Her first
My darling wife,
khristle, has finally had her first *real* Dungeons & Dragons experience and it's just so *cute*!
We've played D&D before, but it's always been 4th Edition which is an okay game and all, but it's just not Dungeons & Dragons. It's a turn-based MMORPG that you play on your kitchen table instead of on your PC.
So we've been playing PATHFINDER, which is basically Dungeons & Dragons 3.75... everything that was awesome about D&D 3.0 and 3.5 mashed together with all the tweaks and modifications that were supposed to get published in the next edition of Dungeons & Dragons if World of Warcraft hadn't come along and made them rethink the entire gaming system.
The biggest difference between our previous D&D sessions and our new Pathfinder sessions is that Crystal *really* gets in to it; there's actual ROLE PLAYING involved :) I can tell she's actually "getting it" now because she likes to talk about her character and her campaign and she'll tell anybody who will listen about this cool thing that happened... just like we all did back in the early days of our first D&D campaigns :)
It's just so darned cool to see it from THIS side, and know thatr it's something every new player goes through :)

I miss having a gaming group. I had a pretty steady game we did in high school but the DM moved to Alabama. Lame. Now I don't know anyone I'd actually want to game with. Around here it's a lot of all boy groups. :(

One of my favorite things ever done during battle was Jason had asked for the ability to summon a God and chose Satan as his God. So we're battling, Jason summons Satan, has a lovely conversation, and goes back to doing ANYTHING but helping us. He also used to try to eat my pony.
Man that was a good game. Also, my brother was the poor guy who had all bad things happen to him.
Mmm danishes. I miss work. If you hadn't noticed all these replies are called THE KIDS ARE NAPPING AND I'M BORED.
