6) despite how earnestly Cadell got himself reduced below 0 hp, he never actually died. I had a character die in a one-shot, and my rogue, Kinyago, was cornered by gargoyles while trying to escape a tower. She fought bravely with dagger and rapier, which don’t really hurt gargoyles much, and never saw the finish to her personal quest.

5) probably the time my cavalier, cornered on a spiral staircase a hundred feet from the ground, threw his longsword, impaling his overwhelmingly powerful foe, who gave an ugly shriek before tumbling to his death far below. It was VERY cinematic.

4) I wish I could improve my CHA. In this world, being charming, likable- and knowing you’re okay- really changes a lot and let’s face it, part of me wants to be the character with the great stories and witty comebacks at all times, especially if I can encourage and help others by doing it (see “probably bard”).

3) I love playing halflings! But I kinda want to try playing a gnoll or minotaur again. I tend to enjoy cleric or bard a lot.

2. My first experience playing D&D was trying to keep a friend company while he recuperated from a ruptured appendix. I played a wizard! And remember nearly nothing of that game.

Years later my friend Ryan got me into playing. The fad of the early 80s had come and gone, so he inherited a second set of books from his cousin and sold them to me cheap, which is the only way I could have afforded them.

1. I would probably be a half-elf (hybrid, ages weirdly, slim graceful build prettier than my face) much as I want to say gnoll. Probably bard, much as I want to be a ranger or druid.

Having an off day, let’s try out this meme from birdsite! One like equals one answer (unless I feel really ambitious).

What do I say? What can I say?
I said, I'm not supposed to be like this;
Let's try to find a happy game to play!
Let's try to find a happy game to play!
I'm not supposed to be like this,
But it's okay,
Okay?

If *you* don’t really explain a complex, multi-part process at a job which I am doing simply to make rent, then it doesn’t reflect badly on *me* when I get it wrong.

*My* part of the deal is, I won’t buy into my childhood indoctrination that you are intentionally setting me up to fail so you can scold me. The world can work differently.

Breathe. Breathe.

1. rhinoceri are sculptural and cool looking, but their babies are just adorable.

2. ceratopsians must've been a little like parrots (who are also kinda adorable) and a little like rhinos.

3. some ceratopsians previously identified as separate species are actually younger individuals (eg Torosaurus/Triceratops)

4. especially younger Triceratops must've been ridiculously cute.

just up a little while waiting to go back to sleep, trying to think positive things to ease into darkness.

Darn, the local community center is about to start a capoeira group and I’m a little too old for it. I would have loved getting to play when I was 8-10!

by the time the Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack got to Enya in the end credits I decided I needed something a little less elfy while making my bed, and THAT'S how my housemate walked on me singing along to Gwar's "Jiggle the Handle."

... I fess up to crying during this part of Fellowship of the Rings. #MoreSoundtrack

the Argonath! Long have I desired to look upon the visages of the kings of old, my forefathers!

instead of a dark lord, you shall have a QUEEN, sweetie! NOT DARK BUT FABULOUS AS THE DAWN! ALL WILL LOVE ME AND DESPAIR oWo WAHTS THIS?

Fly, you fools, fly. *Gandalf rather precisely does not fly*

I hope that old man knocked that tractor beam outta commission or this could be a real short trip, punch it Chewie.

THEY HAVE A CAVE TROLL!

LET THEM COME! THERE IS STILL ONE DWARF IN MORIA THAT YET DRAWS BREATH!
