Fun with Dungeons & Dragons

[thrillingdetectivetales]

So I'm working on my intoabar story and because I'm needlessly particular in many deeply embarrassing ways, I statted out character sheets on D&D Beyond for both bard/rogue Lew and paladin Dick.

I know at least one of you plays D&D so I figured I might share the sheets here in case that's something you lot feel like you might be into. I built both characters at level 8 because it seemed like a nice "not too low, not too high" starting point. (And also because I'm joining a second D&D game in which the party characters are currently at that level and there's a very real possibility I will use Lew's build in that campaign because it turned out pretty dope.) Behold:

Lew the teifling bard/rogue.
Dick the human paladin.

I think you could make a good case for Dick to start off as Lawful Good and then slowly evolve into a Neutral Good (I'm not sure about Chaotic). In his memoirs he had kind of a chill attitude about his soldiers looting and there was this documentary where he definitely didn't seem too happy about the men doing "bad things" during the war, but he also didn't seem *terribly* bothered by it. Though of course it's very different to talk about this kind of things 60 years later.

I like Chaotic Neutral for Lew! Spot-on. The cool things about Neutral characters is, I think, that both Good and Evil characters can find elements in common with them. (Like, say, Dick and Speirs both liking Lew for very different reasons.)

And baby, I actually played the first time in... '03 or '04. Yep.

The podcast is really cool. I have only listened to the very first campaign (the one that starts here) and the thing is that the players are actually first-time D&D players, so they do a lot of really random and out-of-the-box stuff (while the DM is a proper DM who gets constantly frustrated at their antics). And there's a NPC who's an obese and very vindicative cat.

Please do not ever feel pressured to share anything, but DO feel pressured to stop procrastinating :D

Yeah you have a point there with the lawfulness. I'm pretty sure I was thinking about the times when he specifically didn't adhere to a command HOWEVER to your point, even when he was like, pettily signing himself up for a court-martial or secretly not sending his men on a patrol he still operated within the letter of the law and basically just fire-bombed the spirit of it, haha.

You are the superior D&D queen, lol. And you know, it's funny, but in the other live-play podcast I listen to the last two character arcs have had cat characters, one of whom was a sort of mysterious force of chaos and one of which was GIANT and lived in a chasm in a magical basement, basically.

<333 I have also cued up the first episode of D&D is for Nerds to listen to on the flight to Savannah this weekend~
