Ok people! I've been DMing for YEARS and YEARS... so as much as I would like to PLAY AD&D, I will run a campaign. I am online every night, and a few times during the day as well, so I think I'd make a good DM for a Gaia based campaign anyway.
We'll just make some threads here to run it in. 1 for character sheets, 1 for OOC and 1 for play. We just need to sort some things out, I would prefer to run either forgotten realms or oriental adventures if I am DMing, but I'll let the players decide which sounds best. I can get anyone who is *AT ALL* familiar with 2nd Ed. AD&D up to speed with no problem, so don't let that stop you from joining, but it WILL be either 3 or 3.5, since I'm NOT going back to THAC0!!! Thank you.
I own hundreds of modules and adventures and also subscribe to Dungeon magazine, so expect structured play (I'm not going to get lost on a tangent, or forget something) with lots of side-quests and some actual adventure.
I'd prefer to start all chars at 1st level, and am familiar with all classes, so go ahead and make that shaper or savant! (Psychic Warrior is my fav!)
I will consider any class/race combos you can come up with, as long as you can come up with a really good explaination for your kobold doomdreamer....
So there we have it guys and gals, if I have 3 players that will commit to being semi-active participants then I'll make the threads and start with char creation and world info.
I have seen many good campaigns planned on Gaia, I'd love to see one start. ACTIVE PLAYERS PLEASE!
Here are the threads for this campaign:
Play Thread
OOC Thread
Character Sheets
EDIT: Ok, I have several people who have said they will play! Please let any of your friends that may be active RPGers know. I will have created threads and will be posting the campaign background soon, so make up those characters and submit them to the Character Sheets thread so we can get started.
Oh, and that poll up there is to help me decide what campaign to run, so if you care, VOTE. Thanks.

I am really looking for people who can commit to a game. I would like to see the campaign move no slower than a turn every couple days or so, or a combat can become very slow. I do not mind transient players, and am willing to work absences into the campaign world, but I will need at least a few ACTIVE main players before I will start the campaign. I am also willing to let those who care to run certain NPCs or even side-quests, just let me know what you are thinking.

Hey guys, here is some info I posted in responses other threads, but I thought it would be useful for anyone who isn't sure how a Gaia based RPG works.
With a forum RPG it doesn't really matter when anyone gets on and takes their turn, as long as you can pop online every other day at least and take your turn, then you'd be one of the more ACTIVE players!
Since we are playing in a forum, we don't all have to be on at the same time of day, or on the same day. We just have to try to check a few times a week and see if another turn has been posted.
Basically though, it's much like PBEM, or a slow table-top game. Once I start out the adventure I will post the build-up and current situation. Then I give usually 2 days or so for all the players to respond with their actions (if they respond faster than that, then so do I). Once all players have responded (or in 2 days, if some players have responded, but not all, taking more than 2 days to respond w/o letting us know sometimes results in losing your turn), I will post results of their actions and the current situation. Then we start over for the next turn.
Combat is where it may get sticky for new players. I like to use the built in Gaia dice for all rolls in the game, so noone can argue about what the dice said. I generally prefer that players use a post to roll intitiative, then edit that post with thier modifier and final initiative, plus their action. If a player attacks then to-hit roll should their next a post, then edit it to add you modifiers, I will usually give you creatures AC, so you will know if you hit. If you hit the next post would be a damage roll, edited to add your modifiers and the final result. (now, attacking with a +5 Holy Flaming Longspear would take a few posts, one for weap damage, one for the d6s for extra holy and fire damage).
Then I come back, wait for the other players to post thier actions and rolls, and post the results and the current situation. I will track all the data for combats, so don't worry what your initiative was, as long as I've posted the beggining of another turn, you can go ahead post your next action.
I know.. It sounds REALLY complicated.... but it's not really that bad. With me tracking all the data seperately, and recapping every turn. If we really get a good number of players, the action could fill a few pages between each turn's beginning, in which case I will edit the 1st post to hold a sort of index to take you directly so the current situation posts.
If anyone has a wildly better system than this, let me know. One upside of this system is that player end up getting a bit of Gaia cash each turn, especially in combat.
Basically I will be trying for as much of a table top game experience as possible, even with the delayed manner of the game. There will be an OOC thread the follows with the main campaign post to hold game-related (or not) table chatter. All the character sheets (or links to sheets, if you prefer 3EProfiler or another tool) will be held in a 3rd thread, so you can always go look at another players description and know who you party is.
I will be using my own campaign tracking system on this end, and will be much more organized than the thread will be. I will also try not to drag on endlessly like I am here in my posts... blaugh
Happy RPGing!

Like I said in my post above. I have a very ACTIVE campaign running in another D&D guild's forum. That guild's members seem to be a bit more active when it comes to posting in the guild's forum. I have 6 players in that campaign now, but was looking to accept up to 8 for the campaign I am running.
I'll be checking back here every so often to see if we have enough people to get this campaign started, so get those characters in 3nodding

Gloshuan Ithilgalad Hey can I join in please? question Sure! mrgreen All the campaign info is in the first post of the Campaign: Forgotten Realms: Play Thread , so you should read that first, it also has our list of players, so you can see what classes and races we currently have. Any alignment is fine. Also check out the Campaign: Forgotten Realms: Character Sheets thread, which is where you should post your character.
