{primesuspect} You round the corner, and standing before you in heaving, slavering piles are a brood of Srs Bzns.

{mjancaitis}:eek2:

{Thrax} Yes, it is serious business riding lulz. Roll init.
{BuddyJ} I unsheath my Sword of Ownzor
* BuddyJ rolls
{primesuspect} The light from your torch reveals bits and pieces of LOLZFLESH scattered about
 {primesuspect} A gaggle of the SRS BZNS detaches from the quivering mass, and surges forth towards the party
{BuddyJ} By Thor's beard! They seem to have devoured some helpless LOLZ. I will avenge them!
* Thrax calls his dodge target on the gaggle of srs bzns
{primesuspect} You rolled a 17
 {primesuspect} you have initiative
{primesuspect} Suddenly, from behind the brood, light erupts forth
 {primesuspect} "SUPPER TIME, HARU......"
{primesuspect} The brood scatters instantaneously.
 {primesuspect} It is as if they never existed......
{BuddyJ} It's a portent!
{mjancaitis} lol
{primesuspect} Even the bits of LOL are gone.
 {primesuspect} Was it a dream? An illusion?
{BuddyJ} hmm
{Thrax} The anguished wail of the srs bzns swept into searing incandescence leaves you wondering if you were ever there at all.
{primesuspect} A roflcopter flitters by
 {primesuspect} And all is well

    I'm headed to my FLGS today. Any books I should pick up/order? The only 3.5 book I have is the PHB.

    You could wait for the 4th edition in June. Unless you're afraid you'll get Vista'd.

    Fourth Edition is a failboat ride to crapsville.

    4th ed is the Pen and Paper rules translation of WoW pretty much.

    I'm sticking with Warhammer. D&D has lost it's spirit long ago.

    WFRP, Dark Heresy or table top?

    I do not understand a god damn thing in this thread. I have a feeling that's the way you guys like it.

    Which campaign?

    Eberron = Arcanepunk, relatively new.
    Faeruun - "Forgotten Realms" = High fantasy, the primary campaign setting for D&D play today.
    Greyhawk = Antiquated inspiration to today's campaigns. Rafts of spells, items, creatures and rules were taken from Greyhawk for D&D 3/3.5, but it's not often played as a setting now.
    Planescape = Incorporated into D&D 3.0's cosmology. Essentially deprecated.
    Ravenloft = Dark, brooding planar setting that pits players against themselves. Uncommon, but interesting.
    Spelljammer = Space fantasy, uncommon.

    @ BuddyJ:

    I think we need to wait to decide what campaign setting we're doing (If any specific one outside the PHB and the DMG) before anyone buys books.

    Faeruun is Forgotten Realms, mirite?
  • ThraxThrax 🐌 Austin, TX Icrontian

    Correct.

    It seems that the OP is a cut and paste from a mock DnD session on IRC. There was also obviously some plan made for a real play session, which is being continued here without context.

    Cool... I would be interested if we played with Fantasy Grounds.

    Thank you. I actually did finally make the connection to Dungeons and Dragons after I posted. Seemingly, I never got into d&d, but, I know it was huge in the 80's if I remember correctly.

    ***that is all from me***

    Yea, I get that.

    That OP is not from any of those... A least I don't remember any roflcopters.

    Obviously you don't have the Monstarlolz Manual.

    I got the lolzflesh from the fairly rare "Lolz Compendium v4"

    it was a very limited print run.

    Fantasy grounds isn't bad but I suggest checking out iTabletop it's pretty much better in every possible way.

    I think I agree.

    I don't see any good screenshots of the actual playing 'surface'.

    I really like the table-top feel of Fantasy Grounds that I've seen so far, although the demo is pretty limited.

    It's a big virtual whiteboard. The DM can choose to share PDFs, images, or choose entirely different backgrounds for this whiteboard. A DM can control what's displayed, or allow shared access to the whiteboard. Therefore a DM could have a dungeon layout, a field, or a map or just draw on the board the old fashioned way.

    That sounds like Fantasy Grounds without the wooden 'tabletop' or virtual dice.
  • ThraxThrax 🐌 Austin, TX Icrontian
    edited March 2008
    It also has dice, can have a wooden table if you'd like to make one, has camera + audio support, and is free.
  • kryystkryyst Ontario, Canada

    Just check out the demo's on the itable top it will become perfectly clear.

    As far as Fantasy Grounds is concerned it's not bad it will get the job done, just not nearly as well and I certainly don't feel it's worth the money. Also Fantasy Grounds 2 is much better then the first one but still feels clunky and unfinished by comparison.
