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. ;)

Well, considering my character is a monk of the unarmed arse-kicking variety, I think I've got ninjas covered too. ;)

Although I'm not allowed to have escrima sticks. *pouts*

Provided Dex is using the same rules we are (D&D, 3.5), monks get weapons, but only -very- specific ones. I don't know if there's an equivalent for escrima sticks.

*nods* Yeah, I do have access to some stuff, although there's no escrima equivalent. I do have kama and shuriken, tho'. ;)

Dual-wielding sianghams.

Is that what those are? I looked in the weapons guide and couldn't find an actual description beyond "exotic weapon monks can use". And I forgot to google it every time I was actually near a computer. *wry*

It's a made-up weapon. Think those little flexible batons with a weighted metal tip. If you want to house-rule in escrima sticks, the easiest way to do them is identical to clubs for damage and such.

That would explain the complete lack of knowledge then. *wry*

Think I'll stick with my enchanted quarterstaff and kama. Besides, I have Stunning Fist and that's actually going to be a lot of fun when I'm not fighting barrow wights...
