/qt/ - Quest Talk

I've got a lot of free time on my hands and have been missing the good old days. For that reason I'm dusting off an old idea of mine and polishing it up for the people still using Pineapple's site for what it was made for.

Crypt Quest is a dungeon dive that's at least a little bit inspired by Tomb of Horrors, but it's more of a Halloween game than anything else. It's not a clone by any means and will not be featuring what I feel are many of the unfun and unfair traps and deaths, but this dungeon dive isn't going to be safe, either. The dangers will come more from traps than monsters so use your head if you want to keep it. What monsters you do face won't all be pushovers, though.

The general premise of the game is that a group of adventurers has been called to an out of the way town to deal with undead that have been troubling the townsfolk. The party will be sent to investigate the cemetery then descend into a mysterious crypt and deal with whatever evils lurk there. It'll be somewhat on rails, but that's a side effect of there only being so many places to go inside a dungeon. The time period, if that's important, will be a few hundred years after the banishment of Nightmare moon. I don't know how you all handle religion in your games, but we always handled Celestia and Luna as if they were at least somewhat divine.

The rules used for this will be the 3.0 ones found on the cytube. You'll have 7 points to build your character with instead of 5. There won't be any additional splats or anything used for character creation. I want a minimum of four players but I'll see what I can do with fewer or more. I intend to run this game weekly on Sunday or Monday evening at the usual times you cytuber's run your games. If I can get enough players I can start as soon as the 21st. I don't care if you're playing in more than one game at a time, but if you stay silent for too long your turn will be skipped out of fairness to the other players.

If you're interested post a character sheet or a link to your character's pastebin in this thread. If you have any questions leave them here since I probably won't see them in the cytube. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread.
