Thinking about starting a DD/0e sandbox/hexcrawl (with plenty of underworld of course!). Any interest?

Ok. Cool. Hopefully, a couple more brave souls will be suitably enticed. I'm not sure yet which ruleset I'm going to go with but I'll ping Admin Pete to go ahead and set up a board for me. I'm going on vacation for a week starting Friday. I'll probably have internet access but I'll mostly be out of pocket so keep your eyes peeled for an update after I get back.

The board is setup and you can organize it however you want. More barebones or go full bore like merctime with specific threads and subforums, just let me know and I will fix it up for you. He also has a hidden subforum for DM only info which keeps it all handy right here on site, so let me know if you want that too. I have your back on the setup that you want.

Back from vacation and getting ready to get this party started. Figured I'd post this here and then post more details in the campaign sub-forum. BackgroundMariners from the island kingdom of Gulle have discovered a new land in the east. Legends and folklore say that it might be the lost continent of Terantal, from which the people of Gulle (the Gwellan) escaped ahead of a great deluge in the distant past (if the tales are true). It is now being called Novris. As the game begins, Gulle has a monopoly on Novris that they wish to exploit. Players will begin as founding members of a Gwellan Adventuring Company with a charter to exploit the new land under the banner of Gulle. They have arrived with the vanguard of Gwellan forces to the newly established keep, Fort Reclamation, on a small island just off the coast of the mainland. TechnicalThis is going to be an open world type hexcrawl and dungeon-crawl. After setting the stage, I will look to take direction from the players as to how they want to work to fulfill their characters' goals, starting with amassing wealth and gaining power, and then evolving in whatever direction players wish to go. I'm still pondering some details and weighing mechanical choices but here's an overview of things as they stand in my head right now: - No demi-humans.
- There is only one class: fighting-men. However, characters will be able to spend experience to unlock different skill sets, such as thief-type skills, healing, rangering, etc.
- Characters have not, as of their arrival at Reclamation, had direct contact with anything fantastical-- any knowledge is based on legends, folklore, stories.
- There are no convential fey creatures.
- Religion that the characters are familiar with is basically monotheistic: the worship of Atum, the Undying Sun.
- Inspired by the Age of Conan supplement, combat will be a mix of Chainmail (mass combat and man to man) and straight D&D.
- XP is earned through treasure and resources amassed by the Company. Such wealth must be deposited at Reclamation (or another stronghold) to count towards experience.
Other technical information will follow in the campaign sub-forum. Feel free to ask any questions or drop any comments here in the meantime. Once I get at least one thread up and running, I will post the link here. Thanks for reading!

This sounds great. What kind of post frequency are you thinking of? Work is crushing me right now but I'm hoping to stick with this. Thanks!

It should be pretty flexible. Ideally, we'll just slip into a rhythm that works for everyone as we go along. I don't have a particular target post rate in mind. I'd also rather be inclusive than turn away anyone who would want to play but can't match some hypothetical rate of posting.

Looking forward to getting this going...

The forum's been deserted the last few days-- everybody must be out enjoying their summer. Still looking for a few good souls-- Inquire within!

Wife out of hospital & needs looking after, Our faculty moved campus, BLUEHOLME™ Compleat Playtest files flying around, Chaosium pulls RuneQuest back into the black hole of grognardism that is Glorantha, Arkwright Integral and the RQ6 Luther Arkwright supplement to go through. Yeah, kinda busy. But I still love you guys.

Hi todd. I wouldn't mind playing, this sounds great. My post rate would probably be slow to non-existent for the next month or two, though, if that's okay, as I've got the usual problem right now of being caught between work crashing down from all sides, running a couple face-to-face games, and just now winding up to start my own sandbox Pbp (on another forum, though, since it isn't using OD&D). But! I'd love to play whenever I can, and I figured that since this is a sandbox I could just have my PC wasting money in town as the local drunk whenever I'm too busy to take him off adventuring.

Sure. Fine by me.
