Happy birthday, @grehberger!
Thank you, Stephan! I've had a very pleasant birthday weekend thus far, celebrating the last year of my 40s with some delicious BBQ ribs.Happy birthday, Devin!
I hope you have (had?) a great day!
I am actually playing Curse of Strahd also right now (or a version of it).
How is your Shadowrun campaign proceeding? (What happened so far?)
Welcome, Greg! I'm a Portlander, too. Living on a farm sounds idyllic, perhaps because I've never done so myself, but living in the country looks lovely. I've been breaking into solo gaming a bit myself, though I have difficulty sticking with it since I'm easily distracted and have a LOT of games on my shelf.Hello Everyone,
My name is Greg and I currently live on a small farm with my wife and kids, near Portland Oregon. I've been back in the TTRPG world since Jan of 2021, after a 38 year hiatus. My wife coaxed me into GMing for my oldest kid and some friends due to losing his group when Covid hit. Nearly 18 months later and my kids has dropped out, but I've kept the rest of the group meeting twice a month for a 5e campaign. Besides the 5e group, I do a lot of soloing with a ton of different rulesets.
EDIT: Oh yeah, my favorite die has got to be the d6. I could rule the world with 3 of them (probably).
I do have to wonder how many of us started that way: presented with a cool-looking rulebook that we got a couple of mechanics out of and then just winged everything else for years. I feel like I learned most of the rules from B/X and 1st Edition via osmosis. Didn't keep us from having a great time, though.I'm PigMonkey, I have been playing RPG's since 1984. My friend had the AD&D books and wanted to play, so he gave them to me and I did not read them at all. I didn't know the rules but I knew what I was supposed to do, tell a story and open it to the other guys. If I could remember that adventure I am sure it was crap. Now nearly 40 years later I am still playing, and finally D&D has some mainstream acceptance. RPG's aren't just for dorks anymore! I have been a professional Improviser, Comedian and Podcaster. At the heart of it, I have always been a Table Top Gamer. In 25 years, I am going to run a game night opposite to bingo at the old age home. I cant wait to, screw up all the other old farts by screaming D20!
I am in an abusive relationship with all my dice, they appear to love me, but when I need them they punish me. If I have to give you a favorite die... its the green ones.
That has permeated my games ever since. I have no problem not knowing the rules perfectly. I am always making 'patch mechanics' on the spot. There are really only two rules in RPG's:I do have to wonder how many of us started that way: presented with a cool-looking rulebook that we got a couple of mechanics out of and then just winged everything else for years.

Thank you!Happy Birthday, @Daralynx ! I hope you have a great day.
Hi!Hello new forum members! Welcome!
Please leave a reply and introduce yourself.
Where in the world are you? What game(s) do you GM? How long have you been GMing? What's your favourite sided-die?
I know that as a GM, as a player I am luckier!I don't have a favorite die - they all hate me.
Nice touch!I am planning to have my cremains incorporated into dice and distributed to my friends. Every time they roll a 1, they'll think of me. And they say you're never really gone as long as someone remembers you.
I like it! Genetically modified dice. Groundbreaking!I don't have a favorite die - they all hate me. I am planning to have my cremains incorporated into dice and distributed to my friends.
