D&D Stress Test Beta

Jan 23, 2006 11:44

I played a bit of the D&D Online Stress Test Beta over the weekend. In and amongst the other work and play I was up to. In general, I think it can be a great game. However, as it stands now, I don't see how it can be great at release (Feb. 2 ( Read more... )

wow, translating some of those feats to online has to be tough. cool! i'd love to playtest that stuff. :)

do you still play tabletop? some of my friends are starting a new game, and we only have three players right now. the DM is running his first ever campaign, so wanted it to be small, but we are JUST starting up and could probably use a fourth if you are iterested!

players already: half-orc barbarian, human druid, and i'm a dwarven cleric (ha!).

Ah, if only you'd gotten to me earlier! I'm already committed to 1.5 games a week (one meets every other week). That fills up my schedule, unfortunately.

But have fun!

wellll....

the thing is, this game is specifically, and by design, "we will schedule a session when we can." three of the four of us play shadowrun also, and the other two dudes play another D&D game, so we wanted this to be a pretty floaty not-crazy-committed schedule.

lemme know if that sounds good to you!

what are your characters like? i played in a game where, by the end, i was an 11th (12th?) level druid. crazy stuff by then. :-)

The main game I'm in is a World of Darkness 1.0 game. My character just passed the 200 experience point line. So, all told, he's pretty ridiculous. Potence 3, Prowess 3, Senses 4, and Fortitude 4 are his discipline powers. Doesn't follow any sort of "class" format, but he's good at dealing damage, taking damage, sensing various things, and doing weird mind control tricks. The latter is the power set I understand the least, but it has interesting effects.

Hmm. I'm not familiar with this, though I have played my fair share fo Mage and Werewolf. Is this a LARP?

Re: ah, the random LJ logout karzon January 25 2006, 02:26:08 UTC

Nope, table top. The world is WoD, including Mage, Vampire, Werewolf, Wraith, Mummy, and others. However, the player characters and the bulk of the interesting characters are constructs of the GM. Very well done.

that's rad!

lemme know if you guys ever want someone new.
