So admittedly I'm in tons of games over on The Weave (waiting for some to officially close) and running at least two on Discord (alongside starting/running another soon on the Weave within a Tavern-style game). So it seems like my plate is pretty full. And it probably is. However, for the sake of this ancient and lesser-known website and its fanatical followers, I am willing to take on one additional group specific to here.
However! Before I can commit to anything, I must first know if there is interest enough for a game and which system to run it in. There should be a poll as part of this post with options. Further details are as follows: I am willing to run an instance of the isometric CRPG Icewind Dale (or Icewind Dale II, the sequel) for a party of 4-6 players. I will largely be ripping the plot directly from these games, and adjusting/stripping down dungeons and encounters as needed for the sake of PbP gameplay. I can't promise this will be a great game (it is mostly just your classic dungeon crawler), but I do promise to run it for as long as people are willing to play (or until we reach the natural conclusion of the game by defeating the BBEG(s)).
So I ask you, dear readers, to tell me what you want! Do you want a standard dungeon crawl (Icewind Dale), or something a bit more open (Icewind Dale II)? Both are equally railroady, considering that they're CRPGs, but one has more open spaces than the other. Choose wisely, as you only get one vote, and the poll is only open until May the 8th!
Oh, forgot to mention earlier: While I'm willing to put in the work as the GM to convert the game in question to d&d 5e, please bear in mind that it will take much more effort on my end and things may be less exciting as a result. Icewind Dale (and its 3 expansions) was originally built using the AD&D 2nd edition ruleset, while Icewind Dale II was using 3rd edition (not 3.5, but 3rd edition; though those differences are minor at worst). I include 5th edition d&d as an option because it's newer (by comparison) and so people who've never played older editions or Pathfinder may find it more appealing.
