What is it called...

...when you sign onto AIM for D&D and nobody shows up? I knew we would be playing at half strength already, but that still left three people.

Jillian says that this game is going to die. Right now I'm not disagreeing.

I'm so sorry, Linn.

My phone just died in the middle of your sentence, and I left my charger at home. D:

Campaign Setting: The World

The D&D game I'm running right now - theoretically, that is - is based off of a thought I had one day. I thought about something, and said to myself, "Hey, that would be a pretty good game."

A few revisions later, and here it is.

The next series of posts I make will be expositional; describing the setting and characters therein with greater detail, in such a way as to not ruin the story-yet-to-come - I will include all common-knowledge information that I told to my players (and some that I didn't, because they didn't ask/I didn't know at the time).

These will likely all be incredibly lengthy, and possibly boring if you aren't invested in this.

Wall of text crits you for 3d6 + 9 damage.

Tune in next time, when I discuss the ruleset I used and what revisions and changes I made.

Campaign Setting: House Rules

I am now going to go into the various revisions I made to the core D&D rules. I used Edition 3.5, since that was the revision that I had available to me, and basically said to my players, "Anything that's in the books is fair game." Races, classes, weaponry, gods, spells; I had no need to remove any of that. Mostly because this was my first time DMing - and my first time playing, for that matter - and I didn't trust myself to make something imbalanced.

1. There are three basic Attack Bonus progressions in D&D; each class follows one of them. Fighters, Paladins, and Barbarians share a path that I arbitrarily called "Good".


2. Likewise, Save Bonuses have two basic progressions.
