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.

What the hell. Why not? Count me in.

[lowvi]

Cool! You ever played before?

[highnotes]

Had a friend show me the ropes awhile back. Haven't played much, but I'm a quick learner.

[lowvi]

Yeah, it's not as complicated as everyone makes it seem. [Dipper you filthy liar.] Any thoughts on what class you'll play?

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?

[supertardiness]

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

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.]

[buttholy]

Wow, that really takes me back -- I played in college, a little bit. I'm in.

[lowvi]

Nice. What systems have you played? And you have a preferred class? So far we just have a wizard dibsed.

[buttholy]

3e. Pathfinder's kind of the same, right? I'm not too worried about it. And paladin is good. Like, literally good, I guess, but also the one I want.

1/2

[lowvi]

Yeah, they're pretty similar. A few differences that make it a more easily streamlined experience. A paladin? Really?

2/2

[lowvi]

I mean... that's fine. If you want.

[mabeljuice]

Nerd.

[and then, a second later, she texts:]

Ugh. Does this mean I'm gonna have to start Princess Ariellana from scratch.

[lowvi]

You could always make a new character. For the new game.

[mabeljuice]

You don't just retire a classic.

[does_not_sparkle]

What, no World of Darkness love?

[lowvi]

Eh, I have nothing against it, but it's not how I roll.

[Get it?? Roll??]

[does_not_sparkle]

As long as you don't roll with d12's
