Order of the Stick (the game) - Players have been chosen

Post by BadgeAddict » Thu Mar 14, 2013 11:48 am

I will try to put this together in the coming weeks, please reply here if you are interested in playing. I'm going to be taking a few liberties with this game to make it not as graphic-y. Example: Wound tracker will be replaced with Hp 4/4 (0/4 will signify you fleeing the dungeon)

The rules can be found at the following Link, I would suggest you read them....more than once.
Base game rules: http://apegames.com/oots/oots-dod/OOTS_Rules.pdf

Belkar

More characters to come...

If you could supply 1st 2nd and 3rd character choices, we can make character selection..less painful. I will supply more information about each character for those who haven't played before.

I keep looking at my box with a look of mourning after the most recent sting of updates, but I'm be interested in playing.

Just not 100% sure how you'll do this and respect the Giant's copyright? (I tried to figure it out myself to run this online too!)

EDIT: I'm more than ready for random, but Belkar holds a special place in my heart and Elan is the one that makes me go :wall: depending on the group. :roll:

Looks cool. I'd be up for giving that a whirl.

I would be open to giving it a try. I kinda like Elan, but I would like to be Roy also.

I would like to play.

My sister has this game at home, but we almost never get around to play it. :(
But at least I should be familiar with the rules...

Little bit of an update on this. Yes, recruitment is still open, the game will close for recruitment April 5thMarch 28th (this is on account of me moving into my new house) and we'll start playing (setup) on April 8th. I think I could update daily, but will probably update 2-3 times per week (Faster if everyone has their actions in).

If anyone has any question or need clarifications on the rules, please feel free to ask.

The OOTS game is turn based, it is not? So how can everyone have their actions in without you posting the new room that someone discovers?

Unless you mean that, after the room is displayed, the other Players play their monsters, and the person who has the current turn attacks as many of them as they want to?

I probably made that question overly confusion... :roll:

I apologize for the confusion in my statement, Yes, It is turn based, But given the room exploration and possible monster playing (because sometime it doesn't happen) I will update as fast as possible. By my updating schedule I mean the following:

If it is your turn, and you move into a new room, I create an update post which has new room information, then I will ask for people to play monsters going around the table.

The update based on your turn actions should happen daily, whereas the round the table part will probably try to be 2-3 times per week so that it actually keeps moving. But, if everyone gets there monster in then it can go faster. Thank you for asking this question so I could clarify that.

Well, we already have two people who enjoy Belkar. Though we still don't know if we're going to have them randomly assigned, or roll to select, or what, though. (Maybe when we roll for Initiative, the first person selects their PC before entering the dungeon, and so on?)

Okay, Signups will close March 28th Thursday. It looks like we have enough people to play plus more so I feel safe to close it. I have good Friday off, So i can set everything up. I will roll to see who is playing on friday and then create a game post in the forum games with everyone who is playing. As far as who gets what character. We'll figure that out after roll-day. Once I we figure that out, I will send you your starting Schticks to pick from, and we'll get started afterwards. Thank you all for your patience.

Oh, so that's why it was left open.

Are you doing it by draw, or what exactly?

As far as the setup, I will do a little artistry (this will mainly be a square boxes, with words inside(signifying rooms), because this is a map building game) however there will be no photocopying. As far as character cards.If everyone can choose a 1st, 2nd and possibly 3rd preferred character, I will roll to see who wins any ties. (does that make sense?) That way it won't be horrible if you don't get your chosen characters and you will hopefully not end up with someone you hate.

Oh, I'd meant for which six people were playing.

But for my three: Belkar, V and...[Haley or Roy]. (For the last two, you can give the tie for third to another, if applicable.)
