Some friends of mine just got me hooked on D&D. Anyone else play? My favorite character so far is a klepto-rouge I named Garret. (Kudos to whoever gets the reference.)

I used to play a wannabe necromancer. Raided a dungeon once and used a dwarf as a battering ram on some doors because he kept failing his lockpick rolls.

Same addy, someone got paralysed by a coffin crawler, which we then slew. Then we picked up a half eaten nearby corpse and pushed it against the face of the paralysed player. Before wearing the coffin crawlers corpse because I thought it might make a handy rope.

Couple of addy's later, we blew up a bar with some gunpowder. Tested the strength by putting it in a mug and blowing some NPCs head off. Fun times. Dwarf didn't get out of the room fast enough but was so tough that he ended up just a little singed.

Addy after that, we were really drunk and one guy got castrated. I used necromancy to try and fuse his separated bits together, we rolled one dice for length and one dice for shortness. The sum of the two would give the final length (IE roll 12 for long and 6 for short = 6"). Sadly we borked the roll, ended up with 6 long and 19 short. We decided to make it an inverted hole into the magic realm which performed much like Presto's hat from D&D the cartoon.


Yeah, fun times, far too much beer.

Woah, and the crazyest idea I ever had was turning a bag of holding inside out and punching things with it.

I didnt play much.  I was always the DM, starting around 1978 until late in second edition AD&D.  My style was very off-the-cuff - almost never using modules, preferring a narrative style over dicemongering.

'course, I also had practically every sourcebook available, and just about had them memorized.

I miss those old days.
God, I'm old.

Decimator, I just downloaded that program, and am trying to slog my way though it. Seems simple enough to use though. You use it?

Yeah, I worked on making my own tabletop game for use with it.  I failed miserably on the tabletop game, but I learned how to use the program properly.

Well, Legionnared, we'd probably need someone who has actually DMed before, seeing as I have never played D&D before.  Obviously I can't be DM then. :p

I DMed once, but it was pretty much a joke. Pulled stuff out of the monster manual and then just made it up as I went :).

Everyone had fun though. You're right though. Anyone else in on it?

I play some regular MP NWN, its quite nice. No DM tho, no real need if you pick a nice module.

Currently doing Mines of Moria. It seems a bit buggy, but the same author did another great addy, "Strife in Grimbone". You should check his stuff out. I usually review everything I play, as Necrosis of course.

Very very good fun. Falls down flat on the whole RP side of things - but then thats what BB rpgs are for.

But if you have a DM, can't you enforece the RPing aspect? (keep in mind i'm a D&D nub).

For me, it's all about the funneh ones. Which is that really popular one? OH, it SOO owns. Er.. Hm, ... Penultima, yeah! That would be UBAR fun with a good/silly DM and a buncha LMers, FUN TO THE MAX!!

I guess I can DM then, I'll just have to run you guys through one of my adventures with arbitrary rolls and rules :). Should be good fun for everyone involved though (Including DOOManiac, who wants to play too.

Everyone download openRPG, and familiarize yourself with the program. I'll see if I can't get a copy of the monster manual and put together an adventure.

What time works for everyone? I'd like to do it in the afternoon, or on a monday/wednesday evening (my only free evenings of the week.)
