Eienkage Introduction

On a rather unoriginal note, I suppose I'll begin with, "Hello". I've always lived in a small town, a community of mostly farmers, so it's been ridiculously difficult to get an actual game of D&D going here. The few games I HAVE had had ended up like Dr. Demento's representation of the game. I've always liked D&D because it is an extremely creative and inventive game. It allows me to use my mind in ways that I would not be able to in everyday life, and I appreciate that.

Chances are that if I split my intro into little pieces, people are more likely to read each piece as opposed to one big block, so here goes. I have always loved science, anime and manga, D&D, comics, video games (Mostly RPGs), Reading, and pretty much anything you could be called a nerd for. Surprisingly, I have not been unpopular through school. I am quick to make friends, friendly in nature, and humorous. Being aware of social protocol and societal norms has also helped. Looking at life as if it were a game itself has it's advantages. Some may call this being manipulative. I call it being smart.

While I'm not the smartest person that ever lived, I'm certainly above average around where I live. I have a feeling I'll be placed somewhere in the "Average" area in this community, though. I've always taken advanced classes and for the most part enjoyed them.

I hope to be a regularly active member of this community if my hectic life will allow, so I'll be seeing you around.

Hi there, Eienkage! Another fellow gamer - good fortune. You actually sound quite a bit like I've identified myself in my younger years, down to the small farming town, though I managed to get interest in a few friends in Freshmen year and we were allowed to play D&D in science class as long as we got our work done first and weren't distracting, so I had a stroke of good luck there.

That's a really good intro post - make sure to bookmark this thread so you can ask and answer offtopic questions separate from other threads if you ever need to.

There are official site RPGs that require 75% activity, which isn't tough if you post a couple times a day, and there are also two player-run AD&D RPGs in progress - one going since last year, the other just attempting to start and looking for players.

Either way, I strongly suggest you read this
AD&D Newcomer F.A.Q., which I put together myself for new RPG candidates, because there are some pretty important tidbits you need to know about the forums themselves and the style of play. I'm Namdar in KNtoran's game, a half-orc rogue.

Welcome, and maybe see you in there! -JP

Introduction Eienkage

Ah. Thank you. Been doing a LOT of reading today. I've actually already read the Newcomer F.A.Q top to bottom. I'm thinking of playing a monster as a race if I'm permitted. It'd be a nice change. I'm still a little lost, but I tend to catch on to things quickly. I'll just read up on things a bit more.

I may have to finish up tomorrow, though. I've had a lot of homework from classes lately. Especially in Calculus.

Introduction Eienkage

I think the closest you can get to monster race is half-orc, as more or less you need to use the character creator page that is linked to, which only has the few standard races and classes, but it's up to the GM(s) of course, so check out the Questions threads.

Eienkage Introduction

Oh. Okay. I just get frustrated when I'm given set limits, like the character generator, and I have the ability to create a class and race on my own that are not overpowered, but better fit my play style. I'm not complaining, though. I don't want to be misunderstood. I just like doing things no-one has done before. For example, I was hoping I would be able to play the race "Shadar-Kai", or "Eladrin" and a modified "Ninja" or "Shadow scout" class. But I can probably do just as well with a halfling rouge.

Eienkage Introduction

I would like to invite you to my campaign, Dark Calling. Search for links with the Dark Calling title in them for more information.

I'd be happy to. Thanks for the invite. Is it possible for me to play both campaigns at once?
