I’ve realised I’ve double booked myself and it’s going to be difficult to make the next few Mondays. If anyone wants to take my place feel free, otherwise I’ll see if I can miss my other thing tonight.

No

Not starting tonight, probably next Monday.

You're in a particularly Myp-y mood this morning

As a player, other nice to have accessories are dice (lots and lots of lots of dice!

To give you some context around this, SR characters can easily be rolling 15-20d6 in their primary skills after chargen. If you’re a dedicated optimiser you can get that to 25d6 after some character advancement. Some rolls, like soak, can get to 30+ dice; I once saw a character sheet rolling almost 50d6.

Rolling 50d6 and still not scoring high enough must be a pretty massive let-down.

How divergent from 175 does rolling 50 dice get?

Somewhere between 0 and 125.

Thanks for that useful comment.

Don't worry I worked it out myself.

i think Meteor Swarm is the most die you can roll at once in D&D - 40d6 damage roll in total.

I can’t make the next four Mondays. So unless you want to start mid-December I’m out.

I've just used an online Character creator. Can I whizz you over the PDF, SDG? Just to see if it's ok? I'm currently agonising over which two cantrips and Lv1 druid spells to choose

@sdg ok, sounds good. What character creator do you suggest for a noob?

I like the DnDBeyond walkthrough. https://www.dndbeyond.com/posts/724-new ... -character

Or use a pregen, attached.

Or, if you have an idea of the sort of character you'd like to play, let me know and I can build something for you.

DnDBeyond quick build tool is here https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/bu ... uick-build

That might be including all the spells from all the various other source books - there are loads extra, but I think we're sticking with the PHB.

Also, your backstory kinda makes me think that Zardoth had sex with the deer / gnome that night.

If we're running fortnightly, you'll only miss a couple. If you want to roll a character, there are a couple of spots in the early adventure where coming across a new party member makes sense so I'm happy to have you join later when you're free and I'll just have you start at the current party level (i.e. if they've levelled up to 2, you'll start at 2.)

@Goddess Jasmine Same goes for you, if you get into a routine at work that makes this seem doable again then let me know and we'll introduce your character at a time that makes sense in the adventure. Or, if we decide to start a new adventure once this one is done (it's relatively short in D&D terms but that still means anything between four weeks to four months!) I'll give you first dibs on joining the party to bring us up to six.

I would note that I've been playing a game all year purely on audio chat, it doesn't cause any issues at all

Ginyard I really would like to join in to this. Would it matter if once in a while I'm not around due to madness? Also Just audio only?

I think I fancy being a wizard. Lo and behold, Mypdalf the Badger

Thank you, hopefully next year won't be as chaotic!
