D&D Play by Post Rules

Note: Only Mature Posters who are not looking for 'instant' play need apply. By 'instant' we mean that things here happen within different time zones because this is an International Community. Members here take their time to develop their characters through writing skills, it is not 'live' play. If this is you... Read on.

1. First join our International Community, please note our rules. Joining and participating is FREE!

3. Proceed to Create Your AD&D Character using the generator or your own dice rolls. Your character must start at level ONE and be a SINGLE classed character This means no high level multi-classed Characters. Use all available buttons, but only use the [Display Character] button to Post your character (see #4 below)

4. Update: Dungeon Master, approves the character you create, once approved you start participating.

You now have more than one choice of who you will like your Dungeon Master to be: See the Member Wars Board or DMs available link.

This thread is to discuss the rules that we will be using in the play by post world.

Currently I will be the GM and I will be using the Dungeons and Dragons core rules of 3.5 edition.

I am looking for parties of three or more people to get this kicked off. I have posted a sample character sheet in the Character sheet thread. Please design your characters sheet using this model.

I might be interested in this if I don't have to be super active, but also I'm not all that bright about the D&D rules so I'll need help.

Rules Post Play Dragons and Dungeons

You do not have to be super active in here so yes you can join. The rules are pretty much the same as original AD&D with some modifications. I can help anyone who is not familiar with the 3.5 version to get their character set up.

I've been invited to play so I thought I'd give this a try. I was asked to link to my "Intro" - would that be where I post my character, as I don't see a thread marked "Intro"?

The Dice Master says...

KNtoran, you said you wanted to Discuss the rules here, are you talking about AD&D rules from the manual, the rules you require for play by post gaming or what exactly? You may want to add that to your first post.

Rather off topic, but...
Jpatt your Intro Thread is here: Source 6 please Bookmark it as that is where you Update us on what you're doing or any questions you have. Also, please use Offtopic tag for anything not related to the subject of the Thread. Thanks.

D&D Play Post Rules

The rules I am using are the core rules from the AD&D 3,5 version gaming system. I am flexible on some rules but I hold to the core rules.

Some of the basics.

1. You must create a character and post that character to the character thread to be approved by the DM.

2. IF your character needs modification I will let you know.

3. You can have more than one approved character but can only have one active at a time

4. All characters start at zero experience and max hit points. When you go up to a new level you start at zero experience once again. You roll for your hit points starting at level 2.

5. I do not enforce racial restrictions as long as there is a human in the party.

Any questions?



For thos of you interested in this style of game play please post a character. For posting a character follow these steps.

1. Register as a user on this forum.

2. Post a welcome thread telling us about you.

3. Get a piece of paper and pencil/pen this will be used to develop your character.

4. Go here Source 5 and roll 1d6 in the dice roller four times take away lowest dice score and other three to get six scores. If you have a yatzee game or have other games you can roll your own dice. The roll is the same take four dice roll them take away lowest and add other three.

5. Select a class for your character. Examples are fighter, wizard, cleric, ranger, barbarian, thief, paladin.

6. Once you select you class place your ability scores that you rolled in Strength, Intelligence, wisdom, dexterity, constitution and charisma. Remember each class uses different ability scores to add bonuses.

7. Now you need to check what skills and feats you wish to have. Check here Source 5 for the lists and number available to you.

8. Now you can go here Source 6 to equip your character.

9. Now your ready to post your character in the character thread located here .https://www.bordeglobal.com/foruminv/index.php?showtopic=51512
