Re: Hello and Welcome New Members! Part 14
Hello! Long-time player, long-time lurker here.
I have decided to make a new campaign recently, as a GM, in 3.5 since it is, by far, my favorite edition. It will probably have lots of houserules.

Re: Hello and Welcome New Members! Part 14
Hello! I'm a fairly new wanderer into the strange forest known as Dungeons & Dragons and I've been enjoying every last step. DMing LMoP with my room mates, and then once we're wrapped up, Curse of Strahd is being played in a seperate campaign. Very excited too play that one rather then DM! This is all 5e, but I've been interested in possibly learning 4e or 3e for the experience alone. Hoping too make some friends here and too use the site as a great source for information, help, and great memories!
Can't wait too hop on and meet everyone!

Hello, humans! I exist now! Nice to meet you all! I'm Christal-Ruth, or just Ruth, and I've read this entire comic, I guess. Not the books though, I've not read those.

Re: Hello and Welcome New Members! Part 14
Heya! Second-gen D&Der here - I've been playing tabletop RPGs since I joined my dad's campaign group at age 12(ish), and I've been at it for more than a decade since, now mostly with my college & online friends. I've been reading OotS on and off for about that long too, but only this week binged the whole thing over again and caught up to the present! Excited to theorise with folks and maybe do some cool fanart or something. Using forums is really a blast from the past too, I haven't used anything but Discord for "fandom" stuff in years! Looking forward to it

Re: Hello and Welcome New Members! Part 14
Yo! My name is DiESF1RST (obvious gamer tag) but you can all call me Dies. I've been an on and off DM at the start of my college days, but since that's over and done with now, I'd lie to get back into DnD5e as both a player and DM! I'm really excited to be jumping back in and plan to make the most of it!!! All I ask is that you all forgive my horid spelling (even grammerly questions my words sometimes) lol

Re: Hello and Welcome New Members! Part 14
Kia ora!
I'm trying to get back into using forums rather than things like Reddit because I think there is something special to a forum that bigger social media platforms can't capture.

Re: Hello and Welcome New Members! Part 14
Greetings! Italian Karsus here. It seemed like a witty name at the time.
I'm looking specifically for Solauren, the guy who made a private crawl of the WotC forums in 2015. I can't seem to catch hide nor hair of him, I need 10 posts to e-mail, I hope I can find nine discussions to which I can contribute sometime this week. Or that he wanders in and checks his PMs... I do some archive work for the Forgotten Realms wiki.
Well, I'll go see if there's anything needing a perspective!

Howdy from Toon Town! I'm Roxby, Harold Roxby! King of Cartoons, Ruler of all Media, and Innocent Bystander. at your service. According to the words "King" and "Ruler" in my titles, I deserve and earn respect, but the trio of Cyber-Bullying critics has been shaming me for adding Canon-Related Characters in my Roleplays and my Fan Art and has been calling me a Gaslighter when I'm trying to be their REAL best friend and also blasphemer when I was explaining the facts about parody law. Despite what they blasphemed about me, I'm a good Crossover RPer and a Brilliant artist.

Re: Hello and Welcome New Members! Part 14
To quote a podcast that it's pretty likely most folk here have never heard of on account of it being about cricket (the sport, not the insect), and which is actually a pretty silly thing to quote because it's so utterly generic if one isn't familiar with said podcast, "Hello-o-o-o!"
Long-time reader (goodness knows how far back, but I'm pretty sure it was before the Great Kazoo art upgrade), first time poster, here.
I can promise my sentence syntax won't be this abstruse for every future post, but unfortunately I might slip into multiple sub-clauses from time to time, though I'm sure it will be a relief to most that I do at least try to avoid nested parentheses, or brackets as we call them in the UK—and for those wondering, we call these things: [] "square brackets" which is super imaginative, I know.
Anyway, as you might have gathered from my ramblings above, I enjoy language and its use, which is handy as I write and talk for a living. I've previously worked in nearly all the sectors that people tend to dislike (sales, parking enforcement, law, journalism, public relations—really, I just need real estate and politics for the set) but at least my current employer is still pretty well-loved by most fellow Brits.
I've been interested in role-playing games since I was a kid, but unfortunately the gaming club at school was affected by the "Bothered About Dungeons & Dragons" nonsense at the time so I didn't get to try hobby until I was 14. My oldest friend had acquired a series of books being marketed by their publisher as the "British D&D"—something the authors never claimed, as the tone was rather more Sapkowski than Gygax—and after a couple of games I was hooked.
About a decade later, I was very lucky to be invited by another friend to join a campaign also featuring those authors, whom he'd got to know after interviewing one of them for his college magazine. It transpires that, sometimes, meeting your heroes is actually OK, and I'm still gaming with most of the group today. As is my wife.
In any event, at one point a fellow player made a reference to the celebrated "Up a Level, Down a Level" strip and, after I'd found it online, there was some proper bingeing of what at that point was the entire archive, plus the incentives and other bonus content.
I've joined the forums today to make an observation inspired by the latest page, so I'll hop over to its thread in a moment, but as this one exists specifically for newbies to say hello, I thought it only polite to do that first!Last edited by Daisho; 2023-07-04 at 06:49 PM.

Re: Hello and Welcome New Members! Part 14
Greetings and salutations! Old guy here, recently returned to TTRPGs after having 30 years of life get in the way. My first experience was with AD&D first iteration, and David Hargrave's Arduin Grimoire. I'm currently playtesting my original LoTR-ish world and system. Looking forward to getting to know people. Discord: analogdude.

Re: Hello and Welcome New Members! Part 14
Hi all!
I'm actually a returning user, but I lost my old login email and information. If you happen to remember someone named "Soft Serve" that was probably me.
With the collapse of Reddit I'm happily returning to old vBulletin style communities for my TTRPG conversations, and I've been reading OOTS regularly all this time anyway, so GitP seemed like a natural place to make a triumphant return.
The fact that I'm doing it during the month of the 20 year anniversary of 3.5e, which was the game that got me into all this math rock rolling business in the first place, just feels like a perfect poetic circle.

Re: Hello and Welcome New Members! Part 14
Hi all.
Been using this forum for rulings/build ideas (and reading OOTS) since like 2015, but never made an account til now. Better late than never.
Also, had a question I wanted to ask, so there's that too.
