Gauging Interest in LeagueCast Roleplaying.

1. I’m not geeky enough to have heard of Pathfinder, but I’m interested. Looking at the rule book, why is it that it looks a lot like D&D v3.5?Report

   1. Because it is based on 3.5. It is a product that came from the d20 liscense.

      Think of it as 3.75Report

      1. Isn’t there a patent/copyright issue?Report

         1. No, Wizards of the Coast released the 3E and 3.5E rulesets under the Open Gaming License. This let Paizo do a D20 based system.Report

            1. Besides which, since game mechanics aren’t patentable, there’s little chance WoTC could have done much even without the OGL.Report

2. I am definitely interested.Report

3. I’d be down, but it would be hard for me to commit to more than once a month.

   But man, it would be fun to play again and *not* have to be the DM. Starting at level 1?Report

   1. I haaaate level 1.

      I’m thinking of starting you at around level 4-6.Report

      1. My favorite place to start. Wizards actually have spells they can cast, and everyone is much less likely to die from a single unlucky hit.Report

      2. Awesome.Report

      3. I kinda don’t have my own set of dice. So, if you’re running the game, will you be making all the roles or would we be buying our own dice?Report

         1. http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm

            Be sure to roll the 1s out before you use it in the game.Report

         2. Dude.

            You gotta have your own dice. They are talismans.Report

         3. Try this website:

   2. That is a time commitment I might be able to commit to. I’m neither fluent with nor particularly concerned about the rules.Report

      1. I’m going to do everything I can to make the rules as transparent as possible.

         That said, we will still point and laugh at you if you mix up saving throws and AC.Report

         1. How do I get a Yatzee with these crazy dice?

            Also, can I be a Half-Halfling Half-Orc, dual-class Paladin-Thief who is Chaotic Neutral?

            If so, I will carry no weapons, armor, clothing or equipment except for a halbard that I will drop during any fight, and then begin attacking my own party with punches before running away. My one skill will be juggling, which I will constantly say I am doing during my turn, but I will refuse to specify what I am juggling.Report

            1. On Avlis, we have a Chaotic Neutral holy warrior of Change/Chaos called a Confounder, serving a god named Forian who created a shapeshifting race called Changelings.

               I mean if you like crazy stuff..Report

               1. That sounds complicated.

                  If I play, I’ll stick to something simple, maybe, because the new rules seem weird and confusing to me. Human fighter. Or you always need some kind of healer, cleric that no one else wants to play. I can do that.

                  I don’t like that they call thieves “rogues” now, though.Report

         2. Also, I would be interested, but I haven’t played DnD in 23 years.Report

            1. Man, you’ve been missing out. Most of the cool stuff was released between 1991 and 2005.Report

               1. Yeah, last time I played, I think was 91 (not quite 23 years) and the Dark Sun box set was new and weirdly not so fun. For me anyway.Report

4. I still have a huge block of credit at the local game store. I only have the Core Rulebook.

   Should I bother to pick up the Avlis sourcebook, or any other in particular?Report

   1. Okay, I have Ultimate Combat and Ultimate Magic and the Advanced Player’s Guide. So… light reading for this weekend when I’m not working on my paper or doing Mother’s Day things.Report

5. Are you planning to use a virtual tabletop like at Roll20.net?Report

6. (when it comes to the logistics of such things, I’ve found that groups larger than five will only rarely all be able to make it at the same time. It’s best to have Descent: Road to Legends available for when only four can show up, which will be a lot more often.)Report

7. Sounds like fun. I’m in, if it’s at a time I’m available.Report

8. It sounds like there’s more than 5 “interested”s.

   Me, Alan Scott, Shaz, Burt, RR were all solids. Jaybird didn’t say yes, but he didn’t say no, neither.

   I’m game to play anything, but my natural proclivities are either to play a damage-absorbing tank or one of the magic users who usually turns out to be complicated (in first edition, my favorite spellcaster was my Druid; in Palladium I liked the Diabolist a lot).

   I’m perfectly willing to fit any role that nobody in the party really wants to take, but just gauging from the variety of classes in these four books, I’m probably going to pick somebody with a twist.Report

   1. I don’t think I can say yes, given my schedule this summer. I will point this post to Dman, however.Report

      1. Oh, speaking of pointing out the post…

         Would also love to see it x-posted at Mindless Diversions if you’d be so kind.Report

   2. What am I, chopped liver? But of course this all depends on what time you guys are meeting…Report

      1. UNTIL YOU HAVE DICE YOU ARE DEAD TO MEReport

9. Given timezone clashes and the fact I’m pretty busy on the weekend, I don’t think I can fit this in.Report

   1. But but…every online Avlis group requires a Kiwi to serve as comic relief….Report

      1. Jaybird is Canadian-in-law if that helps?Report
