Dungeons and Dragons

[Hasbinlulz]

I played and DM'd in AD&D for about three years before 2e started coming out.. 2e rulebooks worked really well with AD&D books, so there was an easy transition. I then discovered Teh Ladeez, and gave up on RPG for a bit. Then I discovered MuDs, and was liek "fuk chicks, play muds." And then Everquast. That brings us to now, when I've been given all this 4e shit. I've played exactly 1 game of 4e and now I've DM'd 1 as well. I have to say I am pleasantly surprised. Coming out of the AD&D tradition, at first, I was nonplussed by the lack of restrictions on characters; the system seems very open ended. I started by implementing old school stat reqs and race reqs for characters, but found that stat reqs dont make sense the way they used to, and have decided that race reqs bring enough of the oldschool back. I also really miss THAC0, but I have to admit the simplicity of the defenses system is nice. In all, I have found 4e almost runs itself if you do the setup work, and even in my very first run through, I didn't have to consult a single book during play.

Shit is serious now too, coz I'm straight up idiotic crafting dioramas and 2.5d dungeon tiles.

Also, you can't be tiefling or dragonborn or a shifter or anything else stupid in my campaign. That is all.

I've been known to roll dice on occasion.

Anyone ever play SpellJammer?

So my crowning achievement is my model spell jammer. It was the center piece of an epic 3.5 campaign that lasted from level one to the low 20's and about 5 or 6 years. The entire thing was built within the rules and using the wealth accumulated by the party. I consider it a point of pride that it was fully stated within the rules. the whole ship was in the 28mm scale, or meant for use with 1" D&D minis. It's getting a bit old so the wood's starting to warp and I've taken out some of the accessories for use in other games.

Here the Cliff's Notes:

Xathrean Magocracy Ship: Daedalus

Steel Chassis Magically hardened
Adamantine Innerwalls
Epic Mythallar Spell: Xao's Aegis
Arrointed Spells: Any dimensional Travel w/o Xao's leave
The entire Ship is proof against Transmutation
Proofed against divination
Magically levitated Fortress. Propulsion 2 Coldfire engines providing 40mph max speed.
Air Tight.
Multiple decanters of endless water and bottles of air that provide increased maneuverability.
Bunch of other stuff I forgot.


Crew Complement: ~34. Most are follows of a 23rd level cleric with the leadership feat and a 24 charisma w/ the feat: Extra Followers. At any given time it's manned by ~15 warlocks of 3-5th level who have taken eldritch spear so the ship can broadside for about 15d6 every round at a range of 250'. wands of fireball are also stocked for additional firepower. The rest consists of clerics and support crew. The captain: Hikaru Sulu is a ~9th level marshall.

Photobomb
Docking bay, engineering, sick bay, storage, etc.

Every single painted mini/accessory has a defined purpose within the 3.5 rules. Example, the bottles on the bottom deck are the decanters of endless water. I did the math a while back on how much power/gallons per second they can output, but I don't know what I did with it.

Nah, for naval architecture, one simply must refer to the authoritative supplement...

Turning turbines for limitless magical power generation?

Not quite. The campaign has no electrical knowledge, and so all "technology" was magical in nature. The water is essentially used to improve the ships maneuverability during turns, and to fight forest fires I suppose.
