Good morning fellow gamers! Wondering about the level of interest for an AD&D 2nd Ed. game set in the Forgotten Realms. I'm relatively new to these boards, but not new to gaming or pbp gaming. Here's a little background about me:
Rolled up my first character in the spring of '82 for the adventure B4 - The Lost City. I was hooked from the beginning and have played virtually non-stop since. Have played and DM'd all of the editions, stopping at 3.5. I also have a love/hate relationship with Pathfinder - love all the shiny newness, hate getting sucked into yet another system/edition. Moved to NC in '98, leaving just about everyone I knew including my gaming group. So...I started gaming online via email at first before discovering pbp forums around 2004. I currently run a 1E Greyhawk game over on RPoL, play in a 1E game there, and play in two Pathfinder games on the Paizo forums.
So, enough about me, here are some options about this potential game:
- General campaign style game - group of adventurers set out to hunt for treasure, fame, fortune, etc. Could wind up being an epic, "save the Realms" type of game; could be a TPK.
- Series of "quick post" adventures - I announce a scenario and the first five/six people who post get to run it. Fast action, 2-3 weeks at the most, no commitment to a long-term game or campaign. Each scenario could see several different gamers/characters offering several the opportunity to play, if only for a short time.
- Monster characters - ever wanted to play a Hobgoblin or a Gnoll? Maybe a group of Goblins defending their tribe against Elves? Or humans? Or...a group of adventurers??? Or maybe the group is a band of Dwarves on a quest, with a wizard, and a Hobbit...er...okay, scratch that. Moving on!
- City based game? Dungeon crawling? Open wilderness where anything can happen? On the sea or under it?

Seems like we need to get Al to update the online games thread. This is the third PbP FR 2E game going on that I know of. |

Hmm. Very interesting. Maybe I should dust off Nagrath... |
Doggedly converting 3e back to what D&D should be... Sigh... And now 4e as well. |

Interesting, the third 2E FR PbP game I've seen surfacing here in a long time. I'm already a player in the other two and probably overloading if I throw my hat into a third arena.
Maybe WotC made a wise choice in reprinting the 2E core books after all. I think this is all a good sign. |
