i looooove D&D. my first ever D&D character i really got attached to is a little green urd kobold life cleric named Tilri!! she was such a sweetheart but always battled with her chaotic nature. sadly the campaign she was in ended abruptly (as with most of my characters, lol) at the moment i'm just a DM, but i have my own setting and everything. we used to play every Friday but now switched the Saturdays, however because of life and everything happening we haven't been able to meet up. :'( one day!!

... my current gremlin-brain scheme is that I'm pretty sure I can take out loans at the adventurers bank to put slum kids through trade school so they can use the downtime profession rules and be rolling in gp within a couple of months.

How are y'alls games going?

My personal favorite character to play was a succubus who had a scythe as her main weapon. She also had a lil spiked tail guard and dual whips. I cannot remember her class I do know she was a little chaotic though xD My group just kinda fell apart before we finished that campaign and I haven't really played since, it's been a few years.

I read up on DnD mechanics and such every now and then, played with character ideas and such but never mustered the courage to join a group. I'm mostly concerned with being able to make time for it every week.

My group has moved from D&D 5e to Pathfinder 2e but I could probably transfer my favorite PF2e character into D&D pretty easily (actually planning to if my DM ever runs a Domains of Dread game 😭😭😭]

He's a level 9 dhampir Sorcerer/Rogue multiclass who was raised by his father, the baron of a tiny, isolated barony high up in the mountains. He's kind of...promiscuous and had a really bad habit of getting into situations that his father was very unhappy with him about and eventually, got sent our of the barony to help find resources/land outside of their home nation and to find people to bring home (because his dad is kind of building up a little army/planning to take over the world eventually because what else do incredibly old vampiric despots do?)...

He originally saw all the non-vampire races as sort of... pets or possessions and started the campaign as a Lawful Evil worshipper of Asmodeus... He even straight up murdered one of the other party members for deeply insulting him (got permission from their player, ofc)

He's since started to gain some kind of morality...or, at least, sees his party members as real people/his friends and not his property even if he's still outsourcing his moral compass to the goblin and he's stopped being a lawful evil little sh!t.

My other favorite is my chaotic good Possumfolk (homebrew race, it's available on D&D beyond) barbarian -- Barabelle "Baby" Sharptooth. She's not the sharpest tool in the shed (not by far) but she knows like, everything there is to know about dragons and wants nothing more than to be a great and brave adventurer! She has a dragon tooth necklace that she wears around her neck and keeps a yellow ribbon tied to her axe. My favorite thing that she's ever done in a campaign was when she gave berries she'd been eating to a guard as a gift, not realizing they were poisonous and was then horrified when he died. She enlisted her friends to help her sort the berries into poison and not poison because she's 1) resistant to poison and 2) has the worst nature rolls ever.

somehow the goblin is the person in the group with the best sense of morals and it's hysterical. We'll be in the middle of having to fight something and he'll look at the goblin like

"if killing people is wrong, why is killing this man okay? is this not murder?"

"WELL see if we didn't kill him, he would kill us we should try not to kill him if we can avoid it but if we have no choice then we have no choice."

"I am still confused but okay."

Oooooh dnd talk! I can totally get behind that!

Just recently hit the 2 year anniversary of a 5e homebrew Final Fantasy themed campaign back in September! I play a Miqo'te Dancer/Warlock and it's been really fun :D Though there has been some talk and planning for future campaigns in the same world. Can't wait to play my Human Maverick Articifer and my Moogle Lore Mastery Wizard someday owo

I'm almost always the GM/DM, so I haven't had a lot of PCs (and uh, the reason I started running games is bc the early campaigns I was in were awful due to interpersonal stuff, so don't have the best memories there). I did make a ranger DM PC for one of the campaigns who I got kind of attached to. A lot of ranger skills are really cool for storytelling in the right setting (like survival stuff and predicting the weather).

I play a Wood Elf Paladin in a campaign my friends and I have been doing for over a year. She is chaotic good, sarcastic, and fiercely loyal. She is very tanky and protects her party members as best she can, although she doesn't want to admit the teenage warlock wizard has grown on her. Too many good moments with that character to list.

I've never actually played DnD (except in computer games like Neverwinter Nights). But I have been playing tabletop RPGs for years.

I have tonnes of favorite characters.

In one space based game I played an alien from a race called trilopters. Instead of bilateral symmetry, like humanoids, they have tri-partite development. So, 3 legs, 3 arms, 3 brains. They get bored dealing with humans because they are so slow with their single brain. My character was also a pacifist/coward, can't remember if this was a racial trait or her own personality quirk. When the other characters talked about combat they had to speak of their "laser-welders" rather than their blasters, and so on to keep her calm. She was also constantly getting into trouble out of boredom. I figured I was playing her "right" when the rest of the party ended up tying her up with own limbs and gagging her because she was driving them nuts. Fortunately the campaign was a short one because I don't think I could have sustained that level of play for very long (not easy playing a character with 3 brains when I only have one), and the rest of the players might have started to actively dislike me as a player.

Another favorite was an archer based on Legolas from the movies. Not only was she super accurate, but she was fast. She developed skills that made her quick and also used some major background points to start with a special bow with an extra fast load. She wasn't "officially" an archer because that was a class that didn't exist in the system we were playing. I can't remember if I started out with a base rogue or ranger, but used something like that, then developed the character into an archer. She was a lot of fun to play, but the best part for me was developing her how I wanted within a system that wasn't built for it. It was both extremely challenging and satisfying when it worked.

There have been many more fun characters, but that's enough for now :D

fav character I have is my Goblin Bard, Billy. He rejected goblin kind to live with humans because he wanted to be a music star. He rode to hell on the back of his dog companion lil Bill, befriended demons, had a devil went down to georgia moment with a fiend, won a sick demon lute from that and basically invented metal music in our timeline, helped save his party's town that was being dragged to hell, and became the rock star he always wanted to be in the end when he got back.

I've been playing the computer games since 2001 (Baldur's Gate was my first one) but only started playing tabletop last year.

My tabletop character is an Aarakocra beast master named Acci. She lost half of her tribe (including her own family) to an orc; she retaliated and killed said orc (saving the remainder of her tribe), and now wears his tooth as a pendant around her neck, to remind herself of where she came from and what she fights for. She is empowered and influenced by music, and as such befriended a Locathah bard (played by my brother). When she advanced to level 3, she met an almiraj whom she adopted as her animal companion and named him Ranger. Now, Acci and her two friends explore Faerun together and use combined powers and teamwork to save innocent bystanders from evil.

I've had lots of characters in the computer games too, but the one that stands out for me is a half-elf named Tabby Treebark. She was my very first Neverwinter Nights character, and I created her in 2004. She was a ranger/sorcerer/red dragon disciple in NWN, but since then I have played as her in a variety of games. She is always some form of nature-themed character in DND (usually ranger but occasionally druid), but I also use her as a sort of avatar in non-DND games too, like some MMOs, and even casual games like Stardew Valley, My Time at Portia, etc.

As I've used her in so many games, her backstory and personality are definitely not as clear cut as Acci's. Her consistent traits are that she loves nature and is very at home when she is outdoors; she prefers to camp out rather than live indoors, and is very good at typical outdoorsy survival activities such as foraging and fishing, as well as building shelters and fires from whatever she scrapes up in the forests. Despite being so comfortable in the great outdoors (and around animals), Tabby has a weakness that she is very ashamed of - she is absolutely terrified of spiders!

This is difficult! I I think my favorite has to be my Scout Rogue/Hexblade warlock. Her name is Corva Atticar and she is a Dark elf. I played into the spy aspect pretty hard so she never stole anything unless it was necessary and is a Warlock of Eilestraee (sorry if I spelled that wrong).

My newest pc (been playing her for a few months) is a Gloomstalker ranger. Her name is Caelynn, she's a wood elf and she was raised by wolves. As a young teen, she discovered that the wolves were actually Fey in disguise who were keeping an eye on the movements of the Unseelie Fey. Caelynn now works for the Seelie Fey, specifically King Oberon, who sends her out to defeat monsters under the control of the Unseelie Fey. She's been hired by the country's king to infiltrate the neighboring kingdom and learn about some 'great beast' that is in their army and kill it if it proves dangerous. The rest of the party (2 fighters, 1 rogue, 1 bard) has a different mission to kidnap the neighboring kingdom's prince, but the two fighters in the party have zero plans beyond disguising as guards to get into the locked-down capital. I have plans to multiclass her into Warlock, specifically Archfey, to really solidify her pact with King Oberon and protect her butt if things go south with the party.

Been playing D&D off and on since I was 13... I'm 41 now... My wife and I are actually currently in the process of trying to get a discord game going in our server. lol

I like playing as a circle of spores druid. Love the vibe of that variant, and lots of fun builds.
