Roleplaying
Mar. 8th, 2007 07:24 pmIt was pleasant. Everyone seemed to get on well, which was very nice, though possibly slightly crowded with five people trying to sort things out at once :( Character creation was a bit drawn out, but they had some cool ideas, and I hope next sessions will be fun.
I need to work better on making mechanics go past quickly, though I was glad we had this session to give the general idea, and with new characters and two people new to DnD it's difficult to fix.
My favourite moment was when I was introducing the slightly creepy, slightly comical, slightly tragic, slightly frenetic nemesis, and told people the music to imagine was "hall of the mountain king", and half the room broke into humming while I portrayed the insane defiant speech :)
Next week real plot should start; I hope the players will enjoy it :)
Characters:
Biffa (sp?) aka Biffa Goblincleaver, Dwarven Meatshield. Catchphrases, I'm not sure, but I suspect affinity for eviscerating a rushing horde of goblins, and fluffy things.
Cob (sp?) aka Exotic Sneaky Guy, human Exotic Sneaky Guy.
Althea aka, Half-Elf High Bard
Violet, aka Violent, aka Barbarian Rouge, Human-ish Barbarian/Rogue. Catchphrases "If we hollowed it out, we could shelter in the corpse" and "Ooh, fluffy"
Frogdor: insane half-frog druid.
Fyron aka Gandalf catchphrase "As many frogs as you can find, yes. Oh, and if you find any sign of Bob, could you let us know? His family's been worried."
Frogboar: Singularly innefective cleave-fodder aquatic minions.
