Who was your first character to go from 1st level to the highest possible level in a given edition/What’s the highest level character you’ve ever run? This is another question that’s profoundly affected by my mostly playing DnD as either a DM or in a PbP capacity. I’ve started lots, I mean lots, of characters. In […]
What was the first dragon (or other powerful monster) your character slew? I’m pumped for this one, because I actually did kill a dragon!
First dungeon you explored as a player or ran as a DM? All of these questions about “firsts” are likely to get DM answers when that’s an option, because I played DnD for about three years before the first time I was a PC, and even with that group I pretty quickly became the DM. […]
Again, not exactly Day 2. But I’ll get caught up eventually. The questions for Day 2 are the same as for Day 1, only focused out instead of in. If I’m talking about the first person I introduced to DnD, then of course I’m talking about my little brother. This is not in any way to […]
I’m going to start by sharing something that I’ve learned about myself in the last twelve months: constantly having new games to play drastically affects the time I devote to writing about them. Who knew? That sounds sarcastic but is actually pretty genuine, at least in the sense that I never knew. The family computer […]
I made a Wiki. I’m working up another focused on the Tinderbox campaign. My sudden resurgence in Obsidian Portal related activity is tied into the potential for an actual, honest-to-pants, tabletop gaming group. I also created a googledoc analyzing 4e’s available classes, which I might import to here at some point. I tried to go […]
>I play a lot of Dungeons and Dragons. It’s all online via message board these days, though, and that’s a medium with a tremendous turnover and failure rate. Awesome game ideas crop up, recruit players, and then…well, not every game comes back after a three month hiatus. This means that I roll lots of characters, […]
>I'm a bad roleplayer. I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons, without significant gaps, for around 17 years. I built my first race about 12 hours after I first touched a PhB. By the time I finished high school six or so years later, I'd written two massive, sprawling campaign worlds, something like 30 races, a […]
>I’m going to talk about Tinderbox’s Beastmen, the faction probably closest to what could be termed “villains” in the setting. First, though something I was reading the other day has me thinking I really should come up with some other names with them. I don’t, in general, worry that my stance on anti-Common necessitates re-naming […]
>You know what’s cool? A-Z blogging is cool. Least, it seems to be; damn near every rpg blog I read regularly or recently is on that tip. And while I’ve rarely met a bandwagon I liked, this one dovetails nicely with my efforts to get more regular content updates running through Ego Poisoning. To that […]
