Old school dungeon crawl Sunday evenings

[Crowley 94456]

Anyone interested in playing in my Sunday evening (730-930 eastern) dungeon crawl game? We play on Skype using theater of the mind. 

 

We've been running for over 100 sessions now, but I'm down to 2 regular players, and we'd all appreciate another PC or two (or 3).

This would be a fun thing to do but oddly I try to keep my weekend, rpg free with having my 5e games on Mon & Weds.

What system?

Classic D&D! Specifically Rules Cyclopedia.

We all played D&D in some form or setting. Cyclopedia was my ruleset for most of my gaming needs, thou I did DM Ravenloft as well. Friends did 1st & 2e (FR & Greyhawk settings). Good times!!

I should be available on Sunday evenings and wouldn't mind joining in.  I've got a pdf copy floating around here somewhere.  What is the group needing and how do you want to do characters? (assuming that I am acceptable to the group.)

Ooooh, color me interested! I like the Cyclopedia.

Characters are rolled 3d6, but you can assign the scores.

 

In the party there is currently:

Kili the dwarven cleric (on break to to a change in work schedule)

Jo the monk (currently petrified)

Sabrine the elf wizard (An NPC the party rescued that is being played by Jo's player)

Borumar the 1/2 orc fighter 

NPC elf who was also rescued. 

 

Yes, race as class is a thing. Anyone who's a <insert race here> class, is really just the class with some flavor that doesn't impact their stats or abilities any. 

 

Anything else you want to know?

Well since the game is in progress, what's the level at and how would we generate appropriate gear?

[Dilvish the Deliverer 46957]

I'm up for anything.  I'll roll some stats and see how they fall.

Most characters are between 5-8. You start at 1. 

[Dilvish the Deliverer 46957]

Are you using any optional rules: weapon mastery, skills and the like?  I'll assume not and just make changes as needed.

[BlazingTornado 1835]

So low odds of survival... :/

 

I'd still want to play a Fighter.

 

What's the tone? High fantasy? Sword & Sorcery?

[Dilvish the Deliverer 46957]

Gods in the world?  My dice rolls said that I should be a cleric: 10,10,15,10,15,11.   Not sure if I will stay old shool as hell (3d6 in order) or if I want to move that other 15 from Con to Str and be a combat wombat.

[BlazingTornado 1835]

You got lucky. I got a lone 16, four 11s, a 10 and an 8. Obviously nothing bad but this fighter will literally only be able to hit hard and be painfully average everywhere else.

 

Also, rolled a 5 for hit points... No con bonus with those rolls...
