I think it would be really fun to run a D&D campaign in a thread. I'm not sure how exactly we would do it, but I feel like it would be a blast to play with /bant/

That would be fine. First we'd need to decide which rule book to go with and how we would transition some of these rules to a thread format.

Guess I should look to see if there is already a version out there.

Thinking something like last digit is your roll for what you're doing. It would translate to a D20 by doubling what ever you roll.

Example would be that a post ending in:

1 = 2
4 = 8
7 = 14

and so on. The DM of course would keep track of that. then 0's would be critical miss and dubs would be critical hits. Anything above dubs would depend on the situation but probably would work mostly as dubs.

We could have each player put their stats in their name like so, Player Name / Class+level of class / STR +# / DEX +# and so on. (ex: Biggles Dicktickler / Fighter 4 / STR +4 / DEX +2 / CON +3 / WIS +1 / INT -1 / CHA +0)

If we stuck solely to the thread format, I'd just have us do it as theater of the mind. It would be easier in this format than trying to set up grid combat.

But this also might be easier to just get people together and do it all online via discord/roll20 and what ever else would make it work.

Discord Play By Post is pretty easy. There's a style called West Marches where the grand DM basically just makes a world and the other players decide amongst themselves what they want to do. Players, with the approval of the true DM, can DM their own quests inside of the same campaign. Turns into more of an mmo. I gotta go to sleep but here's a post on it.
For editions, I'd say 5e with homebrew is simplest, though 3.5 is probably the most fleshed out. Been into DnD for a while now and only seriously took the plunge when critical role season 2 started out. Fjord is probably the coolest one there.

I mean, there would be more to it than just rolling like those threads. It's also why we would contemplate going to /tg/ since they have a dice roller plug in.

Overall though, I think the best way is to get on a call or set up a discord (or some other app) that allows us to set up something that will let us roll dice.

That could work. It would make it possible to have all interactions done away from the thread making it less of a roll thread feel. But it would still all be text based, allowing us to take our time with it.

Alright so I have a discord channel made with a dice rolling bot added. Assuming anyone that wants to play is okay with using discord, we could do as Norway mentioned and run everything on /bant/ with rolling dice left on discord. This would allow us to keep character sheets there as well and anything else that needs to be long term.

Do you guys like this idea or do we want to do something different?

Another option that may be better for /bant/ is to solely do one shots. It means we don't have to prep as much and makes it way easier to manage lots of people. We would just have a couple different DMs and depending on the amount of people, we just split it as evenly as possible.
