[CLOSED] Interest Check: Thunder Rift BECMI/OSE

Thunder Rift Setting
D&D Basic/Expert or Old School Essentials

Thunder Rift is a hex crawl with modules tied to certain areas of the Rift. There is a lot of nostalgia and adventure to be experienced in the Rift with areas to explore, like the Gloom Fens a once beautiful area blighted by magic, the Brichtwood where a magical spring is said to exist, the Wizard Spire said to be haunted by the undead.

There are also rumors galore of sunken treasure, a ruin that could contain wonders unknown, a black knight who has collected the swords of many heroes and more. Though this setting is a primal version of Mystara it also has its own indelible elements that will awe and engage any group of adventures. Thunder Rift needs heroes!

Needless to say, this is old school D&D, those looking for a 5E like game might be disappointed, no offense intended, it is an older game system with less options. However, I will be using ascending armor class.

Using the Basic Rules 1981 Moldvay edition or OSE, Rules As Written (RAW), with the exception of ascending armor class. 1st level characters. Max Hit Points at Level 1 only.

All experience levels welcome.

I'd love to play Thunder Rift! That's one I never ran back in the day, it'd be a blast to play it now. Count me in.

I'm definitely interested in this. I've got an idea for a Fighter.

Cool, two more would be nice and that will be enough to get started. I'm open to six players max.

So OSE is the ruleset (core only), any alignment restrictions?

Yes, OSE core, no Chaotic/Evil characters.

Sure hope we get some more players soon...

I'm in, can't resist the old school adventures

We can start with three, I got a feeling there'll be more interest during the week. :)

Nice! Can't wait.

Heck yeah! Onward!

I'd actually enjoy playing if you're still looking for people. I'm running a B/X OSE game right now on this site, so I have a pretty decent grasp of the rules.

I'm in that game, it's my favorite PbP of all time!

New phone, who dis?

For real though, thanks! I appreciate that.

We have such a good team in that game and it has stayed fun and interesting for a long time now. Damn that lizard tho...

Yeah, I would definitely make an argument that it's the players that carry that game and make it so enjoyable to log in every day and update. I've had to put very little effort into it aside from just making sure I know the module.

And you've put a lot of flavor into the module that wasn't there in print. City dweller side stories and personalities, influence from town institutions, external threats... You zazzed it up a good bit.

If you're still recruiting, would love to join.

Smiles. BECMI/OSE is always been good.

Thunder Rift is now full. Thanks for your interest.
