Character Creation
Re: Character Creation
House rules are up, including hireling rules.
For those that can afford the first week of 14gp (or you may pool your money) for a hireling, let me know and I'll let you know who is available to delve with you.

Re: Character Creation
Ha! Same here. I did intend to play my first MU (as you say, in group play) in a pbp on another site a few years go (I've been away from online forums for a couple of years), but that game got so bogged down in town that I bailed before we even hit the road toward one of the several dungeons we had to choose from.JimboJimbo wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 1:18 pmThinking about the deific duo situation I realised that in 36 years (ouch!) of enjoying the hobby, I've played exactly 0 magic users in group play (solo'd a couple, but they don't count). After a quick prime stat switcheroo, may I present to you Guthry of Swemm...
Re: Character Creation
Cool. I knew when I started popping into the forums again (namely ODD74), I recognized your screen name from somewhere!rredmond wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 12:50 pmYES! And like I said I used some six siders from a kids' therapy bucket in my office just for the heck of it. Needless to say the mini basketballs, pom poms and marbles are still in there... the dice went into my bag! My oldest buys me dice for Christmas and my birthday, super nice ones. I usually have a set or two in the work bag, didn't this time.I help run the Unseen Servant site, and they've got an associated online roller which is really cool that I use sometimes. I DM my friends from HS on Skype every couple of weeks. Four or five of those guys use real dice, but two or three have an app on their phone, and one just uses google or whatever on his phoneI've just been using an online roller for some play testing recently so stuck with that.
I tried the Unseen Servant forum for a game once (nice looking site! friendly welcome! I might have been under a different screen name though because it was at a time where I kind of got tired of this one, lol). That was one of those games where OD&D was mentioned but then the guy lost me at character creation — was definitely not OD&D, or its like!
I am flexible (I can smile at ascending AC!!) but don't ask me to learn too many rules or I turn into Gronan
Re: Character Creation
Thanks! Will check it out more closely later and then finalize my character.merias wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 3:06 pmHouse rules are up, including hireling rules.

Group: If anyone's gold is light, I'm willing to chip in as much as I can for hirelings or extra supplies if needed.

Re: Character Creation
My bad, somehow overlooked him... Maybe because he's halfling? *ba-dum*tss*

Re: Character Creation
Looks good - also, Guthry was gifted a scroll of light by his master prior to leaving his training.JimboJimbo wrote: ↑Tue Sep 20, 2022 4:43 pmAll done @merias. I succeeded on exactly 6 spells! I think I need new dice
Re: Character Creation
@magremore, here is your hireling:
Wennic the Viking, HP 3 - ring mail, spear, hand axe, backpack, rations, wineskin
Feel free to buy him whatever else you think he might need, you can list him at the bottom of your char sheet.
