Sounds interesting. Will you take player who's never played Chainmail before?

Absolutely, since I've never actually played Chainmail, either!  It'll be a learning experience for us all... All you need to do is decide if you want to be a Hero or a Wizard. If you'd like to look at a copy of the rules, PM me... |

Okay! Count me in. I've got a copy of the rules, and I think I'd like to play a Wizard, if that's cool. I'll look you up on Google+ now. Looking forward to it!

You are in, and you is a Wiz. I'll hangout, as it were, assuming no connection issues, right at 10!

Sure. They work just as explained in Chainmail. Which means... - They can turn invisible until they attack
- They're not harmed by arrows
- They ATT/DEF as two Armored Foot
- They can see in the dark
- They can naturally use either a fireball or lightning bolt
- They have access to all the spells listed in the rules
- They need to roll on the Spell Complexity table when casting
- They can counterspell (or be counterspelled)
- They can use magical weapons(!)
That's mostly it, I think. I'm making this up as I go, but I'm also going to allow any Hero or Wizard to have up to 3HD of followers, human or otherwise. Depending on how it goes, I may limit the number of Wizards who can participate in a single adventure... I'll likely tweak other details as well (like allowing a choice of being able to turn invisible, use ESP, or levitate); we'll see! Sorry you can't play this time! |

Wow, they sound unstoppable  |

Well, no character's unstoppable to a good DM... I did also forget that, while they have the whole spell list available, they can only use six at any one time... Also, and this is probably a big deal, I'm not paying attention to any sort of "balance" as far as encounters are concerned. |

Is it instant death like regular Chainmail?

We just finished playing, and it's funny you asked that, because, no, I didn't use that rule on the Fantasy Combat Table, but I'm leaning towards it for next time... I'll be writing up a summary on ye olde blog...

Turns out, it was very similar to all the other of Kesher's games I've played in:
- Different rules,
- Same overall level of fun.

Dang, I just saw this. Maybe next time. coffee - How was your connection? I was okay for the first hour or so. Then I got booted, but I found out that I could still come back in the chat. I.e., no video, no audio, but the chat window still worked. I've done a bunch of overdue scans and cleanup on the computer this weekend, so I'm hoping things will be better in the near future. |
