Multi DM non Roleplaying game?

[TheDruid20]

Any one have an intrest in a STR8 dungeon crawl? No map no logic no reason? Just 4-5 Pcs wandering through killing stuff getting treasure and experiance?

What I was thinking was 5 PC's all taking turns DMing. Encounters can easily be generoated using the charts in the DMG. And you can use any monster you want of the appropriate challenge level, or make up yoru own traps. Every encounter would have 4 pc's and 1 dm. And ever one of the 5 players takes a turn at DMing that encounter. So player1 does one then player 2 then player 3 etc... That way one cannot claim that the DM is giving items especially for his character. Would need people who are on alot or it will take forever. Alignment would be irrelavent, as would rping. Its all about slaughter gold and power.

So I am not starting this yet till I get atleast 3 or 4 other people intrested. Starting at 1st level and everything by the books.

Would only use characters out of books everyone owned for fairness. Same with starting spells. However monsters and treasure are the DMs invention or out of any book he/she owned.

[Cadrius]

Hmm, seems real interesting. Especially with the rotating DMs. It reminds me of the little known "Rune" game. It was hack and slash at it's finest, you were only a viking and everybody created a scenario for the players to tangle with.

However who would control the DM's character? The DM could NPC it, but that could create a few issues regarding fairness. Perhaps the person who is next in line to DM could run both? However if they get the current DM's character killed they lose experience/treasure/etc.

Anyway, I'm certainly interested but I'd like to hear a little more.

[TheDruid20]

Since there is no plot and no logic. Just pretend the character didn't exsist for that encounter. And Since there is not supposed to be any roleplaying it should matter.

[BigRedRod]

yeah i think i'm up for this
just straight forward killing things, dealing with traps and the occasional weird thing

it will be easiest to ignore the dms character (he decided to have an extended drink rather than go into the dungeon)

[TheDruid20]

Yes that is exactly my idea. I know I often after alot of roleplaying have the need to kill things and power game.... I know there are vseveral closet munchkins around here that would play..::cough cough Biedamon cough cough::

[TheDruid20]

The comparision has been made.... This game is Nodwick does 3e......
Just becare what kinda girdles you put on....

Yes bad cliches and every thing are welcome.

[BigRedRod]

hehe
any idea of stats? are we rolling or point buy?
i may as well get my character done while i have a chance

oh and mind if i use this "nrp campaign" to test pilot some monsters and classes?
like my geomancer needs a few test runs to check that they arent that powerful
and there are a few monster ideas i would like to mess with :)

[Cadrius]

Hey, sounds like it might be fun to me.

[TheDruid20]

BRR that was an idea I though woudl be nice. As long as your not trying to kill people with them...

Point buy I suggest we go with the 32 point buy system....

And I am playing Nodwick so no one else can HA HA HA:-)

[BigRedRod]

accidents happen....
of course i won't try to kill people
if a class or monster seems too powerful i'll tweak it during combat (hopefully it wont be noticable)

righty-ho
as far as i remember nodwick was a fighter or something like that?
i'll go for a psion then (i'm guess that everyone has the PsiHB)
if not i'll play a ranger as i've nevr tried one
still i'll get my psion done first and someone just let me know if you don't all have the psihb (as Druid20 said in the rules that we're only using books that we all have)
speaking of which i have (off the top of head)
PHB
DMG
MM
PsiHB
S&F
T&B
DoF
S&S
R&R
CC1
CC2
MoP
OA
RLCS
Domains of dread (or whatever the thing is that tells you about the ravenloft dreadlords)

i think thats it
i may be wrong

[Cadrius]

Hmm, I could go for being a priestly sort. Of course it would have to be the priestly sort that also enjoys smarshing things (yes, "smarshing" is a word!).

As far as materials...


PHB
DMG
MM
S&F
T&B
DotF
FRCS

Don't exactly have the psionics but I don't object to their use.

[TheDruid20]

Ok I got...

FR MM
PsiHB
Defenders of the Faith
Sword and Fist

Wow thats it.. I feel so insignificant now......

THink I will play a gnome illusionist actually. or maybe a sorc... or maybe No an illusionist.

It might be an idea to post a "More players needed" thingy on 3ebb
this place doenst seem to get enough traffic yet :P
i'm sure it will be easy to entice people
-No Rp pressure
-Fun Fun Fun dungeon Adventures
-Revolutionary Revolving DM System
-BigRedRod
-Gain valuable play expereince to get the most out of future DMing and Playing


and other semi-false stuff like that :)
just as long as they are pretty frequent posters

[TheDruid20]

Actually I think we have 4 or 5.. Biedamon wants to play but he is to lazy to type it here:-)


We need to pick a name for the game. Any suggestions?

If we don't have enough I will recruit others.

[Cadrius]

Hmm, I wonder what I'll do for my DM portion...

[BigRedRod]

good show

yeah that lazy lazy Beid :)

a name eh
hmmmmmm
i'll post if one leaps out of the air
but i doubt it kit took me long enough to get my VSF game named and that title isnt spectacular enough

i have a good idea of what i'll do for one of my DM things but not till we have a few levels under our belts :)

[BigRedRod]

who is going to DM first?
i would rather go third if its ok with everyone (assuming we wil be having five people/players/dms)
just so i can sit back and see how things turn out for the first two, and then try and do something different for my turn

[Cadrius]

Why don't we just call it "the Crawl" or something like that?

Hmm, I'd greatly prefer to go fourth or fifth as I haven't tried running anything in the PBP format before.

[Beidamon]

How bout "The One Dimensional, Multi DMsional game"

It sounded good when I thougth it up, then again that was at 4:30 at night.....

BTW yes I am playing, you may all flee in terror now

[TheDruid20]

WE HAVE A FORUM Danny put it under my games,.. he claims this was my idea.. I do not accept said accusation

I will post a few threads down there to talk about stuff

[tom3e]

I am in too - I think I will play a paladin. Then I can send my players to this site to prove that it really is a useful class. Maybe he'll even be a gnome, to show that you can do it with any race ...

[BigRedRod]

*shudders*
I don't like paladins for some reason


ok let's go have a look at this forum
