I put on my robe and wizard hat [CLOSED]

[reapsthewind]

WHO: Chris Starsky, Bakura, Aragorn, Julien, Anthony, Robb Stark, and Davin (the Psionic); *E* AND SASAME. I've honestly lost track. You guys know who you are.
WHAT: I CAST MAGIC MISSILE AT THE DARKNESS
WHERE: Classroom at the University; Chris has taken it out for the weekend and will let any non-students into the building
WHEN: Saturday



[OOC: Again, don't worry about actually knowing the rules, most of this will be handwaved. If you REALLY wanna roll dice, let me know. For reference, Chris is running an AD&D retroclone as the rules, so no feats or skills exist (THIS AINT YO 3.5 SHIT KIDS), and wizards and clerics get ONE spell / day. KICK IT OLD SKOOL. Here's an example of those rules ==> http://goblinoidgames.com/labyrinthlord.html If you want something special not in that book, feel 100% free to ask

For the meet n greet thread don't worry too much about order. For the actual play thread, well, if people seem to be busy/taking a while I'm going to skip y'all's turns / assume your character is taking a while to arrive at the party, but for the most part let everybody but me tag once, then I get to tag in to say what the result of y'all's actions are. WOO.

TAG YOURSELVES PLEASE, I'M LAZY?]

He shook his head--as if that weren't obvious--and looked to see if the others had prepared.

He shrugs. "I'm as new to this as you are," he answers.

In turn and on cue, with certain relief, Anthony gave on awkward lip-pursed smile - dropping his figurative pearls over Ms. Starsky's earlier comment, too. "I, er, got started, but I'm not sure how to know I'm finished."

"OK, newbies over here!" Bakura gestured, heading for the table where the dice and manual was. "Lemme see what you've gotten so far, everybody else who hasn't even started, grab a sheet!" he instructed cheerfully. "Or grab a red shirt~"

"Now you're just mixing references," Julien half-scolded. He wanted to come up with a reference of his own, but the moment passed. Oh well.

"I had a friend draw what my character looks like. You guys don't have to do that, I'm just showing off."

Aaron obligingly picked up a sheet of paper and a pencil. "I didn't have much time to look over the PDFs," he admitted. "But I took a look. What are all the character types good at?"

[reapsthewind]

"Well, fighters are good at fighting, basically just hitting stuff hard. They're also good at taking damage. Wizards are good at casting offensive spells, and spells that can control the battlefield; stuff that hits multiple enemies, confuses them, or puts them to sleep. They're kinda squishy though, they can't take too much damage. Clerics are best at healing and protecting the other party members. Thieves are good at stealing and sneaking; they're vital for detecting traps in a dungeon."

She paused, flipping a page. "Paladins are holy warriors, sort of between clerics and fighters; they're stodgy jerks who can smite evil. Rangers are wilderness wanderers connected deeply to nature, they're good with bows and tracking animals. Assassins are basically stabby dudes. Monks are good at unarmed combat."
