House Rules Documents: Freestone - Our store's 4th edition launch campaign.
This is an open, real-time game. In other words, show up to play whenever
you, and feel free to skip a night. The game's timeline will continue
whether you're here or not, with one week real-time being equivalent
to one 10-day game time. Undermountain - Our goal is to create a forum for
new or inexperienced gamers to learn more about role-playing. We want
to run a public D&D game that is open to everyone, but where the
target audience is beginning gamers. We recognize the insular nature
of the gaming community and we want to actively work towards opening
our community to new people. Character Dueling - Our goal is to create a forum
for gamers to learn more about the rules of the game and the resources
available to play the game. We want everyone to become more familiar
and comfortable with the rules of Dungeons and Dragons. |
What is a Roleplaying Game? - A type of game in which the participants assume the roles of fictional characters and collaboratively create or follow stories. Participants determine the actions of their characters based on their characterization, and the actions succeed or fail according to a formal system of rules and guidelines. Within the rules, players can improvise freely; their choices shape the direction and outcome of the games. A role-playing game rarely has winners or losers. That makes role-playing games fundamentally different from board games, card games, sports and most other types of games. What is Dungeons and Dragons? - D&D is a hgih-fantasy roleplaying game. You'll find evil wizards, powerful priests, ancient ruins, world-shattering events, and, of course, dragons. Read all about it on the official WotC Web Site. What Dungeons and Dragons Products do we carry? - We carry a
full line of Wizards of the Coast D&D products, including books
for the Faerûn and Eberron campaign settings. We also carry a
select line of D20 supplements. fully compatible with D&D, including
the Sword and Srocery Line, World of Warcraft, Iron Kingdoms, Star Wars,
D20 Modern, and more. What do I need to play? - Each player in a game needs access to the core rules, presented in the Player's Handbook, and a set of dice. One person, the DM, needs access to the Dungeon Master's Guide and Monster Manual (these books provide the "behind the scenes" rules). Players will also need a set of dice, a pad of paper, a pen or pencil, and imagination. What kind of dice do I need? - You need a D20 dice set, which consists of a D4 (abrreviated for a four-sided die), D6, D8, D10, D% (used with the D10 to roll a percentage), D12, and D20. These dice are available individually or as sets. These dice can be made out of many materials, from simple plastic to such exotic things as bone, or even meteorites! This is what a set of dice looks like.
