TS is very bad voice quality, though - and it's (often) easier to express oneself in writing than speaking, if you're not a native speaker. :)

I'd totally be all for D&D on the TS server or something like that. I've been looking for a game to join for the past few weeks anyway :)

ok i just now read n00b's post the whole way threw (lol sorry dude).

And net meeting would be a much better idea just for the fact of diagrams and maps could be shown to an entire party and the dm could just draw a picture of things he or she cant explane.

I found a nice dice program, actually, that I thought would work well before I talked to Italian Ice. Check it out:

http://www.forsakenrealms.com/

When I had mentioned the idea, I had suggested First or Second Edition rules because they are what I presently own. I could use 3rd or 3.5, but I don't have those books. I would have to go out and buy them and then read them.

Some people play Neverwinter Nights and I took a look at that engine, but the world and possibilities are too constrictive for RPG in my opinion. MSN messenger or some other online meeting software would be good for drawing diagrams, maps, and whatever. TS would be best for the voice, because it takes up little bandwidth and CPU, unlike Skype. Having voice chat would make the game come alive I think, just like face to face. Its been a notion I've been thinking about for a while, but never found anyone who was interested, UNTIL NOW. Why don't you guys who are interested e-mail me with days amd times you are available, including your time zone. Also send me what version you'd like to play and give me some comments about your experience with D&D. If there is enough interest, maybe a couple of groups could be formed.

Although possible to get a 100 sided die

a d100 is acctualy 2d10 (roll a 10 sided die twice)
The first result is the 10s and the second is the units.

The d10 has numbers 0 to 9 on it.

eg.
5 , 4 = 54
0 , 3 = 3
7 , 0 = 70
0 , 0 = 100

Those rules are.. wierd to say the least.
They dont include factors such as Armour.
And the d100 isnt used in general gameplay, but some DM's use them for treasure generation etc.

d100???? holy crap! lol

I'm not shure the rules i have learnded

and the way i played was that if ur dex was 15 and you wanted to shoot an arrow or something that requierd dex, you would roll a d20. if the roll is higher than ur dex (15 in this exaple) then you failed it. now to add to the fun depending on how close you were to failing the dm would make up a story to go with it. like if i need a roll of 15 or lower, and i get 1, then the hit was very dramatic (but dose same damage). but if i roll 16 then i just bearly missed, infact you might say something like it bounced off there armor...

True true !

going a little more indepth the general rule is:

1)Dungeon master picks / look up etc a Difficulty class(DC) for an action.

eg. Hmm Squib wants to climb the wall, ok DC 15, he has a rope, lets make it 12 then.

2) Player rolls a 20 sided dice (d20) and adds any modifiers

eg. Rolls a 8 has chosen to be skilled in climbing +2, is fairly strong +3 total = 13

3) If result < difficulty = failure,

eg. is 13 < 12 .... no it isnot, i beat the difficulty and therefor climb the wall

EDIT: PS. Im in too :) 3.5 rules yeah ?
