Now we need a DM and players

You know what is the hard part of this? timezones.
When i play DnD it takes 4 to 6 hours per session.
That would mean i start at 8 PM and play till 1 or 2

For lets say someone in the US it means starting at noon playing untill 6 PM.

Let me explain

What is DnD

Dungeons & Dragons is a structured yet open-ended role-playing game. It is normally played indoors with the participants seated around a tabletop. Typically, each player controls only a single character, which represents an individual in a fictional setting. When working together as a group, these player characters (PCs) are often described as a 'party' of adventurers, with each member often having his or her own areas of specialty that contributes to the success of the whole. During the course of play, each player directs the actions of his or her character and its interactions with the other characters in the game. This activity is performed through the verbal impersonation of the characters by the players, while also employing a variety of social and other useful cognitive skills, such as logic, basic mathematics and imagination. A game often continues over a series of meetings to complete a single adventure, and longer into a series of related gaming adventures, called a 'campaign'.
The results of the party's choices and the overall storyline for the game are determined by the Dungeon Master (DM) according to the rules of the game and the DM's interpretation of those rules. The DM selects and describes the various non-player characters (NPCs), the party encounters, the settings in which these interactions occur, and the outcomes of those encounters based on the players' choices and actions. Encounters often take the form of battles with 'monsters' – a generic term used in D&D to describe potentially hostile beings such as animals, aberrant beings or mythical creatures. The game's extensive rules – which cover diverse subjects such as social interactions, magic use, combat, and the effect of the environment on PCs – help the DM to make these decisions. The DM may choose to deviate from the published rules or make up new ones if they feel it is necessary.


Release 3.5 of the three core rulebooks
The most recent versions of the game's rules are detailed in three core rulebooks: The Player's Handbook, the Dungeon Master's Guide and the Monster Manual. A Basic Game boxed set contains abbreviated rules to help beginners learn the game.
The only items required to play the game are the rulebooks, a character sheet for each player and a number of polyhedral dice. The current editions also assume, but do not require, the use of miniature figures or markers on a gridded surface. Earlier editions did not make this assumption. Many optional accessories are available to enhance the game, such as expansion rulebooks, pre-designed adventures and various campaign settings.


This is a nice short (2 hours) game of celebrity players at PAX

[Ryladine]

Only ever played one match, but I'm up for it if you lot can figure out a way to do it online.

[Derpy the Derp]

We should do it over the forums because wazzy
We'll use the honor system for rolls.

[Burnacid]

Use roll20.net. I play DnD over the internet with my community

[Derpy the Derp]

Ahem.
Giantitp is a website by a one Rich Burlew for publishing his comic The Order Of The Stick.
It can be used for various other things such as planning dnd games for playbypost with a built in roll system as well as discussion about roleplaying games like 3.5 and D20 Modern. Also used to show off art and forum games.
