For all your out of character needs!

So to let you all know a little about me, I am 48 years old with a gamer wife and two gamer children. I have been playing D&D first 1st edition so I have a lot of experience with an equal amount of old cruft I need to make sure doesn't leak into the newer ruleset. I am a molecular biologist, a passable home cook, a Doctor Who fanatic, a Magic and Pokemon player, and have a general interest in everything.

This will be my first time running a D&D game on Gamers Plane and my first game since so many of the fancy bells and whistles have been added to the platform. So, if there are specific features that you think would be useful for the game, you may have to remind me they exist and teach me how to use them. I am trying to come up to speed via the tutorial threads but I am learning as I go.

I am based in the Central Time Zone and will likely post in the early morning or later evening. Middle of the day posts are possible if I am procrastinating at work.

Hello! Glad to be here!

So... A little intro - I'm 22, currently studying my major in biology, working on plant AMF project.

I've been into DND and other tabletops for 6 years, am currently wrestling with SWADE, soon i will be confident enough in my knowledge to run my first game.

Time zone? - GTM +3

I am usually posting throughout the day or roughly round the midnight.

About the character - Will be playing a reborn marine researcher. Probably a wizard or a ranger.

Hi, folks! Thank you for having me here! For those that don't already know me, I'm Jabes, 48 year old RPG addict and pastry chef from the Philippines.. I ran a cake shop for quite a few years where we made geeky cakes, including these D&D-themed ones, before the pandemic put us out of business.I've been playing RPGs since 1987, active Gamers' Plane member since early 2015. I'm really looking forward to this adventure!

P.S. My timezone is GMT+8 but my posting time is all around the clock! 😆

Well, I'm runekyndig and I have been playing RPGs for over 20 years, being 44 years old, husbond and father.
I work as a data scientist / Business Intelligence consultant.

Hi all!

Just the little intro. I am in my early 40's from the Netherlands.
I have been playing D&D since it was still in second edition. I picked up D&D again when the lockdowns started.
Currently I am in two video games and in a few games on GP. Running a Witchlight game and a Disney-themed game here as a DM.
I love to figure out the technical possibilities of GP.

I will be playing a sea elf rogue swashbuckler

Hey,

I'm an oldie being that I'm 59 and yeah, I been playing D&D since it came out. Lived in other countries, but now in Illinois, USA. I read posts usually multiple times a day and tend to be rather active. Despite the fact that English is my only language, it has been noted well that mine is lacking at times.

Lets have some fun.

Man, nice to see I'm not the token old-timer. 😂

I'm 44, a single dad, and have been playing RPGs for about 32 years... started with AD&D and the old Marvel FASERIP system. I've done a lot in my years, including a stint in the Marines, a medical assistant in a cardiology office, a mover, almost 14 years (on and off) as a cook, a little retail, went from doorman to asst. mngr at a club, and currently working for a long-time friend who started working as a general contractor. Still not sure what I want to be when I grow up.

I'm PST/GMT -8. Posting is consistantly sporadic... that is, I'm on most every day but there's no set time. Sometimes I wake up early, othertimes I don't get a chance to post until late.

Can I assume everyone is pretty much complete? DM do you have an ETA?

Tonight depending on how many trick-or-treaters are in my new neighborhood.

Great 1st posts, Verrain! I'm excited!

I started at the thesis defense rather than the first team chapter. Assuming most, if not all, PCs are in atttendance, might get a few interactions with the other team if anyone's interested. 🙂

I suppose I should ask at the start... just how well is my reputation known around the Nyr Dyv?

On one hand, I'm not from the immediate area... on the other hand, pirate.

If you were mostly a pirate on the sea, then you would not have much of a reputation here except among those that also made the switch from sea to lake sailing.

That's probably for the best. Lol

Is Renya also being kicked out?

The hall is being cleared for the defense. Everyone is being escorted out.

Question for team Blue...aka The Gilded Perch. Renya(Bubbles) has asked if we have any PCs with a smiting background. Our characters don't so I figured I'd check. Or maybe someone could switch h a tools proficiency to have the knowledge?

If not...perhaps one of our NPC crewmen might be good enough?

Renya can get it for 10 min, as feature.... but she's a researcher so it is only logical that she will ask around before attempting anything herself...

Sorry for the delay. That pesky real life reared its head. If I missed responding to anything, let me know.
