Hi, I'm Steve and I have been playing fantasy games for over 30 years, starting with AD&D. I’ve worked my way through versions 2, 3 & 3.5 before switching to the ‘dark side’ – Pathfinder!

I still play AD&D, Pathfinder and Zombicide but not as much as I’d like due to work commitments. I also really enjoy the online Neverwinter Nights D&D worlds of Amia and Arelith, although I have really struggled in the last couple of years – but I do intend returning in earnest in the future.

I've read a lot of Forgotten Realms books too, in particular those by R. A.Salvatore.

My other passion is making jokes – I’ve been doing so for over 40 years and I’ve taken to writing them down if I consider them good (or bad!) enough.

As a child I also loved drawing cartoons but stopped at the age of 12 to play sport, read, study, get a job and raise a family: I hasten to add, I didn't do all these aged 12.

A couple of years ago I realised that my kids were becoming independent and I had some more free time - so I picked up my pen and gave it another go - and loved it. They say 'you don't lose your gift' - well I don't have a gift, so I haven't lost it!

Last year I created my website (www.PunsAndDragons.com (http://www.punsanddragons.com)) and Twitter & Facebook accounts, where I have been posting cartoons ever since. I now have a good following and have therefore decided to collate them into a book which is ready to be unleashed on the world! I will shortly start a Kickstarter campaign for the book – “The Pun Master’s Guide”.

In the meantime I thought I’d get more involved in the community and I look forward to contributing, in my own way, to the forums. I hope to spread my passion and sense of fun!

Hello, I am new here, but a huge fan of D&D. I played D&D2e back in the day with my friends. I love the world and the gaming. However, live online and F2F games are unrealistic due to family commitments. I am looking to try out PbP and get into the 5e ruleset. I am available all work week CST and some on weekends. I am looking forward to playing with you guys, and thanks for having me!

Hello to Everyone!

I've been having a ton of fun playing 3.5e d&d irl with a group of lovable, whipsmart miscreants at work. I played just a little of the 2nd and 3rd editions back in the day, but then had an all consuming workload for a while that didn't let me pursue much hobby-wise. Stumbled across this forum (and OotS!) when looking for advice on my current character build and have been impressed with the content and the community here. Looking forward to interacting with you all, learning, and hoping to join a play-by-post. I love the world building and shared story telling :smallsmile:

Why, hello there. I came across this forum, looked to see how active the role-playing section is, and oh wow does it look active. So I created an account about a week ago but hadn't actually posted anything with it. I'd love to get involved in an over-the-internet campaign sometime, currently can't, but figured I might as well introduce myself here anyway and perhaps get involved in some conversations, so that this account isn't just sitting here, never having been active, for the next few months until summer comes and A) I have no classes and B) my in-person RPG people are all away on break.

Hey, I'm really new here. No lurking, no experience in forums (does being kicked out for no reason at all count?), literally nothing. I have zilch social life which is why I am here, and intend upon changing that.
And I'm awkward. TBH, that's a huge understatement.

Hello all, new here. Was invited to join a Play-by-Post and I've been here for a few days.

I'd love to join more PbP games, but I have little experience with any pnp rpg systems. I played one session of Shadowrun 5e a few weeks ago and thats about it. Every PbP game I've ever played has been rules-lite or GM's own custom. So if anyone wants a new completely fresh player for whatever reason to join their game, I'm most likely err...game.

Anyways, I hope I enjoy my time on here, I guess. I'm not very good with introductions, so just take this.

Hello, longtime lurker, finally signed up to stick a toe in and see if I can get involved in a PbP campaign. I've been pretty obsessed with the game for a number of years, but my online video game group can't seem to keep a campaign going past a session or two. I have a real life group that I used to play in, and took over DMing when our DM decided to dip on us entirely (a bit mentally unstable). I do an alright job, I'm much better at macro world building and story writing than I am at the micro of play, specifically at keeping combat interesting. I think I'm getting better. That group can't meet very frequently though and I sit around with the itch all the time.

I think you all are awesome, I've read so many campaign recaps and various other posts here. I hope to be a positive member. I know DMs are generally in higher demand than players, but if possible I'd like to get in to a moderate friendly game as a player first and get my feet wet. Also, I haven't had the chance to be a player for some time. I know 3.5 and 5 both moderately well, and i've been dabbling in FATE as well as building my own RPG system (lots of free time when you're not playing) called swiftquest. I'm an AV tech and I develop software for interactive exhibits as a 'day job'. I sometimes fancy myself a writer; i have a degree in it.

Anyways, thanks for reading.

It dawned on me that I never posted a greeting here: just jumped right into the forums.

So, uh... Hey!

I'm another lurker: often found giantitp when I was looking up answers to rules disputes, homebrew ideas and general discussion on 5e. It was nicely formatted, had people who seemed to put some thought into what they said and tended to get more honest replies without people pulling their punches as much as other places. As such, when I needed to get some advice and feedback, it was the first place I looked.

So yeah: I'm here now.

Bye!

Heya! Just joined today! I have not Been Into D&D until recently when we finally got a group together to play Fridays after classes. Its been a blast and since I am a writer at heart I have been asked MANY times when I am gonna take over as DM. No disrespect to my other friend and current DM hes awesome! But even he has said I should give it a whirl. Just thought I could connect with fellow players get some ideas and rant endlessly into the void about homebrewed NPCs and monsters I think up.

:D I’m always open to talk and am down to make new friends :smalltongue:

Hey! I tend to go by Storm, and I'm new here. Um, I figure nobody actually reads these so... cheers to any lurkers who went this far back, I guess! Anyway, I'm somewhat new to D&D in general, though I absolutely love it and have basically thrown myself into it. I also enjoy pointless theorizing, overanalyzing everything that absolutely doesn't need to be analyzed, music, and procrastination. I'd end with something snappy, but my head's clogged up.

Hiya, I’m new here.

Well, not exactly. I thought I posted this once, but I guess I didn’t. Better late than never, right?

Anyways, I’m a pretty straight-forward guy. I like TTRPGs, roleplaying, art, games, reading, dragons, forum-posting, dragons, and, lets see... dragons.

But, don’t think me weird. I joined this forum looking for DND advice, and out of interest, simply decided to stay around and offer advice. I hope I can help y’all, and y’all can help me.

So hello. I currently split my D&D time between my halfling rogue (Tika) in my 3.5e campaign and an elven homebrew ranger (Liath) in 5e.
Now I guess that I will roll to Move Silently back into the shadows of the forum.

Discovering OOTS was a "Where have you been all my life?" moment.

And now, I'm frequently searching for Pathfinder tips, and MANY results lead me to this forum.

This "Helo" post was, thus, inevitable. I look forward to tapping into the Nerd Collective.

Have been reading the guides and stuff here for a while. Finally decided to join up since I had a question I've been unable to solve on my own. So...here I am!

Anyone interested in reading my question about preparing for a 5e PvP game, it's over in Player Help (can't link yet, but soon!)

Hi there,

Just joined and wanted to say hello. Can't say I have used the forums much, so lots of things are still new to me. Grew up playing 3rd and 3.5 ed. with friends. Started DMing a homebrew (O.A. Campaign) and a new campaign in the Silver Marches. Mostly looking forward to finding great info here in the forums, but also possible to get some feedback.

Currently looking for lots of great info on Calimshan (Calimport & Memnon specifically)

Also anything on the fire genasi and sorcerer builds/adventures

Thanks!

Salutations!

Haven't checked in with the comic in ages, been getting on my own campaigns and consuming CR and GCP, but now it is time to re-invest in message board forums (used to so very long ago!) and lo and behold, here eye yam.

Eye yam sounds like a spell.

Probably a bard spell.

Howdy, folks.

Just signed up to the board yesterday. I've been lurking/reading some of the D&D related postings off and on for a while.

I recently got back into DMing after a 15 year hiatus from all gaming. Started with the D&D Basic set in early '82 and progressed to AD&D/AD&D2e over the '80s & 90s, then Ars Magica for the late '90s/early 2000s. Mostly here for the RPG discussions, of course.

I'm currently running the AD&D2e campaign module Night Below (nearing end of Book 1) in my homebrew world using AD&D2e rules. Three players, one close to my age and experience, two much younger than both of us and far newer to gaming.

Outside of gaming, I'm a father of one son, grampa of three boys, married to the same woman for almost 26 years and in the same job for going on 13. I also play guitar and read science fiction, fantasy, and urban fantasy for entertainment/inspiration.

Looking forward to getting acquainted with the group here:smallsmile:

Probably not...

However, I am a 30+ dude from germany, currently enjoying my first 5e adventure.
PnP has only been added to my hobbies, and I've been having a lot of fun with it, ever since.

Apologies for any typos or other mistakes. As I said, I'm from germany, therefore, I am not a native speaker.

Hello everybody! :) My name is Lunch.

I merely joined last night with the hopes of roleplay/writing stories with others again.

I've been roleplaying for about 15 years now, though have been on a bit of a hiatus for a bit. I first started playing table-top D&D back in college around 7-8 years ago and fell in love with it! I started with 3e, then slowling moved into 4e, but I had the chance several years ago to DM using 5e. It's a bit of a challenge but it was fun the short time it lasted! :)

I hope to make some new friends here and have the hope to get back into roleplaying and writing stories with others. I also hope to incorporate more of the D&D feel into my writings.

Thanks for having me and feel free to message me!

I hope to post some characters soon! I hope everybody has a great day/night! :)

Hi,

I am new here and don't really have much experience with forums. I used to play D&D pretty heavily but unfortunately have not had a chance to play much lately. My friends still play consistently so I decided to write a program that I call The Index Compendium which can be used to store searchable libraries of indexes that display the source book that it can be found and the page number it is on. If you have the PDF for that book, then double-clicking on the index will open the proper PDF to the page that the information can be found. I created the application to be subject independent so that anyone can add libraries of indexes for anything from D&D 5th ed, Pathfinder, and Shadowrun, to Automobile Manuals, Recipe Books, and anything else you want.

Anyway, I thought that I might upload it online and share it with anyone that might find it useful. I already have a large chunk of the D&D 3.5 library completed but it is easy to add to it or create additional libraries as it can handle many different subjects at once, separated by tabs, and could be nice if people shared anything that they add.

What would be the best place to upload it to? Is there a proper thread for this sort of thing?

Hello and good day to all. Allow me to introduce myself.

My name's William, and I was pointed here by a friend who noticed that I was really looking to find some Play by Post gaming and RP-ing.

And uh...that's about it, really. I have basically little to no experience when it comes to gaming, and current circumstances only allow me to do PBP. I am willing to read about and learn any system that I have to, as long as I get to play. I plan to absolutely DELVE into all this until I collapse.

So yeah. It's a pleasure to meet you all and I hope I can make some friends and play some games here. Thank you for reading! :)

Greetings all! The Darkmoon here! I've been lurking on this forum for a little while now, mostly looking at the amazing DnD 5e optimizations guides some nice users have created. Now that I've seen more of what this forum/community has to offer, I may as well join in the discussion myself. PbP seems fun, and just up my alley with my hectic schedule. And maybe with enough time here someone will convince me to look at the comic that these forums were apparently based around!

Hey there, everyone! Finally joined the forums after... uh. Well, I started reading OoTS around the Battle for Azure City arc, so, 2006... 12 years!

But, I've been reading OoTS since I was about 10, and have playing D&D on-and-off since my dad introduced me to the game proper at about 14. I tried my hand at DM-img last year, and... well, my skills need improving. I've got the world-building down, it's the execution. So for now, my S.O. DMs and I create the world. I'll be over in the Homebrew section if ya need me!

Hi Everyone,

I've been playing pen and paper RPG's for a long long time. Like so long that I used to hang with Asmodeus when we were young lads. But then he got all full of himself and was all "I'm Lord of Avernus and I'm so much better than you and you're just a mortal loser" and such. He's a total wanker. Never make a pact with him.

Back in the day I played a lot of AD&D, Tunnels & Trolls, Runequest, and Champions. But I have to say my favorite was Call of Cthulhu. So much madness and horribly terribly awesome deaths. Any mission that did not end in a TPK was considered a success.

I recently decided to get back into D&D now that my kids are old enough to be indoctrinated play. So I've been getting up to speed on 5th Edition and I have to say I love the new rules and mechanics. So much easier than AD&D.

I'm currently running my family through Lost Mines of Phandelver and everyone is having a fantastic time.

I found this forum while searching for resources to help me DM. I gotta say the community looks very cool.

I'm very interested in DM lifeprotips.

See you all around!

:smallbiggrin: Cheers!

Hello fellow gamers, oots fans, and carbon-based life forms!

I’ve been reading oots since before strip 100 and have enjoyed tabletop games for years. I have finally joined a message board. This is my first one ever, too.

I’ve primarily joined to seek out more D&D gaming. I played years ago in 3.5e then lost touch with my group. I stumbled into a 5e game through an acquaintance. My new group is 4 sessions in but only meet bi-weekly which doesn’t slake my thirst for dice rolls and role play.

I really hope I can find more action by becoming a part of this community. Now, I’m off to roll up another 5e character for fun. I’m making one for each class. 4 down, 8 to go. The build guides in these forums are awesome.

Hello! It's been so long since I've actually joined a forum that I'm not quite sure what to put here.

To be completely honest, I really only joined because I play D&D and have character questions, and really need some like minded and experience people to bounce ideas off of. From what I've seen, the forum here is about as good a place to do so (I've gotten so many Google searches linked to here answering so many questions I've had), intelligent people with a collectively huge knowledge of the rules.

Who knows, though, beyond that, I might stick around, wander the forums like a convention, and maybe pop in to other conversations going on.

I've played quite a lot of roleplaying games already in the past 20+ years and it's still as much fun as when I started.

So aloha. Californian 30 year old who's been dropping in on the comic occasionally for the past whatever, and trying to get into tabletop seriously. I've done a lot of old-school IRC text games, but as those seem to be deader than dead it's time to get into voice.

I got nothin' past that, folks!

Howdy! Finally registered on these forums after perusing them for years. Getting back into D&D again, will probably be poking around for more info and asking lots of newb questions. Thanks in advance!

Hey guys, I’m an avid 3.5 player and am also learning 5th edition for D&D. I am pretty well versed in 3.5, but am not quite encyclopedic yet. I may post with questions here and there, I might help answer here and there, I appreciate support or constructive criticisms in either case. Glad to be here :)

Hello everyone! I recently started playing this game and tend to play it amongst my group of friends. I was ALWAYS interested in playing DnD but unfortunately did not due to my fear or social outlook, which I admittedly find it to be stupid...now as a 30 yr old. I am ashamed to say I do tend to care quite a bit about optimization and numbers but thankfully my group has accepted and took me under their wings! I hope to have fun and I hope to meet great people here on the forums!

Hello to all! Long-time lurker who finally joined instead of just reading other's words anonymously. Big fan of rpgs who doesn't get to play as often as they'd like and math nerd who actually finds theory-crafting really interesting away from the table, if less so when I'm playing at one.

I guess I should say that the username is a puzzle and pun. It's a puzzle because... well that'd be telling wouldn't it! I can say that the pun is the Gael part because I'm Irish and that's a hint for the puzzle part.

Hello!
Stumbled open the OOTS comics a few months back and read them all in a couple weeks. Big fan.
I will also DM for the first time ever when our current 3.5 game ends. It will be a 5th ed game which my friends and I never played. Figured it would be a good thing to register to ask questions about it all!

Hello there!

I've been a ghost for several years now, just made an account recently. Took me a while to work up to actually post something, so I'd figure I'd start here.

A little bit about myself: I've been reading the OOTS for about 6 years now, and TTRPGS for just as long (though that's probably short by some people's standards, on both counts). I play a lot of D&D 3.5 and 5e, though recently my friends and I've been play-testing my own homebrew system.

Hoping to find some good advice on homebrewing! Also interested in playing some play by post games, but I don't know where to start really.

Diego2112
2018-08-10, 05:27 PM
Salaam and good evening my worthy friends! I am Diego, the Gaming Gamer who Games, and I am quite new here. I have lurked in corners and read various member's guides to building a certain type of RPG character for 5e (usually for NPCs I'm making), and recognizing the superiority of a collective knowledge far greater than my own, I have decided to join ranks that I might ask questions, and indeed, answer those which I can.

I have more experience BEHIND the screen than as a player, but I am by no means an expert of any system.

My favored system would be GURPS. After that, either Pathfinder/3.5 or 5e. Most extensive experience is with 5e.

I build worlds. I make characters. I write stories. I sometimes brew up a nice magic item for my players based off something they would know/care about (e.g. a variant on the Crysknife from Dune might find it's way to a Rogue Player who is a fan of Herbert, or a lawful good player who enjoys Goodkind might find a blade with "Truth" somewhere on it, things like that).

I do not believe in telling players "No," if I can help it. They may "Certainly try," as I tend to say. Yes, I know, the age old argument about "I jump to the moon!" and they roll a nat 20. Guess what? Great job (even though RAW in say, 5e, a nat 20 don't mean instant success/hit in non combat situations)! You can jump to the moon! And promptly die because there's no survivable atmosphere in space! Good job, roll a new character with a -1 level penalty. Thanks!

Player Agency is a big deal to me. If they can provide me the sources (i.e. DM's Guild PDFs, some not stupidly OP homebrew), I'll let them play just about any race, class, or whatever they want. It gets a little crazy sometimes, but it has led to some of the most fun in games I've ever seen (or read about, for that matter). If they want to play a character from whatever universe, as long as it's not a "Named Character," they're good (the example I give is "If you want to play Goten's long lost twin, Gotwenty, Goforit!"). They'll end up in the proper world eventually, either by magical means, or the Not-Loc-Nar.

So that's a little about me, my GM style, and some other random tidbits. I'll answer most any question, so yeah!

Hey there everyone, I am the red-hot mechanical bee of destruction-er somethin'. I got into RPGs with 3.5e but, my group so far has only hosted Pathfinder and one odd campaign of Starfinder.

Kinda alienates us from the surrounding 5e ALs springing around my place locally.
