Dungeons and Dragons

I play DnD every week in a group of 5. Been playing the Spider Queen drow campaign for almost a year now (yes, a year, a lot of our sessions involve copious drinking and talking shit). I play the eternally jovial and often clueless bard. I die sooo many times but luckily we have a cleric with true resurrection and a Psionic. Next campaign I'm thinking either a cleric or a ranger.

I recently ended a over a year long campaign where i was playing a Dwarven Monk. So we started up next and my new character (Fighter) died in a month so now im trying a Barbarian instead. This summer have been great for this since we been playing for 14 hours a day two days in a row most times.

I’ve unlocked this thread, having noticed we have a few players here now. If only I could go back and tell 22-year-old me to try it sooner. So far I’ve only had session zero but I’m already excited.

Welcome aboard.  I love Dungeons and Dragons and am currently involved in 2 campaigns (one as player, second as DM).  In fact I am DMing a session on Friday night.

We should be having session one in a couple of weeks,DM said normally she likes to have players roll dice for their ability scores, but the dice gods were very cruel so standard array for me.

I love cruel dice gods as a player.  I actually love it when bad stuff happens to my characters.  I'd love to play a character with below average roles.  All of a sudden goblins are a brutal threat.

 

However as you're a newb then standard array is fine.

[RelentlessOblivion]

well,she had us roll four D6, discard the lowest, and add the rest, even with that on my side, and bonuses to Dex and charisma for my character’s race I had nothing higher then 8 somehow. She did say that next time I’ll have to keep my rolls though.

[Dead1]

Wow that's a brutal set of rolls.  Burn those dice.

 

What species and character class are you playing>

Dungeons & Dragons. My whole adolescence.

i’ve been watching a little bit of D&D content on YouTube before deciding to take up the game, so playing a less common race, tabaxi and a rogue, went high Dex, charisma, and constitution, with strength as the lowest ability score

Rogues are probably the most fun class to play.  They also make the most sense from a DND perspective of looting and murder hoboing!  My current character is a rogue too.

I think it just sounds fun to Solid Snake my way through a fantasy world…

Just a brief update: DM had the courtesy of calling me and letting me know the group I was going to be playing with have disbanded, at least I still have the character sheet.

That sucks.

 

Just spent last couple of nights finishing two adventures - 1st one involves a castle that is also a bridge that has been taken over by mutant cannibals including one with an organic chainsaw as a third arm, and a second one involving a missing person and a succubus.

[RelentlessOblivion]

Yeah but since they were a pretty small group. It makes sense to disband when two of the regulars about to move interstate. Anyway I can use the character in another campaign when I find a new group to play with. Besides chaotic neutral rogue probably didn’t fit the campaign based off the 47 Ronin.

Probably not.  You'd want to play lawful good!
