I went through the experience of playing D&D v4 not too long ago.  If you want to play a computer "role-playing" game on a table-top, D&D4 is the game for you… plenty of jumping around and super-normal powers for everyone, right from the get-go.

Ecch.

It really made me wistful for DragonQuest.  I could never get the group I was with to play it – somehow my game ideas were always superseded by other games, always D&D.  I dusted off my game world the other day, and got the itch.

So…

I'm thinking of starting a play-by-post DQ game on Myth-Weavers ( www.myth-weavers.com. )  Work right now is eating my life, but by May it should be down to a dull roar.  I'm in the planning stages, looking to start the game end of May/early June.

Right now, I'd just like to know if there's enough interest to continue planning.  I'd like 4 to 6 players.  Here's a bit of background:

The setting is a particular continent and two substantial islands close by.  It was occupied by roving tribes millennia ago.  Openings into the underworld, called Hell Wells, spontaneously open up in random locations, and remain for a random duration.  These result in everything from conflicts on both large and small scales to unusual trade opportunities.

Many centuries ago, multiple Hell Wells opened up and disgorged a large number of infernal creatures who made war upon the human inhabitants.  In desperation, the humans sent ships across the unexplored oceans, looking for help.  One ship found an advanced peoples who agreed to come and fight the hordes of the underworld.

Once victorious, these saviors remained to rule the land, and began a golden age of great magic and technological advances.  Over the centuries, though, the rulers became cruel tyrants, and only after many savage battles were they defeated.  Out of the chaos following the overthrow of the tyrants, city-states and kingdoms arose.  Many settled areas have reverted to wild lands, and much knowledge of the golden age has been lost.  There is much intrigue amongst these nations, and many mysteries of olden times remain to be discovered and unraveled.

 All player-characters must be human.

Players will be given some experience to elevate characters past starting level.

I will request fairly extensive information on the background of prospective characters (and more background of the setting will be provided when we get to that point).

Again, right now, I'm just checking on possible interest.  Anybody up for a game?

Format:  I use a present tense narrative format, speech in bold, thoughts in italics.  OOC comments, questions, and etc. are put in OOC format.  Dice rolls can either be embedded in the text using OOC, or separated out. 

For those of you not familiar with Myth-Weavers, the formatting and dice code stuff is easy to learn and use.

Cultures: Not sure I understand the question.  Can you explain a bit more?

I'm just getting back into running my DQ campaign and I'm planning on making extensive use of the Spirits, Religions and Planes v1.3 rules (unless there's newer ones that I'm not aware of) that David Barrass, et al put together. I think its extremely valuable.

One question that came to mind as I was reviewing them was in regards to the restriction on knowing multiple colleges of magic and how or if that is meant to apply to mage-priests of the pagan religions. The Druid rules (section 110)would seem to imply that the restriction doesn't apply, at least for those folks. They get access to Bardic College magic early on and eventually, upon achieving Druid status, access to one of several colleges. The rules don't say that they lose their Bardic college in the process.

Also, section 107.12 states that in some religions a priest character can represent several aspects of a god, or even several gods, within certain restrictions. While he/she is limited to rank 3 priest in these secondary priest skills, it would allow them to have access to general knowledge of a 2nd or 3rd college(107.2). For instance a Priest that is primarily a servant of Seth - Lord of Deceipt (and therefore has access to Black Magics) but has a secondary skill as a priest of Seth - Lord of Fire (Fire Magics).

I'm inclined to believe that the intent of these rules was to allow such multi-college access for pagan priests. This would give them a great deal of diverse power, but with lots of restrictions.

I'd like to get some feedback from you folks on what you think.

Thanks much,
Ted

How does everyone handle grevious injuries against larger (or smaller) targets or against nonhumanoid ones. The table says its geared for man-sized.

I've always just winged it as instances come up. Keeping additional EN damage but ignoring some details (a human crushing the collar bone of an upright and active giant for instance).

Anybody else come up with any creative tables/rules to handle such circumstances?

Ted

see reply in DQ rules, probably best to limit discussion to one group

One of our local DQ players is heading off to Melbourne in a week or
two for an indefinate period, and he was wondering if there are any
DQ players he could link up with with while he was over there.

Thanks

I'm Melbourne based.  More than happy to have another player. 

In that case, I'll pass on your e-mail to the player concerned and let him sort things out with you.

Thanks,

Keith

I've uploaded a new version of my mini adventure, Assault At The Ogre Camp (abandoned mining camp and palisade) in the Files section under the Adventures folder.

This mini adventure contains ideas and structure for a GM to adjust and add their own encounter detail as necessary. It is presented here as an idea generator for tailoring into an existing campaign.

Enjoy!

very nicely presented
 
looks very much like a D&D 4th edition template style
 
look forward to the next one
 
JohnD

I've only had a chance to glance at this, but nice work. Looks very professional.

What did you use to create this?

Hey Guys,

I've decided to part with one of my collector's copies of DQ Adventure 3 - The Enchanted Wood.

Find it here...
http://shop.ebay.com/merchant/c-picard

Item is in US, but will ship worldwide.

Thanks!

Beautiful job! I haven't had a chance to read through the actual adventure yet, but the production values and layout are top-notch.

Chello!

Yes, very nice. Really like the format!

Tony

Many thanks for the responses.

The layout was produced using QuarkXpress and the map was created in Dundjinni then tweaked a bit in Photoshop.

It was built with a nod to the newer D&D style and format of adventures produced in Dungeon magazine.

Ok I did track down that the DQ city book hadn't even been started, so new material will ever come of that avenue. In an interesting bit of news, Midkemia Press was going to be working on that DQ book.

As long as your not taking credit for it as your own (which your
obviously not) or you were told not to share it, then I see no problem
at all with sharing it with the community.

I also wouldn't mind seeing a copy of the 4 classes as well if you
wouldn't mind sending them my way as well.

I would greatly appreciate it.

Based on the number of "Me Too" responses, might be easier to put it in the dqn-list files section, if it's small enough and in electronic format.

I can put it there if 'net connectivity is a problem on your end and it's in a small enough electronic format....

That is ok with me.

I'm sorry my post was unclear. I have been trying to track down the original playtest material. I have tracked down that the original DQ city project (mentioned in Ares magazine) was assigned to Midkemia Press. Sadly the project hadn't been started when SPI went under, and so there was no new material to be had. --- On Thu, 5/28/09, Jeffery K. McGonagill <igmod@comcast.net> wrote: From: Jeffery K.

Has anyone had any luck using a virtual tabletop to play DQ online? I have looked around, but can't seem to find any that use a hex board. All of the programs that I have encountered use a square grid. I am just curious if anyone has found anything useful. I am reluctant to spend money on something that may not even work. Thank you.

Steve

Had a question come up the other day regarding spellcasters and learning spells.

The rules state that an adept must learn new spells from a fellow adept who knows it.

The question was from somebody who wanted to record their spells in a book so that if they were to backfire horribly and lose MA ( and therefore some spells in this case) they could relearn them from their spell book.

Has anyone else handled this any differently than just using the rules as stated? My logical assumption is that spells are recorded someplace and it is possible to learn them from a book if available (although I would probably make it more difficult than having an adept teach it). This may start to step into the realm of 92. Magical Research and Spell Construction (Arcane Wisdom)...

Any thoughts or insight?

Ted

Try "Aide de Camp". It is not an "online" system but a tool for playing PBEM tabletop games.
You design the map and the counters, and may plot the movements and actions of them. The map can be defined as squares or hexagons.

This is the site address:

Everyone will have their own opinion of course, but I've been using VTT's for quite a few years now and I think hands down the best program out there is MapTool. It's probably the most actively worked on as well as having by far the most features. If your willing to spend the time (something I haven't done yet) you can basically program the entire ruleset into the program. If there is a specific feature you would like to see, it's very likely you can get it added, especially if it's something multiple people would benefit from. Best of all, it's free!! Oh, it does a Hex Grid as well. You can find it at:

http://rptools.net/doku.php?

That said, as it seems stuff like this always goes, I just tried to go to the MapTool website and I'm getting an error. I'm a frequent visitor there and a user for over a year now and I've never seen that before, so I'm guessing it's just some temporary glitch. Hopefully everything will be back to normal there asap.

Have you tried Battlegrounds RPG? They are quite versatile and I've been using it for my DQ campaign.

Yellow Eagle

Though not specified in any original rule I've ever found, I've always allowed adepts to use their counterspells to cancel the effects of their non-concentration duration spells (which case they can just turn it off by stopping the concentration)

My reasoning on the others is that after non-concentration spells have been cast, forces have been set in motion continue without the interaction of a an adept to maintain or control. Therefore, the adept can't just stop them at will.

How does everyone else handle stopping spells before the duration runs out?

Also in regards to counterspells. There's no mention in the rules about using counterspells against non-college magic. I dont have much of that lined out but there are few non-college specific spells/rituals running around. Seems like they shouldnt be immune to counterspells. Was just going to add another counterspell for those to the namers.

I welcome any thoughts or ideas.

Thanks,
Ted

Honestly, it never came up in any of the games I ran.

Sounds like you have the right idea, although I probably would have
just allow them to cancel the spell.

I have always let the adept cancel the spell at will, it does make thinks simpler, effectively a countespell with 100% success. But now I to come to think of it it could be fun to have a spell that's no longer under the control of the adept

> Also in regards to counterspells. There's no mention in the rules about using counterspells against non-college magic. I dont have much of that lined out but there are few non-college specific spells/rituals running around. Seems like they shouldnt be immune to counterspells. Was just going to add another counterspell for those to the namers.

I treat non-college magic as college magic in this respect My rationale is that the casting adept learns to access the magic in the same way as his college magic. Thus I make adepts learn non-college magic through their college and the counterspell against that college is needed to disrupt it. Effectively each non-college ritual has 12 versions, one for each college all of which have exactly the same effect and parameters

Java-based so you can run it on Windows, MacOS and Linux. Plus the price is right. Free.

I've been using it in our face-to-face group sessions of DQ (and other games) for a couple years now.

I do pretty much what you do.

Any spell that has a duration not controlled by concentration can be canceled by using their counterspells. Also gives them an excuse to use their counterspell once in a while so they can go up in it.

I dont have much of that lined out but there are few non-college specific spells/rituals running around. Seems like they shouldnt be immune to counterspells. Was just going to add another counterspell for those to the namers.

I have given out spells written in books as treasure as it just made sense to me that it would be done once in a while. That it wouldn't always be passed down verbally.

I also made them learns spells in this fashion by attempting to cast it as if it was rank 0. They could only try once per day and backfires were of course possible. I did allow Ritual of Purification and Ritual of Spell Preparation to be used.

My logical assumption is that spells are recorded someplace and it is possible to learn them from a book if available (although I would probably make it more difficult than having an adept teach it). This may start to step into the realm of 92. Magical Research and Spell Construction (Arcane Wisdom)...

I have dragonquest 3rd edition and I have two questions I wish to ask
about raising abilitys. A party of adventurers returns to town for training, my questions are.

1. Can an ability be trained more than 1 rank in a training session provided all the requirements are met for the training, these requirements being. Having used the ability during the adventure, and having sufficient experience, time, and money?

2.It states that you can practice up to two weapons, skills, and spells at a time, now does this mean that after you have trained two abilitys,
such two spells that you are unable to train two different spells if you
have sufficient experience, time, and money?

Given sufficient time money and experience you can raise all skills/spells
that qualify up one rank between adventures.
