    Go and buy a book on it, I have 2 but I have never played D&D.  Also this should go under multi-media since its about a game.

    The RP section is for "Role Playing" its not about Role Playing GAMES!

    RE: D&D ((N0N-RPG))

    What do you mean? You want to learn to forum RP or real DnD tabletop RPing?

    RE: D&D ((N0N-RPG))

    I already know how to forumRP. Iv been doing it since before most people here even GOT the internet. What I dont know how how to play Dungeons and Dragons. All that die rolling and piles of stats make no sence to me

    RE: D&D ((N0N-RPG))

    Ah...then yeah, you'll have to get the books and read through em. It's actually straightforeward if you read through the books and play a game or two with someone. You catch on quick when you're playing.

    RE: D&D ((N0N-RPG))

    Ok lemme see if I can do this without props...

    Dice are pretty much everything in DnD, aside from the RPing which doesn't have the dierolls and whatnot. You roll the appropriate die to do just about anything that requires any amount of effort that has a chance for failure. (Pushing an extremely heavy box: strength check, roll a d20 + str modifier. Climb a drainpipe: climb check d20+climb skill+dex mod or something.) Simple enough...you have to play to really start grasping this, I can't explain it much better.

    The stats are reflections of your characters abilities. Strength is how strong he is, dexterity how agile, charisma how charming. These affect how your character is able to interact with the DnD world in which you play. A weak character, for example, couldn't carry a huge load, a character with low charisma couldn't seduce a countess for information...things like that.

    those are really basic explanations, and I could've missed things...someone who plays a lot could you look these over and add on/modify them? But these are the basics Matt...hope it helps.

    RE: D&D ((N0N-RPG))

    So you have to roll dice for everything you do?

    RE: D&D ((N0N-RPG))

    Yep, and you even have to roll for stuff you're not really "doing" like armor checks, stealth checks, listening checks, and much more.

    RE: D&D ((N0N-RPG))

    RE: D&D ((N0N-RPG))

    Well, firts they get a chance to notice you so they get a roll for that, then they have a chance to catch themselves before they fall, then they have a chance to take you down with them(i.e. grab your shirt), and then they might be angry enough to start beating the living crap outa you(combat rolls), then if you are just above stairs and they fall down those stairs they suffer damage(sometimes they die, some times they don't, the higher the stairs, the more likely a chance they die I believe.)

    RE: D&D ((N0N-RPG))

    so just to trip someone up you have to roll the dice about 6 times?

    RE: D&D ((N0N-RPG))

    In all honesty it depends on your GM(game master) who playes all the events/monsters/npcs.  Some play that way, others don't.
