text to all knights

[lowvi]

[Dipper's been a knight for a few months and it's been... great. Really great. But it's not perfect. For one very specific reason.

His Pathfinder group is all the way out in New York and when he ditched to go become an actual knight as opposed to playing one with dice, he left the game as well. They tried skyping him in for a little while, but well, timezones. It was pretty difficult. And he misses it.

He can't be the only one, though, so he sends out a message, hoping there are some like-minded people around. There have to be other nerds here, right?]

Sooo does anyone play Dungeons and Dragons here? Well, more specifically, I'm looking for Pathfinder, but if there's a group going on already, I could even settle for 5e.

[Which. Gross.]

If there's not a group going on... anyone interested in starting one up? Don't worry, I can GM. It's really fun, I promise! The math isn't nearly as hard as you think it'll be.

1/? i'm so sorry

[supertardiness]

oh my god.

[supertardiness]

Okay, so I'm not familiar with Pathfinder necessarily, but I'm a really quick study and we used to play all kinds of systems back when I was in college so just throw the player's manual at me and I'm good.

[supertardiness]

Also, I don't know if anyone has a game already going, but if you're going to start one, is there going to be some kind of magic user cap, because wizard tends to be my class of choice, but I want to know if I should have my back up rogue ready just in case. You can never have too many rogues.

[supertardiness]

Do you have any idea if there's going to be a player limit either? Because my best friend would TOTALLY be down for some D&D action.

[picksthenames]

said best friend here, i am SO down

[lowvi]

Awesome. You have a preferred class?

[picksthenames]

i like playing leader/controller over striker/defender, so probably bard?

you got anything against gnomes? last guy who dmed for me in grad school hated gnomes, wouldnt let anyone play em.

[lowvi]

I mean a thousand or so tried to marry my sister and crown her their queen when we were twelve.

[picksthenames]

oh. kay. thats weird.

[lowvi]

We lived in a very weird town. Anyway, they were not the kinds of gnomes that you find here or in pathfinder. You can definitely play a gnome.

And a bard, though have you played them before? I'm not gonna say bards are entirely useless, they're just ninety percent useless unless you really know what you're doing.

[picksthenames]

its all about the buffs, baby. besides, playing a bard means i get to make a sick tabletop playlist.

with dm permission of course.

[lowvi]

All right, you've convinced me, you can handle bard. And yes, you're welcome to make a playlist. It'll be the first game I've ever run with a DJ.

[supertardiness]

I knew I could count on you. Dude, why did we never play back in Central City?

[picksthenames]

bc metas were always running around causing mayhem. idk, i havent been in a proper campaign since grad school.

[supertardiness]

Neither have I. I didn't even think about how much I missed it.

[picksthenames]

absence makes the heart grow fond of rolling 20-sided dice.

[supertardiness]

Agreed. Now to read up on Pathfinder magic rules.

[He might even take his time with this - for ... about as long as he can stand taking his time.]

[picksthenames]

you going to magic it up? im thinking bard myself.

okay, i think he's done

[supertardiness]

[There's an actual pause between this text and all the rest.]

... Wow, sorry, that was a lot in a really short span. I should let you talk now.

I am dying

[lowvi]

[Dipper got so excited because with his phone practically vibrating out of his pocket, he thought he had so many takers and oh welp, it's one guy.

Well, points for enthusiasm, anyway.]

You're one of the first to respond, so you and your friend are in and you can totally dibs the wizard! Pathfinder's a lot like 3.5, so if you've played that, you'll definitely be able to pick it up. I'm Dipper, by the way.

[supertardiness]

Barry. Barry Allen.

And yeah, I've played 3.5. So this should be a breeze then. I'll get to work on my sheet.

[YESSSS Nerd things.]

[lowvi]

Cool, let me know if you have questions? It's pretty similar like I said but there are still some differences.

[supertardiness]

Will do. And let me know if there's anything I need to know for character building.

[lowvi]

Sure, I haven't actually picked a campaign yet, but I'll let you know when I do.

[supertardiness]

Awesome. Thanks for running this, man.

[He means it.]
