I've never felt comfortable with the idea of playing D&D (or any pen and paper) with strangers.  Dunno...  Just gives me a bad impression.  That being said, I might be moving to Montreal in 4 months, and I might have to try the same thing you've been attempting, Luin.  Not sure what I value more - Playing D&D, or avoiding awkward social situations.  Nooooooot looking forward to that.

If they're asking you questions about "experience" they'd be too serious for me at least, I've been GMing a zombie pen & paper for a few sessions now and mine always involve beer and healthy amount of inside jokes for all of us to just simply have fun with. We also hand out random cards each session, here's a few examples


Good Cards:

"Bitch grab the shotgun"
- You now have a shotgun, roll a D3 to determine ammo type (Birdshot/Shot/Slugs), it has one clip

"You don't need to load it, we did that shit for you!"
- The next weapon that uses ammo you find comes fully loaded with some to spare OR you get one instant free reload of any weapon


Bad Cards:

"That's Joke gum, now you're addicted to heroin"
- Roll a D6, for the remainder of this session you are addicted to it, should you be unable to get a fix it will persist multiple sessions until you get a fix, if you already have the addiction you roll, roll again
- 1 - Pot, 2 - Alcohol, 3 - Cigarettes, 4 - Cocaine, 5 - Heroin, 6 - Meth

"Maybe the helicopter is made of Chocolate"
- Minus two to all physical or endurance related checks, fatty

You, me, and Tim need to do some Star Wars RPG when I'm in town next. It's been too long.

A local D&D group called me up to see if I want to join.


They might not accept me though since I don't know enough and they are all more advanced than me.
why would they call you up to tell you they won't accept you?
[/quote]

When they call they have no idea of my experience and if I'll fit with the group. They just want to ask questions first.

Based on their email, I'm not likely going to be a good fit.

Quote:Luin,

We are a group of 8 males ranging in age from 12 - 54.  We play every night, appropriate attire is required; you wear what your character is wearing.  We don't bring books, as you should have already memorized them.  We have transcended the use of dice and now engage in actual combat, with weapons made safe for our level of skill (mostly nerf bats).  Beverages are available, but for a fee.  If you have any other female friends please bring them, we'd like to start introducing Little Johnny to the concept of a 2 gender race, and as none of us have wives/girlfriends and the pizzahut will no longer send female drivers here, the prospect of a female player is quite intriguing.  Hope to hear from you SOON.

Yours In the Faith of the Game,
Lord Dickton Tubuchs.

kinda like this?


Re: This Made My Day/Improved My Day Thread! - rumsfald - 04-30-2010

Ah, a good occasion to resurrect one of the best clips ever

Lightning Bolt!

Luin, tell them about your mad lightning bolt skillz.



Re: This Made My Day/Improved My Day Thread! - A. Crow - 04-30-2010

LARPers...... *shudder* 

I so want to bring a platoon of good paintballers to one of those events. 


Re: This Made My Day/Improved My Day Thread! - Luinbariel - 04-30-2010

No, nothing like those ... horrible suggestions.

They wanted to know what campaigns I've played under what systems, which I honestly didn't know. When I played it's always been "lol let's play D&D!" and the DM took care of the rest for us. I mean I could make my character sheet and stuff but I would still need help.

They asked what my highest level character has been, and that was also disappointing. They wanted to start at low level paragons and I've only ever started with basic characters and probably never actually completed a campaign.

He claims most of them are in their 30's which is fine with me, and the social awkwardness is always something I can walk away from if it amounts to too much. I kind of doubt it will, but eh.

Hell, here's the quote (his personal info taken out, he felt the need to introduce himself a little)

Quote:-How much 4e dnd have you played?
-highest level character?
-have you dm'd?
-have you played Living Forgotten Realms?
-in a few words, how would you describe your playstyle? i.e. powergamer, roleplayer, realistic, 1st person, etc


That's all i can think of for now. Let me know if you're interested, and don't be intimidated we like new gamers with new ideas Smile I like to run a really fun table where everyone gets to pull off really cool events or ideas a la hollywood. I really llike the look-cool-factor, a well developed character personality and bonus points for puns!

[me=Surf314]used logic on boss, it was super effective[/me]

Successfully argued my way into the money I'm owed for my share of the retainer for this huge project I'm working on. Didn't have to quit and figure out a way to magic some money into existence.


Re: This Made My Day/Improved My Day Thread! - A. Crow - 04-30-2010

having to argue to get what you're already owed and entitled to is pretty FML.  I'd slowly roast your boss over an open fire pit.

There's a rumor going around that the new Zelda is a sequel to Majora's Mask. It makes p excited.


Re: This Made My Day/Improved My Day Thread! - allondra - 05-01-2010

Today I heard a story about a 17 year old who is trying to make his mom's (my coworker) life as miserable as possible....In the course of one week he has managed to destroy a windshield, admit to chewing tobacco, pierce his own ear with a pen, say some pretty hurtful things and respond to every question with "because I can."

All in all it made me appreciate moms more in general, which is important considering mother's day is coming up.  It also made me want to shake this kid since I've met him enough times to know that he could be good if he wanted to. grr

EDIT:  I NOW FINALLY HAVE FIREFOX ON MY WORK COMPUTER---BEST DAY EVER!!!!!!!!!!  DIE IE
