Tell us a bit about who you are and any experience you have in tabletop gaming
I'm Juffs, and I have just one session under my belt.
It was a disaster.

Hey I'm jaguarjam. I played my first DrD (my country's shitty but still fun) version of DnD when I was 12 if I remember correctly. I've done some DMing after that, and I've also played a few different RPG systems, like Metal Opera and others. I just (literally minutes ago) a roster for a new campaign on funnyjunk, but I guess I'll move it here.
Anyway, could you tell me a bit about what this forum offers? Do you have like custom rolls here, and some place where I could store the character sheets?

This is just more of a meeting place, information, group set ups, planning and whatnot. We were planning on using a site like roll20.net to do the actual playing, unless you have a better idea.

Well, I really have no idea, I've never DMed behind a keyboard. I guess I'm pretty flexible, but I was expecting that it's gonna be more about a text-based RP (I looked up roll20.net, and I feel it's mostly a combat, dungeon-crawl platform, isn't it).

I believe it has a webcam chat feature, so if we have webcams, we can do it more traditionally I suppose. I'd imagine they offer all sorts of maps, not just dungeons. I'll do a bit of digging and find out

I just watched the video on the page and although the whole system looks awesome (it's seriously amazing how complex and well-rounded they made it, not to mention it's fucking free), I want the campaign be more about RP than combat or dungeon crawling (also I want to set it in a post-apocalyptic/modern setting, so I'm not sure there would be enough artwork for that). And mostly, I don't know why, but I think there's just certain "something" about text based RPGs, I mean I played one when I was a kid (it was this cheap, text-based MMO, we played it with my friends in class) and it's really a cool nostalgia. So if I get some players, I'm considering maybe actually really doing it on funnyjunk (well, most of us are pretty familiar with the interface there, and it would be even kinda "patriotic"), I'm fairly sure it can be done that way (the thing I'm mostly worried about is someone spamming it up). If you wanna sign in, here's a link for the roster: www.funnyjunk.com/channel/dnd-time/A+World+gone+Mad/DLNzGQY/

I just checked it out, and if I can figure out how to add forums, feel free to host it here. I'm not really sure how doing it on FJ would work.

I have no experience at all with DnD style games, but I've always thought they sounded interesting. I've played and enjoyed Magic The Gathering and a few board games, but not much else. I am mrchrist on funnyjunk.

Well, welcome, and thanks for the idea. I think this will be a lot smoother than posting in comments sections and PM's on FJ

Hey, I'm new to boardgames. I have played some but not a lot of "hardcore" tabletop games. Mostly because I lack nerdy friends. If someone wouldn't mind helping a new player out that would be great.
Also I think we should make a new post or spread the word about this forum because a lot of people who responded on the first post don't seem to know about this forum yet.

I am DocMaynot, Wakami on FJ and Doc_Maynot on Giantitp.
I have been playing D&D for a while now, and am DM'ing two games on roll20, and one AFK. I also have been wanting to run Abney Park's Airship Pirates, and am working on an alteration of sorts for D&D 3.X, those involved have nicknamed it it 3.A (Due to most of our working on it, and the first DMG being based in my Arcadia setting)
Most of my experience is with 3.X. Looking forward to play with you!
