So, I want to play some good old pen and paper D&D and am looking for some people who may be interested in joining me.

Now we will be using a website called roll20.net that acts as a virtual tabletop and dice rolling system.

If you've never played before don't let that put you off. It's really easy to play and can be summed up as such. I'll also explain rules as and when the crop up.
The GM/DM (Game Master or Dungeon Master) presents you with a situation. You tell him how your character deals with a situation. An Example:

DM:"You walk into the room with a chest in the centre."
P1:"I want to open the chest."
DM:"You try to open the chest but the lid will not move. It's locked"
P2:"Stand aside, I've got this. SUPER DWARFISH UNLOCK HEAD BUTT!"
DM:"An effort worthy of song but the chest remains locked."
P1:"I'll try and pick the lock."
P3:"Umm, why don't we just use this key we found before that says 'Chest Key'"
P1:"Uh, ok."
DM:"You've unlocked the chest and it opens freely."

You can get the rule book here: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?2xw7xkb6k5e68a5
this contains all the info for playing and creating a new char from scratch. If you want more options for your char this book gives you more options for races and classes: http://www.mediafire.com/view/?o664zot2tyn733n

If you don't want to roll your own char I will have some pre-rolled chars put together for you to flesh out as you see fit.

Some prerolled char's plus a quick rule set. http://www.mediafire.com/?8us2789u14hi53k

So what I'd like to know is who'd like to join me?

Lair Keeper - Long Fang - Pack Keeper

I was about to ask "3.5 or 4th ed" but then a little pdf told me the answer. I'm interested, but I'm inexperienced with the new 4e systems beyond "powers galore".

It's a Squash! I swear!

I never played 3.5, I played 2nd then 4th so yeah. XD

I strip it down to a rather basic set of mechanics so as not to get hung up on details.

All you really need to understand is the Actions in an encounter: Move, Minor & Standard.

And the dice rolling for actions like attacking and actions like picking locks or breaking down doors.

Lair Keeper - Long Fang - Pack Keeper

Deal Me in. Gonna look at those pdf's later, but probably going to make a caster (I'm partial to druids and wizards)

It's a Squash! I swear!

I guess I may be able to try it. Depends.

Ooh, been interested in this for quite long but I've never tried it. Is it really very complicated? Becuase I've got exam week coming and I'd gladly try if it doesn't take ages to learn :P

Ill be in for that as well
