The Game

This page relates to the D&D Game, which is titled The Root of All Evil.

Edition and History
Steve's D&D game (and all one-shots that have been played since) have used the 4th Edition Dungeons and Dragons rules. When Steve originally started to DM, a very old box-set was used and the rules for 4th Edition were introduced gradually to Chippy and Sue in a series of four short adventures. It wasn't until moving house that Steve decided to set up a campaign, involving John and Nana. Next to join were Chris and Phil playing via Skype, while Nana bowed out after the first chapter.

Technical Details
Steve, Sue and Chippy live together; traditionally John travels to their house, although occasionally the game has been run from his flat. Chris and Phil use a Skype or Google Hangouts setup to play remotely. While ensuring that they can be seen via their cameras, any play areas or battle grids are dealt with through Roll20, which is a virtual tabletop system.
