[ in this attractive shade of red!! ]

sup everyone it's Michael again
now with a BRAND NEW PAINTJOB (check it!!)
ok but seriously i got two things to say

first off: last time i posted on here i made promises about sharing stuff i got from out my portal basement
and i wanna make good on those promises cause it'd be a dick move to do otherwise.
so i was wondering if anybody's up for pulling a D&D group together?
disclaimer: i have never played D&D IRL, and also the DM guide i hauled out my portal is both hilarious AND useless because who has the time to memorize every single page of that?? (spoilers: not me!)
but i got dice and enthusiasm and a broad strokes understanding of how it works which imho makes up for it
i also dragged a handful of board games and stuff out so as much as it pains me i'm also putting those out there if anyone gets bored of questing and wants to just kick back and chill.
i dunno where is the best place to do any of this but i'm open to ideas!

second
no joke but last week i opened my front door to find an oldtimey milkbox crammed full of pecans.
i mean SERIOUSLY crammed. there are more pecans here than i could ever want to eat.
so if anyone wanted to make pecan pie, or literally anything else with pecans? i am totally willing to share my windfall
i'll even do home delivery if ya want!

what's dnd?

I see you've joined the land of colored text. Welcome.

[He's obviously teasing.]

I would be so interested in a board game night of any sort, though. I really miss playing games and doing normal things like that.

I know how to play D&D. I used to play in a group back before my life went to shit.

[retrobeats]

[ they sure can't! it is the blessing of text. ]

dungeons and dragons!
so it's like a tabletop rpg
tl;dr a bunch of us get together, roll up characters like an elf barbarian or a dwarven wizard or w/e (there's a whole ton of options) and pretend to go on adventures
one of us would be the dungeon master who keeps an eye on the game and helps guide where the story's going
yknow if enough of us are interested!

[photoshooter]

oh wow! i think i've heard of something like that. super old school!
i'll play if you don't mind a total noob at your table!!

[retrobeats]

truly it is a great honor to finally be here. thank you from the bottom of my heart

but omg right?!
i thought there had to be some people that did!! i mean some of you have been stuck here for how long now?

[messianic]

It's a good color. Very readable. I always feel bad for the yellows who can barely be read unless you highlight their text.

But anyway yeah. It's been like six-ish month, I think? Way too long to go without even board games.

[retrobeats]

oh.
sorry to hear your life went downhill??
i feel like i should probably acknowledge you said that so...
you think you'd be up for playing again and schooling us all or are your D&D days gone for good?

[retrobeats]

haha you know it!
also c'mon seriously like i'm gonna say no to you playing?? tbh i'm not that far off in total D&D noob-yness either so you're in good company

[retrobeats]

let us have a moment of silence for our sun-colored friends

WORD. that is way too long for anyone, dude
like i know you all had other stuff to focus on like surviving??
but there's more to life than doing quests and fighting werewolves

[photoshooter]

haha oh man. if you're running the game and you're a noob too i can only imagine it's gonna end in disaster. can't wait!!
so why's it called dungeons and dragons?

[whichcraft]

I guess it depends on who's playing and what they want to get out of it?

Like if it's just eight straight hours of guys hyping up how good they are at putting pointy things into fleshy targets, I've already had enough of that for a lifetime.

Also we'd have to find somebody around here who can make a pizza.

[retrobeats]

WOW ye of little faith!!! i'll at least make sure it's a glorious disaster!! or a hilarious one LMAO
or maybe someone with actual exp will take pity on us and be our DM
so i think the story is that the guy who came up with it let his kid name it or something? iirc

[photoshooter]

awwwwwww that's cute!
do the games always take place in a dungeon? no offense, but real dungeons SUCK. it's nothing at all like the video games. 凸(｀△´＋）

[retrobeats]

1. i mean i'd like to think i'm a little more creative than that but you can be the judge
2. was that a euphemism

ALSO: hell yes!!! i can only just bake a box mix cake on my own tho so we'd definitely have to outsource that one.

[messianic]

You won't hear any arguments from me. I'm all about chilling and playing games. I'll bring snacks or food if you have a board game night.

[whichcraft]

1) Then sure, I'll give it a shot.

2) No I literally mean I spent several months in the solo company of five idiot boys who embodied a perpetual collective existence of hurr hurr look how good I am with SORDS GUYZZ SOOOOOORDS!!! and by the end of the first week I already had a plan to kill every one of them in their sleep.

I have no idea what it is about swords that makes boys so stupid.

[ Mikleo doesn't know what some of those abbreviations mean. A game and a guide no one wants to read or memorize. What he can understand is... ]

I recieved a crate of raspberries if you'd like to do a trade. Two cups worth each? Or I could turn it into jam or preserves first if you would prefer.

(color!)

so this d&d is a storytelling game?
that sounds interesting

i won't be able to take any of the pecans off your hands, however
i received a container of them myself

#03B2F7

[withwisdom]

[ she doesn't know what d&d is either, but she read up the forum to see michael's response to prompto. a pretend adventure game, hm. ]

Your game sounds intriguing. Out of curiosity, what purpose does the dice serve? A roll to see how many steps we can take in a turn?

[Colour. He hates it and wishes he had a nice readable red.]

Dude will you trade me some pecans for bananas, I have way too many bananas and I'm hoping someone else likes them.

Like, me and my friend Keith both got bananas. I've honestly run out of recipes to make with them.

[he also wants to do d&d but he'll tackle one thing at a time]

[bittybat]

The guide is one of the most important books for your dungeon master. You won't even be able to begin playing without a DM anyway.

[retrobeats]

i totally hear what you're saying but
when i say the copy i have is hilarious and useless i mean that literally
half the pages are all blurry and the readable half are super vague?? probably down to portal memory weirdness.

[retrobeats]

you got bananas?!
you got yourself a trade!! i never thought i'd miss bananas this much but a few weeks in this town changes a man
how much (many??) pecans do ya want?
