D&D stuff

So, I am a pretty big gamer. There are only a hand-full of games I play, but I love them. I mostly play Fallout 4, Skyrim, and Borderlands 2. Those are my main go to games. However, I also enjoy board/card games too. I love Monopoly, Stratego, Outwageous (gambling trivia game from the 90s), Cards Against Humanity (Apples to Apples: Going to Hell edition), and chess. I l iterally collect chess sets. But my all-time #1 favorite game is Dungeons & Dragons (D&D). I have been in several campaigns as a player. My first one, was 3.5e and I was a Sorcerer who thought Familiars can tank (They can't). Second character was in the same campaign, but was a homebrew class. I made Natsu Dragneel (from Fairy Tail) and I was stupid. Next campaign was a 3.5e Lord of the Rings based and I was a Dwarf Dungeon Crasher (a sub-class of Fighter) and it was one of my most successful characters. Then I was in one of my longest running campaigns. It was 3.5e, but we used Skype to talk and Google Docs for the map. It also happened to be a campaign where we were Kobolds (still evil). Zajal was a Winged-Kobold Swordsage, a martial class with supernatural abilities, including fire effects. He was also a master trap maker. A model Kobold. After that came an all Dwarf 3.5e campaign that midway through switched to 5e after the three core rulebooks got released. Vik Zargiz, a Dwarf Warlock of the Fiend who thought he was a Cleric of Moradin. It was fantastic. Well, between the Kobold campaign and the Dwarf campaign, I decided to DM a completely homebrew campaign using 3.5e. I made the world, called Rosale and a continent called Piranor, and was helped in thinking of a over-arching plot. (Thanks to my friend, Brian. Who wrote a book: Legend of Heralde [gods I hope I spelled that right.]) The campaign did not go too terribly well. Due to lack of interest and bad DMing. It eventually got put on permanent hiatus. About 2-3 years ago, I decided to try a new campaign in my world using 5e. New continent, called Hivachan, but about 300+ years after my first campaign during the rise of a new evil trying to take over the Material Plane who is older than the Archdevils. It is still going strong. I've gained and lost a few players, but its still running. I then had a friend ask if I would be willing to let them play when I started a new campaign. So I decided to start a new one while still DMing my other campaign. The new campaign takes place in a very old moment in my world's past during an era called the Deity Wars. Planning for two completely different campaigns and groups is proving to be a fun challenge. I will always reccomend D&D. Whether you want to DM or just play, do it. It is so rewarding to have people having fun in a world of your own design.

I love it.

All the gods of myth and legend are real, but having your prayers answered depends on discovering which god can hear you. You figured out which god is listening to your prayers, but they’re not what you expected.
