@Derpyfishnoms depends how long it's going to be! I know @Aviari made a separate thread for her Rise of the Runelords campaign log.
Separate thread worked well, then I could link my players to it as well and they could read it like a novelization.
Ran my first session I've ever played in the Forgotten Realms setting tonight! We had fun, my party had fun with my dungeon, the wizard that (once?) inhabited this tower was probably crazy and definitely expecting his kismesis to break in, not adventurers. So far, we learned that the party really struggles with ambush, and that the cleric/tank probably ought to back up the scout instead of the wizard, because the wizard can summon his own tank tyvm. (The wizard's tank is a celestial black bear. The wizard's player asked us what we should name the bear. @Anomal(eee) insisted that the bear's name is Jesse - so yes, we apparently can in extremity of need summon @jacktrash to be beardad for us.)
I love naming monsters/huge beasties completely mundane things. Husband's Goblin Cavalier (yes) eventually upgrades from a goblin dog to a warg. The warg was once the warmount of an orcish chieftain who was cursed upon capture to be bound to whoever lets her out of her cage, and she would be unable to kill him. The idea was that her captor would eventually let her out and have a war-warg. When Chauncey finds her, she does everything she can to stay in the dogdamned cage. The moral of the story is Chauncey names his Noble Steed "Reginald", and there is a growling response of "My name is Jessica, you jackass." Chauncey also doesn't know he's a goblin. He was raised as a hobbit with a skin condition, with a faithful dog that has the same affliction. The dog is entirely aware that is rider is a moron, but thinks it's hilarious.
Weren't Avi and Wax working on a Pathfinder group awhile back? Kintsugi's like 50% LGBT and full of nerds
at one point i was playing jethro as a goblin druid, and his polar bear companion was simply named 'paw'.
@jacktrash I remember that! Didn't he try to hang a BABY MURDERER sign around an elf's neck at one point?
I'm kinda looking for a group too! my only experience is with AD&D, though, which I get the sense nobody sensible plays, with my dad DMing, and, uh, my dad is not big into the roleplaying aspect. but I've got a character I really like (half-elf magic user/fighter/thief, with a +4 sword :D) and I'd loooove to get a chance to use her in a group, it's just that I don't know anyone with the time to DM, and I don't have enough either. so. if anyone on here is putting together a Kintsugi group, I'd love to hear about it!
well, let me and @thegrimsqueaker know when you're finished, I guess. but take your time, obviously, and spend your spoons as you see fit. :)
Oh hey, lookit that, I've been dragged here by wiwixia ^_^ Kind of lacking gocus/energy/spoons to write at any length rn, but wanted to say hi. I've been running a significantly houseruled whitebox campaign on and off since 2009 (itself a revival of my original campaign from omg 1992!), but after an absolute whirlwind of Terrible Things last year I haven't had the heart to pick it up again yet. Anyway, hi. I'll try to write something interesting at some point I guess.
i got invited to a d&d game and another player and i did character creation yesterday and they're playing a lizard wizard and my character's gender is NO!
So this may not happen immediately (or ever), but would anyone here be interested in a D&D 5e run of Maze of the Blue Medusa if I DMed? I kind of want to playtest it in a controlled environment and Kintsugi seems like a good venue
I've not tried 5e yet, but I'd be down to clown. Are there any classes or races you want to ban before game, like keep it to core or no CE/CNs? I don't know if alignment is as stringent in 5e as is was in 3.xe, but always good to ask.
@The Frood Abides heck yeah I'd love to be in one! although I don't have any 5e experience and you will thus probably have to explain a lot of things. :/
I love 5e and I'm super excited about gaming, but reading your description of the module in your earlier post, I'm a bit worried... I've never played anything that... serious? I guess is the word I'm looking for? More lighthearted story-focused games is most of my experience, and I'm worried I'd mess up really basic stuff and hold up a party in a survival scenario.
