Shit didn't work for me. It just wouldn't let me log-in for whatever reason. I thought I typed my password/username wrong, requested it a bunch of times, never received shit and the site eventually locked me out from logging in. I tried again this morning and it still wouldn't work. Fuck.

Since that didn't work, could we go for something a little more mainstream next time we decide to do a game night?

I had some issues too, although mine were more of a falling asleep at my keyboard after working all day kinda thing.
Sorry, poor planning on my part in retrospect. We'll try again soon.

We just had some trouble with the last one, which was also the first one on the After Spell forums. We'll get our act together, probably.

I'm fine with playing (but not DMing) D&D online, as long as it's a campaign and not just a one-shot deal. We can use roll20.net, which is a free, browser-based tabletop. Regarding ruleset, I'm most familiar with 3.5, and actively avoid 4th Ed and D&D Next (did some earlier playtesting; D&D Next was not my cup of tea, but cannot say anything else about it due to NDA).

I need to do some research and watch some instructional videos because the last time i played D&D was like 1996. but im in on a regular basis, I got shit else going on after the kids are in bed and this sounds fun as shit! could you recommend any resources to relearn all this?

I'm actually looking into Roll20 as the likeliest option of getting this thing off the ground. Seems to have a very easy-going UI that anyone can get and use. I've DM'd before (with an original campaign, no less) but I think I'm not that great with it; I tend to just want to play with the crew instead of guiding them. I will do it if no one is willing to step up to bat. As soon as I get some more research in, and maybe get a bit more organize and have some people interested and locked, then this thing might just take off. I learned on 3.5 but played more with 4th than anything else. I'm fine with playing (but not DMing) D&D online, as long as it's a campaign and not just a one-shot deal.

The basics are the same and there's a string of rules throughout each edition that haven't changed since 1st edition came out. It oughtn't be too tough to get back in the saddle again. Depending on what edition we play, though, there will some "new" stuff that will have to be reviewed.

If you're looking for more prestige classes and player options than just that, I recommend D&D Tools (Link), which currently contains 99% of the 3.5 prestige classes and spells, and will, in the future contain more monsters, items and other goodies. D&D Tools is a bit more complicated, since it involves having to search for what you're looking for.

As soon as I get some more research in, and maybe get a bit more organize and have some people interested and locked, then this thing might just take off. I learned on 3.5 but played more with 4th than anything else. I generally avoid 4E because, to me, it plays like an MMORPG (In fact, Neverwinter Online is built on 4E, and follows the rules pretty closely), which almost every class being the same in terms of crunch, only really differing in fluff. In terms of what I'm looking for, I like to play in mid-to-high optimization, mid-to-high level, story-driven, open-world sandbox campaigns with minimal railroading or combat; I generally dislike combat because it's extremely time consuming, to a point where a combat round (which is supposed to be six seconds in-game time) can take an hour or more real time, and is minimally rewarding unless combat involves a bunch of mooks who pretty much die in one or so hits, or a Big Bad Evil Guy/Gal (BBEG) who has been built up over a period of time. I also only play evil characters, but not the moustache-twirling or party-backstabbing kind; rather, I tend to play neutral evil by D&D rules because I play consequentialists, whereas D&D morality/ethics is about your means, not your ends. I'd like to avoid Epic 6 campaigns and in fact prefer starting between levels 7 and 10, because before then, player characters don't feel special at all; in fact, they feel weak and not particularly heroic. Regarding character creation, I think using the point-buy system is for the best, to avoid the randomness of rolling for stats, and again, I think a high-end point buy would be in the interest of players.

If you have any questions regarding 3.5, feel free to ask me; I'm a huge D&D nerd, and I was at one point pretty deeply involved with the CharOp community.
