I'm using White Wolf's (Hunter: The Vigil), and flipping it, so the players play the humans, and not the monsters. It gives their HP a squishy feeling and makes the combat seem more life or death, like the show. Which helps tremendously with character players. Although, I'm not a heavy rules enforcing DM. If it goes with the story and you aren't going to meta game or break anything, go for it.

What version? 3.5, 4, 5? I played 3.5 for a bit.... I haven't actually played a lot of actual D&D...

We have been playing a lot of 5E. We did play one 3 or 3.5 once.

How do you like it? I've heard it's a lot easier then previous versions. Then again, I liked pathfinder...but I've only played that once as well... lol

It is pretty fun! My husband can make a lot of characters really quickly, but I always seem to take hours.

I take a while too....I would call myself a player actor...I try not to break character unless I'm not in the current event or scene in play....

That is pretty exciting. We all have not been doing a lot of the play acting. Kinda sad about it.

It's so much fun! Have you ever seen Critical Role on Geek and Sundry? It's a DnD game that's recorded and all the players are famous voice actors. Matt Mercer is the DM. Aka.... Mcree. From Overwatch!

Nope, never even heard of that. Is it a tv series? Youtube thing?

YouTube. It's part of geek and sundry's channel.

I want to like Critical Role, since Mercer's voice gives me chills, but I just can't. I get so bored so fasssttt :C

It took me an off week(when all the regular players weren't there, and they did a one off battle arena episode), to get into it. It has a LOOOONG backlog and like...an hour long backstory video for each players character. There's a lot to get bored by if listening to a DND game just doesn't scratch your gaming itch.

Yeah, I feel you. I think a large part of the problem is that it feels like it just sort of jumps in. I dunno.

Voltie — He/Him Posted 7 years ago ( 2017/09/2 22:39:18 )
It does... it expects you to know a LOT about the game before watching, and there isn't a lot of explanation as far as who these people are. :vanora_sweat:

Donator — She/Her Posted 7 years ago ( 2017/09/2 22:41:58 )
Yeah, little bit! I kind of want to just jump in way late in the series and just see if I can pick it up after they've ironed out the quirks and all though

Voltie — He/Him Posted 7 years ago ( 2017/09/2 22:44:59 )
I mean...maybe...to me it feels like more of the same, every episode, but each time they game something crazy or funny does happen....so there's that? lol

Ohh, well, that's exciting to hear, at least! I'll maybe give it another try next time I need a podcast at work, haha.

Please let me exchange goods and/or services for art. <3


Voltie — He/Him Posted 7 years ago ( 2017/09/2 22:48:26 )
Yeah, it's definitely suited more towards the filming aspect of it, but it's nice as a podcast too. I have a friend who's watched like...every single episode of it since it came out. It's his tradition. He does tabletop too, every sunday.

My awesome Art

Ooo, gamers!

Let's see, I play a bit of WoW and GW2 on pc.
Xbox One tag: Nymphaer
Xbox One games, Halo 5, Master Chief edition, Fable series, Call of Duty: Black Ops, Outlast.

If anyone has any recommendations on scary, jump out of your seat, might throw controller at tv games. Let me know. My husband loves playing them as well as I do. We have parties when we play scary games so the guests can scare us more and laugh. Just a good time.
