Hey there all! Looking forward to exploring the bottom of a pit trap with y'all!

So what's the starting level? Seems we've known each other for a while now and have SOME sort of small town renown... Three?
Also, since BF has a lot of supplemental material and optional rules such as cantrips, various mage abilities, optional classes like assassin, illusionist, barbarian, etc, what will be allowed in?

My father-in-law is in the ICU with heart trouble. I do want to participate and will try to keep pace, but if I miss a beat here or there, please be forgiving. I expect this will be at least through the weekend. They are putting a permanent pacemaker in him tomorrow and then he just has to conquer aspirational pneumonia and get his kidneys back on track. As many of you know, my wife is blind and I serve as her eyes, including driving her to visit him (45 minutes away).

It's fine, WhtKnt! We won't be playing proper for at least a week while I go over things.
That said, I was actually looking over most of the things available a la carte. I can certainly say the additional classes, cantrips/orisons, gnomes, and half-races are available for you lot.
I'm still determining the starting level because of the differing XP amounts. For now, players may go off of 5000 XP - which, funnily enough, is about 3rd level for most classes. I might raise that amount, since 5000 was the lowest is was thinking.

I've been debating that too. I've been stuck between 3d6 vs 4d6... Hrrrmmmmm...
Y'know what, 3d6 will do fine. Down the line, with one free swap between stats.

Let's get this train a'rollin!
Three 14s in Str, Dex, and Cha. And 10s in Int, Wis, and a 9 in Con. I could swap Str and Int to make a dagger-throwing magic-user. Or stay as is for a good thief.
Really, this damn character could be anything. That's almost frustrating.

Surprisingly, I can live with these rolls. Looks like a good cleric to me, so I’m going with a dwarf cleric who complains about everything, but is extremely loyal to her allies. I’m swapping Charisma and Constitution.
Strength 14
Intelligence 11
Wisdom 15
Dexterity 10
Constitution 11
Charisma 8
Will have to wait until I can get to the books to do the rest.

Could I perhaps swap two of my attributes? I'm thinking with a 3 stat the only truly viable course would be to make a half-ogre or bisren fighter or barbarian who's too stupid to even speak but feels eternal kinship and protectiveness over his companions for being the only people ever to not scream and spit at him.
I would want to swap Dex with Int and Str with Wis to end up with:
Str 16
Int 3
Wis 8
Dex 9
Con 15
Cha 12

Yeah, that sounds fine. Oughta make for an interesting character!
Damn though, the dice seem to be somewhat agreeable for everyone!
I'll try to get some more info up tonight when I get home from work; likely some info about the world and city. It is all still WIP and growing, so if you wanna help, feel free! Questions are what get the brain juices flowing.

Drova worships a god of martyrs and/or hardships and believes that hard work is its own reward. She is ready except for her gold and equipment. She complains about nearly everything, often casting herself as the martyr, but is fiercely loyal to her allies. I have submitted her sheet for approval.

Really looking forward to playing with you all ^^.
I have my first draft for Vallana the Druid:
From a very young age Vallana ("Val" for her friends) was selected to be inducted into a druidic circle ("Circle of the fallen Moon"). As part of the circle’s training young acolytes are stripped of their last name. Since the circle itself accepts acolytes from multiple species, including humans and halflings, she did not have a typical elven upbringing. The day she became of full age she was sent out as part of her training to become a full-fledged druid or Lorespeaker. Now she must wander 7 years and learn about the world and finally find her druidic name.
Most would describe her as strange and cold, showing little emotion to strangers which often makes her an outcast when visiting civilization. People familiar with her soon learn that she also has a warm and caring side to her and has trouble showing it. To help with her quest she decided to join a group of adventures in hope of making a name for herself…
Thought I keep it on the short side, since OSR characters have a habit of dying on me pretty fast.
Btw: If I do anything that does not conform to PbP culture (or I do something else wrong) do not hesitate to give me feedback :D

In the spirit of OSR, let's roll for some spells!
I'll swap out the second and third rolls since otherwise it would double up on Read Magic.
Looks like...Protection from Evil, Sleep, and Mirror Image.
That is, of course, assuming that I'm just starting with a few spells. I'm happy with whatever.

I would have liked to make a Dwarf fighter - in that case, I would swap my STR with DEX.
Or do you think the party would need a Thief? In that case, I can make a Halfling Thief. Let me know your thoughts.

I could always swap out my Magic-User for a Gnome Thief, or Thief-Illusionist.
Done. Gnome Thief/Magic-User is submitted. He may not be good at anything, but that just means he's bad at...

Aye, thank ye, Dom!
Welcome in btw!
I'll be putting up the first thread for everyone to RP in while we wait for the return of Whtknt and characters who are not yet finished. There's another invite out, but they seem to be ignoring it, sadly. Even sent out a pm to make sure that they got it directly - nothing back.

Yep, thanks Dom! And thanks for having me AC :D I've been meaning to give BFRPG a proper play for a good while now (I default to OSE in my home games)

Okay, Drova is up to date and ready for play. Since we begin with no gear, I didn't bother to purchase any. Should I do so?

Oh crap, I knew there was something I forgot to do after I finished... I'll get right on it!

Sorry for the delay folks: I've been mired in festival preparations !
For some reason I can't select my character to post as: is there something I or you need to do @AbbyssalChimera?

Will get Drova's equipment sometime shortly. Been knee-deep in the funeral and family from both sides for the last several days.

I'll try to read over everything and post tomorrow if I don't get swamped with work.

Frankly I have so many games going on that I like to have a couple that take their time. No rush here mate.
Feb 13, 2023 10:01 am
Take all the time you need. I think that most people that gm (or even play) know that feeling.

Awww, thanks everyone! Making a girl blush here XD
I've got it fairly easy tonight at work, so I can be a bit more active.

Definitely no rush here. I have a convention that I'm helping run the first weekend in March and I'm knee-deep in setting up for that.
Feb 14, 2023 1:47 am
I'm super jealous, I had to pass on strategicon last weekend cuz I'm saving my money for my Everest trip in March.
Feb 14, 2023 3:32 am
CoastCon is a sci-fi/fantasy convention, but we also have a lot of gaming (the largest gaming area in the southeastern US). I'm in charge of the entire gaming area and my wife runs the convention (she's the director).

I will be traveling to Nepal on the 12th of this month thru the 29th and will have spotty internet at best. I'll try to keep up on my downtime as best I can.

Hello. I am terribly sorry, but I will have to leave play-by-post for now. There is a lot going on I am currently missing to energy to post and read regularly. I hope you can find a good replacement for me soon.
Thanks for letting me be a part of this and try it out!

Welp, got a bit of a pickle here now. Player gone, one's away on vacation, and another seeming vanished. Bosko is about to be 2 weeks inactive. Unless they return, we're down to just three players. I could try putting up another ad, but I think there might not be many bites since I pulled in everyone that was interested previously, with the exception of one ignored invite.
I'll give it some thought, but I might wind up shelving the game sadly.

Yeah, Bosko has likewise disappeared from my Temple of Elemental Evil game. I'm game to stay with it if you want to continue, but I completely understand if you shelve it.

My luck with running any osr games has not been stellar, aside from the last one.

I'd be happy playing with a small team of three, or understand too if it's easier to shelve the game! Such is the frustrating reality of pbp alas
Mar 27, 2023 10:11 pm
Unfortunately, yeah.
I'll give it another day or two to think things over. Thanks everyone for understanding.

I'm back! Bummer about the attrition but such is PbP, eh? I'd love to keep going regardless of number of players, I think our last OSR game ran well with three didn't it? I'd also be very happy to go back to the other game and revive Datura.
Apr 4, 2023 11:03 pm
Alright, we'll give it a shot then. If not, I would be open to doing some sandbox adventuring again. Might do a bit better.
Apr 11, 2023 2:53 am
Er, @WhtKnt , it's just an attack roll like in modern games. There's no THAC0. Str mod plus your attack modifier.
Apr 11, 2023 6:34 pm
Kk. I'll make it that way going forth. I just figured that it was easier for the GM to do it the other way. No problem.
May 10, 2023 3:29 am
No probs, I've been busy with my mom. She just got out of the hospital last Saturday.
May 10, 2023 10:33 pm
It's been rough on her, but for now she's feeling better. Dialysis is a thing now, so that's fun. Can't have any of her favorite things now, such as nuts and cheese. Shopping is going to be THAT much tougher now that I'm having to look out for sodium, potassium, and phosphorus :\
Jun 14, 2023 9:50 pm
Just a heads-up: my wife is having a hip replacement Friday, so for the next six weeks, she is going to be in recovery mode and I will be handling the house. If I'm late with posts, please be forgiving.
Jun 15, 2023 7:11 am
Aye, hope she recovers well after that.
Speaking of which, I've been thinking of shelving this game in favor of doing something more sandbox-y with smaller quests and the like. I feel like I've lost people on this one, so it'll be going back to the drawing board.

Jun 15, 2023 2:36 pm
I'm for that. I like playing Bull and all but it's tough trying to stick to dialogue that reflects a 3 intelligence lol! I can't really progress the story at all or put together clues... Just "hur dur smash wit rok"

Oh you're certainly welcomed! I'll just need to take some time to flesh bits out some more. Gods, settlements, etc etc.
I'll keep this game open until then to give updates when they come.

So, just to have a bit more of a focus, would it be preferred to keep to Basic Fantasy? I kinda keep looking towards OSRIC, or even heading back to OSE at some point. It's more for mechanics I'm thinking about this, as well as available races and creatures.
Jun 21, 2023 2:32 pm
Can't go wrong with fantasy. I've been re-reading the Dying Earth books by Vance in honor of the new Dying Earth DCC release and I'm super into the "fantasy born of dead tech" theme of his world.
Jun 21, 2023 8:43 pm
I'm good with any of the above. I have Basic Fantasy, OSRIC, OSE, and DCC, and am proficient in all four.
