[D&D 4e] [IRC/Maptool] Dwarf Fortress Campaign
« on: March 02, 2011, 07:30:24 pm »
This is a recruitment thread for an online campaign I will be running over IRC and Maptool. Currently it looks like it will be run on Monday evenings PST.

The campaign pitch: this is a very sandboxy campaign. The PCs are helping to establish, build, and defend a dwarf fortress. Adventure hooks will come from defending the fort, acquiring resources, building armies to go on conquests or just going on good old fashioned dungeon crawls in the surrounding wilderness. I see this as being very player-driven. The campaign world starts off as a blank slate and is developed collaboratively as the campaign progresses.

Character creation: Level 1 4e character with inherent bonuses. You do not have to be a dwarf. I am very friendly toward reskinning. As far as background goes, inventing stuff about the background world, organisations, and why your PC is helping with the fort is smiled upon. I am thinking a 4-5 person party would be best (So far I have 3 players, so there are a few more slots left)

So post in here to show interest, you can also hit me up over AIM (ColonelAlasdair) or PM me for my email!

This seems like an interesting idea to me. I would join, but the monday time doesn't work for me. Good luck on recruiting others.

Just an idea, will maps be made with dwarf fortress itself?

A very interesting game idea, I will be keeping an eye on this but as it is I'm already in enough games.

Oh wait, "insane" doesn't work on this forum.
Crap, can't think of an alternative.

I'm in mountain time zone (GMT -7), and interested, but how late in the evenings are you thinking about running this? (I'm usually occupied till about 7:00 your time, Alasdair)

Also, what's our party currently consist of?

Shade Administrator/Manager, Handles politics, planning, and diplomacy. Always wears a black robe with a mask and hood constantly pulled up.
There's my character, also no specific gender, but appears male.

Just curious on how the whole online thing is going to work, never done this before but i'm really interested.

A commodity appears at first sight an extremely obvious, trivial thing. But its analysis brings out that it is a very strange thing, abounding in metaphysical subtleties and theological niceties.

This game could honestly give out hand jobs for free and people would still bitch.
