Straither says "Hello"

#1 Post by Straither »

Hello to the Admin team and the player memberships.

I am Mike, going by Straither, living in Derby, UK where I grew up in the late 80's as a young teen watching elder bros' play early editions of D&D and other roleplaying game.

I still have a few favoured lead figured Citadel Miniatures of painted heroes on my shelf and nowadays in free times, open up the kitchen table to transform it for the kids into subterranean labyrinths or castle rooms with poorly drawn 'old school' square mapping and lego bricks to represent dungeon doors. Sure some will recognize them days. Thank the Lord for Dwarven Forge and even virtual TT productions.

A fan old the older Critical Role podcasts and Acquisitions Inc.

Greetings to you all. i will look at the games on offer.

Welcome Mike! Great to have you here!

FYI: We do moderate every new user's first two posts. Just as an anti-spam measure.
After your second approved post, you can post without delay, use Private Messaging and join games!

Again welcome, and well met!
This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Welcome!
Sometimes this summer I will most likely be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

Thank you for the welcome. I took a few days to read through the forum and some of the many games being played and archived.

My posting rate might not be more than a couple of times a week if that would be an issue for any Dungeon Master recruiting players.

Any campaign recommendations for a newbie? ( I mean new player not new to D&D). I prefer to join as a new character than take over one shelved by another player's absence.

There is this game, 2E D&D. I am in it and it is excellent and posting rate seems about right for you.

Could try Barrowmaze (1st ed D&D), thirty plus other players can't be wrong about a good game.
