Ok boys and girls, as soon as we have a couple of players, we will begin our first game. It will be played in several different sessions and each session will be played on Saturdays. Let me know if your interested.

Oh yeah Draco..... The ol' ChazzDv is here, but as Drake Marsee and since everything has calmed down and I am more free time than ever..... I WANNA PLAY!!!

Then we will begin this Saturday.

Okay dude, fine with me but one question? Can you like help explain to me how it will be played? Since I haven't played D-20 before and I don't want to not know how to play when we start and me ended up making it so we are very slow because I don't know how to play.

It's very simple. The game master tells a story in which all players are the characters involved in the story. Just like in real life, you cannot control the situations around you, you can only control how you react or the actions you take in the situation. Keeping this in mind will greatly help gametime due to the fact that we don't need to stop to tell you that "you can't do that" and have to explain why. So, I will give an example of gameplay:

Gamemaster: "Your sitting in a Cantina on Dantooine. A Sullustan approaches you and attack out of a drunken rage. He pulls a vibroblade and swings down at your head."

Player: "I try to move to the side in order to doge the attack"

Gamemaster: "You will need to roll a Reflex Defense check to see if you can dodge successfully. DC 15 -5 for a drunken hit. The Sullustan is drunk and can't aim as normal. so, DC 10. What is your Reflex Defense score?"

Player: "My Reflex Defense is +1."

Gamemaster: "Ok. You roll 1D20 and add 1 to the result."

Player rolls and the result is 9. The player adds the 1 for his Reflex Defense score for a total of 10.

Gamemaster: "Your roll was either equal to or greater than the DC so you dodged successfully. Now your move."

Player: "I will draw my blaster and fire at his chest."

This is a short example of gameplay. In a real game, it will be much more detailed though. There is a die roll needed to do just about everything you do, even outside of battle. The reason for this is so that no one can be flawless. Someone would like to jump that wall, but they may indeed trip over it in the process, or fall on the first attempt. In play by post, evryone would post that they make it over without any difficulties. The die rolls keeps it more like real life.

Now, to roll the dice, there is a roll dice box just below this window. Click the little drop menu there and choose which die to roll. The n in the box next to that, input the number of those dice you need to roll. After you have typed all you want to say and input the dice info., Hit send and it will automatically post the numbers you rolled. If you want to try it, try it in this thread. I will roll 4D20.

The member 'Draco Korr' has done the following action : Roll Dice

'D20' :

Result : 5, 6, 3, 3

Otay mane, I know what to do and how to play now. So, what is this story The Echoes Of Darkness going to be about?

Well, I am not going to spoil anything but the mission breifing and objectives have already been posted in the RPG discussion forum.

Finally! Healthy discussion has returned to the site!

lol, otay Draco I get the hint. I will check and read them out and yeah I KNOW! Finally something to post to, lol

Lord Kylix, you should check out the brand new general site we just started a couple of days ago:

http://swoe.forummotions.com

I think you'll like it

Yes, i think you will. Since things on this site are going to go slow for awhile considering this is a D-20 style RPG and there isn't enough players yet to play. The new general site has everything from Post To Play, to character fan art and scupltures, to places where you can post some SW Stories you've been writng! So I think you'll like it too

Hey guys, I must appoligize to yall. My boys had an Ice Hockey game today and they shut the other team out. The score was 5-0, this was their first career shutout and I took them to celebrate. I completely lost track of time guys...that was my mistake. I will be by a computer tommorow for at least half of the day if anyone is still interested in playing. Let me know by PM tonight if possible and I will make it up to you guys.

Awwwwww Draco, they did really good and that is your family dude, no need to explain. Where did ya take them to celebrate? There team sounds awesome dude!

I took them to Hooters for hot wings and then to the mall to get their names added to their jerseys. While we waited, I took them to see Madigasscar 2. Oh and I went and had my three year old sized for his hockey pads and bought them for his Christmas gift.
