Well, it'd probably be easier to find the group here first, so everyone can make their characters prior to the game. That way, we save time when we actually sit down to play.

Thats how we set it up last Fanime, and will probably how we do so this Fanime as well.

TC_X0_Lt_0X - I really couldn't stand most of the players in the Tolarian Academy thread.  Loves the DM-ing, and the general idea, but it felt like I was really back in high school.  And I hated high school.  College was somewhat better, mainly because I was in a serious science program, so there was less rough-housing and stupidity.  And there were 20-odd players, so I was lost in the threads by the third day.

I signed up for the D&D game last year too, but had the same problem of not being able to meet up with people.  I second the motion to A) have signs, and B) set up the meeting place and stick there in case someone is running somewhat late.

Indeed. Plus with nearly 1000 posts within a week, it was no doubt difficult at best to keep up with. The one person who irritated me in the game was Jim Profit's Character. He kinda imploded on himself. But the guy is banned now, so it's no wonder.
Right now the game is at a near stand still however, which kind-of sucks. O-well, thats what happen with most PbP games anyways.

Sadly true.  I've got a couple games that are progressing, but most of my games die rather quickly, either through the PCs dropping out, or the DM disappearing off the face of the earth.

Well lets see I've been playing DnD from about 10 years now roughly half my life I usually DM but that cause I get stuck with it.  :-\ anyways I have a ton of 3.5 books on my laptop (willing to share with anyone) and I refuse to play 4ed. Also, I'm almost always down for a game (assuming in fits my schedule. having skool and work sucks.)

*Remembers Moondancer from old thread*

[Runewitt]

meh I met up with runewitt and Talu-chan couldn't find anyone, went to their hotel, gave talu a copy all of my D&D 3.5 edition books...yeah that's about it. Don't know if I'll play this year my sister and her boyfriend might be coming up so we'll see.

Well a friend of mine was thinking about running a 4.0 D&D thing, with a ton of pre constructed characters so people could just step in and start playing if they wanted. I should poke him to see if he's really gonna do that.

4e =P?
Not to be mean, but right now, 4e is just, meh.
I don't mind it, but I would much rather play 3.5
And Pre-made characters?
Meh.
I would rather make a character ahead of time.

[Moondancer]

*Chuckles* Not my idea, I've never ran a D&D game in my life. I've only ST'd White Wolf games. Mostly Werewolf.

/agree/

Half the fun is playing a character that you made. Also, 4e is garbage. It's books work better as frisbees or bludgeoning tools than they do as rule books.

[TC X0 Lt 0X]

Bump.
So, is anyone interested in DMing a game?
I would, but am still a little new to DMing and all my material is on my PC, which makes it inaccessible at Fanime.
