Dungeons and Dragons!! What!?

Never in a gazillion years did I think I would ever be playing Dungeons and Dragons, what would be next?! Going LARPing?  I've always heard of it but I never really knew much about it, to me it was what all the losers and uber nerds would play during lunch at school.  I always kinda thought I was too "cool" to play it, but damn was I wrong, I had an amazing time during my first DnD session.

If you've never played DnD its basically a pen and paper video game, but more intricate and customizable.  You create your character, choose your backstory, choose skills, etc. The Dungeon Master (DM) then creates a scenario, with custom enemies and story line, then you improvise dialogue to accompany the campaign. Since I'm pretty new to role playing characters, it's still pretty awkward for me, but when you have a cool group of friends it tends to help.  To all my non-gaming friends, yes I know this doesn't sound very fun, but trust me I had a great time during our first campaign and I am looking forward to our next session.

Back in the day this was all done with pen, paper, tokens and dice; but since that can't happen due to us all living in different states we used a neat website called roll20.net.  which is basically a table top application that enables users from around the world to be able to play DnD with their friends.

Here is our test run where we were trying to figure out how this damn thing worked. Like Tobias so eloquently put it, "I’m afraid I prematurely shot my wad on what was supposed to be a dry run if you will, so I’m afraid I have something of a mess on my hands."

Our "dry run" so to say

Thanks to everyone who set this up and participated, Jeul, Cyb, Unitas, Riv, Alextrios, Kaeth, Ayra, Merick. Can't forgett Avendi who setup the whole thing with the help of Keidras.
