Hi Thomas, I am not sure where to find anything like that which is accesible on the web. If I remember right, There is an introductory box set that is geared for exactly what you are talking about. You would have to scan in the two booklets however. It has pre made characters and little adventures as well as introductions to leveling up and skill and spell use etc and so forth. It doesn't go into character creation however, which in my opinion is one of the most enjoyable part of any RPG. Perhaps I can write up a basic and simple run thru of all of the basic concepts for you if you want, since I have a lot of free time at the moment. I have been wanting an excuse to go over all of my Dungeons and dragons files and this is a perfect oppurtunity. *smile *
Let me know if you are interested and I will get cracking. It really is no trouble. Just like you can sit up all night programming, I am the same concerning my role playing hobby. PS: I am not sure what you mean concerning the wizards in your example. There is something similar in D&D (Dungeons and Dragons) called specialist wizards. They each focus on a particular Type or school of magic. For example a necromancer or conjurer.They get certain advantages for being a specialist, but a few drawbacks as well. One of the advantages of Dungeons and Dragons is it's ability to be modified. The Dungeons and Dragons rules are actually an overlay on what is called the D20 rule set. This rule set is able to be modified and adjusted to fit all sorts of fantasy, modern, and science fiction environments, including even gothic horror. Once a person has an understanding of the basic rules of D20 (which in case you didn't know is kind of short hand for a twenty sided dice), that person can play any other D20 game. Some of these game worlds are Star wars, call of chtulu( a game based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft), farscape, The wheel of time, superheros, secret spies similar to double O 7, and everything in between. Of course, I am getting ahead of myself. later, Allan From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, January 16, 2006 1:52 PM Subject: Re: audyssey: Roll Playing Games. > Hello, Allan. > thanks for the info.
