Gaming Overload!

in #gaming7 years ago

It has been 20 years since I've played D&D, but the opportunity has presented itself recently. First, I found this in the free library outside of Caffetto.

My dear friend and former Dungeon Master died the day before I found this, so I took it as a sign, and happily put the Player's Handbook into my backpack.
As I showed it off at the coffee shop, a few people showed interest in playing, and now, @mada is the Dungeon Master for @lukesona, one of the Caffetto baristas, and me.

I've never played as an elf or a magic user before, so my character is a Lawful/Evil elf cleric.
Her name is Vrana, and she is a cleric of the Dark Goddess Shar.

Behold the glory of Vrana!

So, I'm not really an artist...
She has a chakram(like Xena) and a scourge whip. Her tongue is sticking out, because she is just so EVIL!!!

Once a tenday, she must perform an act of wickedness for her goddess, which is where the whip comes into play. She can cast a paralysis spell(hold person) and then she goes to town with the whip:)

Speaking of wickedness, the new MTG set, Hour of Devastation was released yesterday.
Out of my packs, I got the Planeswalker Nicol Bolas.
@kommienezuspadt got me an early birthday present, a Magic deck with another Nicol Bolas planeswalker!

I've played a few games with @kommienezuspadt and @vermillionfox with mixed results, but once I get the hang of it, Nicol Bolas will be brutal.

Between the D&D and the new Magic cards, I will certainly not be bored any time soon.

On top of this, the new season of Game of Thrones starts tomorrow! I may never sleep...

Sorry to hear your friend died.. it's hard to find a really good DM... I had one but he left he's wife and moved away.. real nutjob, but a very good DM.

It's funny that nutjob and good DM are not mutually exclusive!
I believe @mada will be a great DM. He let us start at level 5 :D

Yes, good DMs are hard to find. Had a good one, but then i had to move to the other side of the world for work. Didn't find any local group, so had to start one myself. So no, not a very good DM ;-)

Those character sketches are pure gold! ✨

2nd books were great... I got a new 5th book for 40 bucks and it's falling apart

This is my first time playing anything other than 1st Edition. I honestly don't remember enough from before to know the difference.
40 dollar books should not fall apart...
