Bob--you should come up with a character that is from present day Earth, who somehow gets transported into a D&D world! I'm sure any DM would snap that character concept up in an instant!
Seriously, you're welcome to submit a character for the campaign I'm currently brewing.

I dunno. I think I'd like to participate first in a face-to-face game where people don't mind a complete newbie asking questions. I'm clearly missing the point of it all and I really need to learn it first before I just muck up someone else's good time unintentionally.
I tried lurking in one of the e-mail based games, but it was too hard to keep track and, not being in the game, I quickly lost interest.

Well, I completely respect that, but if you change your mind feel free to send me a character (not that I've made public the necessary details of the campaign yet). I certainly won't mind having an inquisitive newbie or two in the group.

Ahhh this game sounds so cool. I want to learn how to play so bad, it really sounds like my kind of game. I just don't where to start and how I'm going to learn all those rules Posts: 853 | Registered: Feb 2004

I don't remember my first character, but I remember my favorite NPC.
I started DMing shortly after I learned to play. One of the first villians the players ran into was Mendax.
He was a devil, when the game allowed you to play devils. He wanted your soul and made life threatening dungeons to steal them. More often, he told lies and he told truths all to convice people to give in to their dark side.
The Truth was more productive than lies in getting people to turn evil.
He was fun to play.
He showed up in almost every campaign I created after that.
I confused one group for over a year. They were ready for Mendax, but were taken totally by surprise by a guy named Xadnem
Some of my players grew up and played elswhere, taking Mendax with them. He showed up in campaigns in Europe among other places.
He showed up in a play I wrote in College, and a novel I'm working on now.

Dan, we've had a long running NPC like that. He's been from one campaign to the other, killed, reborn, incinerated and reintegrated.
His name was Quasmo the Odd, and odd he has always been. If there was a plot to be schemed, he was behind the schemers. If there was a war to be fought, he'd be on the sidelines watching from his pavillion. If there was debauchery, he brought the bauch... a real classy guy.
Last he was seen, reincarnated as an opossum and left to fend for himself.
He'll be back some day. Can't wait.

I sneak a recurring NPC into all my campaigns. The party never meets him, though, because he always hangs out in a bar on the other side of the game world and never does anything worthy of note. Nor does he have much of a personality. But if he dies, the entire planet will be destroyed through a series of unique coincidences.
By doing this, I resist the urge to put a favorite NPC into any of my games. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999
