So, I have cancelled my WoW account.
I decided that I just couldn't be bothered.
The hours it took here and there could be better spent, and I really don't want to spend an entire Saturday here and there playing WoW. I'd rather spend it in the gym or playing something equally geeky: AD&D

It would appear that plans are afoot and it will be:
blakeshell Gamesmaster
mr_eleganza - Norse Battlemage (Wow, what a surprise)
britalian - Elf rogue, warrior or both
himal - Who knows what he will be...
WINOLJ="Barbara" - Animist Elf (Whatever that is. I think it's some sort of gypsy/hippie)

Yay, I'm suddenly 15 again :)

My favourite MMPORPG is called "LiveJournal." It's very popular and you can actually get laid from it.

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

As opposed to traditional MMPORPG's where you can at most get a wedgie :)
Not that I have ever achived that, but then again, you're quite clearly a level 25 Tinterweb user where I'm quite cleary not :)

[reddragdiva]

Is there a guide to WoW levels? I should write teh intarwebs equivalent.

(Level 25: I start using Usenet in 1988. I have six or seven distinct groups of Net contacts. I have met almost everyone I've slept with since 1995 online. I get high-quality web hosting free. I get admin on most sites I hang around long enough. I get my tech support by asking on my LiveJournal.)

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

I don't know of any level guide as such.
I was actually thinking of AD&D levels.

I think I shall have to revises my guesstimate and say that you're approaching level 40... :)
/me bows reverently...

Note the RL/Online realty reversal. Levels are meaningless: in gaming terms, this isn't a 'character', it's an NPC Deity with published Special Rules.

NPC Deity with published Special Rules.

That would certainly explain a lot.
It also seems quite feasible...

[reddragdiva]

WE CONTROL THE HORIZONTAL. WE CONTROL THE VERTICAL.

nice ass.
Is that you naked in the other pic?

[reddragdiva]

Thank you! And no, per the name of the icon it's Alison Whyte, an Australian TV actress and very luscious skinny redhead.

Which version of the rules are you using?

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

I believe it will be 3rd edition.

[the-elephant.livejournal.com]

3.0 or 3.5? Or, as the detractors call it, 2000ed or 3.11ed for workgroups?

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

No idea.
You would have to ask blakeshell.
I haven't played AD&D since '95 so I don't know anything about such matters...

[blakeshell.livejournal.com]

argh! did they "update" the rules again? well my books all date from several years ago and I am saved if I am goint to go out and replace them again!

[the-elephant.livejournal.com]

3.0 was released in 2000, IIRC, and 3.5 was released in mid-2003. The updates are good, but it DID look like a blatant cash grab by WOTC.

None of this really mattered to me as I purchased my first D&D rulebooks in early 2004!

[nibber.livejournal.com]

are you coming drinking tonight?

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

Sadly I can't tonight.
Other plans already made...

[britalian.livejournal.com]

Oh, my god! Back to the good ol' times when we spent days playing D&D, forgetting to eat, sleep or maintain even the basic standards of hygiene, surviving on booze, cigarettes and the occasional spliff.

I can't wait to start!

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

Yeah, those days :)
It'll be glorious...

[blakeshell.livejournal.com]

oh, right. that was you! Good I thought you had been silent the whole time. I have the Fighters handbook and you are welcome to photocopies of anything you think is useful.

[elijahtc.livejournal.com]

Its my special secret that once or twice when I go up to visit my friends in Lincolnshire I actually play 3rd ed :)

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

Geek!

[elijahtc.livejournal.com]

I've actually been toying with the idea of posting enormous technical accounting LJ posts in revenge for all the IT ones on LJ. I can geek with the best of you :)

[lpetersson.livejournal.com]

Go on, do it :)

[himal.livejournal.com]

I'm going to be playing the avatar of Thor, here's a quick run down of my stats:

lvl 40 (Fighter 20, Barbarian 10, Cleric 10)

Str: 45
Dex: 21
Con: 35
Wis: 23
Int: 24
Cha: 38

HP: 1250

AC: 45

+10 Mighty Lightning Hammer of Vengeance (with the ability to use a 6D20 + 25 damage deadly lightning strike 5 times a day)

;D

Sad thing is, he will have no limbs, including the head. So he will have no way of interacting with the universe. His torso will be extreamly hard to hit and take a long time to kill though ;) You might want to nick his hammer though.
