I wanted to play that this campaign, but the DM said no to evil characters :(
That's when you hand him/her a pretty looking 20-sided dice and a $5 bill.

Last night was our first session with this campaign, so we had to have the usual characters meeting for the first time.
I was trolling pretty hard. Bluffed so much as I had no reason to trust them. Also totally pinned down the barbarian and shoved his face in the mud. He wasn't too happy <.<

How do you even play D&D?

How do you even play D&D? It seems like it's a lot of improv with some back story and a person to guide the story. There is dice rolling to find out how much damage you do, how much HP people have, and abilities you can use. Using multiple dice with multiple sides. 6, 8, 10, 12, 18, 20
Let's say you want to examine an item laying on the ground. A Wizard could find out if it has any arcane/magic imbued in it, or a Rogue might know the history of the item if it's just a normal item. But in certain ranges of the dice you might find out more about it. Let's say you pick up the item and it's a grail. If you roll a 1-3 you pick up the grail and just think it's a normal cup. If you rolled a 4-7 you might notice there is something engraved on the grail. etc.
If you roll a 20, you might find out this grail is an ancient artifact in a great war and is worth thousands of gold, but there is also an evil that curses the person carrying it and their HP is halved. There is no 18 sided die >.> There is a 4 sided die though.

I couldn't remember, I was just guessing :(
I bought a container of all the dice. Mine are a dark blue with gold numbers. ...My first set was dark blue with gold numbers. Coincidentally, I have the most luck with that set as well.
Get outta my head, Charles!

So is there some kind of set interface online? Is the history/stats set or do the people playing kind of make up the story guided by the DM as they go along?

Pro D&D players use 18 sided die.

There are worlds and monsters that are already created, but the story is created by the DM. Of course the players influence it thus changing the story, but the main plot is the DMs job to create.
Also many DMs use their own worlds, but the monsters and equipment should be from the books to maintain balance.

There's actually tons of books lol. Monster manuals, equipment guides, player's handbook (basic & necessary to have), necromancy, dragon guides, deities, and many more. Can really do lots of stuff.

I once downloaded all the books from version 3.5. It was like 7 gigs.
I might still have it, but I haven't ever used it. I have a bunch of them as pdfs. Even a blue magic book... I regret opening that one. Ever.

4-6 people in the party. 6 is the highest I'd go, and that can be a bit much especially with new players just due to the time it takes to get through anything.

Dameshi said: O.o How did that work? I don't think that is the actual game we had, because I don't remember it being in color. Basically you had a knight that ran around in Dungeons killing stuff. You couldn't see where you were going, as the map and paths opened up once you went through them.
Unfortunately, since this was the early 80s, I don't remember a while lot of it, other than I really liked playing it.

Dame, figure out how to make a forum based D&D game. Really wouldn't be that difficult, but would just be very slow paced. Only real obstacle to overcome would be to ensure people aren't cheating.
Edit: Actually if the DM handles all dice rolls that would eliminate that.
Edit: As of 2010-10-05 14:48:06 CST, Ni reached 10,000 pages.
Since we all can't be on the same linkshell in game, this can be our cross server linkshell thread.
Like most linkshells, it can be pretty dead at times. Other times it's full of intense conversations about either rl, gear, goals, pokemon or anything else you want to contribute.
We can cover any sort of topic at all, within reason of the forum rules. No real main topic, just a bunch of FFXIAH friends/people coming on and discussing random things.

Update: Sorry Eternaltriumph, too much has changed D: (Page 698)
Eternaltriumph said: Yeah Chuu. Bringing you up to speed, Ludoggy is the LS pedophile. I'm the fountain of random and useless knowledge that makes you go "Hrm" with the occasional side of "holy shit he said what?"
Kungfu is the LS nutjob, spouting super random things that are usually sexist, until Savvy or Alyria comes into the room. Then he's a classic case of sexual harrassment. Rumaha is also true to the second part; we're wondering about his sexuality though.
Daj is Ludoggy's gay lover. Not much else is known about this Asuran. Tairo is kinda new, but since is a female and Alyria's lesbian lover, she fit right in real quick.
Celene(F) and Rowland(M) are more of the shyer members, but often say things that are witty, have a good pun and sometimes cause three page discussions. Celene hates when people hit on her. It doesn't stop them from trying.
Krizz is just social and likes to kill time here during work Tbest is about the same, except tends to be a douche to guys and affectionate toward girls.
Alyria is the most social female, gets groped a lot without provoking it by others, and Tairo ends up stabbing people for it. Cai is just a barrel of lols, I might be gay for him. If I wasn't straight.
Not sure about Citag, s/he's new. Kiriyu is just an in-out kinda person. Says one thing every three days that every guy makes a big fuss over. Ludoggy gets really defensive since she's asian and underage (might be 18 now).
Artem is the wayward soul that makes you ponder the meaning of life by constantly reminding us life can suck. But he deals, and so do we. About the same for Savannah, except people are more "AWH!" to her because of a vagina involved.
Dasva is the ex military man (as is Krizz but this doesn't apply to him) who hates the world and plots a way to destroy most of it.
Number2 is kinda like a mix between Cai and I; never bashes, likes to laugh and has odd avatars. His current suits a lot of the convos this LS gets into. Barti is most well known for his moustache. He gives mousatche rides for a fee. I'm missing a few people but whatever. CARRY ON!
Luelle Smells.
