An Adventure
So I was thinking about Dungeons and Dragons like any normal person would and couldn't recall any DnD game played here; why not start one?
This'll basically be a knockoff watered down Dungeons and Dragons game since
a) I don't have a manual and
b) it's a complex game.
Some cuts I'm going to make are that there are no spells, and you're all people (no special races or classes). Also not sure how leveling up is going to work. But basically I'll give you your background, character traits, special abilities, name, ability scores, etc.
Gameplay is going to look something like follows:
1. You get PMs which you keep as your character sheets.
2. I drop you in a situation (me being the "Dungeon Master")
3. Everyone loses interest. Someone eventually dies. Dead people cannot come back, even as different characters. But don't worry! The more dead people there are, the faster the remaining people will die! How exciting!
4. There is no winning and losing in the traditional sense. Just having fun and then viciously dying.
Point of order before I end the post: Don't kill me if I get something wrong if you've actually played DnD before because I haven't. Also, you can suggest game mechanics at any time, but I'm the ultimate authority on the rules, which includes the privilege of adding/removing/changing rules if need be.
So who has any interest in playing?

Re: An Adventure
Hmmm, this sounds interesting. Personally, I've never heard of this game before (before you ask, yes, I have been living under a rock all my life).

I personally know very little about Dungeons and Dragons, but this sounds interesting.

I have no regrets.
