Hello Lither you'll find the Arts and Crafts Webcomic subsection useful for your webcomic venture if you haven't gone big yet and pretty much the whole forum falls into gaming somehow (Except board issues).

There's games recruiting players here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=51). Just as a friendly heads up, double posting is frowned upon here (you may want to check out the rules here (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/announcement.php?a=1) or at the top of every page). You can just edit your post or wait for someone else to post :smallsmile:

Hello world.

I found out about Order of the Stick none too long ago. Although I DID see a pic of it on TV Tropes much earlier. And I could've sworn someone on a forum knew about it. Huh.

But anyhow, I decided to join when I felt I should make a fan comic as well. I've already got quite a bit of work done on it as of now.

But enough about me. I'll let the other new ones introduce themselves.

Hello everyone. I'm new, and you aren't (more than likely). Well, I guess I should write some more here. So, I suppose I'll tell everyone a bit about myself.

I'm a 24 yr old geeky-farmboy-turned-cityslicker who lives in North Dakota. I play Halo, Left 4 Dead, Magic: The Gathering, Yu-gi-oh, and Dnd. OK. So, "geeky" might be stretching it a little, but, hey, to those who don't think I have a life :P, I DO have a girlfriend, 2 jobs, and many friends. In my free time (which is very little), I work on the writing of my first book which I intend to become a series (if I'm lucky).

I think that should be enough for now. Hope to talk to you guys later.

Came one a while ago with an account whose name I can't remember. Forgot both it and its password.

3.5 is awful. 4e is better. We'll see how that opinion works out for me.

That is all.

Welcome Fox Box Socks, 4e is awful 3.5 is better and 2e was awesome. Of course, GURPS and possibly Star Frontiers are as good as 2e if not better. With that said, you've come to a forum dominated by 3.5 homebrew, but there is more enough 4e players and homebrew if you want to join a Play by Post.

Hi fellas! :smallbiggrin: I discovered OoTS through tvtropes.org and have read all published strips on the website, becoming a huge fan of it. You may know me as Captain Sweden at deviantART. Incidentally I only started with RPG's after I had started to read OoTS and I haven't played D&D (yet?). Also a big fan of comics in general, Science Fiction, High Fantasy, Sword and Sorcery, detective and spy fiction, film noir, etc. History buff as well.

PS. The H in my poster name stands for Hammer. If you know Latin and Swedish you can deduce my real name, but please, note me instead of posting here if you think you got it right.

PSS. I just realised I could use my poster name for a fantasy character. I'll try to not make "him" too Gary Stu-ish. :smalltongue:

Hi all,

I am new here. I was actually directed here by one of my writers.

I have been playing RPGs for a looooong time, with a basic DnD game that goes back maybe 17 years that we play about once a year.

I also play Earth Dawn infrequently with old friends. And lots of other video, board, and other fantasy stuff.

The reason I came here is because I want to put the word out that I am looking for writers for a Choose Your Own Adventure style series of books. We are making video games based on the books our writers put together.

I don't want to spam, and I'm not sure if this kind of post is welcome. Can someone tell me where I can post a link to the job for your users?

Thanks,

Mike

The new account is simply because it's simpler. Besides, all that's changed is postcount.
And no, my name is not a reference to Drop Dead Fred. It's just the name I use on ThatGuyWithTheGlasses. I suppose it could be though, I do love Rik Mayall's brand of comedy.

Yup, the Giant is Ambrosia, Nectar of the Gods.


Edit:
Actually, let's see here, who of my generation is still posting...

*goes through member's list*

Amiel, Zherog, Starbuck_II, Scorpina, White Blade, Hzurr, Yuki_Akuma, and Kish.

Only ones still posting from my time. Never even heard of Hzurr or Kish actually. Huh. Zherog has actually been posting almost a year before any of the rest of us. Probably the eldest active poster of all.

Hello! This seems like a nice forum, apart from its unsearchable vastness. I was recently introduced to D&D, and I'm interested in anything that stretches the imagination and demands literary flair (as well as a tasteful sense of plot). I'm probably less of a gamer and more of a writer, but I like both. I cannot deny my self-endorsing interest, but I also enjoy participating in an environment that draws the best out of everyone else. I guess I'll see if this is fun.

Hello all! I'm busy trying to get into actual DnD (not just playing premade characters) and I figure this could be a good place to learn. So..yeah.

Hopefully y'all can recommend a good jumping off point for me. I already know how to make basic characters but the whole multi-classing thing and making non-nerfed characters seems to be impossible for me.

Hello, Siege Tower! If you're interested in getting some experience, I'd check out the play-by-post subforum (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=51). If you're just looking for some tips on building a character, the roleplaying games subforum (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=30) will probably be your best bet (don't let them scare you, they tend towards high optimization :smallwink:). I'm also always happy to answer questions (although I'm not the best source for information on optimization). Hope that helps :smallsmile:

Welcome siege tower!

The harder parts of D&D seemed difficult to me as well when I first started. You'll get used to it. Multi-classing is usually unnecessary unless you really want to optimize.

Hope you enjoy GiTP!

Hello. Seeing as I'm new and all I thought that a small introduction would be in order. I dabble in a little bit of everything. I can only draw when I'm in the mood, but when I am in the mood, I make some pretty nice pictures. I hate math and love to read and write. I plan on going into the Video Game Industry after College, which I suppose has brought me here. I love gaming. Be it electronically or traditional. Though, I will be honest and admit that it has been awhile since I've done any traditional gaming. I hope to get back into it and this seems like the best place to do it. The community seems great. I look forward to some future games with everyone. :D :D :D

Yet another new guy. Hi everyone. I'm a roleplayer of DnD 3.5, and recently (ie last couple days) Pathfinder. I'm in the long process of building my own fantasy world for the purposes of writing a book or two, hopefully. Considering the other settings I see in existence, I sometimes feel a bit intimidated, though at the same time I want to rise to the challenge. The 'career' I'm attempting to pursue is to be an electrician. This all while trying to keep some semblance of a life and friends and video games. Its a big task. Good to find a new forum to frequent.

I snooped around for a few months and decided to now become an active member. My future plans involve becoming a translator of English-German literature and traveling to America to improve my mad tranzlation skillz. I've played Pen&Paper Rpgs off and on since I've been... twelve or so (Mostly D&D, with some Shadowrun and The Dark Eye on the side), so this was the perfect site to stumble on.
I'd really like to join a D&D game or form my own freeform one ('cause honestly, there can never be enough roleplaying in your life), but I hope my timezone doesn't make things uncomfortable.
Still, this looks like a very nice community and I'm sure I'll have lotsa fun.
So long!

Hey all, I'm Pendragon91 (Because Pendragon was already taken :(), aka Alex, a 19-year old student of International Relations at Aberystwyth University.

Only fairly recently (just over a year ago) got into tabletop RPGs, and I'm pretty much completely in love with anything and everything White Wolf puts out. Also a fan of a rather large number of anime/manga and Visual Novels, as well as a bunch of Webcomics.

I've started to wet my feet as a GM, though I still enjoy playing on the other side of the fence, so to speak. Even though I'm nominally GMT, I've pretty much started living my life in EST due to GM'ing a long-running Exalted game for a bunch of Americans, so can handle pretty much any time.

This looks like a pretty fun community, hope to have a good time here. :)

Hello everyone! I'm fairly new to using forums and stuff, I don't even know how to make a custom avatar thing (not that I mind)

I'm going to be straight. I came here to hopefully make some friends, because I'm been feeling pretty bad lately. I hope I can make some good friends here =)

This place seems nice and friendly towards a nerdmo such as myself! :D

I started reading OOTS some years ago, lost track, heard of it again, and looked through the forums a liiiittle bit. Lappy9000 has played the DM to my PC for a few years now.

I suppose there isn't much to know about me other than the fact I like to play bards. And monsters. But not at the same time. :B

I have a half-lizardfolk race I'm tweaking for a one-shot (yeah, I'm hardcore, what? :P), I'll probably post it for a critique somewhere down the road.


Anyway, I'm off to go lurk now. Can't wait to get to know you all!

Hello, all. Long time reader (c. 2007), first time poster. I suspect I'll be mostly lurking, though I will occasionally drop in to add some wit to a discussion or engage in a bit of self-promotion. Maybe I'll try to get back into role-playing (it's only been ten years since I've done it :smallamused:).

Hello, everyone.

I actually found this site through the TF2 server, but I've also played some D&D, although I've seldom found opportunities. I definitely prefer spell-casters to other classes, and generally prefer wizards to sorcerers. (If they had the patience to read my book, they'd know why.)

I'm also somewhat interested in game design, though not as a career. It's interesting to see how games effect emotional responses in gamers.

I'll see you all on the forums where I have something to contribute.

Just joined the forums. I've never roleplayed or anything mainly because it's hard to find people at my school who do and the ones I have met are usually a tad nutty. But I found out about these forums when I saw one of my teachers browsing here so I decided to check it out and I think it's pretty cool ad the community seems pretty nice and intelligent.

Hi, The Evil Moose! Welcome to the forum :smallsmile: If you're interested in roleplaying, you might want to check out the pbp section (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=3) of the forum. The Finding Players section has recruitment for a lot of games, in various systems. There's also the Free Form Roleplaying section (under Silly Message Board Games), which I've never really looked at, but should have less structured games.

Hey-o! Long-time lurker of these boards, registered last year but never posted. Been reading OotS for years. Decided it was about time I crawled out of the shadows to prey upon the unwary say hi.

Anyway, I love OatS. Especially in the morning. With raisins.

I guess I should add that love OotS, too. Just not with raisins.

Woooah. Being tired is like being high, except I've never been high so I can only guess.

My friend told me to check out this forum, so I lurked for about six seconds before seeing the Minecraft thread and signing up. I also really like OotS, so that's something.

I'm trying to be coherent, but I don't think it's working. :/

Hey guys,
I'm Taylor Skidmore, a friend of echoes. He recruited me here. I play D&D. Lots of D&D. My friends and I have mostly moved on to 4.0e, but I like to play 3.5 on the net too. I play the French Horn in my high school's concert band.

That's about it, I don't do much else.

Oh! I like to program some
