Getting my geek on...

[deathpixie]

So, today was spent playing my first ever game of tabletop D&D. It wasn't half as scary as I thought it would be and I quite enjoyed myself. Even with the non-stop running nose of doom. There was dungeon-crawling and then later pirates. I'm still getting used to the whole dice and numbers thing, but the adventuring itself was a lot of fun.

So yeah, crossing over to the geek side, slowly but surely. Although Dex is still working on getting me into the video games. ;)

D and D? Bah! You haven't gamed till you run three completey different campaigns in three completely different game settings in one night... and managed to make a running joke about weasle guns in all of them.

One of these days, I'm going to coerce my sister into doing her "Shady Dwarf" routine as a phone post. You'll split your sides laughing. :)

Baby steps, Jess. *grins* Considering the only other gaming I've done is LJ RPGs (with mixed success) and RRs, getting the hang of the whole tabletop thing will take a little bit of time...

It took me a month to get to that stage. Granted, I started gaming on a regular basis when I was 14 and during the summers gamed 5 days a week in three and a half different games.

*wry*

Jess? I've been gaming for over half my life and still not done that. Not everyone wants to be Hardcore. We're still gamers.

..

On the other hand, I did run a game where in the course of the session, every player broke into song at one point or another.

It gives you something to strive for doesn't it. :0) Or maybe my old campus buddies are a little weird.

That is just as bad. And has happened in one of our games too. Though it was once the Necromancer began belting out 'Hakuna Matata' that I had to bribe the players with more character points to finally got them to stop.

*laughs* I don't intend to =ever= run three sessions in one day with 3 systems. One 9 hour session? Sure. But that much changeup would break my brain. Or prevent eating. Both are bad.

My games work better as 1-3 hour long excursions. I've done longer but I've found after five hours it breaks down into arguments. Sometimes, I hate having to be the voice of sanity in the group.
