I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Well it's been a loooong time coming but I think my gaming group is falling apart. Seen it coming but... man, I don't really have anything to look forward to without an rpg to play.

I've basically been gaming for about 15 years straight, it just feels wrong to not have one going.

@Pinkie: If, hypothetically, you somehow gained Discord's powers, what would you do?

[up][up][up]What a coincidence - the same thing has happened to me twice before the campaign was ever written!

Granted, I haven't been doing any actual tabletop gaming, but I know the basics.

@ Blue: Unfortunate, but it happens. You could find another gaming group, or maybe even start one of your own.

@Blue: That's a bummer, man. :(

Have you considered checking out the RP section here? I mean, you're probably not going to find anything as involved as a DnD game here, but you might find something to tide you over until you find something more substantial IRL.

[up][up]It is my own. I've been the GM for pretty much ever. I've only played as a player in like 3 campaigns ever, only one of which went on for more than like 3 sessions. My brother was all set to take over as GM in a few weeks and I was really looking forward to playing but we just can't get together. Everyone is too busy being an adult, sigh.

I was thinking of looking for a gaming group but I don't have much hope on that for a variety of reasons. I really want to play with my friends, not strangers.

[up] I'm just venting for now. I've been playing via skype for the past year, so if I find another group I'd REALLY like it to be local. I miss playing face to face. Of course none of my current friends live in the same city as me so that would make it a bunch of strangers by default. Considering I'm not the best at making friends I don't really have much interest in trying that.

What a coincidence - the same thing has happened to me twice before the campaign was ever written!

I've probably written character sheets/bios for at least three dozen characters I was prepared to play, only for the campaign to collapse before it ever began. I'm pretty used to that by now. It's just the prospect of not playing at all that gets me.

I don't know. Discord just uses them to be really mean and hurt ponies, but I wouldn't do that.

Yeah, being an adult really gets in the way of having regular gaming sessions. I've had a hard time getting a regular game set up.

@Teeth: A-fuzzin'-men to that one.

Anywho, back from college, and let me tell ya... I'm not a fan of snow. Got stuck twice. Praise Luna that I got to college and back in one piece.

Anyways, wonder what's up, aside from Pinkie being here...

@Pinkie I wouldn't imagine you having Discord's powers anyway. There's things that his powers cannot grant you. And that's friendship and talking to guys like me.

Well, if you do decide to start up a new group through skype or some other online connectivity, I'd be interested. I did a bit of table top gaming when I was younger, I've always liked RPGs in general, and I'm a fan of both Order Of The Stick and Goblins Life Through Their Eyes, so I've been itching to try my hand at actual DnD or a similar game for a while.

I was even playing around with creating a lite DnD-esque game for forum play, though admittedly I was more enthusiastic about creating the campaign setting than the game mechanics. :P It was kind of a cross between Zelda and Warcraft in terms of themes and worldbuilding, with everything revolving around the three elemental forces of Power, Cunning, and Spirit, while the races took a lot of their inspiration and direction from World Of Warcraft.

I dunno Star, I'm pretty sure that Discord could force you to talk to him if he really wanted.

[up][down]keep me in mind if anything happens, would you? tabeltop gaming is something I've always really wanted to get into, but never really had a good opportunity for. I've played in a few sessions, but never a full campaign before.

@Wrtye: I may very well take you up on that (I've had numerous people on tv tropes say they're interested, so I definitely could put together a group). It's just that right now I feel really sick of the whole skype-play and of gming in general. Though that's probably a temporary thing that will pass.

I actually don't mind skype play at all, except that my players tend to get WAY too distracted when we play that way since they're all playing Minecraft or something at the same time. Which is extremely rude but whatever, I'm not gonna try and tell my friends how to have fun.

[up] Haha, there's another.

[down] Noobs are alright.

There's nothing wrong with being a noob. We all were once. Heck, I still kind of am. I'm more experienced with reading the books than playing the games, but I'd love an opportunity to play.

Not with that attitude they don't.

But yeah, the two times I've tried to play a game online it fell apart rather quickly. Still, I'd be willing to give it another shot.

On an unrelated note, cornbread muffins are yummy.
