Also I'd love to play as Great Freyja. Why? Because after playing as Brussel the drunk, agressive, brash, and loud mouthed Pixie Barbarian who won a Sumo Tournament against an Ogre, beat a cult of Tiamat worshippers to death with his own right leg, and hurl the Hierophant of the Bahamut Church over the city walls in a previous campaign I realised that Pixies are the strongest creatures across all the planes. Also Battleminds are cool, just ask Manic about Atenhut

Anyway, as much I'd love to join, I'd rather learn the ruleset a little more and let people who know the ruleset better than I who might enjoy this more play.

That's...definitely a good point! I have flipped through the manual and think I've a decent grasp of combat mechanics, but it's not a game I've actually played, unlike a good number of the other folks volunteering. So nevermind, I think I'll wait until a less complex threadgame rolls around.

IBS has never before been such an endearing character trait.


Eh you can add me. I got absolutely nothing to do at that time, so I got the time for it. As for qualities, I've worked a lot on learning 4e despite being mostly from the 3.5 era, and I'm not against playing the Leader role (in fact my first character made for 4e was a Sentinel...then I swapped to Bard but that's besides the point). My headset's passable and I'd imagine my voice can't be all that bad. Very forgettable, but not bad. Anyway my skype's in the Online Game Finder thread, but if that vanished for some reason it's *redacted*.

Coleoptera Dainn seems like the most interesting one to me. Back when I made my sentinel I multiclassed Shaman so I know a little bit more about the class. They seem plenty fun.

Threadgame Alert

4:30PST Thursday (May 3) we're gonna run some D&D 4e, and we need 4 players! It's a premade adventure that will probably be combat-light (one or two encounters with ghosts may occur!), and one of the players will be picking who gets in on this or not. You should tell us why you want in on mystery game and what makes you think you're good for it! I'll contact people as soon as our judge picks the crew we're rolling with.

I'd love to get into a game again, since I haven't been in a game as a player in a while now. I've been DMing a game for a few weeks now, so most of the rules are pretty familiar to me. Sadly, I can't really make 4:30, but if you're willing to shift it about a half hour later to 5:00, I could do that. That's kind of a lot to ask for one player, though.

Also, those character designs are pretty awesome. Specifically, Ba Nanna. Judging from what I've read about Hamadryads, she could be a lot of fun to play. EDIT: Come to think about it, I've never played anything other than Paladins in 4e, so I'd love a chance at trying out something new. Especially a striker class.

EDITEDIT: Also, now that I can remember her name, Ba Nanna reminds me of Botanica from Beast Machines. Although with less of a pacifist nature and more of a relentless Greenpeace zealot thing going on.

Anyway, my Skype is zara.jquigs

I really would love to play a Battlemind again. The first time I ever played 4th edition I played a Battlemind. I ended up using Speed of Thought and nearly wiped out 3/4 of my HP before I ever started my turn because I was unaware of the aura mechanic. I also fell down a hole. Then there was the time attempted to glue someone to a table. Why? Because it was the only way to restrain someone and goddamit I bought that glue ritual for a reason. And then yesterday I jumped into a well and sunk to the bottom of it. Why? I am an idiot who thought it would be far shallower than it aparently was.

When i used to play DND I always insisted on playing silly nonsense builds because I thought it was funny to be a wizard trying to attack people with axes and the such. I think it was 3.5 where any class could take the martial feat.

First, the name is Ba Nanna, and that is the best name ever. I also knew someone named Ben Nanna, no loving joke.

Second, I played the poo poo out of Nature based classes in 3.5.

After sleeping on it, I still would like to be Tyr. He strikes me as he evil type ready to take all your possessions and your life with a smug grin on his face the entire time he is doing that and I think it'd be great to get to be one of those types of characters. I have been smug and sort of self centered guys before but in the end they always ended up being good guys, just good guys who were jerks. Having the chance to play as a straight up evil guy in a suit who, presumably, not only has some type of legal authority but evil hell powers as well? too good to pass up.

Not to mention, after looking up more about shades, I have always been a fan of races who are good at disguise or stealth, it's why I played a changeling in my last 4e game. So give me a shot, put me in coach and let me at em, I look forward to being able to hopefully playing in this threadgame

Hey, I'll toss my hat into this ring, why not?

The only real 4e I've ever played was with my sister's friends as a psionic human monk. It was incredibly awkward because they insisted on using the chat window of their gametable for pretty much everything despite being on Skype and I would rather not ever do that again. Mostly I would just really, really like try playing it for fun instead of because my sister wanted me to try with her boring friends.

I'd like to play Ba Nanna because I could totally play characters-who-try-to-be-clever-but-aren't and she seems like the perfect candidate for such a thing. I would need to download gametable or something, but that doesn't seem like it would be such an issue. Though if this isn't a sort of game for newbies to D&D in general, then you might want to skip me.

So did it happen, or will it happen? Are we saying 4:30 AM (happened) or PM (will happen) PST? If so, I'd love in on this. I DM and have played in some Encounters for my friends at a local shop, as well has having a few campaigns under my belt, from both sides of the screen. In my most recent encounter, things went so terribly off-the-rails that I'm writing up a new ending encounter because of how horrible things went in comparison to what the module expects, and absolutely looking forward to it.

"Tussles" Tyr would be my choice, because I don't let things rain on my parade, but I'd be glad to take any seat. I go by that thing that you have already, my screenname lowercase with two dashes after it.

Hell yes, sign me up! I am currently DMing and I'd love to get in on some PC action for a change. I'd play Ba Nana if she's a Bloodbond Seeker because I love playing Bloodbond Seekers and because shifting as a minor action is just grand. Her character design looks awesome and I'd probably play her as somewhat odd fashionista with a strange sense of aesthetics who thinks the various disgusting swarms of primal insects she launches are "Just the most daaa~aaarling little fabulousities." She'd probably want to dress Coleoptera up in Try's clothing and put him in an insect-dog-show-type thing. She would also thing Freyja would be a lot cuter if he/she was a grig.

In general, I know my way around 4.0, I love to ham up roleplaying, I have access to a maybe not-terrible mic and I've got myself an warped Australian accent from watching too many british cartoons as a kid probably.

Guys, spoiler tagging your skype handle doesn't do anything. Guests (ie, spambots) would still be able to see it. It's not like they use their robot eyes to scan the words themselves and the blackboxes prohibit it. All the spoiler tag does is add a black highlight to the already black text. Spambots ignore formatting altogether because they lack eyes (they are computer programs).

If you really need to hide it, put it in your SA user profile.

hello. I've come this "'"morning"'" to pick our four lucky winners! it was a really hard goddamn choice, so I even wimped out and picked backups.

coleoptera dainn: although mightydicktron's avatar is more suited for ba nanna, I like his logic (so I need your skype). for drawing my literal exact mental image of what lies beneath, publicopinion is your backup.

great freyja: demonia has a plan and who am I to stand in the way, even if I didn't give freyja greater invisibility? or any invisibility maybe? like I remember. if demonia doesn't show, our backup Manic_Misanthrope will get some excellent material for an upcoming screenplay.

tussles tyr: wow. tyr would definitely say "rain on my parade" all the goddamn time, so lorak is in. try to dial your assholishness up to 11, though. however, it was an acceptable bribe, so explosionface will be backup.

ba nanna: greenpeace zealot? sounds like a plan. get in the car, zarah. I liked brasshearld's shining beacon of independence in this dark, post-9/11 world, but other people actually had her as a first choice before. but you get to be the backup.

MadScientistWorking posted:

wrong!!! I was really tired and wanted to name her something friendlier than "baba yaga" so I put in "nanna" and thought to myself hey, that sounds good to say! and then didn't realize until I posted.
