Be Excellent To Each Other

D&D would be a start but I do wonder if you'd do better with a more basic game to begin with to see how ironing out the technical bits would work (so a tabletop game instead ?)

For campaign stuff there have been a few humble bundles which included RPG books plus campaign maps (if your quick you have 2 hours left for this weeks one : https://www.humblebundle.com/books/fict ... ook-bundle )

What we used to play a long time ago was MERP which was a slightly scaled down version of Rolemaster but set in middle earth (MERP = Middle Earth Role Playing) - they produced around 30 or so campaign packs which basically were all based around areas of middle earth and gave you flaura / fauna and notable NPC's in the area (the ones that i instantly remember are Mirkwood and Shelobs lair - http://www.icewebring.com/ice-products/ ... d%20Shelob - http://www.icewebring.com/ice-products/ ... ood%202700 )

A while ago I grabbed a torrent which was just PDF's created from these which i could dig out if you (or anyone else) was interested in them - the advantage of that is you start with a lot of the background data filled in already - most people know of the different creatures / races / etc and have a rough idea of how the politics and racial tensions fit

Also D&D is really dull, both mechanically and in terms of setting.

Anyway.

I tend to prefer dicepool systems rather than D&D style 'single dice with modifiers' style. Just because it's usually easier to grasp "you want to punch him? Add up the number of points you have in Dexterity and Brawl, and roll that many dice. Count up the number of dice that are higher than 7." Rather than "roll 1d20 add and take away a bunch of modifiers that you don't really understand yet."

For new players the dicepool tends to be a lot less complex to understand, but tends to require a little more effort on the DMs part (working out what skills are required when you do something obtuse and setting target numbers and what varying numbers of success actually mean).

I'd Be interested, but struggle to meet a tome commitment, so put on the reserve list.

Zomg! Mod aboose!

Zomg! Mod activity!

I'd like to play. What are you thinking of playing?
