sometimes i see people mention d&d and i think to myself. 'thatd be fun'
Hayvel
thats all
Hayvel
i played once and it was enjoyable but the group just sorta crumbled very quickly
Hayvel
i liked my wizard
curby&coughing
I didn't expect to like d&d as much as I do but it's Fun
Hayvel
do you like! do it in person or online and junk. i did it online with friends from my previous RP group
curby&coughing
I've done both! but I mostly do it online nowadays
curby&coughing
but when I started it was in person
Hayvel
i think i would prefer it in person! i would feel weird doing it like... just, saying things in character??? i dunno
curby&coughing
I tend to find character voices help w that honestly
curby&coughing
but we also have like, skype open so we can see faces
Hayvel
ghn. yeah im not ever showing my face. i just like... everything was text
curby&coughing
yeahhh I find d&d isn't as fun through text
Hayvel
like i might be willing to talk and junk but im not going out and buying a webcam. give it a shot at least
Dr. BeardoPuff
I yearn for a D&D or Pathfinder group in my new live.
Dr. BeardoPuff
life
Dr. BeardoPuff
When you do it in person, you get D&D potluck.
Hayvel
if i ever do find a group im definitely bringing back my wizard to burn everything though
Dr. BeardoPuff
If you do it right, anyway.
Hayvel
i do not know what that sequence of words means
slurm lord
it probably means that everyone brings a bunch of food
Dr. BeardoPuff
If you do in-person D&D it means that you get like 4 or 5 other people than you in the same place and food happens.
Dr. BeardoPuff
Or at leas it should.
Hayvel
ah! is that what a potluck is, then
Hayvel
neat
Dr. BeardoPuff
Years of midwestern church potlucks did not prepare me for meeting someone who had never done a potluck before.
slurm lord
yeah I do the talking over discord and the playing on a site called roll20
slurm lord
me, I just don't keep the webcam turned on. everyone else can have theirs on but that doesn't mean I have to
slurm lord
the webcams are on roll20 and you can switch them off so you don't even have to see others
slurm lord
I... do that, not because I hate my friends' faces but I like to see more of the game map
slurm lord
anyway that's how I play online. I like having a map with tokens on squares because it helps me visualize what's going on better
Hayvel
yeah! chris had us doing a thing like that. some site for that and junk. with a map
Hayvel
while using 2 IRC channels, one for OOC and rolls and one for IC stuff
slurm lord
the first time I played was in meatspace, and we did not have a game board, just verbal descriptions, so it was easy for me to lose track of what was going on especially since I played with a very... distracting... distracted... group of people
slurm lord
so to have a map was like... revolutionary for me
Hayvel
that does sound like it would be quite confusing
slurm lord
love your maps
slurm lord
I have not played as a wizard yet but it sounds like a lot of fun
Hayvel
anyway im going to talk about my wizard now, since i was doing that thing where you mention something briefly and wait for someone to ask about it, so that then youre not just coming across as self absorbed and just suddenly talking about your own shit with nobody showing interest first
Hayvel
but like, screw it its my plurk and im gonna talk about what i want
Hayvel
his name is immeral! hes an eladrin. which i understand is just like... elves, but even elfier. even taller. very regal and refined
Hayvel
immeral on the other hand is very short, has a bad temper, and is generally just sort of a dick
Hayvel
and from a young age, loved the idea of magic, because- holy shit, fire is cool you guys
Hayvel
and being able to just make it anytime you want would be even cooler
Hayvel
so he went to like, a magic academy when he was old enough, where he proved to be... pretty mediocre. not great, not bad. hes alright at magic. definitely not the best. but he makes up for it with quick wits and creativity. or so he likes to think anyway
Hayvel
aaaand then he got kicked out because hes a little shit with a bad attitude and absolutely no respect for authority. and also he burned down a very significant portion of the campus
Hayvel
you might think that growing up and learning stuff might have helped him see more applications for magic outside of destruction and fire, but. no, he has stubbornly maintained his childish outlook on the craft
slurm lord
i love him already
Hayvel
people will ask him, do you really need to juggle fireballs EVERY time youre just sitting around waiting for something. and he is flabbergasted by the question, because like. he can do that. he can just do that, and why would he ever NOT do that?
Hayvel
(hes banned from most places with lots of flammable stuff)
Hayvel
and like!! who cares if he got kicked out of magic school, whatever!! hes got enough know how anyway, and hes going to go out and be an adventurer with his talents, and youre all going to be jealous!!!!
Hayvel
one of his eyebrows is burned off, also. there exists a drawing of him but i have long since lost track of it
Hayvel
ok! the end
slurm lord
he sounds like he would be fun to be in a campaign with
slurm lord
just to watch him try to prove himself with fire
Hayvel
it probably wouldnt go very well tbh. i got pretty poor rolls when doing his stats and junk
Hayvel
like i said, he is an extremely mediocre mage
Hayvel
but!! he was fun and i liked it a lot
Hayvel
(he also had kind of a crush on the groups bard, who had a perfect charisma score, was so handsome he sparkled, and killed a dragon by insulting it)
slurm lord
KILLED A DRAGON BY INSULTING IT
Hayvel
yep! just shouted horrible, horrible things at the dragon so hard that he died
fernicus
same, dragon. same
curby&coughing
thats absolutely amazing
