What is a "Thread Drift"???

[Kitsune06]

I had forgotten my D&D character Gwendolyn.. memories of games that lasted entire weekends...

Not surprisingly, I was a Ranger sort... though I could really get into Clerics. our RPGs were VERY role-play based...

My WOW character "Aryn" was a NE Hunter, with moonsabre Jai. Got to lvl 53... I loved the game when it first came out, but it sounds more and more like they nerfed the *entire game*

*sigh* I'm also a Whitewolf (vampire the masquerade and Werewolf) player. Toreador or Brujah. Aryn was also my Toreador- wore torn jeans and a gauzy hippy shirt... painted in la galleria... Maris was my Brujah, with hand-etched dual pistols, painted biker jacket and leather chaps.

Then there's Cyberpunk...

I played D&D back in 1979/80 before computers. We had a grid on the table and block things to make the walls which we built as we went. We had metal characters which we painted. We'd start a game and couldn't end it until we were out of the dungeon. My character Gwendolyn was a Mage and she managed to stay alive long enough to get enough experience points to be relatively safe. I also had a male character named Tyler who fought for me too. It was handy having him along.

I have a feeling I could totally get into playing D&D again. If only there was someone to play with...

Vampire, Werewolf and Cyberpunk were all pen and paper... D&D, too...

KG - I bet there is an online game you could play, and seems like there's at least one person here you could play with.....way beyond anything I'd try to learn right now!

Lisa - that's right - almond paste. I remember that that's why I don't like it! Right up there with amaretto, etc. blech. Kind of funny that I like biscotti, isn't it?

BMo3 - you've had your three bad things today, the rest of your day will be good. Sending special happy spring butterflies to distract and cheer you. OH, and aren't you feeling kind of sick, too? there are few butterflies for healing you, too! Grab a nice book, curl up in a sunbeam and relax. You've earned it.

If anyone is interested, I posted about my massage therapist in the health forum.

Hugs and butterflies!

LB - not sure it would be the same to play online. There was something cool and sitting at the table all night with a group of friends, eating, drinking, and doing, well, whatever...

Thank you. I am watching the snow, the sun is gone, but the snowflakes are beautiful! I need a nap.

My elf ranger was great, but you know how weird little things happen to come up? well one of our quests was all in a dungeon, and she hated a) dungeons b) being forced to wear her armor all the time.

So after this quest, she runs to the shore and pulls all her clothes off. She's sunbathing nekkid when (thanks, DM) one of my friends' characters (who happened to follow his pet chicken everywhere...) stumbled into a group of kobolds who didn't take kindly.

Aryn pulls out her daggers and- I swear I have never rolled so well for a fight.

After it all, the DM puts the story together and everyone's looking at me, and it's at the point where I attempt to sheath the daggers that I realize -oh- all my armor's back... at the beach. meaning I'm...


After another couple instances like that, it became a running joke that Aryn was a better fighter nekkid.

...like Sean's character in L5R who couldn't subdue anyone- she'd attempt to kneecap someone and he'd roll so she'd take their leg clean off, or she'd try to crack someone in the head with her (sheathed!) katana, and he'd roll so she broke their skull. ...except when she tried to actually kill people, then he'd somehow manage to roll a critical failure. oops.

After growing up wrestling, getting nuggied, stomped on, and exchanging pummeling, stooge moves, and black and blue marks with my older brothers, as a grown up I find Solitaire to be pretty enjoyable.

Fear my warrior's streak!
Reminds me of an offcolor joke entailing boarding a vessel... YARRR!!!!

solitaire? ack. Watch out for those papercuts. I hear they can be nasty, when from cards. ..unless you're playing on your computer. ...then bear in mind, sometimes, I swear, they make it so you *can't* win.

I love RPGs... Roleplay can be so much fun... a chance to step out of everyday life and *be* the ranger/vampire/werewolf/kitsune/cleric/paladin/techie/nomad/hunter you always wanted to be.

one could argue "why role play when you can do whatever you want with your life?"
...
because I don't think society would be ok with me just running off into the woods and being an elf ranger or wearing leather pants, trenchcoat and carrying a couple pistols wherever.

...and kevlar is just *so* expensive!
