DarK_RaideR Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 In other news, I finally remembered to drop by my local hobbystore yesterday and join a D&d 5th. ed. party. Players and NPCs are giving me weird sideways glances. I don't get it. What could possibly creep them out about a Lawful Evil Tiefling Warlock allied with the Zentharim? 2 Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment

Purple_Panda Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I just can't play Neutral or Evil characters. A soon as the DM throws a innocent in peril, even my Chaotic Evil characters start going soft... Worst I played was a Witch in Paladium; and that was just pure fun, as I really had no say against what the demon told me to do... that session ended in a rewind to the start of the session "So a guy walks up to you and asks if he can join." what just happened is what flashes through your mind. Rerolled a Knight. I love me some Knights! Foot note, I plan on posting on the RP thread today; I'll put "LOADING PLEASE WAIT" and edit it with my response shortly there after, will probably be around 8PM tonight. Been to busy too sneak a post in with any great length the last two days. Quote -Purple_Panda Link to comment
ravnos Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I've never been able to play pure good or pure evil characters. My standby was always Chaotic Neutral or Chaotic Good. Pesky laws get in the way... 1 Quote Level 5 Viking Berserker Str: 10 | Dex: 10 | Stam: 8 | Con: 15 | Wis: 18 | Cha: 12 Battle Log || Current Challenge Log Fitocracy | My Fitness Pal | Runkeeper Twitter | Xbox Live: ravnos13 | PSN: CrawlingChaos13 Nintendo ID | Steam ID | Battle.net: ravnos#1547 Link to comment

DarthSnuggles Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 So many Warlocks! My 5e character is a Warlock (Archfey) with the Entertainer background, which basically means she's a 'lock disguised as a Bard. Her entire life story, including her pact with the Queen of Air and Darkness, can be pretty much summarized with the phrase "Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time!" which makes her pretty fun to play. (As you can probably guess, she's CN.) I just can't play Neutral or Evil characters. A soon as the DM throws a innocent in peril, even my Chaotic Evil characters start going soft...I find that the only way I can play an evil(ish) character is to play LE with a rigid personal code, or NE where "evil" basically boils down to "extremely selfish." Then again, I have a hard time playing purely good, as well, possibly because I love rogues so much. My characters usually fall somewhere along the neutral or chaotic spectrum, with CG being the about the best I can manage for "good." 2 Quote Dwarven Adventurer, level 0.

Terinatum Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I've always wanted to play an evil character (Lawful mostly, because I like the idea of evil with a code). But every DM I've ever had said no way! I tried to talk them into it by explaining the idea of being the pendulum pusher in a society is pure excitement. It wasn't about stealing from or not helping my fellows. I wanted to start something and see where a community if people would take it. Do all people have their best come out in a crisis?What fun would it be to just keep adding to one side of good or evil? Boring! lol Anywho.. love the gang so far! @cn3wton -- Elves are taller than humans in this edition, right? Or was I looking in the wrong spot? I rolled numbers that got Flo to 5'10" and 145 pounds. Let me know if I should change it, thanks. EDIT:: Ah, 5'9" and 108 pounds I'm a stick!! Thx 1 Quote The Way Better Now than Back Then Better Now than Later On Link to comment

Jaxton Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I've only RP'd in Forum based stuff, post by post, power levels and such more fluid and restricted by common sense rather than dice. "Honor system" on giving/taking hits(which doesn't always work, but is great fun when it does). I've just never had anyone to do D&D type stuff with, and the initial costs are a bit too much for me right now when I don't necessarily have a group to play with in the first place. I hate to ask, and I'm cool if you say no, but do y'all still have room for another slot?

I'm going to have to say no, right now we are sitting at 6. I can leave it up to everyone else in the group, but I think we are full sadly... There seems to be a lot more interest than expected in doing something like this. We will have to try and figure something out so we can have more ppl.

cn3wton Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 Hey guys I have capped off the number of players to 6 for this journey. I have started an OOC thread after Gainsdalf's suggestion. I have posted the next part of the story (as it is relatively simple and I think everybody knows every now). Please tell me your initiative in the OOC so I can establish turn order. We should stop posting here about our specific game... I hope everybody stops by and sees whats going on. And I am hoping this goes well so that we can do more. I am also holding out hope for a warhammer game soon! 1 Quote "All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R Tolkien "Progress, not perfection."

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 People drop out quite often in these forums things. Hopefully that's not the case in this game, but if it turns out to be, maybe DM will let you take over a character. 2 Quote Massrandir, Barkûn, Swolórin, The Whey Pilgrim 500 / 330 / 625 Challenges: 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 31 32 34 35 36 39 41 42 45 46 47 48 49 Current Challenge "No citizen has a right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training.

DarK_RaideR Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I just can't play Neutral or Evil characters. A soon as the DM throws a innocent in peril, even my Chaotic Evil characters start going soft...I don't see your point. Most of my evil characters would save that innocent in peril. He'd just owe them his servitude, his property and his firstborn son afterwards Gains, I have had to re-read your RP post at least 3 times due to laughing so hard'. Bronan is killing me'I'll second that. I like how we've struck a good balance keeping it humorous without getting a completely ridiculous parody. Kudos, team. I find that the only way I can play an evil(ish) character is to play LE with a rigid personal code, or NE where "evil" basically boils down to "extremely selfish."I've been mostly DMing, so I'm familiar with evil types. I just put plenty of research into them so they make sense and sometimes I'll talk groups into running an evil adventure just for a change. There are many finer shades and usually it boils down to a character's motives and methods. I've played a lawful evil cleric of Hextor, who believed in militaristic order and war weeding out the weaklings (Epic moment: "I don't do heals. You've proven yourself weak, so you deserve to bleed to death"). I've played a NE rogue who put personal interest before everything else and at the expense of everything else. I've played a LE fighter who was chivalrous to the bone, borderline paladinous, until the last moment when he was made general of the kingdom, slew the king and became a tyrant (bit of Arthas-Palpatine mix there). Caricature surface evil goes nowhere. I hate to ask, and I'm cool if you say no, but do y'all still have room for another slot? There's indeed plenty of us already, but it'll be a short adventure instead of a grand campaign. Partly because of what Gains said, Play by Posts rarely last for long periods of time. Next round it'll be new people and a new system, so stay tuned! I am also holding out hope for a warhammer game soon!SOON... 1 Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment

DarK_RaideR Posted September 11, 2014 Report Share Posted September 11, 2014 I'd throw a few Slaanesh warcries to the mix, but it'll go beyond Rated-R Interesting to see so many chaos people about. Surprising how Black Crusade didn't go so well on the spreadsheet. Perhaps I should consider running a Warhammer game where the players are cultists instead of Imperials? 2 Quote Lvl 65 Multitasker Link to comment
