DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
WOC2173672_500.jpeg

You at least vaguely know about DnD if you are posting on this forum. What you may not know is that the game released it's 4th edition this year, which is very newbie friendly. I haven't played 3e or 3.5 or what have you, I jumped on the 4e bandwagon.

WHAT YOU NEED :
The Player's Handbook - Basically the Player's Bible
MapTools - a client that allows for online game sessions like the one that I may do, WHO KNOWS
Ventrilo- Yeah you probably already have this wait do we even have a server still?


WHAT YOU MAY WANT BUT DON'T REALLY NEED :
The Dungeon Master's Guide - If you are considering running a game, you need this.
The Monster Manual - See above. Also contains some neat stuff, such as options for player races not found in the PHB.


HEY MAYBE I AM DMING A GAME:
Yeah, I am interested in DMing a game with you guys. I have never DMed before so hey this could be a total disaster! If you are interested, say something. The guidelines aren't really strict. Everything from the big 3 and the Forgotten Realms' Guide are fair game.

No I am not going to say "Roll for Initiative".

    No, it's why he won't get laid by an atractive woman he didn't have to pay.

    Online DnD'ing like this always actually seemed fun to me and not as embarassing.
    Too bad all I know about DnD is what it stands for.

    I will sign up for this, I'll even make a character because I'm a huge nerd and I think it's kinda fun. Also, I would like to take this opportunity to shame Meta Dust for abandoning Marsh's game. There were so many amazing moments.

    I'm actually going to DM a game for some people I know at school once we get back, I'm interested to see how it will go. I've got most everything down on paper, I'm just having a little difficulty figuring out how to make the end-boss.

    I've never been in a RPG group that didn't have at least one woman in it, and my current group includes two married couples.

    I'm still desperately lonely though, so there's that.

    alternatively is your mom dead because she saw twilight and let a hobo with aids bite her in hopes of becoming a shimmering vampire?

    is that what it is blank?

    did she die being lame?

    Just one.
    It was ok, but then she started trying to act like we were dating or something

    all buying me food and sitting next to me and stuff.


    in retrospect I probably should have been ok with that.

    I purpose that she was infact not atractive, but rather you have incredably low standards.
