unnamed Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition play-by-post campaign

[James Brafin]

I don’t know too much btw, but I do DM Pathfinder, which is not that different. Plus I pick up on this stuff really fast.

[James Brafin]

Thinking either a MPD bipolar wizard/cleric with this cool switch effect we could discuss or a dumb brute barbarian. Because let’s be honest, when your vocabulary consists of minimal words, you’re hilarious. Am i rite?

[xRECKONERx]

ill think about a character after i knew the setting/module/starting level

there's a few multiclasses i wanted to try but ive also never played a pure spellcaster like sorc or wiz so that's intriguing to me

[SleepyKrew]

how do people feel about two separate groups, one for experienced players and one for newbies or those still learning?

[xRECKONERx]

idc as long as i play but i worry ab ur burnout doing 2 games at once

[SleepyKrew]

it's play by post so I think I can handle it

[Nexus]

Can I play

[brassherald]

Put me down for experienced if we do two groups. I would be fine helping the newbies, but I am by no means new to 5e.

[SleepyKrew]

I'll start getting properly organized tonight

[AniX]

YAAAAASSSSS
we are part of a local group that just started up, but one on MafiaScum? Yes please!
One request: I’d like to be a Kineticist from Pathfinder? I know the two systems are semi-compatible, but it is partly DM opinion?
Also going to tell Inferno. He loves this stuff.

I think you might be confusing 3.5 and 5e. 3.5 and Pathfinder are heavily compatible and crossover is easy. 3.5/Pathfinder and 5e, however, are largely two different systems that, beyond general d20 rule stuff, don't really have much crossover potential.

[SleepyKrew]

How does everyone feel about player characters dying?

Also, two groups seems likely but they probably won't have a veteran/newbie split. I'll do my best to help newbies learn as we play though.

[Ircher]

It's fine as long as it isn't excessive.

[PJ.]

It's fine ONLY as long as it is excessive

[brassherald]

I will actually add to the explanations, to make it more excessive.

[Errantparabola]

i expect to die after every post i make (just like in real life)

[Inferno390]

I’m okay with dying as long as it’s kept in pretty good check.

Oh! Good to know.

[McMenno]

there should be a minimum of one TPK per two fights

[Nero Cain]

I'm playing 3.5 in a group (since most of us are new) and it's enjoyable. I'm reasonably intelligent so I don't think I'd have a hard time picking up 5but I could see where more experienced players might get frustrated with someone that's learning a bit still. Also I think that if the party is TOO BIG the game might be hard to handle? idk. I'd be fine sitting out or being in the newb party or w/e.

[brassherald]

I've also given much thought to this, and I am withdrawing my Probs ranger statement before. I still don't really like any of their subclasses. How are rangers still so boring?

PEdit: Nero, I switched to 5e because it's easier to understand than 3.5

[Nexus]

Dying is fine.

I would prefer to play 5e.

[xRECKONERx]

5e please.

Also HIGHLY support PCs dying if they do something stupid. Game should have real stakes.

The real 5e starts here.

[PJ.]

Why are you guys acting like not 5e is an option? Sleepo doesn't know how to play 3.5
