D&D for me
So since I was quite young... about 13 or so.. I loved role playing. Absolutely loved. Now I never found any D&D groups, but I would RP online a lot, also LARP with usually one person. I even played a character that had like.. 3(?) split personalities? Twas fun times.
Anyway.. fast forward. I haven't done any RP for like... 9 years? Now I experience my first D&D about this time last year. It's Ryan, myself, another couple, and one other guy (their neighbor). It was great fun, usually once a week. I of course struggle a bit with all the mechanics (of course clerics still don't make sense to me.. 'priest can't wear plate says' my wow brain!) but there was great role playing going on. I make my first toon.. Nemia the wild elf druid (shocking right?). Her druid companian is a ferret named Umbrian (I think? something like that o.o). Anyway, long story short the gm was the husband of the other couple and he fard core favored her. Like.. lots in her favor and such. Tensions ran and a fight happened and that was that (D&D wasn't the issue btw!).
Now this is my second time playing D&D (I dont count my first 'second time' since last time we had introduced our characters into this game and on the first night, WE END THE GAME. It was really funny. I shall have to talk about it later). And I'm on this character that is screaming for role play. She's an undead bloodline sorcerer who isn't evil at all, she just understand death and accepts it as a cycle of life. Yes she can and does control zombies and skeletons and ghosts. But she gives them names too <3.
Also this game is run by my brother-in-law and I play with his wife, myself and Ryan, and three more guys. But this game is poorly run, my husband spends more time on the computer or doing art that anything else. Or goofing off with three other people. The quest line is boring, predictive, and is run hard core module style (no creative element in gear, play, or reasoning). So we are just playing to be playing.
Now I have heard all throughout the relationship about what GREAT RP sessions Ryan and his friend would have. The characters, the stories, the art, the banter ect. I am soo freakin jealous. And I am always pushing him to maybe start up a great game like that (Why he doesn't I'm still not sure : /) .
Well tonight he had that game again. This group is the same group of people except replace Ryan and I with two other people, but it's run by one of the guys that just plays a character in the group I'm in. And it's allll about the GM in how he sets up the world and the roleplay aspect. Everyone actually role plays. Ryan carried on and on about it since I got home until he went to sleep, it was that good. Just because of a DM switch. And I so want to play in his game.
You see I have a barrage of characters in my brain that I would love to see come alive. Making the character is like... my fav. part of D&D tbh. I'm an altoholic I think lol.
But I dont know if I can even get in on it because he's at a kind of player cap (6 people total. His recently got an ex so Ryan got to take her spot tonight).
/jealous
Also need to revamp and make three new icons. Priestly/wow, wedding, and something else ...
