I’m playing the DM. My first in person table top game since 3rd edition. It’s going really well. Three sets of parents with kids. We hire a babysitter to watch them all when we meet.
Thank you for your service
It’s cool. I actually prefer it to being a player.
Same. It’s a real joy if you have a good table. It’s more work though, which makes DMing a bad table that much more painful.
I haven’t actually played this character yet because the group I made it for failed to launch (and I’m currently between tables), but I really want to play this character. He’s a Dwarven Wizard, scion to a massively wealthy trade baron. He got a job as a diviner for the family business and worked there most of his life, but at some point he realized that long-term divination is mostly bullshit, the bit that isn’t is just statistics, and his job is just a sinecure to keep him comfortable since he will likely never run the company (too many older brothers). He studied magic on his own time because he thought it would help him with his job so he has some skill as a wizard. Sometimes he will go to rougher pubs and listen to adventurers talking about their adventures and imagine what it would be like to leave it all behind. Then, after a messy, public divorce, something snaps and he walks out of his job, goes to the outfitter and buys a bunch of fancy equipment, and signs up with the first adventuring crew he can find under an assumed name.
5e. Playing a halfling ranger (beastmaster) with a wolf mount. It’s pretty cool.
Nice! I have a session 0 later today. I’m thinking about playing a halfling eagle totem barbarian
I haven’t played an actual tabletop game in years, but I’m enjoying my current BG3 character and wouldn’t mind translating her to an actual 5e game at some point.
Soliel, the Dancing Flame. She’s a gold dragon bloodline sorcerer/oath of ancients paladin. Zariel Tiefling for them bonus smites. Dex-based, scimitars and unarmored because of the dragon bloodline’s scales giving innate mage armor. Searing smites everywhere.
She’s pretty fun to play, and I imagine in a tabletop game there’d be a good bit of RP potential. I imagine her as being an orphan raised by a priest of Lathander, who ran way to join the circus in her teens, then later put those skills to use as a paladin in the adoptive parent’s memory.
I’ve got a kitsune gunslinger in a homebrew campaign who kind of talks and acts like Captain Picard and a dwarf barbarian in Abomination Vaults who is basically “what if Gimli’s laugh after Legolas asks him if he wants a box was a character?”
Plus I GM a game for my kids and their friends. That one’s super fun.
I’m playing as an escargot bard who fakes his way into success and peoples pants.
What’s an escargot bard? A perfunctory search revealed nothing
It’s a bard who is a snail person

If you’re not currently playing, what character would you like to play?
