Hi, everyone. Good to see this clan has started rolling.
Man, where's that rimshot smilie when you need it?
*rimshot*
Also, if you haven't already, check out one of the lone wolf books I linked to earlier. They are soooo good.
Funniest RP experience for me:
Drunken Dwarven Warrior Leader: To join our band, you must answer one question. How does a real man eat his steak?
(Us, after deliberating): Raw? Drunken Dwarven Warrior Leader: Wrong! He walks up to a cow and bites it! You lose.
Drunken Dwarven Warrior Leader: To join our band, you must answer one question. How does a real man eat his steak?
(Us, after deliberating): Raw? Drunken Dwarven Warrior Leader: Wrong! He walks up to a cow and bites it! You lose.
That's awsome.
I have a good one too.
A dwarven fighter (who I happened to be playing) randomly started wondering around town wearing a toga. No real reason behind it, I just though it'd be funny.
My party threatened to start attacking me, so I had to take it off.
I must direct the attention of this clan to a wonderful movie called The Gamers. It's a college film based on a group of D&D gamers playing their favorite game. We watch as their characters come to life as they role play, to heroic, disasterous, and.. really really funny results.
Feel free to buy the DVD, but you can easily find the movie on a torrent site.
Best quotes/moments from the movie:
The rogue begins picking the pockets of a patron at the bar: Rogue: "I wanna steal his pants."
DM: "You're not serious."
R: "I am serious."
DM: "Why do you want his pants?"
R: "I don't them, I just wanna see if I can steal 'em."
DM: "Fine, roll it, but you suffer a -8 penalty for difficulty."
R: <roll>
DM: "I don't believe it..."
The party is confronted by a big ugly barbarian warlord! The rogue sneaks into backstab position... DM: "You're going to backstab him... with a ballista?"
R: "Uh huh."
DM: "With a ****ing seige weapon?"
R: "Uh huh!"
DM: "Okay, there's gotta be a rule against this..well, that's 264 points of damage."
This and a lot more await you in one of the best D&D movies I've ever seen!
@AL: ROFL!!!1!1! I don't think we even need to see the movie. Those quotes have me practically crying because I'm lauging so hard. Oh god, that's great. It also reminds me of a few other hillarious things from various places which make it even more funny. That was just awsome.
Wow Alacar that movie sounds freakin hilarious. I might need to go and watch that, even though I dont play D&D, I still could easily understand and enjoy it i hope. Is it easy to understand for non D&D players or would I be left in the dust?
Hey, great clan! I would like to request friend status. I have been playing various RPGs for over 10 years now.
My favorite is second edition D&D: Forgotten Realms specifically.
I also play:
The old TSR Marvel Superhero system
World of Darkness
Star Trek: a custom version we created which fuses various aspects from the two main systems
Star Wars: old d6 system
Warcraft: D20 system
Final Fantasy: Homemade system by one of my good friends
I both play and run games.
Basically, I would like to join to discuss character concepts and campaign concepts for games I'm running. I want to avoid personally getting into any 1st vrs. 2nd vrs. 3rd edition D&D arguments; it's simply a matter of preferance I wont debate it one way or the other.
Wonderful link! Hilarity! I appreciate the link, but I'll do even more!
2 MP3s. One of which is from Steven Lynch, as heard on the Dr. Demento Show. It's called D&D, and the name fits quite well.
I've got my twelve sided die and I'm ready to roll with a wizard and my goblin crew.
My friends are comin' over to my mom's basement bringin' funyuns and a mountain dew.
{I got a big broad sword made out of cardboard and that stereo's a-pumpin Zeppelin.
It's that time of the night we turn on the black light let the Dungeons and the Dragons begin.}
It's D and D!
Fighting with the legends of yore.
It's D and D!
Never kissed lady before. {Nope!} Whoo!
Now the Lord of the Rings, the dark crystal and things.
We use these as a reference tool.
And when we put on our cloaks and tell warlock jokes we're the coolest kids at the school...
{No we're not.}
I know.
Now Teich's a real bastard but a fair dungeon master.
He's got hit points and charisma to lend.
{And I rehearse in my room, or what I call the dragon's tomb, when I'm not out with my girlfriend.}
It's D and D... wait...
Sorry, You got a girlfriend?
{Yeah. Yeah, I got a...no.}
It's D and D!
Warriors that terrify.
It's D and D!
Virgins 'till the day we...
1,2,3,4!
Die!
The second is the sequel to 8-Bit D&D, both of which performed by The Deadale Wives. Enjoy as one of the gamers' girlfriends shows up!
The MP3 is long, so I'll only put up the transcript if Omna asks.
The party is confronted by a big ugly barbarian warlord! The rogue sneaks into backstab position... DM: "You're going to backstab him... with a ballista?" R: "Uh huh." DM: "With a ****ing seige weapon?" R: "Uh huh!" DM: "Okay, there's gotta be a rule against this..well, that's 264 points of damage."
Something simular to this happened in one of our games. We were basically seiging a bandit stronghold. This particular bandit group had managed to aquire advanced technology for the time, specifically Cannons.
Well our parties Bard was simply trying to walk, he moved his minature and passed, and then the bandits fired the cannon. It missed so the GM rolled the scatagram and it ended up landing on the exact square that the poor unsuspecting bard just moved into.
hello guys, I'm a big fan of DnD, and right now my favourite character is a level 9 Hound Archon that I've played for quite a while, and since you guys like DnD, I'll definitely be a friend - If I get to choose a class, can I be a L1 Hound Archon Paladin?
Sorry, Wrath of Dog, only members get to be player characters.
Krasbot101 is now a "Crazy villager who keeps Elixirs in his clocks"!
*** Hater is now an "obligatory dwarven blacksmith"!
Bad Luck is now the "Town Weapon Shop owner"!
Glamdring the Foehammer is now a "magic item"!
Faust is now a "drunken bard passed out in the filth near the stables"!
Wrath of Dog is now the "randomly overpowered town guard that only exists for when your DM needs to lay the pain on that one really annoying guy in your playgroup who is always causing trouble."
I think this clan is gonna end up being the new Mythos... a crapload of friends, but very few members.
But it's nice to see all the activity, it is a pleasant surprise to say the least.
As for funniest RP moments, I cannot believe we forget the "novice archeologist" thing, Josh.
In our gestalt campaign, there is a CN sorcerer/favored soul named Kurt, who was supposed to be the hero of his country, but he ran away because the idea of all that social responsibility scared him. Anyway, he ends up meeting up with the party in a desert town, and plans this big tomb raiding heist because he's heard rumors of treasure.
Well, the townsfolk found out that he and the party were in their sacred burial grounds, and were looting the graves, so they form a huge angry mob, and surround them- and Kurt's response is just to lie, as always.
"But sirs, I am just a novice archeologist!" He bluffs, and rolls a freaking 2. They get pissed, and chase the team deeper into the crypt. Everyone is discussing a way out, but not Kurt. On the fly, he decides he would rather die than leave behind his beautiful treasure- so he blows up the entrance to the chamber they are in, and seals the tomb- keeping the mob out, but trapping the party inside.
Anyway, after they got out of that, the whole "novice archeologist" thing came up at several points throughout the campaign, as Kurt's fallback excuse whenever he got caught looting (I swear, he should have been a rogue). At one point, he tried to steal the horde of a blue dragon, and when confronted by the dragon, he made his same old bluff- and passed. So the blue dragon was convinced he was just making an archeological record of the horde, and was so enticed by the idea of becoming some notorious dragon of legend, he actually let Kurt make off with a good portion of the stuff. Of course, it didn't take him long to realize the ruse was... well, a ruse, so he ended up chasing them down, but that's not really the point.
The point is, with enough Charisma and a high Bluff score, lies don't even have to make sense.
Speaking of thievery, is anyone familiar with the old "Can Olidammara steal his own pants without noticing?" joke? Someone actually broke it down once, and came up with an actual DC for the situation. I think it was a DC 1200+ Sleight of Hand check, if I recall correctly... which is sadly very possible using the Nanobot Technology build.
Btw, I played Dragon Quarter last night... Sooooo cool! Very DnD oriented, I noticed with the attack system... i'm still gettin the hang of it, but yea..
Cool, yeah, there are a lot of elements it has in common with D&D.
Anyway, while we are posting D&D links, let's just get this one out of the way right now.
This is a link to Dark Dungeons, one of those little Christian witnessing comics developed by Jack Chick. Anyway, Dark Dungeons is INFAMOUS among D&D players, as it was produced in the 1980's when D&D was deemed a "satanic" game. Now, it just serves as a good chuckle.
However, it's still somewhat controversial- to the point that posting a link to it is considered a warnable offense on the WotC D&D boards (it's actually considered to be "posting hate speech or hateful propaganda"). It's funny to read, and it's something even an MTG player can relate to (who among us HASN'T encountered the random "isn't that game evil?" spiel before?). However, I will kindly remind all of you to refrain from making fun of the religion behind the comic.
So yeah, here it is. Read it, enjoy it, make fun of it. But don't post the link after this, because from my experience with online D&D communities, this sucker will show up about once a month, no exaggeration.
Wow Photon that is hilarious what that guy did...ive read about some people that just bluff because they can...im guessing Kurt is good at that? If i ever decide to pick up D&D thats what i would like to be like...the person everyone hates because they do stupid things, but their stupidity leads to them doing something good.

Well, Kurt has done is fair share of stupid things, but he's anything but stupid. He's got 18 INT, and is actually very cunning. Currently, he has decided that money itself isn't really that noble a pursuit, and is trying instead to take over the world.
Kurt is a pretty good bluffer, he has 24 CHA and max ranks in the Bluff skill. He was a really fun character to play, but that campaign got sort of soured by another player, so we haven't played much of it in a long while.
P.S. Whoever gets the hundredth post gets a +1 sword
I also just read that link Photon...I had never seen that before, but that is quite funny because of all the people in there that take the game way too seriously... i hope nobody here is like all those people that think the game is better then real life...

That is a very big misconception, and it was a popular argument against D&D during the 80's. Of course, at that time, there was very little like D&D available. Now, we have people who spend all day on Everquest, hundreds of RPGs on every console, MTG, countless tabletop RPGs, gaming conventions in which overweight 30 year old men dress up as Wonder Woman and Faye Valentine... I'm digressing. Anyway, RPGs of all kinds have become much more mainstream, but back in the day, it was still a relatively new concept, and because of the supposed occult elements, it fell under attack from a lot of people.
Of course, it makes me laugh. The occult elements in D&D are ludicrously off-base. As an honest to God occultist, I can tell you that the occult parts of D&D are about as realisic as Charmed's portrayal of Wiccans.

OMG, I thought they were taking the piss. I kept looking for the punchline... So that's actually an 80's christian comic...lol. Amazing how opinions change over time
Basically, I would like to join to discuss character concepts and campaign concepts for games I'm running. I want to avoid personally getting into any 1st vrs. 2nd vrs. 3rd edition D&D arguments; it's simply a matter of preferance I wont debate it one way or the other.
Good to hear. It's nice when gamers are open-minded. By the way, sorry I missed this earlier, but...
Shaharazad became a "pack of gypsys congregating near the town well".
my DM is actually a devout christian, lol
Actually, I know MANY D&D players who are Christians. It's good to see that opinions have changed.
Okay, topic of the day- FAVORITE CLASS.
What is your favorite class in D&D? Or, if you have not played, what class are you interested in, or what sort of class would you like to play?
My favorite class... it's hard to say. From the core classes, I really like the bard. Bardic knowledge is a class feature I simply adore, and fascinate is devastating on higher levels.
However, from all the classes currently available in 3.5, I would say I probably like the Psion the most of all. I have a soft spot for sorcerers and spontaneous casters, but the Psion is just so much more elegant than all of them. Some people complain that psionics has a weak flavor, but I argue that the flavor of psionic characters is like tofu... it's very subtle, and can be versatile, adapting to whatever is appropriate for the campaign. I've seen/played psionic characters that were done to the flavor of Native American tribal magics, flavored to be reincarnated outsiders (my current character in Mamelon's Aerie is such a case), or just individuals of a particular ascetic bent that have achieved mental greatness.

My favourite has to be sorceror or bard. I can lie in both of them (needing lots of charisma) and my god are they fun. I prefered the bard, you know. I just sing and thats all and even got to watch porn films because of my high charisma
Porn films? In D&D?
I like bards, but I actually don't really like the idea of the traditional "singing bard". I find it to be hokey, and I much prefer a bard who uses an instrument, or some other form of expression for his bardic music abilities.
On a slightly related note, in Rise I play an internationally acclaimed violin prodigy, and his skill set is sort of like a reverse bard (has a lot of debuff/penalizing music abilities). Anyway, one of the players made the mistake of calling him a singer in-game, and I was all worked into a frenzy over it. It was sort of funny. I just really don't want to be like Elan from OoTS with his stupid "Concentrate, Concentrate, Concentrate on picking the lock!" crap.
