Hey guys,
I've been wanting to return to some retro gaming for a while now, so figured I'd ask if anyone wants to play labyrinth Lord. It's a retroclone so somewhat unforgiving.
Rules are available free from the creators here - www.goblinoidgames.com/labyrinthlord.html We'll only be using core, so no advanced races/classes.
Players will start at level 1 with the following stats arranged as they wish - 15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8 and the first HD will be halved, rounded up.
Starting gold would be 135gp.
The campaign will be focused on a megadungeon - a term used to refer to a dungeon large enough to the the entirely of a campaign in and of itself. Multiple factions exist within it, as well as multiple levels of secrets, puzzles etc. To copy and paste from my previous Lamentations campaign here -
Very important points for those who'd like to take part -
This campaign is not going to be kind. You'll likely screw up and die, and that's ok - everyone is very, very squishy.
You are likely to die to things you don't understand. To be honest, you should expect it.
If it seems like you can't find a specific mechanic for something, be descriptive. It's a retroclone. Player skill matters.
When in doubt, have someone else test it first.
Have backup characters ready. I'm not joking - fastest death I've GM'd in Labyrinth Lord was about 30 seconds.
If you feel something was unfair, it just may well have been. There is no CL. There are no appropriate encounters. Fighting is bloody dangerous.
You can, and probably will, get ambushed, mugged and left for dead, if not already dead.
You will want friends you can trust. You are unlikely to have any.
Above all else, lots of the fun comes from seeing how everyone else dies, then trying not to.
Sessions would run at 00:00 my time Wednesday (so likely Tuesday for most of you) for 3-5 hours. Easiest way to check my time is here - www.google.co.uk/search?q=uk+time&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&client=ubuntu&channel=fs&gfe_rd=cr&ei=5-dEV5HNC8fS8Afp-a3IBA&gws_rd=ssl
If you're interested and having a go at a megadungeon then please post here and remember to bring your 10 foot poles, lanterns and hirelings.

I'll have to read up on this rules system though, but that shouldn't take to long.
