THE GAME
Once upon a time Wizards of the Coast made a new edition of their wildly popular tabletop RPG series, Dungeons and Dragons. They called it 4th edition and it was a huge departure from everything that came before it. People were furious and rebelled. It was the worst thing that had ever happened.

Learning from their mistakes Wizards made a brand new edition, more faithful to their origins, bringing them back to their roots. People were furious and rebelled. It was the worst thing that had ever happened.

But yet a few brave souls will attempt to tame this newest incarnation, rolling dice for the fate of the universe.

ACTUALLY we're playing 3.5 the BEST version of D&D



THE PARTY
YOUNG JOEY HOOFVSZ (Wolfshirt) Minotaur Cleric of Kord, less magically inclined than a divine man of god usually should be. Some say he only got into the gig for the tax breaks. Nonetheless he does get his soldiers back on their feet even if he's more comfortable putting enemies off theirs.

PALLA (Panzer Skank) Elven Monk of Justice. No time for descriptions, there's only time for JUSTICE! ...sometimes time for cake also, but mostly justice. Also chocolate. Also justice!

ROCKMEATS (Gharbad) Ancient rock golem of Friendship. Leaving his ancient temple home once it became too ransacked Rockmeats met Palla and began his monk training as her apprentice.

KIT OPHELIA LOGOS o SFER (Ikks) Kit is a Barbarian of a Disney Princess. Transformed into a rabbit when her kingdom was cursed she decided to go out and fix it her dang self and not wait for some stupid prophecy to do it for her.

PRAUSIA (Poorweather) Wizard of unfortunate constituation. She's a powerful Yuan-ti mage who travels the world helping those in need. Her kindness and generosity is only matched by her inability to take a hit.

And MEDIBOT as the ever menacing DUNGEON MASTER and chairman of the NPC appreciation station

Doing a three color pixel version of Kit is rough. I'm not super happy with that one:

Really enjoying the campaign so far, so I made some things.

Did someone say justice?


If nobody said justice, then these are wildly inappropriate.

Yay, I can finally follow one of these from the start! Getting into the previous LPs after they had been going was a bit daunting.

I feel like someone should make a Palla in Saint's Row 2's character creator. Maybe I will.

It was Plundersaurus Rex's dream to be the greatest pirate dragon ever.

Hooray! I bring this up at the start of every thread, but that's because it's still worth saying: the D&D LPs are what finally inspired me to reach out to a group of nerds to play the game. Though the gaming has long since dried up do to Grown Up Situations, the friends I made changed my life for the better during the roughest part of it.

I still need to catch up on the last two 13th Age sessions, but drat those production efforts! Rockmeats is my new favorite rock person.

Yeah, same. Always figured they were dumb nerd things that were strictly a grognardy all serious all the time affair.

Then these threads happened and I've never been more glad to be wrong.

Oh no, the dice are already revolting against Rockmeats. Off to a good start.

Young Algernon is spared the knowledge that Joey exists for a while longer.

So Next is decent now? I think I remember listening to a podcast where people played a trial adventure that made it literally impossible to get hit in the boss fight.

Disclaimer: We know D&D next has a ...reputation but remember making fun of dumb mechanics is fine. Fighting about dumb mechanics is less fine.

As someone who has not been following the D&D Next development, can someone fill me in on what this reputation is (without, I guess, getting into a fight about it)? I've seen things like character sheets posted on the Escapist, and the comment section is usually "I still have 3.5 so no thanks."

Also, those characters are the most adorable things ever.

I find the verisimilitude of these characters highly dubious. You power gamers certainly wouldn't get away with taking Minotaur or golem as your race at MY table! :colbert:

Real talk, kinda stoked to see how DDN plays when it's being run by someone besides the humorless spergs it was trying to cater to.
