Does anyone here play dungeons and dragons?

I do.

What character do you usually roll up?

I usually make a female elven female who is a rogue/fighter. So she can sneak around, sneak attack people but can still fight pretty well. I also make her a lesbian lol.

Naming her is a bit hard, but the hero creator book I bought from the local game shop here in bourke street in the city has some elven names I can just pick out and use for my character.

She's level 3 at the moment, me and my group just went through a dungeon, however our bard died at the hands of a gelantinous cube. I think the DM was being rather harsh by having one of them there as none of us had good spot checks and the DC is 15. WE didnt see it until it engulfed the halfling bard and the player got angry, slammed his fist on the table and then took all the cheetos back home with him

I started playing and DMing in 1978. Just now trying to get up to speed on the 3.5 rules so I can DM once more.

Only if I can be fairly sure that I'll end up in a game that isn't what D&D usually is like.

It seems like the standard setting is heavily biased towards Lawful Good (which seems like a contradiction to me )


I haven't played that many characters, but so I've had a Chaotic Evil Monk (alignment isn't generally an issue with that group) Hauc Feng (Chinese for Black Wind). He wasn't especially evil, but he was very random. He seemed nuts, but he may have been less insane than he seemed. Pretty hilarious character. Oh yeah, and in that game he changed gender about 3 or 4 times. He took it disturbingly well.


Another time with the same group, I had a Rogue Inventor type (there were no non human civilizations in this game). He was an ex revolutionary who was with some union. Something of a contrast to the other character as this one was completely selfless.


I'm planning on setting up one game in which all the players are races traditionally considered 'monsters'. It's looking like it's going to be one fun train wreck. It seems likely that it's going to have a strong 'evil' pull. (MWA HA HA!) It's going to have some interesting themes in it, that many of the players are going to be rejecting morality is going to lend a nice twist to it. (I'm hoping I can get at least one strong moral character in. Half the fun is going to be the interpersonal conflict in the party ^_^)

Had a Lot of fun with it in college and high school. Usually multi class fighter/thieves though I had a Druid for a long time. The I began Traveler , Gurps an Star Fleet Battles but it's been a while

Evil characters are hard to play and to DM. Just a pain. It's called Heroic Fantasy for a reason.

To me, that sort of thing quickly becomes boring. 'Heroic' Fantasy doesn't generally interest me much.

Not unless it's a really strange group of heros.

I love a good ole' Lawful Evil character like an evil wizard or genius warrior.

No, but I think D&D sounds interesting.

How can I begin?

Buy it, read it, memorize it.

D&D would be awesome. I wouldn't have anyone to play it with though.
