Hello, and Welcome New Members, Thread 12

[BlackMage19]

I've been playing D&D 4e sporadically for about a couple of years now, and I've checked out the forums on occasion for guides and tips on character building, but I've just now gotten the push to create an account here. Not sure how often I'll be posting here, but I'm sure it'll be a fun time.

[KoboldScribe-KS]

Plenty of RL experience Dming and rping but having moved ... I dont have the righ schedule to do that atm. Sooooo I was wandering the internet and found this place.

So hi and hope this leads to something.

[Emiliow]

Hello everyone I am new here to this forum. I am also new to the format of PbP and not completely familiar to RPGs in general. I've played some IRL and I now things like Roll20 is an option, I just don't like to keep check of all the different time zones, and furthermore I am interested in this format of roleplaying. :)
So I hope to engage in several good sessions and have a good time. I am mostly looking to play D&D 5. So cheers to you all!

[TheMadDoktor]

Howdy, everyone.

Call me Dok, pretty much everyone does.

I'm the support/healer fanatic, and grarrrg's Oradin guide is my bible.

Other than that, I'm pretty damn lame.

[Johnny America]

Hi all new member here and regular reader of the forums (specifically the optimization side...) used to be a part of a regular gaming group but haven't been able to get in on any of their sessions cause I got myself some regular gainful employment. Luckily I knew about GitP's play by post forums...

[Cartophyllus]

New to this forum. I've played Dungeon's & Dragon's since the very first three book, boxed set (I have my copy in the closet). I exited Dungeons & Dragons with the 4th edition. Now, with more time on my hands than I like, I've taken up the call of the game with the fifth edition.

As a player, I prefer Wizards to all other classes (the Eldrich Knight was a favorite of 3.5) and enjoy deep roleplay. As a DM, I like long, intricately plotted games.

I've started the creation of a new homebrew campaign and look forward to getting to know the people here.

[ZeroiaSD]

Hi! I'm a longtime OotS reader, but joined here for the gaming forum, since I desire more Play-by-Post gaming in my life. I've been at other gaming fora like RPGnet, so, just expanding my horizons a little.

[Finback]

Hi there, long time lurker, first time poster. Well, not quite true, as I just joined so I could reply to someone who provided an app for use with 5e. I've been reading for over a year now, and playing 4e for about three years. I recently began DMing for a 5e game, which is still in its infancy, with one old school player, one who has been playing 5e a while, and three totally-new-to-RPGs. I played a bit of 2e in high school, but that mostly devolved into a series of Monty Python references, silliness, and just tapered off. It's telling my character was a minotaur fighter named Shey Ven Yac, and my preferred weapon was the dwarf (who carried a lot of knives).

Otherwise, I'm working as an A/V technician at a university in Western Australia, but my background is in zoology/palaeontology/genetics; and my last two jobs were as a librarian. Go figure. I have an extensive collection of Transformers figures, and used to play Magic: the Gathering *a lot*. Enough so that the last time I whittled down my collection, I was able to sell off about 3000 cards, and still have two large boxes full :S

Otherwise, now I'm here, I hope to post semi-regularly :)

[BoringInfoGuy]

Hello there

Been reading OOTS since it's early days. But never joined these forums till now. Back in the 3.5 days, I spent far too much time discussing rules on the WotC D&D forums. Just really enjoyed digging into the nuts and bolts of the 3.5 mechanics. At the time, that felt like a bad match for the GitP forums. ("Comic X won't work because rule Y states..." Yech, no desire to be that guy.)

Dropped out of the WotC forums for a while when the rules went to 4th edition.

Much later, I poked my head back into those forums and wished I hadn't. That place had become so toxic, it's no surprise they got closed down. (Easy to see why the rules here are so strict)

Personally, I don't care which edition of D&D or other game system / play style you like. What I do care about is people not attacking each other over those preferences.

My name is rather long, and a bit of a bother to type out. For the record, I prefer to go by just Boring for short. Or Boring-kun around the otaku. Being called BIG or Mr BIG has always irked me. Feels like a dime store novel mob boss name.

Anyway, this seems like a good community, and I hope to be a positive contributer to it.

[Vivee]

Salutations beautiful people! My character name is Blue Pathfinder playing Pathfinder with house rules.
(Original name, ain't it?)
I started reading OoTS from a book that my big brother owned, years later, I wanted to read more, so I ended up at this site.
It's been a couple months now, and here I am signing up for the forums.
Anyways, I hope to have a great time here!

[Ninten]

Hi there, I'm Ninten, I'm a new user here and I'm excited to start my very first Pbp Call of Cthulhu campaign here on GITP!

[SuckerBob]

Hey, I'm new to the forum but I've been reading OOTS for more than a year now and get hyped with every new page. I joined to play d&d 5e through text posts with friends, but decided that I might as well get in on the rest of the forum. This seemed like a thread in which to do that. So, hi to everybody (including other new people)

[SciencePaladin]

Hello, I've been reading the Order of the Stick for 6 months and decided to join. I play dnd 3.5 and I'm currently DMing a campaign. My favorite classes are wizards and paladins and I also like science as shown by my username.

[DeadpanSal]

Huh. I forgot I had this account... when did I join again?

...2007. Cripes. So this is how Steve Rogers felt.

[AshfireMage]

Hi everyone! My name is AshfireMage! I just got into tabletop a few years ago, but I'm really enjoying it. Mostly play DnD 3.5, but looking to get into OWoD, too.

[RyumaruMG]

Well, um, hi everyone.

I'm RyumaruMG, I've been reading OOTS for a while (back before the end of the first Azure City storyline, even) and generally lurking around various other places on the internet. Guess it never occurred to me to get an account here until now! So, here I am.

I've been interested in D&D for about as long as I can remember - my dad introduced me to the 2nd Edition - and I recently started reading through 5th. Really liking it so far! I'm also a huge fan of Exalted, although not as much anymore, and I've been collecting books for various other RPGs like the New World of Darkness and Shadowrun. My most recent acquisition in terms of new game systems is Valor, which looks like a ton of fun. A friend of mine is also getting me into Warhammer 40K. Orks is da biggest and da strongest!

Outside of tabletop stuff I do a lot of reading, with Discworld and Redwall being among my favorites, and a lot of video gaming. I maintain a modest YouTube account with some gaming videos and I write and homebrew stuff in my spare time outside of that.

Looking forward to hanging around here! Although, to be fair, I'm probably mostly just going to lurk.

[Commodore]

Hola, long time lurker, first (few) times poster.

Hello

[BriantheGinger]

After lurking for months, I finally decided to make an account of mine own. Despite never playing a game of DnD in my life, I've been able to follow along and enjoy this comic.

Greetings to all of you.

Hi, I am kinda new to the forums, but I love the comics!!!
