Chronos Role-Playing Game
Chronos is a role-playing game based on D&D 1st edition, with many borrowings from D&D 5th edition, especially the spell system. It is simplified to allow the occasional player to learn the game quickly and does not require learning hundreds of pages of rules.
To start playing Chronos, you need to request a new character for the game.
New Player Instructions
To get started in the game, email the following information to Falsoon, the Game Master:
1. Your character traits:
a. What race do you want? Human, Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Half-Elf, Half-Orc, Hobbit. b. What class do you want? Fighter, Cleric, Rogue, Wizard. (Multi-classing and specialty classes don't start until Level 4.) c. What is the name of your character? Send that also; you can change it later. d. If you have an avatar image for your character, send that in a png file to the GM. The GM must upload the image for your token. If you don't have an image for your token,
the DM has plenty of default images. You might check that your image has a transparent background (or ask the DM to remove the background if you can't). It looks better on the Roll20 map without the default square white background.
2. Your email address. Falsoon needs this to (1) send your new character to you, and (2) to invite you into the game. Roll20 needs your email address to send you the invitation link.
3. Falsoon will generate two characters that match your preferences and send them to you via email. You choose which one you want to play, and Falsoon will generate a Chronos character sheet spreadsheet that will handle much of your character's maintenance (like keeping track of the weight of inventory or treasure). He will also put your character into the game, with your avatar if you provided it. You will see a Roll20 invitation link to join the game. After you respond to the invitation link, you can “Join Game" from the game's home page.
4. Your Skype login. We use Roll20 for audio, but it is flaky sometimes, and drops us. As a backup, we use Skype for audio. Once you have selected your character from the two that I send, I can add him/her character into the game: go to Roll20 and “Join Game”. You can control your token (avatar) and edit the character. Your character can also buy or sell items from the town’s store (See Journal -> Battle aides -> Inventory List) using your character’s starting gold-in-hand
