Did anyone play the EverQuest tabletop game?

[myriverse]

Got the books, but I never could actually bring myself to play it.

Is there a version of this for vassal zanderr? I would definitely play with you.

I've actually read through a ton of these simply for the lore. I have 0 idea how to actually play the talbetop game, but I know it does involve sitting, and the haste section looked insane. Don't know if the rules are weird- or you just do crazy math for it.

Fast weapons and hasted people attack more often than slow weapons and slowed people. If you can do basic subtraction on the fly, you're good. I believe we have a similar mechanic in P1999 actually...

you are absolutely right. For some reason I remember haste in the game involving tons of fractions- but there is just a table of effects per level of haste- that can affect delay that works in conjunction with the iterative attack table.

On my first quick pass I thought there was fractional math to do which I am completely wrong.

Looks neat- I'd definitely be down to give this a go.

Badguy has ac of 15

you roll a 20 sided dice or "d20"

you get a 11, but you have a strength modifier of +1 and an enchanted sword of +1 and the bard used courage song or whatever the fuck which gives you another +2

your attack (where ATK in eq derives from) roll adds up to 15, which means it's successful against ac 15

roll damage based on weapon (dagger d4, staff d6, longsword d8, battleaxe d12) plus any damage modifiers.

that's how much damage you do.






and then some lame bullshit about skills, spells and resistances which gets pretty mathy

Damn I thought it was a board game and not pen and paper, I'd still play with you though

table top game based on an MMORPG based on a tabletop game.

lol.



I read through the rules and it looked pretty flavorful as opposed to how dry the core books are for 3.5e. I've always wanted to DM a 3.5/pathfinder game in norrath with players who don't know EQ but change all the names around. I mean, think about it, all of us know pretty much every zone/item/quest like the backs of our hand. You could just draw maps/place mobs from memory and they could open world that shit fluidly.

I actually DMed a 3.5 (maybe it was 3.0, I can't remember) game with my buddies in Norrath. It was fun mapping out the floors of Blackburrow on graph paper for their first dungeon experience [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Unfortunately I TPKed the party while they were en route to Kunark cause they refused to accept a defeat at the hands of some pirates and I wasn't quick enough on my feet back then. Actually, thinking about it, it wasn't a TPK. Most of the party went down with their ship, but someone had gotten off the ship and gone to an island in TD to explore before the ship was sunk... lol.
