Her first

[captain_slinky]

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 :)

Awww how sad :( Our group is 3 chicks, two dudes and a dude GM. It's a good balance :) The focal point of one of our last sessiosn was how to get coupons for cheese danish in to the hands of the Rat-God Cultists (our characters all work at a Bakery/Coffee Shop).

That's freaking awesome. Our group was me and my brother, a couple (Russ and Miranda), and Jason who was there solely to ruin the campaign and the DM.

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.
