Lady and I are still game if it is - but Himeo is key obviously.

A friend of mine is wanting to start up a D&D 5th edition game.

Dear god I never even got to play 4th edition. Please tell me its mostly the same with skill challenges taken out.

"Next" AKA 5th in most recent incarnations is looking far closer to 3.5 than 4.... FAAAAAAR closer.

Sorry for the necro.

I'm looking around on Roll20 for a fairly consistent (weekly/bi-weekly) Pathfinder or DnD group. I'm pretty brand new, so I'd need to be under the guidance of someone a little more experienced. If anyone here wants to join/start that would be cool too. Looking mostly at Friday nights or Saturday during the day (EST time). Not sure if anyone is interested at all.

Willing to try other games too, but not sure what.

I'd be game as well - although my mic is down for the count until I repair my computer which I don't think I'm going to bother with before our move we're working towards at the moment - although we do have a non-PC Skype device I could toy with (USBs on my machine except for the keyboard and mouse lock up the machine almost instantly - clearly a short or something in the motherboard but with half our stuff in boxes and my bench covered in moving boxes not happening soon) if voice is a must now. [upgraded to a Skype-friendly tablet over the holidays only had an original Kindle previous or smartphone which was inconvenient]

Not familiar with PF itself yet - although I'm well versed in D&D3.5 that it was based upon.

I am interested in doing something with you guys, but I've never played one of these so I can't DM. I can fumble my way through rolling a character and reading the rules, but I wouldn't feel comfortable being a DM just yet.

If you guys are interested I made us a campaign on Roll20. It's a false campaign as right now it's blank, but figured we could have people sign up on there if they are interested and talk about specific details there:

Let me know if you have any trouble.

I'll edit the other post

I think his idea is to discuss stuff like day/time in there - doesn't appear to accept applications right now however. Can post on the "board" for it w/ a general membership though.

You have to post or PM me on there and I can invite you, that's how the system works as far as I Know. Like I said, nothing is set in stone at all, just gauging interest.

Like all tabletop, first key step is find someone willing to GM, heh.

Ill just leave this here.

That roll 20 site is awesome but expensive if you want to get full/ease of use out of it. Currently DM of a New World of Darkness campaign this is a roll 20 screenshot post scenario, the light parts are the only explored parts the players can see the rest is black. It goes further north but would have to zoom out more to get it all, great tool for visuals/interaction but takes a little longer to navigate pieces around which can break up the story. I try to only move stuff while players are thinking/taking their turns so I don't mess up my dialogue etc.

I played several sessions in Fantasy Grounds 2 and enjoyed that, though it seemed over complicated software wise compared to Roll20, it had advantages like having a lot of the stats and libraries built straight in (though it could be tricky to set it up to work).

Roll20 seems a lot more basic, but solid and does everything you need. Definitely a good way to play if you can't get together face to face. Hell, I do play face to face and sometimes think about playing on Roll20 just to play a system I like more than what we do in RL.

Usually we are all in the same room, I use my laptop like a GM screen and we hook another laptop to the TV and just have one person login, that person is in charge of character placement based on what the other players are saying/doing. I control everything else they see on screen, but depending on your DM skills/style the visual aids can be a hindrance if you can't find the art to match your ideas.
