Legends of GitP 5e Game
It seems like these unprecedented times have presented a unique opportunity to set up an online game using a VTT. Based on forum comments, who would your “dream team” of four PCs and a DM be, selected from among the GitP regulars, to watch a streamed game of D&D?
Note that I have no actual plans to set a game up, it’s just a thought exercise.
Here are my votes:
DM: Tanarii
Players: Segev, mgshamster, Man Over Game, Kryx (sp?)

2d8HP might not be a player, but he should definitely feature at some point.

Better yet, two parties of GitP regulars with a common DM and co-DM, plus cameos!

Re: Legends of GitP 5e Game
No self pick are there?
Becasue as a DM, I'd love to have an IRL game with
Tanarii, JNAProductions, Segev, & Quietus as my players
If it's just for watching... I may need to think a while before making an answer... so many choices

Re: Legends of GitP 5e Game
I want Malifice as the DM (sorry to see that he's under a ban at the moment)
Players: 2d8HP, Ninja Prawn, Tanarii, Sigreid, me, and our "always a dwarf" poster whose name I need to go and find again. Have not seen him lately; he's real old school.
Yes, I am being totally selfish.
I'd also like to play with Willie the Duck, Pex, Max Wilson ... heck, most of you would be great to play with at table.

Re: Legends of GitP 5e Game
I made someone's list? I am honored and humbled!
Me personally, I'm not sure who I would want to see - there are honestly so many excellent people on the forum, but I've never considered who I think would be more fun to watch game. If anything, I'm pretty greedy and would probably want to see a Westmarches style game with a rotating cast and multiple DMs. But, you know, that's definitely cheating.Pokemon friend code : 3067-5701-8746

Re: Legends of GitP 5e Game
You're awesome, BurgerBeast. Appreciate you, man!
For me, I'd have to include Tawmis and Molemage. Both work hard to contribute to this community, more than most, and I couldn't wait to see that same ethic at a table. Bjarkmundur isn't around anymore, but he was sensible, earnest, hard to disagree with, a natural Paladin without the obnoxious "I know better than you" negativity. And even though MaxWilson and I have sometimes butt heads on stuff, he's always been very reasonable, and having someone who was vocal about disagreeing without trying to tilt the table is a very welcome thing. And I can't forget KOLE, Vogie, and of course BurgerBeast, but I'll just keep going on and on, so...That's my list.

Re: Legends of GitP 5e Game
My selection criteria was: posters who have expressed opinions different to my own, but have been open to healthy discussion, didn't dig their heels in, and communicated back and forth to understand others' opinions while explaining their own.
Essentially I'd want a player pool that thinks differently enough from me so I cannot predict them, but respond to challenges and disagreements in a way that doesn't kill the fun.
If i were a player alongside the posters, that list would be turn on its head with a different selection:
Any 3 of Luccan, Dork Forge, BurgerBeast, or Man_Over_Game as fellow players, I think I could easily get along with them as a team.
MaxWilson as DM, maybe? They seem savvy enough to work a decent narrative.
Now as for a game I had no part playing in and was just watching...
JackPhoenix for DM for their clear non-nonsense stance on RAW.
Pex, zinycor, Chaosmancer, and Talakeal for players.
I don't know what would happen with that combination, and that's precisely why I'd want to watch. From reading their posts I have been curious on how their games run, as their styles have sounded different enough to my experiences to feel it'd be worth a watch.
Now if only someone thought I was interesting enough to have on their listLast edited by Zhorn; 2020-06-30 at 11:29 AM.

Re: Legends of GitP 5e Game
I'll echo those who say that, by and large, I'd be quite happy to play with y'all. This is a good community-yes, I disagree with some of you, and there are some jerks, but the disagreements are usually civil and the jerks are few and far between.

Re: Legends of GitP 5e Game
I wouldn't want to DM for anyone here, as I wouldn't be able to mine the forum for ideas anymore. It's nothing personal.
I feel like every member should feature at some point as an NPC. If you want to be extra, they appear as their avatars. It would certainly make for an interesting cast.
And you would have to reference OotS at every possible opportunity.

Re: Legends of GitP 5e Game
Great suggestion!
Players: [...]mgshamster[...]
I've seen @mgshamster in PbP action, and he is really good!
Thanks @JNAProductions and @KorvinStarmast, you're both very kind.
Ninja Prawn, Tanarii, Sigreid, me,
Good suggestions all!
and our "always a dwarf" poster whose name I need to go and find again. Have not seen him lately; he's real old school[...]
I'm guessing that you're thinking of "BRING BACK ALIGNMENT LANGUAGES!!!" @Klorox?
Yeah, he'd be a good choice.
[...]I'd also like to play with Willie the Duck, Pex, Max Wilson ... heck, most of you would be great to play with at table.
Glen Smash, Unoriginal, the list goes on and on ...
Very true!
[unmentionable name might be amusing for a few minutes at the table !
But I imagine that after the dozenth time of the DM saying "Let me think about that for a minute before I respond to that...
...Oh, HELL NO!!! it would become tiresome and wear thin.
But I'd be very surprised if he took me up on my standard [i]"If you want me to DM all PC's are half-elf, half-orc, or human, multiclassing is allowed but other than a third level Arcane Trickster, Eldrich Knight, andPaladin PC's may only get Champion Fighter, Swashbuckler Rogue, and Thief Rogue class levels beyond second level, plus one other class that's limited to two levels, you may be a Druid/Fighter/Rogue, Wizard/Fighter/Rogue, et cetera, but you may not be a Druid/Wizard/etc cetera because headache that's why! Britain, France, Ireland, and Spain, plus parts of Germany and North Africa exist, are roughly like those historical places and your PC's may come from there, everywhere else is 'Faerie/There be Dragons' and not historical, yes you start in a tavern, look maybe you want to DM instead/i]?"
That's a lot of name level NPC's! Maybe in taverns telling tales of their adventures?

Re: Legends of GitP 5e Game
I'd definitely want MaxWilson for DM because I quite love what he's told about the set of houserules he's using and I'd be thrilled to see how it all works out in practice. Some personalities I'd be interested to see more in game would be patchyman, Moreb Benkh, ezekielraiden, etc. (the list would go on forever but those are few names I feel haven't been mentioned here) admittedly on the back of their extremely reasonable and articulate contributions to few recent threads, particularly the Martial one. People capable of producing posts of that quality would most likely also be able to express themselves, their desires, and their goals well in designing the game and thus make for an agreeable environment where a clear social contract could be articulated and everyone would be heard. They all also feel like extremely reasonable people; not sure about their thespian gifts since this is a poor medium for judging those but I'm sure they'd be able to produce a rather immersive experience.
Of course, there are lots, lots, lots of great posters on these forums and this sort of a post would never be complete no matter how long I spent writing it. I'd echo many of the names already posted in this thread but given said names have already been posted, I feel like that might not be necessary at this point. Suffice to say, users who have posted in this thread would all probably be on the list of players I'd love to watch play or play with myself.Campaign Journal: Uncovering the Lost World - A Player's Diary in Low-Magic D&D (Latest Update: 8.3.2014)

Re: Legends of GitP 5e Game
It's really hard to tell someone's playing style from their posting style, so take what I say here with a grain of salt and I'm probably overlooking some folks, but I feel like I'd enjoy watching or playing in a game where:
Knaight is the DM (seems to have a solid grasp of a variety of different game designs, and I expect I'd learn a lot from watching),
Merudo is a player (some really unique and interesting mechanical ideas, lots of creativity)
LudicSavant is a player (really great and cooperative attitude, also excellent rules knowledge and computational skills)
Korvin Starmast is a player (old school sensibilities, seems likely to be fun to roleplay with)
Willie the Duck is a player (grognards FTW, and he's usually pretty level-headed)
and I'm a player (because watching people play is less fun than playing with them).
Five players is a lot but I expect Knaight can handle it. : )

EDIT: Since the O.P. says I'm only supposed to have four players + one DM, I'd want to limit it by generational integration, so at least one other fellow 50+ codger (who are much of my list), at least one 30 to 50 years old codger-in-training (who are most of my list), and at least one sub 30 youngster (anyone?).
And that's all four!Last edited by 2D8HP; 2020-06-30 at 04:18 PM.

Re: Legends of GitP 5e Game
DM candidates
LudicSavant: takes lore and tactics seriously, great to talk with
MaxWilson: CaW player with a deep understanding of encounter design
Kryx: and maybe a bunch of his house rules; some of his campaign and encounter designs have been off the hook
Players
lollerabe: fall of your chair fun to play with - makes custom songs, new voices etc.
KorvinStormast: descriptions over mechanics; old school DnD flavour
Moreb Benhk
ezekielraiden: I have liked most posts by ezekielraiden
Eldariel: much the same type of positive impression as ezekielraiden
...
me: I really want to be a part of this group
I would also feel comfortable playing with the above in new systems or in their home-brewed systems.Last edited by Skylivedk; 2020-06-30 at 03:36 PM.
I might attack your points aggressively: nothing personal. If I call out a fallacy in your argumentation, it doesn't mean I think you are arguing in bad faith. I invite you to call out if I somehow fail to live by the Twelve Virtues of Rationality.
My favourite D&D session had 3 dice rolls. I'm currently curious to any system that has a higher amount of choices in and out of combat than 5e from the beginning of the game; especially for non-spellcasters. Please PM any recommendations.

Re: Legends of GitP 5e Game
FWIW, when I saw on the main screen that the most recent poster to this thread was Wizard_Lizard, I had positive mental associations with that name. I believe you must have said insightful things in other threads for me to feel that way. Off the top of my head I don't remember what kind of game you run but I for one would be happy to play with you and see what your game is like.

Re: Legends of GitP 5e Game
There's far too many for a single party but I'd definitely want to be in a homebrew testing group with the likes of Moxxmix, Man_Over_Game, Grod_The_Giant, Kryx, Segev, SpawnofMorbo, KorvinStarmast, Amechra, Chaosmancer...
