Great! Happy to be on board with the group. A high elf wizrard it is! 

Reviewing the thread - we are using the 27 point buy system from the PHB, so no scores above 15 before racial mods? Do I have that correct? Are there any other details we need to keep in mind for character creation?

Either campaign works for me. I'm only familiar with the Forgotten Realms world, but could easily adjust to the Blacktooth campaign. Whichever works is good by me. 

Yeah, the PHB point buy system. 

At this point I'm just waiting to hear back from Tann - if he has more players I want their input on things before we begin.  If anyone else out there is interested it would be great to add them in.  Right now I'm leaning towards the Blacktooth campaign since that is the easiest for me, but will wait for the final player tally before making that decision. 

Other things you need to know for player development?  Not at the moment.  A few things still depend on the final numbers.  I guess two things:

1.  Either campaign (Blacktooth or Forgotten Realms) will start off with some outdoor marching that will ultimately lead to some dungeon crawl.  In both cases ther will be opportunities to interact with the locals.  This can either be done quickly to get you the necessary information or be role-played into something bigger. 

2.  I am inclined to run this the way Tann always ran Trilogy.  This means you post what you want your characters to do and then I will take care of the dice rolls and describe the results.  If you wish to help me out by telling me the details (attacks with +5, doing 128+3 or this is the action and this is a bonus action) you can, but don't need to do so.

Mischief is thinking on it but is unsure as its a new system she has absolutely no experience with. Only character D&D wise she has ever played was a Thief in my game. Sooo I'm thinking of giving her my thief character and running a Warforged Fighter named Steel. That would give us 5 players with 2 thieves, 1 cleric, 1 mage and a fighter. Will that work? Just a head's up Nomad in the beginning until she would get the hang of it I'd be helping her alot so don't be surprised if her posts sound like me lol

Hey Nomad,

I'm interested. Is there a starting gold amount for us to equip our characters?

I'm not committed yet. But if I did come on board, I'm thinking a Warlock [Hexblade] focused around eldritch blast. 

Peace,

Ayrn

Aryn - Love to have the warlock.

Mischief as a Rogue would be great.

I will get AD&D Beyond looked at tomorrow (Wednesday) - assuming it looks like something really useful.  I will also set up game threads then and let you know details about starting money, magic, or whatever.  If you want to start for now think about having twice normal starting money and maybe a very minor item - a potion of healing or such.  Anything beyond that I'll let you know tomorrow. 

Tonight I get to do a live game via Discord so no time. 

Oh - it will be Blacktooth Ridge.  Details all coming soon . . .

AD&D beyond is extremely useful.  Super easy to create and upkeep characters for players.  Our tabletop group used it every session.  

Just checking, but this is what I have at this point: 

Keeper of Dragons – High Elf Thief Assassin - Hornet

Tann – Warforged Fighter - Steel

Nimu – Elven Wizard

Hammer – Hill Dwarf Cleric – Dok

Mischief - Rogue

Keeper -

Do you know where on the site I go to enable different classes that aren't in the basic rulebook?  When I set up a campaign it is obvious how to invite players and post a message, but not much more.  if you aren't sure I can dig, but I figured it might be faster to ask.

Not sure.  I think they are purchase things you can then share.  The other group I was in one guy had bought the expansion books and shared them.  Can always go with the basic stuff for now.  

If players set their characters as "public" on AD&D beyond the rest of the players in a campaign can see their sheet.  We found that was helpful as it allowed players to help each other by offering advice on how a character might act or what they could do that was most helpful.  

Nomad, Saturday night I'll be playing in the Discord/Fantasy Grounds/D&D Beyond game i'm currently in. I'll ask the DM how he got the campaign and such up and running with us being able to create characters using varients and other then normal races such as the Warforged. As Keeper already has said you may have to pay for a few books but I'll hopefully get the info we need.

...I'm thrilled to see a new game starting up and, hopefully, bring some activity back to the Inn! Good on ya, Nomad! Kudos!

Thanks Tann.

If I have to buy a book or two it probably isn't the end of the world.  Let me know what you learn.  And I'll keep poking around.  People can go ahead and develop what they have so far.

Hornet is ready on AD&D beyond.  Everyone should be able to see it once they join the campaign.  

Thanks for setting things up on the new platform. I've begun working on the character and hope to have everything ready soon. Running into a few road blocks with the online system. For a wizard the only arcane path that it allows is Evocation, all the other PHB paths are unavailable (I'm planning an illusionist). Noticed a number of spells from the PHB are also missing. Is there anyway to allow that content? Am I missing something? Thanks!
