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. ;)

Well, the first time ever I played Rifts, I was hopelessly out of my depth and nearly got us all killed with a bad roll and some of the people I was playing with were more than a little itimidating. This time, three of the four of us playing hadn't really played much before, and Dex was GM-ing, which made it much easier and much more fun. I didn't feel like a nong for not knowing which dice to roll and all the rest of it.

*grins* Never feel like a nong for not knowing these things. Every roleplayer has to start somewhere and if you tell people at the beginning that you're a newbie then a good group will be ready for the questions and will usually give you tips and hints about your character class/ what different phrases mean and the like.

At least, that's what my first gaming group was like. :) Glad you had fun this time, mate. :)
