D&D for the rest of us
With Players Handbook II coming out this week, I would be excited to actually play D&D.  Currently I am running an online game on Facebook, but like many DM's I am not actually playing in any games.  I would like to start here in Livejournal a Forgotten Realms game using all the 4th Edition books out to date (once the PHBII comes out)  The game will be "Open Table" which means no-DM, we will use a FR Adventure out of the box "Sceptre of Spellgard" and run it open book.  We can use Invisible Castle for open rolling and Flickr for maps.  I would like to have 5-6 players, priority (if necessary) given to those who are DM'ing a game currently (to give them a chance to play too!)

Let me know if you are interested and I will add you to the new LJ Community.

I invited you to the community, check you Communities in LJ, but so far we are only at 4 people, which might be doable.

I am tentatively interested. I say tentatively because I have no idea how a game like that would work without a DM.

No DM

Think of it as the rotating Dungeon Master option in the DMG, but since it is slow and online, anyone can step in as the DM when needed. We are all adults and most of us know the rules and stats of monsters well enough that there aren't any "secrets" like that. Adventures (modules) are preset anyway, so creativity from the NPC side is already there, only downside being no surprises (and maybe trap or secret door encounters)
