Hello and Welcome New Members Thread 8

[Roland St. Jude]

Welcome to the eighth incarnation of the popular Welcome thread for new members.

If you are new, feel free to post your greetings and salutations here.

If you are old, feel free to stop by from time to time and welcome the new folks to the playground.

Regardless of your current status, new or old, welcome to the Playground.

(Please do keep non-salutation conversations to a minimum, here, random banter is there for a reason. Also, be kind to new posters. No hazing, organ harvesting, or other threats, no matter how silly.)

Hello, new playgrounders!

[Recaiden]

Hello, Jokasti!

[Blue Ghost]

Welcome to the Playground, one and all... um, Jokasti and Recaiden.

[Jokasti]

I see you shaved. Is that so you don't scare the newbies anymore?

[BlueWizard]

A little hello, from the Blue Wizard.

It's to lull them into a false sense of security.

JABBERWOCK! GEDDIT!

[Amel]

Where's the vorpal sword when you need it!? Snikker snak!

[dcb42]

Right, so, um... hi, an' stuff!

[Eloi]

Hi, I'm still new here, I think. Well I haven't been here for a month, so I count that new.

Welcome Divine Coffee Binge 42!

[DavtehProphet]

Hello, I'm Dav.
I'm an avid fan of the d20 system recently converted by a bunch of books my grandfather gave me, with the insistance that I was 'into this stuff.'
I've played one or two long term campaigns, which I enjoy. What really gets me, however, are the one shot 'pick up games' I play in real life. The kind of games that you play in their entirety in the back of the laundromat, from character creation to final encounter.
I love non-core rules. I bought a copy of the Elements of magic, Revised edition, as well True Sorcery. Both awesome.
I've been tossing around an Idea of late, of a savage world with a similar geography to earth (Saves me some trouble).
Anyhow, here's a hearty welcome to myself!

[Lyra Reynolds]

Um, hi! Long time lurker, finally decided to make an account.

I'm a 27-year old female Dutchie. I've been playing D&D for a few years now, reading OotS for about as long. I currently play in 2 campaigns, a female Changeling Rogue named Lyra Reynolds (yes, first name from His Dark Materials/The Golden Compass, last name shamelessly stolen from the good Captain Tightpants) and a male Changeling Bard named Lux. I also DM my own (Steampunk) campaign for nearly 2 years now and I don't think I could miss it anymore! My group of players is insane, but that's nothing out of the ordinary. They're also all female, and I don't know if it's because of that, but I've had to houserule pregnancies, became the proud NPC father of one of my PC's baby, and a couple of months ago I ended up proposing marriage to one of my players - her character had been flirting with one of the NPCs for a while and he finally got up the courage to ask her. Thank God she accepted. XD (And the rest of the party cheered and "aw"ed!).

I expect I'll mostly be lurking but... here I am. :)

[Kobold-Bard]

How did it take 11 posts for a new member to post?

@Lyra: Get ye to Dallas-Dakota, (s)he needs more Dutchies to revitalise your nation's meetup (assuming Dutchie = of the Dutch national persuasion).

Welcome all new members both before, behind and parallel to my post!

[Kallisti]

Kobold-Bard, how dare you snub the new members betwixt the post?

Because they're evil that's why

[For Valor]

...Define "new"...

[Kallisti]

I thought pixies were always Neutral Good?

[Amel]

I thought pixies were always Neutral Good?

I'm Lawful Evil, soooo.... Yay for evil Pixies!

[Kallisti]

But with the SRD proven wrong, RAW itself will collapse.

I hope you're happy, Amel.

Can't you see me smiling? Besides, and this may be the 2nd ed. lurking in my brain, but I seem to recall an evil pixie called a Brier Pixie. The 2nd ed. won't get out of my mind!!!

[GaiTavMag]

I had to go to three different versions of this thread to get to one I could actually post on.

WOW, this forum's been around for a while.

....hi.

[rotopagsu]

-Confused.- I think this is where I say hello, but I could be sadly mistaken. Anyway, i'm new. Hello all.

[banjo1985]

*waves hello to all that are new*

*glares mistrustfully at the other posters he already recognises*

...you'll do the same after a while, trust me.

[Temotei]

I thought pixies were always Neutral Good?

That only applies about 99% of the time, methinks.

[sol-decentguy]

Hello OOTS world, planning on trying to stay on topic as best I can. Nice to meet you all

[RipperOfShirts]

Hi all. Just read through the entire comic and decided to join the forums. I've been gaming for a few months now, mostly only intro games, with only one 'campaign' which lasted about 15 sessions. Anyone wondering about the name, it's a running gag with my housemate. We deliberately set ourselves up for disappointment,upon which we loudly cry "NOOOOOOOOOO!!!" and rip the shirt we are wearing off our backs. Because there's not enough dramatic moments in real life so we feel the need to create them.

I approve of this so much it's a shame I'll never be up this late (by my standards) ever again. Keep up the good work.
