I wanted to say hello to everyone and introduce myself. My name is Anthony, I am 37 years old and have been playing tabletop RPGs since about 1989. I started off with the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons "red box" and have been hooked ever since. I also enjoy writing, playing video games, working on film projects, drawing, playing guitar and cooking.

I am currently playing 2nd edition D&D with my group of just over one year now after an eight year hiatus and am having a blast.

I love using Obsidian Portal and it is helping to make my game much more rich and full of detail. Its fantastic that I can organize my game as well as document our adventures. If you find time, I would love for you to check out our site: http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/legends-of-the-middle-ages

If you have any suggestions or comments (good or bad!) please let me know. I look forward to talking with you all and becoming an active member in the forums here on OP!]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1983/the-world-of-llowellen Sun, 19 Jun 2011 09:43:18 +0000 Llowellen 1983@/discussions
I'm very excited to have found Obsidian Portal, and would like to formally invite all my new neighbours over to take a look at my campaign, and to join the Play by Forum I am hosting there.

I am going to be starting an online DnD 4th edition game. I want to start by explaining the specifics, and then a little bit about the setting. Please, if you are interested in this game, send me a PM indicating as such (and include an email addresss). My Campaign is up on the Obsidian Portal page, although it's light for now. You can find it either for searching the game's title ("Morwold: The Bridge"), or for my user name (zippercomics). While I might see the reply here, chances are I'm going to see the PM on the campaign first, and while this isn't a "First come, first served" scenario, being first in line never hurts.

Below is a long form of what I'm looking for. I know it's a lot to read, but here's a quick summary:

* Home brew world,
* Non-combat played over message board (not sure where yet),
* Combat scheduled and played over MapTools whenever possible,
* Looking for 4 dedicated players who will invest time in the world and the game,
* No rules layers,
* Combat will be a part of this game. Expect the occassional "dungeon crawl",
* Come to the table with a character you're interested in playing, and I'll give you a story.

As far as the more concrete stuff:

* 4th Edition,
* Using the character builder,
* Level 1 to start (I know, groan, but you'll grow ...),
* Point buy (witholding info on that until I get players),
* Limits on non-core material, but anything will be allowed if it can be reasonably justified.

The Game is officially called "Morwold: The Bridge". The game takes place in a very typical homebrew world. You can find details on the campaign site.

Interested?

If you're interested, please PM me your user name, and an email I can use to get in touch with you! You can reply here, but I won't guarantee anything. PM first, forum second. I tend to be impatient, so the faster you reach out to me, the faster we can get started.

As I receive emails, I'll be taking the addresses and the conversation over to email, as that's a faster / better means of communicating at this stage. So be ready for emails, and more importantly, ready to answer them.

You CAN tell me what kind of character you WANT to play, but I won't be recording this information until I have the player base. Then, we'll all discuss it together.

Questions?

Cheers, and thanks for reading. Long, I know, but I needed to make sure the ad was attractive (and hopefully, it was) ...

Thanks!

I want to create a group where we meet once a week to play various games. We would rotate GMs (on a voluntary basis) as well as games. The idea would be to explore many different games, playing one or two stories in each of them and moving on to a new game (or not) by consensus from everyone.

Players should be willing to show up every week within reason (flakey people are my personal pet peeve) and willing to try to have fun even if the game we're playing isn't exactly your flavor. You must be respectful. Anyone of any sex, race, nationality, sexuality, gender identity, and age is welcome.

Experimentation with game styles, play styles, GM styles, and writing your own stories would be encouraged.

We would probably meet in a public place (Dragon's Lair or a coffee shop) until the group has formed and everyone is familiar. After that I am willing to host the game.

My schedule is fairly flexible so let me know what you're schedule is.

Check us out "here":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/austin-rpg-exploration-group and let me know if you're interested in playing.]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2032/looking-for-players-for-brand-new-4e-campaign-omaha-ne Sun, 17 Jul 2011 14:11:03 +0000 Xttapalotakettle 2032@/discussions
I'm an experienced DM who has been running 2nd Edition AD&D on and off since the early 90s. I decided to take the plunge and upgrade to the 4th Edition system and have been busy updating my campaign setting to the new edition. I have a couple of players and were looking for some new blood, especially those interested in controller or leader class roles.

My campaign is called The Sundered Empires and was set in a broken world in a post-Dark Age type of setting, leaning heavily on a gritty fantasy setting influenced by a Robert E. Howard type of world with its own history, pantheon of gods, cosmology and various other elements. It has evolved a lot over the past 20 years and I've been enjoying updating all my old notes and injecting some fresh ideas. You can see the work here:

http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/sundered-empires

We're all mature adult players with your normal adult obligations, so we seek to play on the weekend afternoon/evenings twice a month around my gaming table. We also welcome newer players or players new to 4th Edition (or curious about it) who want to get their feet wet with the rest of us. If the game and the campaign sound interesting to you, please feel free to drop me a message and we can talk more.

I look forward to hearing from you!]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/2023/pa-md-gamer-planning-new-star-trek-lug-campaign Tue, 12 Jul 2011 02:57:34 +0000 Baalshamon 2023@/discussions
I am in the process of developing a new Star Trek campaign set in the year 2390. The character will play convicts sentenced to a penal colony in the Romulan Star Empire. They will have to navigate the dangers of the penal colony as they attempt to find a way out. If they escape the galaxy is the limit. Any thoughts, suggestions, or ideas will be much appreciate. Check it out at http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/star-trek-late-night and fan me if you like what you see.

So, I'm looking to start an online Leverage roleplaying game, buuuut I am in need of players.

The Age of The Relentless is how the historians are calling these hard times. For the last hundred of years elementals, monsters and other strange creatures roam the wilderness in search of blood. They destroyed much of the civilized world for reasons yet unkown.

People live in great cities looking protection from their walls. Each day brings the worry of raids and the destruction of field crops. Entire kingdoms have dissapeared and only a few are left standing.

The authorities look for capable people and mostly mercenaries to protect the goods of trade caravans that mean so much to many small towns and villages. Is in this time when true heroes are needed, or at least those who act like them. Relentlessly fighting for the survival of Aludnath's people.


You are part of the organization called "The Hunters" who work as a mercenary group in charge of keeping the few cities of the kingdom of Norinias safe from monsters and elementals. These last few weeks there has been an increase on the sightings and attacks and several squads of the Hunters are being movilized all around the towns. There are also rumors that the leaders of the group might have gotten some kind information but they are not ready to disclose it yet. They have asked you to join Eagle Squad, a group of strange but strong adventures leading the investigation of these events.

We already have the following:
-Ranged fighter
-Druid
-Rogue
-Barbarian
-Witch
-Sorcerer


* All the classes/races found on the PRD permited
* Non-Evil Characters only
* As a note, all summoning spells back fire and it always brings an elemental who attacks anything on sight. Even you. These spells have been 'banned' in the game world.
* Any kind of travel outside the Material Plane is also impossible since the Relentless Age started. Does who actually manage to make it work are never seen again.]]> https://forums.obsidianportal.com/discussion/1779/campaign-ideas Wed, 16 Feb 2011 02:15:42 +0000 Davidsonofinga 1779@/discussions

So far, I am loving it. I am still learning my way around but the WIKI page set up fits in so well with the way my mind orders things that I can hardly imagine not using it for any future campaign. I am particularly looking forward to when we start playing, by which time I will have signed up to premier membership so me and my players can make use of the private forum.

I have been with Dungeons & Dragons since the Red Box (Basic) and have been playing 3.5 for the last 4 or 5 years. I am presently designing a campaign based in the same setting as a 2nd Edition Campaign I ran many years ago. Last year I ran Expedition to the Demonweb Pits for my players and am using the newly designed "Shimring" campaign so people can play those characters again.

I only just discovered this forum recently and this is my first entry. I look forward to getting more involved and have already shared some conversation with a couple of fellow DMs. I'll be taking my time, as I am still a player in two campaigns presently running but hope to have mine ready for my players when one of those two campaigns winds down later this year.

OP seems to have both a brilliant electronic canvas and a useful and stimulating community, so once again I say "Hi!" and look forward to more conversation later.

You'll want familiarity with the George R.R. Martin book series- at least have read the first book. (SIFRPG is set well before the events of the novels, so plot points aren't repeated at the game table.)

The system isn't difficult to pick up- in fact, the game is story-driven to the point where the mechanics don't even come into play more than a handful of times per session.

The PCs are all part of a Northern noble house, House Slayton. We made this house using the SIFRPG rules, it is not in the books. New players can create members of the Slayton family or hirelings in the house's employ. You do have to be associated with the Slaytons in some direct way, but there should be some way to incorporate any reasonably decent character concepts.
