.org D&D game (NEXT GAME: 1/4 Sun 3pm EST)

Here's a .rar with the core books (Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide, and Monster Manual I-IV): http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GC0GRTG0

Probably should've just included the first MM, but whatever. I'll upload a smaller rar later.

This is a good site for hosting character sheets:

This is a very useful online SRD (has all of the rules in a more navigable fashion, also lots of variants we're probably not using):

Additional Notes for character development

Choose three aspirations for your characters: These are three things your character hopes to achieve in their lifetime. They may change over the course of the game but they are goals that your character wants to achieve at some point. These should be reflective of your character's alignment and personal history. If the character is chaotic and has been driven from his homeland by some jerkoff, one of his aspirations may be revenge. Doing this will help me write scenarios for the campaign that are tailored appropriately for all your characters. Also fulfilling aspirations will be very rewarding for your characters.

Flaws: You may choose two flaws to obtain one additional feat for your character.

Additional notes: This campaign will take place on the Dragon's Coast and will involve a lot of contact with pirates, the high seas, unsavory thieves and cutthroats, and all manners of merchants and wizards for hire. So choose your character's skills wisely for that kind of climate. This is not an endorsement of being evil, though. I'd like a mixed party more than anything else.
 
I've never played D&D in my life and know very little about it. But I've always wanted to learn! I might actually see about learning the basics of the game and getting to know it so I can perhaps try this out. :fap:

Does anybody know of a site that has a downloadable copy of the handbook or something so I don't have to buy one? scratch that, i'm just blind.
 
Devvy, I posted some links earlier. They're also in the first post now.

Anyway, I hear we're probably doing these on weekdays. What days/times work for everyone?

Also, if you're going to play, check out the books/SRD I linked earlier and start thinking about characters. We have a channel on Slacked now, #d&d, so you can pop in there if you're completely lost and want some help.
 
Also guys if you plan on getting involved be sure to pm your character sheets to me when they are ready, and you are more than welcome to pm me questions you may have, post them here, or ask them on irc.
 
I'm saying tenatively next week. Since it will be weekdays and friday is too soon considering that thursday is a holiday for the americans on the list.
 
I might spectate this game when it starts.

And erm... I live 12 hours faster than Washington, so can you guys adjust the time abit? Perhaps 10 PM?
 
I've started putting together a character sheet. I'm gonna be a beguiler (base class from the Player's Handbook II), which is basically a spontaneous-casting rogue/wizard hybrid that has illusion and enchantment spells. I'm set up as the party face with some save-or-die/battlefield control spells, but there's room for another wizard (I don't have buffs or utility spells and suck against things that resist mind magic) and/or a rogue (I went for talky skills rather than rogue skills) if someone wants to play either of those. I think I've decided to go true neutral instead of evil.
 
I appear to have found a nice workable gametable.
