[IC] White Box- A Good ol' Dungeon Crawl

Shadowace Inactive forever!

I want to set up a tabletop game at home (the Carport Company) using White box rules (short, cheap, OD&D, and expandable via S&W) and would like to have an online play experience.

I am GMing the campaign, looking over the Whitebox it is unbelievably easy to run a game using this.

I am definitely interested. I got my start in the game back in the 80’s with a big box of books from a garage sale that included the original white box, red box, and ad&d1e. I never really got to play the white box as it seemed complicated for me as a kid. I’ve always wanted to go back and try my hand at it. It looks like these rules were designed after that box so I’m definitely interested

Good to see at least one response. I am thinking of rolling all dice during combat. But only thinking, just to see how faster it goes with combat.

If that takes out the fun in any way, I won't do it. Also if I do roll, since it is my first time, I plan on keeping the party small 3-4 characters.

Sounds good. Only issue I could see with the combat is if I wanted to turn tail and run or do something out of the ordinary. Those early editions are pretty unforgiving at lower levels. lol. I'm sure it can all be worked out.

The edition might be unforgiving, not the DM.

I’m writing a blurb on the crawl this evening. Hope to post it soon.

Shadowace, I invited you. While we are still waiting for more players, I thought we could have some good ol' combat fun in the arena. After all, didn't this start as a war game?

We have a fighter Vil Grimhammer and a dwarf C’ang DerrThorn to raid the Maze of Maldoom.

Still looking for the adventurous.

I am willing to give it a go. I played D&D with the Greyhawk supplement back in the day.

FYI, I first heard about D&D at a wargaming convention.

Hi,

First time playing by post but plenty of experience playing older versions of D&D starting back in the early 90s with 2nd Ed.
I would be interested in this game if you'll have me. Let me know.

Invites sent. The character creation process is simple 36 in order seven times the last one being an extra to replace a low previous score.
