BBS for D&D Files? reddit / bbs ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CharlieBrown197 · 2020-07-16 00:48 Hi guys! I've been fascinated by Dungeons and Dragons for a while now, though it doesn't seem to be the sort of thing I would actually want to sit down and play. Weird, I know. Anyway, I found a couple of campaigns written out a while back on a BBS. I think it was Empire of the Dragon. Anyway, I can't find these files anymore, though maybe I'm not looking in the right area. My question is, is there a good BBS with a good number of D&D-related files available? Yes, yes, I know, I could get them from the Internet. But that's no fun, and I like firing up my modem! Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2020-07-16 00:59 Can't help you locate the files but It's a ton of fun to gather with some friends and play for 8 hours one day. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CharlieBrown197 · 2020-07-16 01:06 Yeah, it sort of intrigues me. I'm thinking I might get more excited about it if I read through a campaign or two. The ones I found were kind of cool, because the whole campaign was in a plain text file with ASCII maps, and it came with DOS executables that gave some nice artwork. Don't know where I put those files though. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- [deleted] · 2020-07-16 01:16 The real magic in a game is the fact it doesn't have a script. You can get very creative in how you solve or don't solve situations. I especially love magic because you can get very creative with it. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CharlieBrown197 · 2020-07-16 01:20 Not gonna lie, I think the part I look forward to most is when everything goes off the rails, and either the party succeeds with flying colors, or is absolutely destroyed in a spectacular failure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- MattsWorldoWonders · 2020-07-16 05:15 If you're into retro software, check out SSI's Dungeons and Dragons series from the 80s. It may be available as abandonware for free. It wasn't BBS, just MSDOS software. I had a BBS in those days and we rand DnD campaigns in message forums. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- denzuko · 2020-07-16 06:49 Other than textfiles and [archive.org](https://archive.org) I'd suggest popping on a board that's on Fidonet and asking in ADND and DND message echos. Edit: Looks like there's still an echo for both ADND and DND on r1 net282: [http://www.rxn.com/\~net282/backbone.na](http://www.rxn.com/~net282/b ackbone.na) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Android8675 · 2020-07-17 04:35 Couple years ago I joined a Discord server and have been playing the heck out of DnD 5e ever since. Old/Lost to time adventures are always fun to find and try to add them into a campaign. I like to get old 1e modules from drivethrurpg.com and just read through them or check out the old school maps. My advice would be to not go down that rabbit hole, it's deep. I found a DnD door that I never got the chance to try running. Honestly have no idea if it's even loosely based on actual DnD or just an RPG in the vein of DnD. Either way.... [here ya go](https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B- d7vyeVgM5kX2xObHVXS1NUUEE/view?usp=sharing). Just flipped through the doc file, it sounds promising. Maybe I can get someone to spin it up on door party? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- krawhitham · 2020-07-26 06:44 https://thetrove.net/
