Hey! I'm curious how many of you were drawn to Ashes by it's fantasy tags that seem to have some references to one of the most popular franchises in rpg history.

(even I believe Steven offered to host a dnd session based in Verra?)

I'm a DM, and a player in current campaigns and I'm wondering how many of you guys would just love for Steven to release an official module for the world of Verra setting? I know I would LOVE it.

    Have you wanted to play? Or just found it as one of those "I'd rather watch than play." activities? There is MANy good story videos, and if your looking for some more recent ones I would 100% suggest the youtuber Dingo Doodles, she has a 6 part series on one of her campaigns and it is a.. it's a trip.

    I saw a few of her videos, puffin forest and subbed 4chan ones are also good, I never really wanted to play so much. It's kind of I would but I don't need to c:

    @autumnleaf I would tell you to check out the reddit thread /r/lfg, or the dnd reddit threads. You can find many wonderful groups looking for new or experienced players to play together. If I ever have slots open at my (virtual) tables I'll give you a message as well.

    it's all good c: where I work we have a group playing the Warhammer tabletop and they are really chill about others playing, I just know I won't have the time for it too xD

    @autumnleaf Understandable, a big portion of my time spent these days goes to dnd.
    I'm in a 3-4 hour session as a player on fridays, a new session as a player starting up on saturdays, and a dm for a 8 hour session (average) on sundays. My life belongs to the dice.

    you could probably find a bi weekly or monthly campaign if you ever find the freetime though.

    It's an addiction I don't want to get, games and painting is enough. I know all too well how hard it is to stop once you start xD

    I am a DM myself. I host my P&P sessions every second month cause i write my adventure's myself.
    Not playing dnd or dsa anymore cause the ruleset feels to restricing. I switched to How to be a Hero, a ruleset created from a german guy wich is functional but very easy to understand and play.
    If someone writes a adventure in Verra it could be nice to have it simple as possible so as many poeple as possible could have fun with it.
  • Faeri PinkettFaeri Pinkett Member, Braver of Worlds, Kickstarter, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    @Esthon while i'm still struggling to understand 5e, simple sometimes to be too much pressure on the GM/DM when it comes to players asking what their able to do. 5e is relatively simplified. :) I've never heard of how to be a hero though. So maybe it handles it well.

    @Fairypinkett How to be a Hero was developt by Hauke Gerdes for the german internet television channel Rocket Beans TV.
    Its not as rule driven as the other P&P rulesets, its all about having fun.
    The core of the ruleset is that you get some points that you then distribute on single abilitys between 1-100 and the dice's used are d100.
    So the outcome of your dice throws are simple percent throws.

    Oh okay! I'll check it out sometime. :)

    With DnD the Sky is the Limit... Really creative people take the reigns on it, and DM's are amazing.
    I only have a year of DnD under my belt @_ @ But more to come.

    I used to love DnD when I was younger. Even though I do not play anymore, I still enjoy reading the fantasy books and playing games based on the rules. ( Currently playing NeverWinter Nights Enhanced on a Nordock server )

    Game for fun, not for life <3

    Never did like DnD much but many people I play MTG with on the ship use it to pass the time. Better for me to watch than play.

    I've never played but i have watched a good deal of DnD sessions on YouTube. I'm a fan in that regard. I'm definitely looking forward to the DnD/Pathfinder Session in the future though! =)
  • nick10281nick10281 Member, Alpha Two
    I can see it now. A few players ingame sitting at a table playing DnD rather than doing a Dungeon raid.
  • Faeri PinkettFaeri Pinkett Member, Braver of Worlds, Kickstarter, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    @nick10281 honestly, that sounds like an amazing pass-time.
    Since table-games and interactions will be a thing, maybe Steven will just straight up add in the Verra dnd module into the game. Players can play dnd.. while in a rpg. :D

    My friend saw the game on KS and was like "it will be too much like ArcheA..."

    I watched the video and fell for the pitch. This will be the first MMO I will ever put more than 4 hours into.

    Also, I am an avid D&D player and have already started planning ending a campaign by time Ashes goes live so I can have my Saturday nights back.

    1st Ed. vet here. Just need to set aside some evening time and find a group. Probably a RL one once the move happens later this year.

    I've really enjoyed my time with D&D5e I'm a fan. Been playing it for about a year now, twice weekly.
  • Faeri PinkettFaeri Pinkett Member, Braver of Worlds, Kickstarter, Alpha One, Alpha Two, Early Alpha Two
    @Zomnivore If I could have multiple sessions a day, I would have multiple. Instead i'm stuck with just 3 times a week. :(

    What're your current characters? Mine is a Barbarian Princess and a Necromancer old lady stuck in a young girls body because she fucked up while trying to obtain immortality. Now she's trying to become a lich.
