Ok good start. Dial back the weird by 3 notches and add a whip maybe?

Tibbit action-scientist? Tibbits are small humanoids who can shift into cats, the descendants of wizards’ familiars allegedly. ‘Action scientist’ could be artificer, alchemist, bard, rogue, or combos thereof, take yer pick.

I was thinking alchemist. This is a sign.

Or goblin or kobold action-scientists? *big grin* "hit it harder, make it stronger" "no, ssssqueezzze more accccid into it, make it ssssplasssssh more!"

Inspiration!

FWIW, 3.5 artificer is one of my favorite classes. You can do anything! Just takes loot & time, especially once you hit L 5 & can scavenge xp out of magic items for items of your own design…

Let us know how it goes! You'll do great!

I had a blast! I can’t wait until I get to make me own character

That's awesome!! What kind of character did you play tonight?

 

[JPReads]

Well I am normally the DM/GM but I definitely fit in the Neck-Romancer class. Also I find it incredibly fitting that bards are just bards.

 

[FreckledSprite]

A Wizard, Noble, half elf

Are you starting a new campaign or joining an ongoing one? Any idea what you want to play

New campaign where each week is different. Not an ongoing campaign. I’m really looking forward to being able to attend on Sundays I’m free and not have to sweat the ones I miss.

This is the best way to get started.

Nice! Sounds like what they call a west marches style. Players just show up when they can etc

It’ll be great. I’ve been part of an ongoing campaign and whenever we missed there was a lot of catching up to do to work us back in.

 

[CuriousRick]

Glad you had a good time! @FreckledSprite ! As an old guy I love to see how popular RPGs have become! I remember the old satanic panic days!

I have thought about running a game like that at a local store. Using a different rule set.

I always play it as you just did not exist and now you do to limit the catching up.

I’m a Forever GM, and a long time ago I stopped trying to narrate the “where did so and so go?”

Just “poof”

My players fill in the blanks on their own and I’m happy to lean into it.

One session, the healer wasn’t around and the whole session was … “If we only had a healer!”

Did that, then I as GM had a mean old witch curse the party as a whole so that sporadically characters would turn into silent, intangible spirits following the rest of them. Of course, this was only triggered when the player couldn’t make it.

After a prankster’s "accident" with sovereign glue, I had to add the ‘intangible’ part….

That’s really clever. I may steal this.

Is it stealing if I’m offering?

Seen it done with spirits or mushrooms or soulgems

Our DM was mean tonight. First we were attacked by a beholder. And then after we killed it, it was resurrected by a group of duergar clerics. And then we had to kill a zombie beholder. And it was even meaner than when it was alive. Our paladin nearly got disintegrated.

You gave ‘em the 10 minutes they needed to cast a resurrection spell? Or did they Animate Dead, which is quicker

There’re a number of reasons looting monsters is important, rendering them into gold-worthy bits gets you loot AND it keeps ‘em from getting back up.

It all falls back on the ‘always kill the caster first’ rule of thumb.

At least your dice got a good workout!

I've got a couple shelves of game systems I've picked up over time. D&D and its decades of derivatives up to the current (imo) mess. GURPS has awesome source books and an utterly insane system. Different versions of the Hero System and sourcebooks like Champions. Toon, the ever insane, and Paranoia that loves to live up to its name. RuneQuest/Call of Cthulhu/Delta Green/etc.

However I (used) to love playing them more'n collecting 'em. To me, they're springboards into the imagination of the other players - how can we have fun (for many different definitions thereof!) within this framework of rules?

Yeah, I've bought many RPGs that I've not played yet, but they all have given me ideas for scenarios or stories to add to those I do play.

From larger publishers of games like Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, Imperium Maledictum to small indie publishers making games like Tomorrow City, Neon City Overdrive, they all bring something new to the experience of playing with other like minded, imaginative folks.

D&D, that stands for Deviants and Depravity right?
