Your first time

Played a monk in my brother's DnD group.

3.5

investigated a castle with a crazy daemon sword thingy.

Turns out, it was connected with a bebilith that then started stalking around the castle trying to eat us.

Can't quite remember what happened after that. I think we either killed it or the group had to disband.

Being that it is a fucking Beblith going to guess the group disbanded as Bebliths are pretty strong.

It was freeform play-by-post with strangers. It was total garbage

>>50025342
Playing at all? It was a pokemon play by post.
Playing DnD specifically? It was a kobold fighter in... Another play by post. It was shit.

My first time playing was early 3.0 D&D. Played a Dwarf Cleric. DM was my dad and one of his friends played an Elven Druid.

I forgot what happened for the most part, only really remember the fact that I killed way more orcs with magic rocks than could be expected.

Play by posts work great for me because of my unpredictable/inconsistent schedule, but it's so hard to find good people if you're just doing it with randos. So many of them spazz out or straight up disappear into the nether.

anyway, not dnd, but my very first rp was when I was like 9 or 10 on Harvest Moon forums. I didn't know what an rp was and tried to play as a chicken on a farm. Like these kids were being sugoi anime characters romancing each other and I would just post like "i walk arund and eat sum of grain" periodically. then I got flamed off and cried little 10 year old tears, rightfully so I guess.

First actual table top sort of deal with actual systems was in HS and a lot of fun. The art teacher would GM for us after school and a surprising amount of people would show. I think it was cuz he was a cool dude and word got around, so even nongeeky people would show up and it was just a ball. Some of the seniors started to GM different groups at its peak. Mostly we did little oneshot or things we could resolve in like 2 weeks, not sure if we did it right but it was a lot of fun.

My first time GMing kind of sucked, because I was just a replacement GM to stop the game from dying when our first dude went AWOL for like a year.

Okay. It took me a bit to get into the flow of it and let rules be more guidelines when the need arises. One thing I'm grateful for is that I never had troubles weaving a player's backstory into the narrative without detracting from the other players.

I think it was 3.5 a few years ago in high school, pretty basic shit (I played a LG Dwarf Cleric stereotype)

>GMing
Been running a game at uni for a couple months for a group of newbies, we're finishing the 5e starter set this week and starting Storm King's Thunder. Everyone is pretty chill except for one lolrandumb Tiefling Vengeance Paladin.

Yeah, I feel ya.
Only after half way through the game do I feel like we actually started getting really into the structure of the roleplay, rather than 100% by the book.

Either you're very clever, my player is, or both.

...Explain that last bit there.

That's unfortunate, I give you two condolences.

>...Explain that last bit there.
Clerics have a spell called Magic Stone that turns three rocks into 1d6 (or 2d6 vs undead) damage death machines that have a +1 enhancement that can be thrown or shot with a sling.

Spent the entire 1st and 2nd level braining enemies with magic rocks.

That's some good shit, anon.
I wanna see our Cleric do that now.

Playing was AD&D with my uncle as GM and my cousins, we nearly wiped because they started looting graves in a haunted crypt like the dumbfucks they are and pissed off a giant skeleton that was hanging from the ceiling.

GMing was also AD&D with my highschool friends, they went out into the deep ocean to loot not!Atlantis and the most memorable part was when the wild mage made a gold plate light enough to float from the ocean floor to the surface and ended up breaking a bunch of bones and getting a serious case of the bends because he was standing on top of it at the time.
