game a lot.

Weekly. I'm hoping I at least have 3 or 4 players by the 18th. Poe, what hours are you available?

[Poe the Homunculus]

I would only be available bi-weekly, unfortunately. But it could be any time after 5 pm MST (-7 GST).

[Ahoggya]

I possibly change it to Bi-weekly. That might be best now that I think of it. I adjusted the game parameters to Bi-weekly running on Wednesday 5:30 to 8:30 pm

[Ahoggya]

Here is a link to the FREE Quickstart rules for Shadowdark. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/413713/Shadowdark-RPG-Quickstart-Set We will be using the Official rules, but this will give you an idea of the game mechanics.

[Exor Dargon]

I would like to give this a shot. I played old school back in the early 90's and would like to get back into it. I have limited experience with 5e and FG as I have just purchased it and wanting to start my first adventure and have fun with some great ppl. Let me know what you would like me to do to be ready. I have already started reasearching Shadowdark and like what im seeing.

If the 18th of Oct. ok to start the Bi-weekly?

[Ahoggya]

One question before I setup a calendar entry is, do any who want to play want to start with zero level characters (several) in a Guantlet? You start with 3-4 villagers of no class, just an occupation. You end up playing a villager that survives, choosing a class based on your stats. OR We can just choose a race and class and start at 1st level. What say gallant adventurers?

It takes little time to create a character. I posted a question about how to start as an option. When I get that question of method to start, then you can sign in on the Recruiting Calendar (soon to exist).

I haven't done this before but I understand the concept and am fine with it. A village is attacked by " " etc... Shadowdark makes creating a few characters pretty fast and easy so I dont see why we couldn't make several and let the dice roll...

[Ahoggya]

So I have added a link to the Calendar here.https://www.fantasygrounds.com/calendar/index.xcp?id=6658&edit=on

[BOBBY BLOOD]

I am interested if you have availability ??
I am on west coast time as well so this is ideal
your link says 530 AM ... is that a mistake ???

[Poe the Homunculus]

Sorry, I seemed to drop off this thread. My life has been nuts busy.
I will be out traveling on October 18. My work is sending me to Canada for a month-ish to work, and I will not be back until November 8 :P :P :P :(
I would 110% love to play, but if you want to start another time and play, I am happy to either join later or miss this round.

Sorry!!

[Ahoggya]

You can join in when you return.

[Ahoggya]

Bump Up.
