In October, I ran a one-shot D&D game for a great big gang of internet people via Google Hangouts. We called it D&DLLOWEEN<\/em> and it was a ton of fun.<\/p>\n

Pretty soon I am going to run another one-shot D&D game for a great big gang of internet people via Google Hangouts, and it will be called THRILLING PIRACY<\/em>.<\/p>\n

In the\u00a0Pythenic Ocean,<\/h2>\n

living people are second-class citizens. Queen Noumenia the Infinite, an ancient lich, prefers for all her subjects to be undead. A spell cast over the entire ocean\u00a0causes any who die within its borders to immediately revive as some sort of unholy zombie\u00a0or ghost or suchlike.<\/p>\n

Captain Jack Hock of the\u00a0Expertly<\/em> is an alive person, a swashbuckling force of outlaw justice on the Pythenic seas. His crew is on a quest to find a mysterious\u00a0treasure that\u00a0supposedly<\/em> will weaken Noumenia’s dominion\u2014but they are hounded at every turn by\u00a0Captain Laphria of Her Majesty’s Navy, who seeks to claim the same treasure for the Queen. Captain Laphria is a skeleton.<\/p>\n

As far as scheduling:<\/h2>\n

There will be two sessions, on the evenings of April 1 and April 2, beginning at 8 PM Central.<\/p>\n

If you are interested,<\/h2>\n

you should\u00a0email me<\/a>. When the event gets a little closer, I’ll start figuring out who is playing when. After that’s straightened out, I’ll email you an extremely brief preparatory questionnaire and we’ll figure out the character you’re playing.<\/p>\n

You can play with us even if you’ve never played Dungeons and Dragons before.<\/h2>\n

I’ve generated characters for all levels of D&D expertise. It’s very very helpful if you can at least check out the basic rules<\/a>\u00a0ahead of time, but the main principles are A) play along and B) when instructed, type “\/roll d20+whatever” into the thingy.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, if you are a 5th Edition expert, you may want to run one of the full caster\u2014or even put together your own character, if you\u00a0have an idea for a piratical PC.<\/p>\n

The characters that I have prepared are these:<\/h2>\n

“Bobo,” a rapier-wielding swashbuckler type with horns<\/p>\n

“Coco,” a navigator who draws eldritch power from the stars<\/p>\n

“Dodo,” a large parrot<\/p>\n

“Fofo,” a kuo-toa cleric of Blibdoolpoolp<\/p>\n

“Gogo,”\u00a0who wields power over the weather<\/p>\n

“Hoho,” a halfling with guns<\/p>\n

“Jojo,” a half-orc who\u00a0hits people with an anchor<\/p>\n

“Koko,” a tattooed gnome barbarian<\/p>\n

“Lolo,” a silent zen type<\/p>\n

“Momo,” a dwarf with a harpoon<\/p>\n

“Nono,” a giant crab<\/p>\n

I have given the characters stupid names in order to encourage you to give your character a better name.<\/p>\n

What else?<\/h2>\n

I can’t think of anything else at the moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
