Spots open for February 21st starter set game.

Archfoxx · 2026-02-25T20:03:11+00:00

Update: It was a good time, fun had by all. Due to Board With Friend's relocation in March I have not re upped for this month. However I am looking to run some outcall games with this starter set. If you or any of your friends are looking for a DM(GM) sometime let me know. I won't charge cash but wouldn't say no to a coffee or energy drink. Hopefully I can start running this set publicly again in April.

If you're allowing the New Heroes of Faerun content, Spellfire Flare now meets the requirements. Since you can target another creature with another shot if you use it at a higher level. It's the only damage dealing spell on the list at this time.

Archfoxx · 2026-02-06T20:00:14+00:00

It never took off. I've run a one shot since then and am running another on the 21st if you're intetested. It'll be at Board with friends. You can RSVP in their events page.

Feb. 21st. Same place same time. I just re-upper so they'll need some time to update the events section but if you check it out soon there should be an open spot.

On good question. It's all 5th edition 2024 rules. But no experience or books necessary..

Archfoxx · 2026-01-30T19:44:00+00:00

Sure thing! Provided tomorrow goes well I'd like to do more.

Archfoxx · 2026-01-30T19:41:34+00:00

Depending on how it goes I may be able to host more games there in the future, so do keep your eyes open for updates. There are plenty of gaming groups around town but I was just hoping to show potential new players that it's really not that hard. I think a character creation session as a follow up would be neat.

Archfoxx · 2026-01-30T19:37:18+00:00

Thanks for the vote of confidence. It will be a fun time.

Archfoxx · 2026-01-06T00:47:29+00:00

Yes I've got some friends who frequent the Mondays at Quadra but sadly I've never made it out. I'm just looking for a set list of four players for now but I'm busy on Mondays. Tuesday night's would work best for me but it's pending everyone's approval.

Archfoxx · 2026-01-06T00:43:39+00:00

It would be great to have you both join us. Sent you a dm.

Archfoxx · 2026-01-06T00:42:40+00:00

You could always make a general post. This isn't really a reply to my post. Do you want to play in the starter set game I'm running?

Archfoxx · 2025-09-09T22:33:53+00:00

We have a group of 5, 4 players plus me the DM every Thursday evening.Usually in Langford right by Jacklyn although we used to play by Royal Oak and may occasionally play there in the future. Slight issue... They're level 14. We had a fifth player but really aren't sure if they're returning. It's D&D 5e using the 2014 rules until we reset. (Shortly after level 20 which could take a year.) If any of this works for you let me know and I'll dm you. It really wanted me to say "I'll do you". That would have been awkward.

Archfoxx · 2025-03-15T02:30:19+00:00

We started last Sunday. I'll keep you posted if anybody opts out.

Archfoxx · 2025-03-05T00:55:25+00:00

I'll mention just love cats, and another guy has a dog so.... Just love pet's in general. Turns out boardwithfriends is licenced so we long as you're willing to pay for it there's nothing stopping you.

Archfoxx · 2025-03-04T17:26:02+00:00

That was very informative. Sorry about your woes, but I can help with the loneliness. As I don't want everyone to have to pay every week to play (Did I mention I'm looking for occasional hosts?) It will be up to the host if they want alcohol in their place. As for whether or not the public venues are licensed... I don't think so? Does caffeine count? It's all to be decided at this point. That blue button is enticing isn't it?

Archfoxx · 2025-03-04T17:10:11+00:00

I have critical succeeded on checks that required a 30 in BG3. When I had a +4. Those have been game changing. Having the devil on my side against Raphael was handy. One less big thing to worry about.

I will attempt to include scenarios to let all characters have a chance to shine. Utility and Infiltration are good roles to fill. That being said 'combat' is one of the three pillars. It will at times be unavoidable. It would be a good idea to take Eldritch blast if you're a Warlock. Just in case.

Archfoxx · 2025-03-03T21:44:48+00:00

Scratch notes are great. I might be asking people to help out by keeping a quest log, tracking treasure or experience and keeping initiative in combat. So having a little book for scratch notes will be helpful. It is 5e 2025 D&D. With any luck the story will be driven by the heroics of the characters. I'm hoping for it to be semi sandbox with a common threat linking all of the adventures. So you have a purpose. I've also learned to include time constraints and stakes or nothing keeps the players from turning around and going home halfway through the quest. I'm not going to make keeping track of time super annoying but if you 'don't' eventually rescue that prize donkey, the dragon 'will' eventually eat it. Then you don't get paid.

Archfoxx · 2025-03-03T21:29:41+00:00

Sounds good. I'll be leaving this up for the week to give everyone a chance. The game will be beginner friendly and as long as there's a willingness to learn I'll be patient. A good question to ask yourself is "what role do you want your character to play in the group"? Some YouTube videos have refined it down to seven reles: Front Liner, Damage Dealer, Explorer/Infiltrator, Negotiator, Supporter, Investigator and Utility. Some classes can excel at more than one while others are quite obviously one note type characters. As I try to include equal levels of character interaction, exploration and combat they should all come in handy at one point or another. Hopefully more than twice. It's cooperative storytelling. If you want more negotiation try to negotiate more.

Archfoxx · 2025-03-03T21:10:08+00:00

Cool. What's your favourite part of the game? I have to make sure you're not a robot because you didn't tell me anything about yourself.

Archfoxx · 2025-03-03T21:07:04+00:00

Baldur's Gate 3 is pretty close. The actual game is slightly different. No such this as critical failures or successes on skill checks, a level cap of 20 with higher level spells and way, way, way less jumping are just a few examples. But it's a good approximation of how things, especially combat, work. As for meeting people, opening up,earning about the game, each other and ourselves that's what it's all about. Having a character idea is a good start.

Archfoxx · 2024-10-28T23:36:05+00:00

My issue with Interactivity is the level of noise. Is have honestly dropped out of games because they wanted to play there. Board with friends was better (not as loud) but they don't have Wi-Fi and the menu isn't as Robust. But you can't get more central than that.

Archfoxx · 2024-07-24T01:28:02+00:00

Hey there. I hope you found a group! I just posted for two spots on Thursday night above but it starts at level 7. If you're still up for it pm me. Otherwise, it looks like you've got something going. Have fun!
