@ Jabes,

Mostly directed toward you and your character anyway in regards to Sheila and Bobby being siblings.

In some sources their names are listed as Sheila and Bobby O'Brian, but considering appearances and at least Sheila's fashion choices and being named the Thief, I was wondering if they might actually be the love children of Fred Jones and Daphne Blake? In later adaptations of Scooby Doo, Daphne has learned to pick locks and is dead on an older looking version of Sheila. The timing is also right, as the Scooby Doo gang started off in late '69 and D&D began in '85 (approximately 16 years apart).

I literally laughed out loud at the Fred/Daphne angle. If you make that game canon, you get the game's first Inspiration!

LOL! I'm game for it if Jabes is.

Well, that took a dark turn...

I feel like I'm not contributing much to this group, but so far this has been a great ride. I can't wait until we actually start playing. :-)

I'm trying to finalize my character sheet.
1. How are we doing HP? Rolls, or average increase?
2. Are Optional Class Features in play?

Also, how would you prefer to handle Presto's spells? Does he get the standard "two per level", or would you like him to have found some more to copy into his book?

Today I wrote a 2-page history of Diana's life between escaping the Realm and the start of this game. You know, normal stuff. ;)

@JoshuaMabry I see what you did there. That's the voice actor's last name, right?

I remember when I had a schedule that allowed that sort of work on my character. Good times.

I hoped no one would find that tragic ending scenario.
The '...and they all died' thing was from a horrible comic which I tracked down recently, and it's certainly not canon. Bad art, bad story, just bad. :P

how easily a bunch of kids dealt with a dragon goddess :P

Although promotional blurbs show the kids fighting Tiamat, the kids only fight her twice (as seen in "The Night of No Tomorrow" and "The Dragon's Graveyard") - Tiamat's main quarrel is with Venger.

Oooh it says she was voiced by Frank Welker! Didn't he also voice Megatron?

We're so badass at 20th level we don't even need a healer! I mean, Bobby was soloing Tiamat at 1st level!
