Hello And Welcome New Members Thread 9

"Captain, they're hailing us from Finland."
"On screen, lieutenant."

Hello!

The Kickstart did it. It kicked my as... behind enough to finally participate a bit more in this forum. I've been a silent lurker over two years. Last Summer I bought some OOTS books and registered myself to the forum, but for some reason I still continued lurking and did not write any messages to any threads (I've enjoyed reading the topics though). But the Kickstarter campaign prompted me to finally write my first message into this thread and to finally say "Hello" to everybody.

I'm a RPG veteran, having played my first sessions a bit over 20 years ago. However, I'm not currently playing very much, maybe a couple of times during the last two years. I've played several RPG's, including at least three versions of D&D: one of the versions of the original D&D, AD&D second edition and D&D 3rd edition. Thus I understand pretty well the D&D background of OOTS. That said, I'm not here to read D&D-gags, I'm here to enjoy well written and entertaining story, surprisingly deep characters and even more surprisingly emotional art.

Well, 'nuff said (to quote Stan Lee). Once again: hello to everybody, let's see if I keep posting more than one message in six months.

Hi, ZombieSocket, passons, and Musta Nuoli! Welcome to the Playground

[godspit]

Hey guys. I've been reading Order of the Stick for years, but never really bothered to start up an account until now. So just throwing in my greetings.

[Strawberries]

Hello, godspit! Welcome to the forum!

Any question you may have, feel free to ask.

[Abel XIV]

Hello everyone *bows*, my name is Abel and I come from RPG Haven referred by a friend of mine, Cain (Cipherthe3vil here). Originally I had only joined not to loose contact with her, but this site looks quite interesting, so I might stick around.

And well, appart from that I only have to say that I'm glad to meet you all ^^~.

[Harugami]

Hello, my name is.... and I'm a shut in. I found this site when looking for a way to find a pathfinders group for skype that meets more then once a week and wont ditch me for missing a single game. I'm still learning how to play and i love a good story which makes pathfinders like meth to me. I was hoping for a nightly thing, maybe like 3 or 4 times a week if it works. I just want to interact with people who wont judge me and run a few dungeons that aren't trite and scripted like every mmo on the internet. I have all the books for pathfinders and a character sheet program I'm just looking for a group with an open slot or some people who want to make a group.

[Kalmageddon]

Welcome Abel and Harugami!
I'm new here too, but this community seems full of nice people and it's very active, I'm sure you'll fit right in!

[Apollomasque]

Hello, Apollomasque here.
Long standing fan of OOTS and fantasy/sci-fi in general.

I hail from The Far Off Land Of Toronto, Canada. Current University student that recently joined a DnD group.

I'm a generally laid back guy, prone to bouts of megalomania on occasion. Usually feel like I'm the smartest guy in the room, or at least the only one with an ounce of common sense, especially when I'm really not. Then again, who doesn't?
I often engage in experiments that, while not unscrupulous could be classified as pointlessly dangerous. I tore open a hole in the fabric of causality last month, still don't have a clue about what to do with it.

How does Ongoing Games (In-Character) work? I can't understand it.

[Savannah]

Welcome to the forum, LibrarianHuntar!

How does Ongoing Games (In-Character) work? I can't understand it.

You apply to one of the games in Finding Players (Recruitment) and if you're accepted, the DM will make a thread in Ongoing Games and you and the other accepted players will post there. Check out the Guide to Play-by-Post Games in Finding Players (it's stickied up near the top); it's a really good introduction to pbp games!

Also, you might want to take a peek at the rules for signature height

Huh. Never saw any signature length rules, but I'll fix that now.

[Harry]

Hi everyone my name is Harry I've been Reading the comic then I checked out the forum it look fun so... Yea I sign up

[McNum]

Hello everyone!

I've been lurking here for a long, long time, but the Kickstarter project got me to register. How long time? Since about comic #50. I think I have a somewhat good idea on how things work around here. I'll try not to get in or cause trouble.

I have a little D&D 3.5 experience both as a player and a DM, although my DM'ing stint kind of didn't work out. No big story to tell, it just died slowly. I kind of miss it, though, but it's alright. I'll probably be hanging out in the Gaming (Other) subforum for most of my posts, and of course the OOTS subforum. OOTS is why I keep returning here, after all.

Anyway, hi again! I look forward to being a bit less lurky now that I can actually post.

[Reindofall]

Hey new here. Nice to be here. Hope everyone else is having a good time.

[Viera Champion]

Welcome Harry, McNum, and Reindofall.

If you have any questions, I am your man.

[Chaotic Queen]

Hi, everyone! Been a fan for years and I decided to sign up!

[docanthrax]

Hi all. Same as most people - been reading for years, and just now decided to join up - mainly down to the amount of Rping items I seem to find through Google.

So I guess I'll just settle down, get a cat and start really working on my plans for world domination :D

[Draconian]

Hello everyone.

I've been reading the OOTS comic strip for about a year now and occasionally reading some of the forum posts. Decided to register here on the forums partially because I'll get every single OOTS book thanks to the kickstarter reprint drive.

[SamuraiKatana]

Hi long reader of oots new to the forums, so hi all.

[Steven]

Hi everyone. I've been reading the comic for a fairly long time, signed up to the forums in 2008 and never posted.

I thought I'd do something about that....

[A Rainy Knight]

All right, let's make sure I don't miss anyone... *deep breath*

Hey there Chaotic Queen, docanthrax, Draconian, SamuraiKatana, and Steven! Welcome to the Playground (or welcome back to the Playground in that last case)!

[Treharren]

Suppose I should post.

Steve, 31, London, read for years, check daily to procrastinate at work despite the irregular updates...

Hello.

[4mbrosia]

The banner on top told me that I should post here, so hello.

[Valamir]

Hello everyone, I've been lurking here a bit and today i've decided to sign up.
I would like to apologize in advance for my future (or even present) errors in grammar, I'm Italian and my english is a bit rusty

[DiMono]

It's okay, I'm here now.

[nathan cook]

hi everyone! i love order of the stick! i have been reading for a few years now and cannot get enough.
but, as an electrician i have to comment on mr. burlews latest comic.
in fact, its "flemings left hand rule" that has to do with electromagnetic vectors, and not the right hand.
does this mean that vaarsuvius is not as all knowing as we think that she is???

[shekofte]

hail
i am happy for finding this forum

perhaps every human starts painting by stick figures

Fleming had a right hand rule and a left hand rule. The right hand rule deals with the relation between electric current and the magnetic field it produces (or vice versa).

Oh, and I'm new as well. I've been reading for years, but I was too lazy to create an account until now. I mean, uh... the pledge drive inspired me. Hi, everyone.

There are about a billion different right-hand rules. I think in AP Physics we learned three different ones. And I know of several others but forget where they came from or what they're for.

[xianyu118]

OK. So, first of all, hello. I've been reading the comic and enjoying it immensely(causing me to start making a new comic. Again. Sigh...) that I've decided to create a profile and an avatar.

I'm not very good with introductions, due to my awkward shyness and tendency to ramble a lot to those I am familiar with. But I digress.

So, hi.
