The Gaming Den

That was kinda my thoughts as far as rolls go as well. I'll see about getting Skype set up and make sure my audio is working OK (mic in my laptop is a little finicky with some programs, but I think I've got a USB one kicking around if needs be).

Has there been any consensus on what client we'll be using? Just asking because I'll most likely need to download it and set it up beforehand. Aside from that my character is good to go whenever.

Probably wouldn't use it myself, but I have no particular objection to it. I can think of one Basic that might be cool to swap out for another, but that doesn't even really fit into the framework you linked, and might be playing in someone elses sandbox, so I'm pretty much impartial on it.

Thanks for the input folks, aside from the barrel of cocks thing. Will look into a couple of those systems. I honestly didn't realize this was a design forum, had just been fishing around for one with some activity where I might be able to find an online game and happened upon this site.

Meh, perhaps I'm not articulating myself well. Probably shouldn't have brought up the concept of the ideal game. AD&D had it's flaws granted, but I could put up with them. Just trying to find a game that brings out that flavour, so to speak. I don't want to WIN D&D, it's never been an option...

These are kind of my points. Really, my ideal game at this point would be a low-magic one in which, for example, the "fighter" archetype doesn't necessarily mean someone swinging the largest object they can handle and encased in enough iron to build a transcontinental railroad who can also...

Out of the loop for a bit, is there a good game that people still play a fair bit that replicates the feel of AD&D a little better? Maybe it's just me, but every time I see something regarding 3e+ it seems like getting in a game would entail partying with a vampiric halfling paladin/thief who ca...

I'm GMT -5 as well and can be available pretty much any time at the moment, though later in the day on weekends would probably be best for me.

I've never used this system, but I've been reading up on it and looks like something I'd like to try, if you're okay with a newbie.
