D&D Club

The saddest death I've ever died
Was as a bird bard, trapped inside
A cave without the room to fly.
And in our party, although I
Cared most about getting outside,
Our holy warrior, ever wise,
Refused to cede a prisoner
(Who I really did care nothing for)
To guides who'd show us to the light.
And so, he made us stand and fight.

My birdy bard was rather frail,
And trapped inside that earthen jail
Of caverns where wings could not work
He was beheaded by an orc.
At minus twenty-one HP,
There really was no hope for me.
Though he'd lived a life quite fine,
Filled with songs, journeys and wine*,
Right there, it came to a sharp end
That none of our magic could mend**.

*Oh, how he loved his wine.
**We were hoping to fix that before our game fell apart, though...
 
Hehe nice to see this place alive again.

Anyway, I'm running a game for a few people that go on here (moon-panther, Sunflower, Zora, DJ P0N-3, Dark Shocktail), that I have a stupidly large amount of doodles for.

My characters can be found here (though I need to update Tura's sheet, he's gained a level...)

I kinda wanna start a thread for a bunch of custom Pokemon D&D stuff me and Zora are doing..maybe when I have more together for it.
 
One time I was doing this campaign where our DM also waned our characters to have actual jobs (Not just like "Oh hai I'm a druid this is all I do EVER") and I was a barbarian that doubled as a cobbler. We had to get some information from the local law enforcement, so I decided to try to charisma them with my wild shoe making abilities. Iirc, I rolled a natural twenty, and then began to gather the most random and incoherent items (a beehive, somewhere like thirty pine cones, 1/2 a jar of preserves, etc.), and I made like two or three shoes with all of that. Needless to say, they were the most amazing shoes ever, and we got the info we wanted.
 
I really really want to do an evil campaign. Every character I play comes off as a bitch, so I might as well be evil! Lawful Evil... then I can have some sort of vendetta!.... Oooo I think I got a character....

The one campaign I am now in
Is, in fact, one full of sin.
My character, for one, aspires
To gain the power of hellfire
And to comandeer a Hell
And so far, she's doing well.

Her allies, with different aims,
Are Mal, Erato, Tele and Dei.
Dei Stausor's a Tiefling who meddles with matter,
Who hopes to some day, take the batter
Of our raw reality
And bake a world as he would see.
Mal'reth is a Sun Elf, with an oversized sword
Who above all else, certainly himself adores.
With his psionic powers, he impresses his will
On all those who can stand it (and the others, he kills).
Telemachus is an Aasimar,
And he has quite lowered his race's bar
With his selfishness, and with his greed.
So many are his evil deeds!
So that leaves us with Eratosthenes
Our connoisseur of fungal thingies,
A man who seems without his mind
(He's lucid maybe half the time.)

As of last session, our list of deeds,
Makes up with "long" what it lacks in obscene:
We've slain a whole army of orcs;
Killed an innkeeper; made quick work
Of dwarfs inside a giant walker,
We nearly killed a giant hawk- err,
(I guess it was more of a kenku.
But he wouldn't shut up, so you
Really didn't care too much
About that bit, or not as such;
It really might have all been fine
If he weren't CAW-ing all the time,
But) we've killed two dragons who got in our way,
And sacrificed, I cannot say
How many people to evil forces.
We've killed soldiers, too;
We've slain their horses.
We built a pyre outside a cave
And burned the bodies of orcs we'd slain
Where those who managed to outlast
Their friends would smell them. It's been a blast.

Though being evil's int'resting,
You get used to it, then you think,
"It's kind of dull now. I think I should
Look into playing someone good."

(And honestly, I've yet to see
A place where my morality
Would truly let my nature shine.
I'm talking, putting out a fine
Product or service of some sort,
Which would appeal to purer hearts,
But charging souls, and selling wide,
Across the many countrysides
Of our vast world. Bureaucracy
Could too, then, be brought up by me!
I could form a legal firm!
Why, think of all the gold we'd earn!
All the possibilities...
Oh, some day soon. Eventu'lly.)

How long does it take you to write these? You my friend are insane.

A legal firm? Sounds awesome. I can see some major gold, and most of it would come from former player characters wanting to not get sued for mass damages.

Maybe I will play a giant tree
Yes, with a poet's soul in me
Would that make me a poet tree?


Yeah I can't join you in your poems Zecora.
 
Ooh, D&D club! Can I join?
I'm an elven Ranger/Sorcerer with a Magpie familiar that quotes Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I specialize in Summoning and Enchantment spells. Which was kind of annoying in the last dungeon. Because all that we fought were skeletons, both of my weapons are piercing, and I have a weapon enhancement that makes my weapons do 1d6 extra cold damage. Which skeletons are immune to. The most damage I did was by summoning a celestial dire badger.
...
It died in two rounds.

You rang?
Anyhow yes, I'll join for posterity. And what a lovely party we have. A timid as hell Drow, a very very short (lolshort) girl of a custom race based on Lucario, a paladin who swears like a sailor, A voice-of-reason Tiefling, two Kobolds and an attention-deficit Dragonborn (who's played by me).

And lots of dragons. Loooots of dragons.
 
I began playing D&D at the beginning of the school year. It's been awesome. See, we actually have a club at school (appropriately known as GEEK) that is basically playing games after school, one of which has been D&D (1st edition or advanced or something like that).

The adventure is still going now, with 2 and a half days of school left, and we're supposed to be wrapping it up. I play as a human fighter that used to suck but has recently become kind of awesome. We have a large party: an elvin magic user that almost died last session, a human ranger, a half-elf druid that I had to save, an elvin cleric, a half-elf cleric-thief, a magic user hobo that we just met, a really inexperienced thief, and two NPCs, the Pretoria (human fighter) and some half-orc guy whose name I can't remember.

We've had a few other small adventurers too, but they aren't very important. I've always played as a fighter or ranger, since those seem simplest. I just don't really get how spells work :(

Since the adventure is kind of long, most details can be found here, with me being Anetha Harthad. I guess I apologize for my friends' apparent inability to capitalize, punctuate, and separate things into paragraphs.
 
I'm here!
I play D&D, especially Gamma World.
I'm starting a game with some of my friends very soon. I'll probably be a Halfling or Dragonborn, unless someone tells me I should pick a different race.
 
Be an Elf. Elves are awesome. Or a half-Elf. Or a gnome. By the way, here's a tip: Never play a gnome barbarian.
 
I will probably be an Elf Rouge

EDIT: Because the DM is great at making new races, I am a Drider Rogue. My entire party gets unlimited rope and I can climb walls. So awesome.

Unlimited rope. Yeah, guess what?
They'll have to grab it from your butt.
Sounds gross to me, but what do I know?
I guess it could be worth a go.

(And it was no race in 3.5e;
It was a template, actually.
Still, since it was +2 level advancement,
I'm sure that a race would be a great enhancement.)
 
While I do not have real tips,
I do know where you'd get equipped
To better play your spider-man
In the best way that you can.

This first page, I just found with Google.
(Try it some time! You will find oodles
Of stuff you never needed to know!)
This page is rich in fact, although
So much seems rooted in 3.5e
Which is not what you're using, if I guess correctly?

A second page here, from the official site
For Dungeons and Dragons, I do hope still might
Be useful for you even after the first.
It will be redundant, I hope, at the worst.

What these both say is that you have a curse,
Or call it a blessing! Still, you're but versed
In what you knew before your behind,
Replaced by a spider's, became lost to time,
And know who you knew,
Though I'd want to know who
Would keep up with a Drider.
Do they need an insider
To perpetrate some kind of crime?
And do tell, has it been much time
Since undergoing the transformation?
(I'll wait now, in anticipation.)

(But really, to help figure out
How you should act with the least doubt
I'd want to know who you will play.
I expect no reply today.)
 
We finished our adventure today, and will be playing a sequel adventure next school year.

It was awesome today, since we had to finish the plot. We basically started a war between some ogres and orcs, then got a magic user to teleport us to a port town that was like a hundred miles away so that we wouldn't be killed. Now we are on the outskirts of town with a mysterious scepter and our resident magic user infected with typhoid fever (he was attacked by an Odiug or however you spell it). There is also an orc or half-orc that is a fighter-assassin and he heard the magic user's name, so now he's hunting us down for killing his master (which is how we started the war).

Also, for some reason everyone wants to buy ships. I want to explore one of the dungeons that we didn't get through very much, but it's near the war-ridden place and kind of far away now, so maybe not such a bright idea.

Well, you were partially wrong,
I was a Drider all along!
Born a spider, not a Drow.
(But I still do like the taste of cow.)
Not chaotic, just plain bad,
Wow, aren't Driders rad?
 
Otyugh.
Anyways, just finished another session with our dungeon master. We all leveled up. It was awesome. I killed a zombie with PC class levels. And I GOT A FOUR! About sixteen times. Except one time when I GOT A NINE! (YOU KNOW, BECAUSE THE BOOTS GIVE A +5.) Also, apparently I, the party's tracker, forgot to put any ranks into survival. I feel like an idiot.
 
Oh wait I forgot to mention a great D&D experience.

So, some of our club members were DMing their own mini-adventures, and in one we had to raid a castle. We were exploring the castle, and one of our thieves tried to steal a lamp, which was a lamp with a djinn (or was it a genie?) in it. So, he had one wish and then had to set him free, or else the djinn would kill him. He wished for a Bag of Holding with some amount of rubies in it worth some amount of GP each, although he added a bunch of stuff so that he ensured he was to be teleported to the floor below, with the bag in his possession, perfectly safe, etc.

So, the DM found a little loophole like DMs are bound to do with wishes, and since the thief wished for the bag to be in his hand, the DM put the bag in his hand. We basically had to cut his hand off and rip it apart to get the bag, but in the end we got it. So, the adventure was ending, and we all asked for experience. Since we got so many rubies, we ended up getting 160 million exp, which bumped us all up in to low- to mid-seventies levels. The DM realized just how badly he had screwed up, and then we all started to calculate our health gleefully. We miscalculated it (apparently after level 11 or something you're only supposed to get 2 or so HP per level) and all had like over 700 HP.

We never let him live it down.
 
BUMP

So I am thinking we should start a TCoD DnD campaign... this seems like the logical place to start. Anyone interested?
