My history with D&D
May. 6th, 2019 06:12 pmI'm really enjoying watching Dice, Camera, Action (I'm up to ep 80) & I realized I haven't written about my own D&D games.
Not in much detail anyway.
The first Dungeons & Dragons game I played was when I DMd a game for my brother & his friends.
I had never played a table top game before so I had no idea what i was doing.
All I can remember about that game was one of the character ended up with a flying pet rock named Jeremy.
In collage I was part of the gaming soc. The game I played there I think was partly homebrewed. I can't remember.
After collage I was part of group that met up in a restaurant/bar. I think we played there until they kicked us out.
I can't remember what system we used for that but I remember it had a lot of tables.
When that fell apart one of the players tried to run a legend of the five rings game but we couldn't keep enough players to keep it going.
The DM for that was part of another group & invited me to join. And that's how I got to my technically current group & finally actually playing D&D.
We've had the same DM & a handful of the same players for a while now but we are on our 3rd campaign.
I joined in the middle of the first one.
I played a revenant assassin. Since I never actually play D&D proper before I just kept it simple & basically woke up with amnesia so I didn't have top think of a back story.
Since one of my powers was I could hid a body of something I killed in a small object I ended up giving my character a quirk that the would taxidermy all of their most impressive kills.
I can't remember much else about that character, not even their name.
One of the player had to move or was starting a new job or something so we ended up putting that game on a hiatus that ended up being permanent.
We had just reached level 21 I think & we had just agreed to go on a mission for the Raven Queen.
After getting enough players to start a new game my next character was Arak, a goliath fighter.
Most of the time I usually play sneaky backstabbing or charismatic types so this was a change for me. But I decided I just wanted to hit things for once.
Arak was the only one in the party with a happy childhood. Having just decided that he was going to go adventuring to be a great hero.
In contrast to all the antsy or mysterious backstories Arak ended up being the most level headed of the group even after the ended up have the voices of a bunch primordials in his head.
We got all the way to level 30 with these guys which was cool.
A joke with Arak was that because I ended up rolling so high all the time on perception checks & finding secret doors & things he became known as the opener of the ways.
Arak ended up being know as a great champion & married his sweetheart & retiring off somewhere in Neverwinter.
Another running joke we had was he had a bunch of sponsorships so you could find Arak figures being sold were ever you went (even off as far as the Astral sea).
My current character is a bit more back to form with a rogue, Swifty the tailor. (yes this is a Taylor Swift joke). I purposely try to make all my alias' named something ridiculously obvious like Stitch or Shifty or the time when we were pretending to be delivery people & it was Delilah 'Del' Livery.
We're all at level 9 right now.
