1st post :D
Anyone out there play over the internet? I used to play Dark sun back in like ... man, must have been 93 or so (I was 14). Had a cool DM. We did a lot and had a great time. I wouldn't mind getting back into it 14 years later (weird and woah). It's great to see people didn't let such a cool thing go.
Thx,

I do not play on-line, I have a group I run into the dirt about every three weeks or so, but IIRC Aram had a PBP game he was doing- I could be wrong though.
it woudl seem Like IM (yahoo or aol for example) with a cool group could work very well?
Does anyone do that?
Where do you play?

Welcome to the board (I get the new guy first), we like fresh meat, uhaaa, new people here :D ;)

If your gming...all the better. I am currently working on martial arts for another campaign of mine...but i'm weird...
Yeah, if you need to get a hold of me, my AIM is LifeOnRemote23s and my email is [email]Bulemicbear@yahoo.com[/email]
I'm really interested
IMHO it does it the best.

well, i'm modifying some game systems, and i wouldn't want to dm it until i was complete (takes me a while because of school)...but yeah i'd be interested to play darksun online even if i had to gm it

Aram was running a game, using my message board, but he disappeared a while ago. Not sure what happened. But, no dice there.
Lots of people disappearing lately- Aram, Khaine, Dawnstealer, Terminous Vortexia.
Humm- thats a real shame.

On the up side there have been a lot of new people showing up lately too.
I am delving into rulz 3.5, any tips on other sources?
As I get up to speed I will keep y'all posted, and let you know if Ithink Gming is in my or anyone's best interest.
It could be nice to keep this thread alive with ideas on how to play.

Players Handbook (PHB), Dungeon Master's Guide (DMG), Monster's Manuel (MM), And the Expanded Psionics Handbook (XPH)
You might want to pick up some of these books later:
Complete Warrior (CW) For all the fighter feat. Fighters are a little underpowered at higher levels without access to the greater selection of feats available in this book. The other complete books are good too (especially the complete adventurer), but this one is the most essential.
Sandstorm (SS) A great reasource for running DS games. Many of the eviromental rules, spells, and monsters fit perfectly into the setting and some of the other material can be easily adapted and fit into a DS campaign. Silt and Sun clerics are very limited in their spell selection without the spells in this book. The other enviroment books are OK, but of zero use for DS games.
Unearthed Arcana (UA) A great reasource for DMs who want to teak the rules. Contains a wealth of options and ideas for alternate base classes, races, class features, and other rules.
Races of Stone (RoS) The 1st and best of the races books. Great for dwarves (not everything is appropriate for DS dwarves, but a lot is), earth clerics, and monsters, and even contain some psionic material including a PrC and a few new powers. The other races books are pretty questionable, they have a little bit of very good material and a lot of material that will leave you saying WTF!
Monater Manuel II (MMII) Actually contains a lot of old DS monsters officially updated for 3.5 and a number of others that fit perfectly into the setting.
On the up side there have been a lot of new people showing up lately too.
YAA, but I do no like them yet! Daa! ;) :P
In the long term I would like to adapt the setting to a Neverwinter Nights 2 game engine. Of course I will have to check up on the finer points of the open gaming license and such before I would make it available to the public, but the goal would be to make it mesh the setting with 3.5 as closely as possible.
I'm sure you'll be seeing plenty of me on this forum. :D
Also if anybody wants to contact me on MSN, please put [email]gregorylenhardt@hotmail.com[/email] on your list. I'm always up for DS discussion.
YAA, but I do no like them yet! Daa! ;) :P
I'm hurt. I thought you cared
The monster manual 3 is also useful as theres several creatures in there I plan on using. I used the Salt Mummy on the PCs from that book when they crossed the salt flats near Gulg.
I would like to be apart of this and so would a player of mine.
I am not looking to run a 2nd DS campaign but would like to actually play DS for the 1st time.
Im sure threw instant messaging, pics could be sent and group chats would be easy. A DM could have everything already written out in a file and just cut/paste descriptions of the encounters and story to IM the players.
dont know how to go about this. but if you guys are serious, here is my email. Let me know what is required.[email]Dregonflyus@hotmail.com[/email]

I've been running a DS PbP for about a year now. Currently I've got 7 other players, but I'm looking to expand the adventure into an all out campaign with seperate partys on seperate, but intertwining, adventures. If anyone wants in send me a message and I'll help you get set up at the site I'm running it on and you could be playing in about a week.

I'm in - sent you a PM with e-mail
Hey Sage- just an FYI- my PC is a Human Preserver 2/ Psion (telepath) 1.
WHAT!
One of us might need to alter our character concept.....though there is a great possible connection between our characters :D; mine's a Human (Quater-Elf actually) Bard 2/ Psion(telepath) 1!Have you finished your's yet? I just finished my intial appearance/personality/history write-up. I've got my stats and feats, I think. But I haven't worked out my skill points yet. I'm waiting for Horse's ressponce before I finish all the other details. And would like to do a little coordination of backstories possibly.
I wrote such a beautiful backstory for my character, and now I might need to ditch it and go with one of my other concepts
It all rests on the other party members, please make combat worthy characters! :fight!: It looks like the social skills and magic/psionic categories are pretty well covered.
Do not *ditch* that backstory!!! This game is all about good stories and I want to read it!
Well I did already send it to you via e-mail, so Read it!
Ahem.. sorry
WHAT!

Sounds cool- But why change? I have a wicked cool back story too.
I have stats, feats, psionic powers, back story- the rest will be finished soon, but I have been working like 55+ hours a week and have not had that much time to really poor into it.
I do also have a bunch of languages though- so communication should not be huge problem as long as we got some muscle to smooth the 'dilpomacy' out .
:D

Just take Dakken with you for that; oh wait, he can't hit anything.

Back damn you!!- go find your druid!!! :D
We got alot of rodants running arround this place!
(he is a player in my campaign BTW- so this is not some random abuse of some new person- he totally deserves it :D )
Celestial 
Dire Badger!GO! GO!
The funny thing is, is that he had a druid character with a common badger as an animal campanion in an Ebberon campaign a friend of ours was running (I had a rogue/wizard/cleric/mystic thurge :D - and I was not even the worst power gamer) Anyway... his badger usually did better in combat then the warforged fighter we had in out group- his character was named Kor, and he could not hit the broadside of a barn- a feature he has currently been carrying with him as Dakken in my DS campaign.
Well I guess to be fair he has had a few really good nights, but those are rare as rain on Athas.
I was planning on playing a psion/cleric. This group is lacking some brute strength!
Dude- why care about what everyone else is playing- do your thing and we will make it work- it is more then roll-playing that can get us through the stuff when it all goes south- so be your psion/cleric and this will be a wicked cool group!!!

I don't know what your concept is, but maybe you could be a psychic warrior cleric and still run with it. I'm not trying to pressure you just a suggestion in case you hadn't thought about it ;)

I couldn't have said it better. But I could have definitly added more "Dude's" and "wicked cool's" :D

I do what I can H :D
Hey have you check out my revised PC- he has an even wickeder (ya thats right, wickeder :D) background- I would post it here to give the others a look see but I would like them to be surprised.
I will send you my alternate spell picks soon- maybe tonight.

Well, that's good because I'm definately not sharing mine :P
Hell, I don't even want to know what anyone's alignment is.
Who else is in on this- I kind of lost count of those looking t play?
Hey Sage- you got your character finished up yet? I got the itch and want to get this cracking!!!
Who else is in on this- I kind of lost count of those looking t play?
Unfortunately my laptop died, so I've had to access the site from the library, SINCE IT WON'T RUN ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN WINDOWS AND INTERNET EXPLORER!
But, yah
... I just need to make a few finishing touches and then I'll be done, so I can promise to finish on sunday. I just need to note my power point total and one more item, then check over it to make sure everything is in order.Im almost done! Actually all I have left is some backround info and Im trying to get a portrait in there as well.
:D awesome!
I'm purchasing my character's gear this very moment. Then, with some final polishing on his background, I'll be done as well.
Squid!
, This is awesome I get to play in a game with the Furry Fish and the Flayer of Halflings :D , and a patriotic dragonfly too...Are you still in Sandchicken? Nice name btw ;)
I did not so much buy gear as just gave him some mundane equipment and then asked Horse about a few additions and it was done.
I should get a picture up too- but that would most likely envolve reading the Hepl information, and that is something I never do :D
Also, I give 300 xp for character portraits, as long as they're not of some famous character like for example, Rikus or Sadira or even worse, Frodo Baggins.
:D
Squid!

Those fricken runts will pay and then I will Flay them and dance in their little skins :evillaugh
, what prompted the change?Glad someone liked it!

:headexplo Another delay in character creation.
Any one else getting "Access to the requested page has been denied. " when trying to access your messages in marcys keep???

No :P
squidfur has his PC up- looks like this will be a group that is a poster child fr the Champions of the Cleansing Wars too- all three of us are running humans!
I guess it doesn't help any that my character has golden-brown (read dark blonde) hair and blue eyes
What's his name, I don't want to have to wait until tomarrow to find out?

Not really, cuz my guy's hair is light brown (read dark blonde), and has blueish-grey eyes.
His name is Kauth btw.
You guys are sick ;) :P

Right on...so, how close are you to being finished? :D
Ssurran druid / cleric concept is dead
So i'm thinking half-elf ranger / druid. How does this fit in with the rest of the group? trying to see what the group lacks. Other options are preserver / ranger or rouge / ranger combo.
Thoughts?

Do your thing- any PC you come up with is sure to work- but time it ticking and I would like to get this going sometime this King's Age :D - I already have a backup PC made in case 'Dark Sun' happens- he's a thri-kreen druid. I think I will call him Hack'em, or I should change his class to barbarian
and then take the kreen class Meth posted- that would be sweet!!Right on...so, how close are you to being finished? :D
The character sheet is done. Im just haveing a little backround trouble (most of that is done as well). Im on vacation all next week so it will be done. :D

I know how you feel wanting to "balance" out the group. Kal is right telling you to make what you want If you think about it having a group w/ 2 of the same class that can provide food and water in the desserts has a better chance of survival. Here is what I think we have so far...
-Squidfur???
-preserver/psion
-bard/psion
-ranger/psychic warrior
Play what ever you want. ;)
Hey Horse- love the NPC pic of that halfling on a kank- very cool.
I'm still waiting for Jaanos, Dregonflyus, and Korvar to complete their characters, but like I said to you three who are done and waiting, the game will be starting approximately a week from now, with or without them.
That doesn't mean however I can't fit them in later, it just means we need to get this thing going if you're ever going to make it to ... in time. (don't worry the ellipses will be explained IC).

Unfortunately, I'm going to be stuck in London for the rest of this week and all next, away from my books and away from my home 'net connection. I've also never created a 3rd ed. character before! Is there enough detail in what I've already given for someone to do up a sheet for me?
Just gotta finish a little fluff stuff, weapons etc... basically ready to go... looking foward to it!
Is there enough detail in what I've already given for someone to do up a sheet for me?
Quite frankly...Nope :D
As we aren't even supposed to know the details of each others characters, I think Horse would frown upon this approach anyway, but there's far more detail in the creation of a character than what you've said here - or at least there should be.
but like I said to you three who are done and waiting, the game will be starting approximately a week from now, with or without them.
That's just about perfect, cuz that's about when I'll be getting back from vacation. I'll still probably find a way to get on here and check in just in case though :D
I should get mine done today.... a he's cool... he's a half-elf... he has an infatuation for dwarves :D
Just gotta finish a little fluff stuff, weapons etc... basically ready to go... looking foward to it!
Interesting
he's just a little like a half-giant... he's drawn to thier culturer and focus... all to do with a specific event in his history. Not THAT type of infatuation!
OIC, that sounds much more G-rated :D
Yeah Jaanos is in, and Dragenfleyus is extremely close to being completed as well. I have hopes for the Game to start next weekend.
Well mine is done! Hurrah!
What did you end up going with, class-wise?
NOW LETS FREAKEN PLAY :D
I went a Rouge / Ranger / Druid combo.... weird i know, but he has a good story line behind him :D
Sounds like a bit of a stretch
, I guess we are the skill monkeys of the party :D . I'm the master of in town skills, and you the master of wilderness skills.In this case, it's more of a matter of a thief has found his calling but is still tied to his previous profession ;)
Sounds like a bit of a stretch
:P
Hey Jaanos- what ever font you used for your internal monolog is really hard to read- just a FYI.
