[Video] Game night

[rando_dork]

[The feed opens up with Gwen lounging about in the library. She's got a handful of books resting on her lap, along with a plastic bag filled with various types of coloured dice]

Hey there nerds. In case we haven't met, I'm Gwen. Reporting to you live from the library.

I know a couple people shown some interest in playing a game from my world called Dungeons and Dragons. I played it a bit in high school with some friends and figured I could run a game here.

[She holds up one of the books, which just so happens to be the players guide. ]

Basically you make a character based guidelines in this book and go on a crazy fantasy adventure put together by the Dungeon Master or DM. Which would be me in this case.

It's pretty cool. I'd recommend you give you give it a try even if you're already capable of going on actual magical adventures here.

Just leave me a message if you're interested in playing. I've got some time to run through the rules or help people make some characters if you want. Jaune and Robin, if you see this we can get right to character building.

[It's super late but she was. Kind of. Comatose with exhaustion?]

I'm sorry I'm late! But if there are any slots left, I'd very much like to play as well. It sounds fun!

[rando_dork]

[Gwen's jotting down some notes when she gets the call.

She hadn't really done the DMing thing before. That was always something Peter had done...]

Hey. Don't worry about it. Better late than never, right?

[It's not like Gwen was ever on time for anything.]

I'm pretty sure I can squeeze you in.

[Video]

[leekspins]

Really?! Thank you! Everything was so hectic I really didn't have a chance to respond sooner.

Anou...do you need a place to play? I submitted an application to open my bakery. It would be a good location for games, especially if you want to eat desserts at the same time!

Excellent, you got your hands on a book of it! Would I be able to have a good read of it in addition to creating a character with you? I wish to be well versed with the rules.

[she's so excited!] And Jaune is going to be participating too? This really will be an interesting game.

video

[rando_dork]

I did! Had to scrounge around a bit but I managed to find a game shop with a few of the books. I have to get some mini's next but they'll be easier to pick out once I know what everyone's playing.

Sure thing. I only need the book to go over the basics and character creation with anyone else. Once everyone's set up you're free to borrow it until we play. It'll be good to study up before hand.

[There's a nod.]

Yeah, he was the first person I ran into here who knew about the game. You know him?

[thorons]

Mini's? [tell her about them miniatures bro.]

Of course. Let me know when I can borrow it from you.

[she smiles warmly at the thought of her friend.] Jaune is a dear companion and I'll be happy to play alongside him. I know he will be excellent at this game as well.

Hello Gwen, I'm Scott. I know that game form home too but I never really played. What's its final purpose?

[ Video ]

[rando_dork]

Sup, Scott?

Final purpose? Get together with friends and have a good time, I'd say. Strategy and role playing stuff.

Each campaign is a little different so it can be hard to say what the hard game is. Could be taking down a big bad dragon, might be saving a kingdom from certain doom. Kind of depends on what the group wants to do.

[initia_nova]

Now much now that I'm back to my normal body. This last week's madness has been interesting. Were you affected, by any chance?

I see...that sounds fun. I like strategies and coming up with plans. Used to do a lot of that back home, just not for games.

[Scott runs a hand through his hair and looks away for a moment. Could be fun and socializing more won't hurt. Now, if only he were any good at it...]

Do you still have any slots lefts?

[blindpuppet]

Is it fun?

[She has been told to find a hobby.]

[rando_dork]

Nah. Most people would say it's lame and dorky.

[There's a smirk.]

Of course it's fun. That's why I'm asking people to play.

[trivialization]

Not like the fantasy environments here yield up much pathos or narrative structure.

And I haven't touched an RPG in... [decades, at least] a while.

I'll do it.

video

[rando_dork]

Yeah. I guess it is just kind of a mishmash of stuff here to make everyone feel kind of at home?

Well you're in luck. This addition is pretty streamlined to make everything a bit more straightforward. You shouldn't have much trouble getting back into it.

( video )

[inredress]

[The video comes after sunset that evening.]

Dungeons & Dragons? That's...not world-specific. That's...good to know, I guess.

[And he's not quite sure how he feels about it.]

You know, I've never actually played. Some of the...others did, but I was never liked enough to be invited free. Turns out, I have a lot more free time here.

[You're rambling, Luther.]

So...I'm interested. Also, My name's Luther.

Video

[rando_dork]

A game that transcends dimensions. Pretty sweet, right?

[There's a bit of a sad nod at his ramblings. It kind of reminded her of Peter, just a bit.]

Well feel free to join in. From the people who have talked about joining so far I'd say we're in for a pretty good time.

If you've got the time. We can go over some of the basics or make you a character.

[gamerrep]

Oh! I know of this game. I've... never played it myself before though.

[Mostly because she never had friends before to play the game, most of the games she played had been video games.]

I want to though, if that is okay>

video;

[rando_dork]

Yeah. I'm pretty sure it's okay with me. Welcome to the party.

It's going to be pretty awesome, I promise.

[stairsbro]

Is this the nerd shit with the crazy dice and you can roll to seduce everything?

video;

[rando_dork]

[She stares for a moment, just letting a long pause set in.]

Yes. Yes it is.

[Video]

[aurabble]

I'm in! We're going to have the best Dungeon Master to ever exist in Genessia!

[Jaune keep your voice down Gwen is in a library. But he's just too excited!]

[Video]

[rando_dork]

Awesome. I figured you would be.

I'll do my best. It's going to be my first time DMing, as long as I don't completely blow it I'll be happy.

Have you put any thought into what class you want to be?

[Video]

[chocobosnap]

This sounds like fun, can I play?

[Video]

[rando_dork]

Woah. Nice hair.

I don't see why not, Have you ever played before?

[koishi_komeiji]

A video came on showing a real life actual monster with glowing eyes, green hair, and an extremely cute hat.

"Ohh! Is that a game miss? A modern game? Is it fun? I haven't played any of those ever." She sounded very interested. "It sounds like a game where you tell stories. Are there stories involved Miss? I like stories."

Very interested.

[rando_dork]

Huh. Luckily she has already seen some freaky things here. So this isn't a huge stretch for here.

"Uh. Yeah it's a modern game. I'm pretty sure it's fun or I wouldn't be trying to play it. We're going to have to fix that and get you started on some." Okay. She has to take a second to laugh at how eager this kid is.

"Yes, there are stories involved. You're basically making a story as you play the game."
