Forums / Fun! / Just For Fun

I've never played D&D before but I'd like to play it or some other tabletop game at least once. What I'd really like to do is create a tabletop session over the internet with fellow KYM members, but I have no idea if that's feasible or not. First off, I have no webcam, tabletop games, or tabletop simulator programs. I suppose the IRC could work, but then how can we confirm everyone reports their rolls honestly? And how would we make such a session possible, logistically? Like, would it be a case of chess by mail where everyone checks in every so often and takes their turn when it is theirs, like a forum? Or would we have to schedule a time that would work for all players, like Skype?

If you are at all interested in this idea, just post something in this thread indicating that you are interested and if you have any experience and/or own any tabletop games, and list them respectively. In return, I'll contact you if I ever figure something out. Also, if you have any answers to my questions or any advice or comments; if you are just being nice and aren't interested (please don't be shy, I appreciate any help at all!) then indicate you aren't interested-- otherwise, just follow the first set of instructions in this paragraph as well.

Thanks for reading this long post, and sorry it was written awkwardly. (Obviously, I'm hoping someone else steps up as dungeonmaster.) Here's hoping we can make this work and have some fun!

Uh, we already did this, a few members and I started a DnD skype group like 2 months ago, our DM left for unknown reasons after not playing for awhile, so we've been stuck waiting for a time to shine again.

You'll probably want to pick a module (( a campaign with a set of scenarios, a map layout, plot details and actions of NPC characters written up. Basically a strategy guide for running a game.)) Something simple, easy to get into for your first time, something that lets you ease into the systems and paperwork D&D can throw at you.

Tomb of Horrors is a good entry level campaign. Speaking as someone whose only played 1 game of D&D and didn't make it out of the tavern, it really is the best option for someone with little experience or knowledge of the rules.

Did someone say tabletop game?

Everyone online whose big on tabletop games goes on about Warhammer 40K but yet I've never once played it. I'm someone who has a fascination with it thanks to its fandom and some things directly related to it, like the Space Marine video game by Relic (I've heard how 40K fans often see the game as having the best representation of the Space Marines because they aren't the "Marty Stus" they seem to be in game books written by self professed Space Marine fanboys), but yeah I've never played the tabletop game nor have I read any of the official game books/modules/whatever by the company behind the game (Games Workshop).

My introduction to 40K comes from an odd source I'll admit, it's from me running across fanart of the character "Cultist-chan" and finding her amusing to the point of doing at least some minimal research on 40K.
