[Meta thread] Iron's PokeRole Adventure: The Skull Ruins

[Lord Windos]

Oh. As always, enjoy playing!~ With so much and regular D&D Sessions, I just asked myself how you got into it/how it started, maybe you're up to share it at some point.

I'll certainly will be snoozing already at late night after your time.

Spoiler

Ahh it went great. We slew a great demon (I am a Viking paladin, filled with the holy power of the Gods of War) and recovered a dangerous sword that needs to be locked away in our vault. I came within inches of Valhalla at least three times, and dished out awesome amounts of radiant damage. Now I am level 6!

I got into D&D by finding my dad's old Starter Set. Played with my cousins in middle school (pre-teen), then found some friends with a regular group in high school (teenager). It's best if you get to spend some time as a player, then you can move on to being a GM. 

In college I eventually brought up the topic around all my new friends, and found four people who were willing to play every single weekend! My college also had a Gamer's Club which included D&D - and they allowed non-students to come too. 

When I entered the workforce, I moved really far away from my college, but I found a board game club here and recruited some players from that. I also taught a bunch of my community theater members to play, and now several of them have become GMs in their own right. So right now I'm involved in three separate campaigns, one where I'm the GM and one where I'm the Viking. In the third I am a Dragon Expert.

Two of the campaigns meet once per month, and the other meets bi-weekly.

So you play as a Paladin of Odin that helps keeps the world safe? Sweet! Keep on praising, inspiring your party, and Laying on Hands when necessary!

My my, your certainly more outgoing and active than I ever managed to be! I can hardly keep up between both mine and your campaigns mate, but I'm certainly happier for it, since all that experience goes in to making our game top quality! Wish I knew a few more groups around my campus that played D&D so I could play some more Patherfinder/traditional tabletop gaming, but if all else fails I can always start my own group IRL after reading up waaay more. Thanks for sharing all this, Iron, and all the hard work you've put into the game even if I don't always agree with it!
