@DM Fern - Thanks for the selection. Looking forward to this game.
To all the others selected - Congrats on being selected!

I'm so excited to play with all of you! :D
DM Fern |
Welcome new friends! Have some information:
The only other thing is two of you want to be bards -- I still chose you both because I dig the characters. If you want to roll as both bards, I won't forbid it, you just might step on one another's toes. I'll let you guys work it out here what you wanna do. You've got time, since you won't be anything until it's leveling time!
That's all I can think of for now! Getting a few things in order and I'll start the gameplay thread up sometime today!

Here's some stuff about me/my thoughts on my character's class (opinions welcome).
Kubub |
Thankyou for invite to join game! I'm really looking forward to this. :D
Ths is actually my first time as a PbP player, and I don't know how to add the helpful text under my character name, if someone could give me a helpful steer, plz. :)
I could be persuaded to go swashbuckler rogue, instead of bard. :D
EDIT: Oh, Sammy has gone rogue. Gimme' a sec....
Vashrin Naevirion |
Not too worried about the multiple bards, as they seem differently focused. Vashrin would be going Lore or Glamour while I suspect Kubub would be going Valor or Swords (or at least that's my guess).
That being said, I could see Vashrin going the Arcane Trickster or Inquisitive Rogue route too, but then I'm stepping on Sammy's toes, so then there's that problem.

When you edit your Alias' profile, you can put all of that info (Like Vashrin has) in the "Classes/Levels" box :)

Ok. I'm thinking that due to the nature of this campaign, I can probably get away with multiclassing all over the place without my character being an impotent mess, so I'll start as a Dex Fighter, with the intent to dabble in both Rogue and Bard later down the line, if that works for you, DM?
Willow Breakbough |
I am becoming super attached to the idea of playing a trickster cleric the more I think about it, so I think I'm just going to settle on that, unless anyone has any objections.
Sammy Boy |
Howdy! Thank you for the selection :)
This is Sammy. I picked this portrait to represent his kid persona - when he grows up, I'll change it to a cooler one.
The plan is being a Soulknife because... he would be able to throw cards! And that is so cool! :)

No way... unless you also do Ranger! And monk!

We don't even need to come up with a name for the party. Karley has an incredible one ready to go for us. Bless
Karley Rumblemuffin |
Hahaha, have to say that's the best welcome ever. Thanks.
About me: I also teach (robotics) but am not cool enough to run a D&D club like you guys. I tend not to post much from work, but refresh often. Typically I'll think up posts on my mind-cleansing 40 minute commute home. I like creative writing as a hobby and tend to get silly and make myself laugh while simultaneously rambling on and being incomprehensible. I've been on these boards a few years as player/DM and love the 5e community here.
Nuruk Faerjhan |
You FOOLS, you let me in! HAhahahahahAHAHAHA!
Hey there everyone, I'm KingHotTrash and I am happy to be the big stronk boy of the group. I had a feeling that the group would be pretty strongly focused in Charisma and that usually means that Dexterity is the next big thing. I am here for when we get a weapon that doesn't have finesse. :P
I am excited to play this though, a story focusing on life-long friends and the trauma experiences they all have together is an excellent start for a campaign. I have the pleasure of playing in one of DM Fern's games here on the website and she has been an excellent DM.
Nuruk is set to be the dragonborn in armor with the good strength score, charisma, and constitution. I'm not sold on what Oath I'm going to go for but they're all pretty amazing and fun to play with.
Vashrin Naevirion |
@DM Fern - How would you like to handle Celeste for this portion of the game? I can play her, or would you prefer to handle her as an NPC?
Vashrin Naevirion |
Got it.

I normally don't play characters with trauma already built into their background, so this will be a fun change of pace. xD

Which numbered area did Juniper jump into?

The nouns thing will certainly be challenging but I wanted a challenge. Please feel free to throw a grammar book at my face if I accidentally use an adjective that can also be a noun or something. XD
Be careful with that kind of open invite xD I'm an English teacher.
Willow Breakbough |
It's all about how you use it! If you use a noun and add "ing" to it, like "adulting" then IMO counts as a verb. but then again, I'm not the DM so it's up to Fern if that counts xD
Time to learn Faerunian Sign Language haha
Sammy Boy |
Now that you mention it...
I added Sign Language as a language for Sam. Of course, I didn't know at the time that we weren't starting with our flaws, so let's just pretend it's not there yet, I guess.
Sammy Boy |
You know, technically "holding" can be a noun, but also a verb and maybe even an adjective of you twist it enough. It depends on what you meant. And that's why I said English does a good job of messing it all up. Darn, even the word "English" has more than one morphological role!
Good news is, if you're going to be technical, pronouns aren't nouns, even if they play the same syntactical role.
After this boring diatribe, I swear I won't talk about linguistics anymore. Maybe I won't talk anymore, if I'm next :p
Willow Breakbough |

It's not even twisting it. English is several languages and grammatical structures in a trenchcoat and stupid as hell, to boot. What part of speech the word is all depends on how you use it in a sentence. Seems like a Convo worth having, at least!
Willow Breakbough |
Linguistics is one of my passions (I took an extra class or two in college while getting my English degree) so I can do whatever I need to to support messing with the fae mwuahaha
Willow Breakbough |
I didn't know that about Japanese! Admittedly, most of my knowledge of Japanese comes from watching subbed anime and weird comedy shows like Documental, so... lol.
I like it. This will be fun!
Willow Breakbough |
It made me sad. I wanted Nuruk to be really nice but that damn curse... :(
Gotta get that sweet sweet trauma building for adulthood!
it made me sad, too ;___; our poor babies.
DM Fern |
Lol at the minor curse... No way I can see it to be minor
I tried to pair the curses with the thing you lost...figured that one would make for interesting rp without a voice to be able to apologize. =) Minor might be a poor choice of words since they are all pretty serious, but none of them have mechanical effects, they're all for RP.
The nice thing about curses is they can be removed. Ya know, once you find yourself a high level spell caster and enough gold or favors to pay for the spell.
Willow Breakbough |
lmao i forgot my own character can't smile and said she grinned. must fix.
Sammy Boy |
Question:
Is Sam merely impeded from speech, or is he unable to emit any kind of sound? As in, could he do onomatopoeias (oink, oink)? Can he cry out loud?
I hadn't thought about this before, and by now I think that should be the DMs call.
Vashrin Naevirion |
Have we lost Kubub? Haven't seen a post from him in a week.
Willow Breakbough |
We might have. :( He hasn't posted on the forums at all. Hopefully, he's okay!
