so who out there plays D&D? I must know... I been playing since I was seven years old.. and I'm 19 now.. so thats like an eternity.

Neverwinter Nights is a D&D game, isn't it? So, yeah, I play a little. ^^

Rhin Beoulve · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 1:13 am

I play both. What now! Oooooh!

*Ahem* Sorry. Anyway, yeah, I love D&D a lot. I haven't been playing long, but it's still awesome. My friends and I just pulled a near all-night D&D stint last night. It was really fun. +3.

I don't think the video game version counts, here. I'm pretty sure Jenny is talking about the actual pen-and-paper game.

I played back in college, and have played a few rounds since, but so far haven't been able to find a good game to sit in on.

i was kinda referring to the book based game, but yes that is D&D based. there are a lot of those games out now, noteably W.O.W. which all my friends are addicted to. I do prefer regular D&D though. I like the human interaction.

All nighters are awesome. We just did a battle with a little black dragon and this really evil cleric and a few undeads, and an army of 600 corinthians trying to invade arboria... *ahem*... yeah. We. Kicked. Butt.

I was flingin magic missiles and lightning bolts, and my friend has this rock that summons a big earth elemental... so we had that sucker basically squash the cleric lady. it got to the point with the corinthians that we started fighting over who we got to kill. my sister (we play D&D as a family, along with one friend of mine) kept killing off all the guys, and everyone was ticked because they didn't get a chance to whack on any. obviously we didn't take on the army, but we did a lotta damage and killed off all their leaders.

EDIT: IJ, thats exactly what I meant.

I have had trouble finding a good game to sit in on as well. Most people here don't play my system, they're into the vampire stuff or futuristic or oriental adventures.

A notable moment was when our party was fighting a Corpse Hulk (our DM [Eldiran] made all of his own monsters/enemies), which had a damage absorption 5/+1*. Now, my character had the only magical weapon; he is a rogue. So while I was fighting this thing, the rest of my party fled out of the room and locked the door (there was a puzzle that unlocked the door, and they undid it). I proceeded to get beaten to a pulp by this monster while the rest of my party healed. But, because it was a Corpse Hulk, it devoured my corpse (and my equipment), so they had to fight it with regular weapons.

*For any non-nerds reading this, that means that he absorbs 5 damage from every strike, unless it is a +1 or more weapon.

ouuch... that would definitely suck. my mom almost lost a char when she got poisoned by a one-eyed basilisk. my char saved her by stickin this soul stealing necklace on her and then putting it on someone else's dead body by accident... that was interesting. she wandered around in a different body for like a year.

then an army of death worshippers (corinthians again) came to arboria and raised a buncha dead, so guess whose corpse came back to haunt her? yep. Dirana's body walked again. I ended up doing a restoration on the corpse and shoving it in a closet so we could try to get her body back. We actually did eventually.

but in the meantime, someone found her body in the closet and decided to play a joke on her. they put makeup all over her face and stucke her in a dress. when she came back to her own body, she was not a happy camper.

Pepperochu Pepperotyugh · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:04 am

Ah, non-videogame version.

I've always wanted to try it. It looks fun. ^^

Well, I'll leave y'all to your nerdery, then. xD

Choc-o-Lardiac Arrest · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:57 am

ahh, i knew you were perfect!

yeah, i play, but i like to mix it up in my games and make it something like D20 Modern.

Jenny · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 2:59 am

YOU GUYSSS! OMG I should totally make a "Homestar" campaign

Choc-o-Lardiac Arrest · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:00 am

too late, i allready did about a year ago.

Jenny · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:28 am

aw poo... beat me to it. well, i'm starting a homestar comic strip anyway in a few minutes here.

Choc-o-Lardiac Arrest · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:53 am

man! i need a scanner, my comics, You_Are_Above_The_System.exe are cool.

J-Man · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 11:45 am

I've played it for quite some time with my friends, although it's been a while since the last time we played. There's no proper choice I could choose from the poll, actually. I'm not a really hardcore D&D-player but, nevertheless, I have played and will play D&D in the future.

Jenny · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 3:31 pm

it's just a joke answer. i didn't mean for it to be exclusively for hardcore fans...

firemarc924 · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 5:49 pm

I play, but not very much. Its awesome 2 know other nerds out their who play dungeons and dragons. The board game rules, but i can find how people thimk its confusing.

Stu · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 8:06 pm

We just passed the 2-year mark for the campaign that I am playing in. We are stuck in Forgetten Realms, but we have done some planar travel (i.e. we wandered around a bit in the Dragonlance setting).

Lately our DM has been throwing a bunch of dragons at us. It seems that our party has an object of significant power that the goddess of all dragons wants all to her self. My wife (who plays the naivest of all paladins... if naivest is a real word) won't allow us to pawn it off on some unsuspecting temple, so every other week we are chopping up dragons.

The other notable trait to our party would be our uncanny knack for (accidentally) destroying towns. Whether by fire, armies of undead, floods of sewage, or peasant revolt, we almays manage to get ourselves on the "do not come back here" list.

Jenny · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 8:14 pm

Yeh, thats what makes the game fun... it's those things you build up after having played for a long time. Like my mom's character, Dirana, is always getting thrown in jail. And any ship our party gets on tends to meet a bad fate... needless to say, we have trouble chartering ships now after blowing up some, sinking some, and having some get attacked by monsters. I also think it is kind of cool to play with family and close friends, like you mentioned your wife. You really get to know people playing the game.

Even better is getting to flirt with, say, your DM's wife in front of your girlfriend and getting away with it.. "but honey, I was only playing my character.."

Er... :poop:

Jenny · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 8:34 pm

heh... yeah, i guess sometimes it definitely ISN'T a plus to play with family. but whoever you play with, you definitely get to know them pretty well.

Puphles · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 8:55 pm

Yeah, I play, but only the 4 real deal. Not the compy games or anything like that.

Didymus · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 10:10 pm

I used to play. I was a 6th level Elf Ranger named Melchanon. He was also a 1st level Deep Wood Sniper (that's a Prestige Class in 3rd Edition Rules), which really kicked his archery skills up a few notches. But, alas, that was years ago, and I don't really have anyone around here I can D&D with.

DESTROY US ALL! · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 10:35 pm

NEEEEEERDS!
Haha just joking. I could never get into that role playing stuff.

Rhin Beoulve · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 11:46 pm

Joking? I actually become offended whenever someone tells me that I am not a nerd. I am a nerd, and I am darn proud of it.

So, now it's my turn to make a campaign, and I need advice for making a short (nine or ten hours) campaign. Any ideas? I've got the basic plot worked out, and how my character will end up under the control of my party.

Jenny · **Posted:** Mon Jan 23, 2006 11:58 pm

Haven't done much campaign planning, I only DM'd once. What do you need suggestions for if you already have a plot?

Rhin Beoulve · **Posted:** Tue Jan 24, 2006 12:10 am

I said I had a basic plot. I need some cool events.

Stinko_sad · **Posted:** Fri Feb 03, 2006 2:48 am

I want to play badly but my father wont let me get it because He said it takes up to much time because he played it once in collage.

I will get it in july though for my birthday.

One question, When being the d-master do you read stuff out of the book or do you actully creat a majority of it?

you create a majority of it, whatever you want to make happen, you can make happen. for no reason at all, you can inflict them with the Airborn Plague and their campaign is to retrieve the Rare Brainstem of the Juk-nA'glict deep in the forest of Evil, and for every Round when in a combat situation, they lose like 2 HP due to the Airborn Plague, and at one point, when they come to a town called O'dwyer, they are treated with mobs of people attacking them, forcing them to leave without infecting the town. ohh man, this sounds awesome, i gotta start writing this up!

Jenny · **Posted:** Fri Feb 03, 2006 5:36 am

of course, if you do that... you will soon find yourself without any players... so a good suggestion is to make most events have a plausable reason behind them...
