Smoldering Wizard's Old-School Gaming Forums

Ever notice many of the old D&D adventures involved rescuing someone, or stumbling upon some captive in need of help?

I've had this idea to take bits and pieces from old adventures, file off the serial numbers, re-combine them in (maybe) fresh ways, and present it in a format inpired by the five-room dungeon design idea to make it conducive for play-by-post gaming.

Rules will be WHITE BOX: FANTASTIC MEDIEVAL ADVENTURE GAME because it's dirt cheap (free pdf -- see forum for link). The printed rules will serve as the base, with a few house rules (Elf variant, a perk for humans, each class gets a 3E-inspired minor ability, etc.)

The adventure begins in Mirabilis, the City Afar, in the seaside district of Portside, where the group has found itself staying at an inn whose owner's son when a PC's hireling goes missing! (Dum-dum-dum)

Any interest? Any questions?

Edited to update premise changed by player actions!

Any interest? What kind of question is that? Of course I’m in!

Heck yeah!

Cool.

I requested a forum.

Once I have access, I will post class and chargen rules.

I am thinking basic chargen will be to roll 3d6 seven times, assign top six as desired, use the lowest for a stat called WEALTH (unless you want to start rich, which would be .....interesting).

I rolled all 18’s and a 29. Just need to figure where to put the 29...

Definitely use that 18 for wealth...

I have two players, and we're just starting.

If anyone else is interested, let me know.

Hi there! Anyway I can get in on the game?

Most certainly!

I will add your username to the group, and you can start reading the house rules and adventure prep.

Then focus on the Character Generation thread, and we will craft a character for you together!

Ok, I've rolled up some STATS - it looks like the party needs a thief, so a thief it is. I don't think I have access to post within the games boards just yet, so whenever you can, I can post my STATS for Jahan the thief. Thanks!
