    PS I find any edition of DnD is much better when I'm high. ;-)

     

    Creativity... It's either I do that or wonder around Enchanted Forest outside of Salem... Which is rich in content for those interested.

     

    Is there another thread on the NP forums where we can just shoot the shit and talk D&D? ... The game itself is fun, and having a talented set of comedians riff and occasionally role die is fine by me. Cheers.

     

     

    Edit: Attached is a feature in Enchanted Forest which I like to call "The Cock Gobbler"... Not shown is the racist log ride.

    Well... An update on the first night testing D&D 5e in the real world... It's hard to get people vested when there are a lot of questions about building a character. Luckily, I had spent a lot of ... sad, lonely, no sex, a lot of weed, hours researching how to semi-quickly build a character to at least get something going.

     

    However, the crew I was with were more worried about getting every little detail right, and questioning if they should be lawful good, or chaotic neutral. ... And the discussion on whether to have an arcane focus or component pouch took a couple pints - because no one could find anything about arcane focus (what is this?) .... There are a lot of "things" in the PHB which seemed to instantly scare and confuse new players.

     

    By the time we were close to finishing character creation, some wanted to play something else, others wanted to finish the fine touches on their character... ... One was way too high to know where the fuck he was, and was off on his own little mind journey. ... In the end, we never were able to get started. ... Which is fine because everyone had a tiny taste of how D&D works. You can potentially invest a lot of time into this. I am trying to keep it simple, and move things forward in an entertaining way.

     

    I feel we could finish out the character building and begin with the Starter Set.

     

    Thanks for the responses Trogdor & SublimeBW. They will definitely come in handy when we are ready to roll.

     

     

     

    (Dunno if we can plug venues Mr. Astro, but we were at Card Kingdom / Cafe Mox in Ballard)

    So this is rad. We found a nifty cafe in the Seattle area where there are D&D, Pathfinder, and other table top games.

     

    The community there will have signs that say, "Will DM For Beer", and seem open to having a bunch of new people showing up to get quick tutorials on character creation, basic combat/rules, DMing, etc... Did I mention the beer?

     

    Thanks for the support. We are all excited to start playing.

    Howdy -

     

    Like many of you, I am now inspired to get a campaign going with some buddies. This is the first time DMing, and am looking for some decent (free if possible) map makers that you use. There are many on the web, and wasn't sure if those out there in Nerd Poker-land had any preferences.

     

    Also, if you have any tips for a first time DM pass 'em on. My group and I are fairly new to playing (I played 3.5e back when it came out). We're playing 5e, and it definitely seems a lot more streamlined. I have the three core books, dice, an account on Roll20.net, etc... I have the materials, now need the skill.

     

    I'm anxious (and a little nervous) because I want it fun - and not awkward & boring. ... It's like wanting to kiss that girl who never really paid any attention to me... And then when we finally have that moment where we could suck face, I end up talking about the comforts of sweatpants and 8th Grade... She then walks away wondering what the hell just happened... I stand there pissing myself... ... I don't want that to happen DMing my campaign. Ya dig?

     

    Roll 'em if you got 'em... Thanks!!

    How did this guy get on the podcast? Has he heard an episode?

     

    "And you hear his voice and are not attracted, write to us! ... For free!" Hahahahaha!

     

    I'm writing saying I do not like this guy's voice or what he stands for. I'm glad we have our hosts to really not take this guy seriously.

    Just thinking of the podcast and the potential of something fun. Can I be a NPC (Non-player character)?

     

    With a donation and simple stat sheet, would this character hinder or help our travelers? If you can survive a grenade stuck in your dickhole, you've definitely passed the first test. A simple Dex check would hopefully solve that.

     

    Thoughts? Could a simple stat sheet submission form work? ... I'm high and it's 3:30am.
