Go Badgers! (OOC Area)

Raven - human druid

looking at Sorlock Divine Soul... not sure about the warlock focus yet though. Looks like we have probably have healing and buffs covered!

Abigail is dedicated support; every single one of her abilities is a utility of some sort, with the goal of keeping her allies safe and sound. It helps that our DM has walked me through some magic basics.

EDIT: I just looked up what a Divine Soul is (that never showed up in BG3) and I think there's a unique opportunity to invest in Dipper's lore here. From where does this divine blood originate? One of the gods? And, come to think of it, what divine beings have existed in this world?

@Dipper?

Right, im going to try and integrate the lore, the gods etc... as the source of his divine spark, That said however there is also going to be a twist thrown in there. Dont want to give it away but it will be in my hidden background.

Hes also part of the Noble caste and its part of his blood line... related to second soul ritual.

I know sorlocks have a reputation for being OP... but im trying to create a good RP character and not a DPS monster. With my Cha as high as it is Im also thinking of getting the leadership feat but will reconsider if someone already has it.

Sorlocks can definitely get a little crazy depending on how you build them. I have one in another game, they are fun. I'm not OP there mainly because the beast barbarian destroys everything before I can even move :)

Here's a fun little tool for all of you, in case you're curious about how the height comparisons play out between you:

I'll add Basil to it once I've got data on his character.

So, Hufflefluff, what are your all's roleplaying experiences? Any horror stories to tell?

Starts a bonfire.

Jian-Roh is also a glass cannon, he's a half-elf Warlock Hexblade

No horror stories to tell really, just been playing on and off for about four decades, always a fun time. This site is particularly great.

I've been roleplaying freeform since 2017, but this is *technically* my first real tabletop game. I completed a solo campaign on RPGX, but that's it. One game at a bakery lasted 3 sessions, and another game on Discord didn't even last that long :3

I played age 10 through 30, took a few decades off when the kids were small, now back playing PbP last 5 or so months. No horror stories really, a bunch of disappointments with games failing at or shortly after launch, so hoping to avoid that with this one.

Started with the old D&D red box set. Still have it with the ugly bubble gum colored dice.

But do you still have the crayon for the dice!

I got some questions regarding this yearly pilgrimage to the Olde Crypts. Given that they do it every year, what is the boy so afraid of? Do people rarely ever return or something? Why do they keep doing it if people keep dying? And if they don't keep dying, then why's the boy so scared?

Alas, I do not

Can you tell us about any past games? Any favs you'd like to share?

Honestly the most memorable games were from college, so 35 years ago, probably 2nd edition. After finals week every semester our DM ran a one shot, all night, 20th level and pretty much any character concept. We'd start right after dinner and pretty much finish around breakfast. Didn't matter what you played, sentient iron golem, death knight, lich, dragon, full multi classed fighter/cleric/magic user - usually we were fighting a full god or demon lord, so we were constantly fighting for our lives. Things definitely get loopy after 3am when sleep deprivation really starts settling in but you've been playing for 10 hours but finally getting close to the finish.

Now days 9pm I'm ready for bed :)

And now I see all these retro campaigns to run Caves of Chaos from the box set (I'm even in one of those). The classics are new again!

Dang, even I usually go to bed around 2 am, and I'm a certified night owl. Don't really know what a "box set" is, though.

How much experience have you had with pbp? I understand, in the context of tabletop, it's rather uncommon, but all of my experience can count as play-by-post, albeit with less structure.

One of the first versions of D&D was Basic D&D which came in a Red Box which had the rules, dice, etc in it. It included the module Caves of Chaos, which is a dungeon crawl, kill everything that moves module. It is kind of strange to now see it played with modern concepts of goblins having identities where back then they were just vermin to be massacred with everything else.

I played about 2 years of PbP (via email) around 20 years ago and now I'm back for about 5 months now. I am not a naturally good writer, so PbP is definitely challenging for me. I've been really enjoying it so far, although I have not been very lucky on games as I've already had many fail. Really looking forward to this one and hoping for something with more longevity.
