Hello And Welcome to Izzy's D&D for Sleeper's forums Tutorial. This tutorial is a simplified version of the old Classic D&D rule book set for players and DM (Dungeon Master). A Sleeper's Forum DM is the all powerful creator / narrator of the world the players are going to experience.(Sucks for you that I spell like crap). The Players of the game have a set of rules or guidelines needed to keep the game Somewhat realistically grounded and at the same time bound by chance. The DM on the other hand is not so confined by such rules so long as they are bent for the entertainment, challenge and only for the overall benefit of the players. As a Sleeper's Forum D&D player you will have to choose the class, sex, age and Being! of the character you are going to play. These characters will all have different types of restrictions and enhancements based on the choices made by the player. Classes: Human Male: Has the ability to modify his character stats to that of of a male player. Human Female: Has the ability to modify her character stats to that of a female player. Plus has a +2 whacking stick against Izzys. Spirit Guide: Ability to choose both male and female cores, ability to be human on command so long as true identity is not reviled, Ability to use psychic suggestions, telekinetic powers and able to manifest what ever it wants in other's dreams. Only one Spirit guide class per every human character played. A John Lear: Reserved for John Lear only, he may choose his abilities A Milton: Reserved only for Sleeper, DM ability while playing. If you would like to play please feel free to apply on this thread, Choose your class and apply your own age and strengths and weaknesses if human. Once humans are available and you have chosen guides try to make them resemble yourself a bit. Example: (Player: Izarith Character Name: Gerald. Class: Human Male Strength: Ranting Weakness: Not Ranting)DM will provide mostly narrations of What is happening in the world with drawings and pictures during crucial event's in the game. Players actions in the game will be narrated back to DM and approved at the DM's discretion. All Player characters have fee will that can not be tampered with by the DM. More rules may develoup as I get a hang of what I'm doing here. All questions, requests, spelling suggestions.....*facepalm*, complaints or arguments can go on this thread. Game will be played on board thread. Once enough players have applied, the game can begin!! [glow=red,2,300]SING UP NOW!![/glow]

Hi Izzy, I want to sign up, but I'm still thinking about my character, I may be some time. I've never played DnD before, I've got no idea what to expect, nor do I know what I am doing, but the fact that I get a whacking stick capable of seeking out and destroying all Izzys is cool. Yeah, I know I made that last bit up about seeking out and destroying, but I'm just using my imagination.

Player: Eevee Character Name: Eevee Class: Human Female Strength: Skillful and accurate use of whacking stick, good imagination. Weakness: None
I'm not sure if I'll get away with having no weaknesses, but it's got to be worth a try. ;D

Hopefully some one will step in if they feel like it. I'm putting the game together now. I'm trying to make it an initial video start to the game so more people will join. ;D I'm sure you will like it I just hope I can keep it not to scary for you all. It will be fun. might take me a day or two. Just hang in there.

I have to amend something about the rules.
Questions about the game can go on this thread but in game questions can go on the game thread.
Like for example you can ask on the game thread. Is the room well lit or is it dark? Where is the light coming from? How deep is the pool or water?
Any question you might imagine yourself asking if you were put in that situation can be asked in the game thread.
Tommy in the game you can choose to do what ever you want. But you can't create the story that's the DM's job. When I ask you what you do just tell me what you would do in that situation. You can analyze, think, jump up and down, go back to sleep if you can. But Eevees stick only gives you an electric shock if the DM says it does after you have said you have grabbed it.
To grab the sleeping woman's stick you would have to first walk over to to her if you can, then grab it.

No you didn't mess anything up Eevee. We are all just learning how to play. I forgot to say allot of things about the room to. Like the lighting and some other stuff. We will get the hang of it. ;D

Yeah I know what you mean about the tutorial. It is really thin.
But I have never done this before so you guys are my guinea pigs. ;D.
So don't worry about anything and just play.
We will all learn as we go.
Plus I'm usually a Player and have only DM'ed once. So I'm totally new to what I'm doing too.
I imagine things will get much better as we go along. And sorry in advance for the rule changes, amendments and adding I might be making in the future.
And if any of the players have any problems with the rules or want me to try something else feel free to tell me.
