I don't see why you're so bored. You're a level 20 wizard, for crying out loud!

Lately, I’ve been toying with the idea of running my own D&D campaign (Dungeons and Dragons for the non-geek or hole hiding people out there). I’ve never really gotten the opportunity to run a semi-long term one before and I’m interested in trying it out. The thing is, per my usual self, I want to mix it up a bit. This is what I’ve been thinking:

I've barely played, but I'd be willing to :-D

Hey!
I don't think I have an email address for you. You should email me your address so I can send you info on this. My email is JodoKirvanti@gmail.com

I'm down, and you know that... but it depends largely on my schedule. The fall will be a hactic time for want. Maybe even do some drawings.

I may be up for it.

I all ready have quite a bit on my dork-plate (running one, playing in two, and I think possibly a couple others that need to be picked back up), but I could possibly have no problem DMing (co, or whatnot). And, to be honest, if it's your first time doing it, don't try to plan things out too far in advance. Just get a general idea of where you want things to go and then work on specifics are the characters near what you wants them to be doing.

Here's the reason for that: Players will ALWAYS do what you definitely do NOT expect them to do. Thus, it's hard to say "Well, I'll want them here doing such and such which will lead to here" unless you're damn sure you've got some plot hooks at which your players will bite.

Anyway, just soem little hints, but we'll talk and see what's up.

Thanks for the pointers. I've GMed Star Wars for a year once and a minor D&D campaign in Cincy with a few friends but nothing like this. I'm glad to know you'd be interested. I knew you had many other things on your plate so I didn't think you would be. But woo hoo anyway!

I'm in for as much as I'm able

I would like to point out something to those of you who aren't sure whether you would like it or not: You lose nothing by trying it out (except maybe your soul, if it turns out that D&D really is a mechanism for brainwashing people into worshiping the devil -- kidding!). Because of the open you-can-come-and-you-can-go format Martin's suggesting, there is really no super commitment. If you try it out for one session and then decide you don't want to do it anymore, no big deal. If you can only play about half the time, no big deal. If you only want to play every now and again, no big deal. If you can play for the summer but then have to quite in the fall, no big deal. I think Martin's got a real good idea here, and partly because it's so flexible

BTW, for the rest of June and July, I am no longer available Monday and Wednesday nights until after 8:30 or so -- I'm teaching a night class from 6:00-8:30. I predict that I'll be done before 8:30 most (all?) of the time, so I can probably be somewhere at 8:30. But, I just wanted to keep you posted on my availability.

You know, it sounds fun! =)

I started rping in middle school (Alternity) which I narrated to the best of my youngster ability. I got into 3rd Edition later, myself, but never found anyone who would play.

So interestingly enough, I'm familiar with most of the rules, but I've never played in or GMed anything beyond a few one-shot, single-evening deals. It never panned out into a campaign. I've also played hours and hours of Neverwinter Nights, for what it's worth. ;D

What about Saturdays? =) When are we thinking about having this?

[yoda21182]

Right now, the running idea is to have it on Tuesday nights and/or Saturday days. With the amount of people interested, I may need to run a session on both days =/

And do I know you? Or have you just come across my journal?

[leere_form]

nope, i don't think you know me. =)

i just recently joined the lexington_ky group and saw your post.

[yoda21182]

Ah, ok. I thought so but I figured you would have commented on my post there instead of my post on my personal journal. No big. Glad to see so many interested.
