sup Holla Forums /tg/ and /vr/? it's time to take a journey into 1st edition Forgotten Realms on your Personal Computer

So I'm going to be running through these ancient masterpieces of the late 80s/early 90s, but all the decisions will be made by the thread. First thing we are going to do is make characters.

Our party can have 6 characters. I will take 2 from each board.
Post a name, race, alignment and class. The best digits will decide what gets used.

Races:

Human
can be Fighter, Thief, Ranger, Cleric, Mage, or Thief
can dual class later
unlimited level advancement

Dwarf
can be Fighter, Thief, Fighter/Thief
level cap Fighter 7 Thief unlimited

Elf
can be Fighter, Mage, Thief, Fighter/Mage, Fighter/Thief, Mage/Thief, Fighter/Mage/Thief
level cap Fighter 5 Mage 9 Thief unlimited

Gnome
can be Fighter, Thief, Fighter/Thief
level cap Fighter 5 Thief unlimited

Half-Elf
can be Cleric, Fighter, Ranger, Mage, Thief, Cleric/Fighter, Cleric/Mage, Fighter/Mage, Fighter/Thief, Mage/Thief, Cleric/Fighter/Mage, Fighter/Mage/Thief
level cap Cleric 5 Fighter 6 Ranger 6 Mage 6 Theif unlimited

Halfling
can be Fighter, Thief, Fighter/Thief
level cap Fighter 4 Thief unlimited

Paladins must be LG, Rangers *G, Thieves NG, *N, *E

>>>/vr/5614

Human Paladin named Roland.

Human LG Magic-User named Rin.

No Monks?

Chaotic neutral dwarf fighter called "Bundo"
why this level cap thing?

seconding this

seconding

LE Gnome thief named (((Mordecai))), complete with the ((())).

Human Fighter called Jimenez. CN.

ok no activity in the other threads I'll just use this oneā€¦

We start with some credits

This is what old school DRM was

The game came with this fun little thing, which both served as copy protection and had some in game functions. But you could also use it just to learn some cool dwarven and elvish letters for fun and write cryptic messages to your friends.

We line up the runes and solve for the secret word

level caps were a thing in early D&D so non humans who lived forever compared to humans wouldnt completely dominate the world

...

and, from /vr/

But op, everybody knows that d&d pc rpgs didn't exist until the masterpieces that were bladder's gates.

I'm surprised you could fit all that for (((Mordecai))).

That's actually pretty balanced. Aside from the fact that we have no healers.

Healers are for pussies unless your playing Might and Magic.

What about /tg/'s characters?

I'm monitoring this shit so hard.

WHERE'S THE HEALER OP?

They weren't up when I was doing my chargen, but since we haven't started yet I will incorporate them

enjoy some background lore

Rin and Jiminez confirmed for starters

Bump for awesome.

Are you still doing this OP?

all right here are our confirmed first string characters by way of dubs

and filling out the team

The characters all meet on a boat, having responded to this flyer

This is not Rin.

Also holy shit, what are these insanely high stats on AD&D characters? Nobody has lower than a 10 in anything. Is this the power of 5d6?

Getting off the boat, we are greeted by Rolf who takes us on a tour

The game must be using a method other than 3d6 cause I didn't reroll anything. It also has you pick class and race before rolling stats

...

So the first thing we need to do is buy gear as our characters start with none
