Long live Roy!
At long last we are returned from our two-week journey to the Far East (of Canada) and back. I am planning on collapsing out of utter exhaustion very shortly, leaving piles of presents and garbage strewn all about. But I felt I should mark today as the first time Arthur got to make a D&D character, which he'd been asking us to do for months now, but most vigorously over the past few weeks while we'd been away, and we promised him that once we got back to Windsor in January he could play. Well, we hadn't been back for three hours before he was ready to go, making his first character, Roy, who is, essentially, Roy from Order of the Stick, except that he looks like an older version of Arthur, apparently. The setting, such as it is, will be Julia's Aveyrone Empire and it looks like I'm the GM for the two of them. After making the character (with help of course) he insisted on playing a 'demo', for which he pulled out one of the dungeon tiles that balthcat gave us and insisted that I run it for them. A hobgoblin was defeated and there was much rejoicing. Arthur hasn't quite figured out that he doesn't just get to say what is going to happen next, but seemed to have a good time and insisted on telling the enemy, just as he was dying, that he'd be back in the real game, since this was just a demo.
So I present to you:
