What if the forum was a D&D campaign?

Each rolls 1d8 initiative, add your perception bonus.

Do I need to make a character sheet? I rolled a 1 but I don’t know What my perception is.

All he has to do is not roll a 1 and you are dead.

I don't have anything to roll.

You roll for me. And don't roll a 1.

I seem to remember this being the reason why I never played this game in the first place, some nerd beat me in a "fight" simply by the roll of the dice, and then he smirked at me with a little too much satisfaction, so I gave him a shot in the mouth, not too hard, just a tap really, but they all freaked out, they didn't like the rules of the locker room, down in nerd world.

I just lolled myself silly imagining this situation.

This is why my D&D days ended by ninth grade...

The divide between nerds and non-nerds was getting to deep.

But it was a good run until then....

I secretly kept creating scenarios and characters and back stories... but I didn't like the nerds enough to play with them.

And maybe just not enough courage to own my nerd... who knows?

Nice. Rolls a 3. Down she goes.

Nah. A LG Drizzt would lead a crusade to destroy the matriarchy forever.

That would not be lawful.

Lawful Neutral, half-elf, mage. Rejects all the gods as worthy of worship.

Drizzt is Chaotic Good. He's not LG. Check your Forgotten Realms documentation.

Yup. And just a little quiz for you and StA. Quoting from memory here, but which one of you will first recall which Drizzt book had the line: "...one of the students died a natural death in his sleep. A dagger through the heart quite naturally ends a man's life."

It’s been way too long. I read them all in high school tho.

I’m gonna say that was from the first one though.

Elf-Ancient people with a separate ancient language parsing every word of ancient tomes.
Warrior/Cleric- Paladin more exact. Gifted in Alchemy.
Prefers distance weapons, Mercurial bow nut. Former official of Mercurial guild.
Neutral Good.

Paladins can only be Lawful Good, and can only be human.

How can he have the initiative? I would be catching him unawares, upside the head with a stick.

Strike first strike hard doesn't gain the initiative in this game?

Yeah, that mechanic sucked balls.

Dex check to determine stealth, then a 2x damage bonus, if a rogue. Goddammit, did anyone actually play this game?

Lasted until 11th grade for me. It was quickly overtaken by Magic: the Gathering at that point. After high school, the only people still playing were difficult to be around. The basement dwellers.
