I feel like a simpler system might work better for the CB. D&D is great, but there’s a lot of steps—between turns, clarifying scenarios, rolling, and posting everything, it could take a week to punch a dire wolf in the face. Of course, we could let all the PCs take their actions simultaneously, but that might get confusing. Also, stats and bonuses can be hard to remember and apply to actions. Best case scenario, however, we all remember to visit, the posting flies by, character sheets are kept track of, the thread stays up, and we have a good time. Now.

What’s your experience in D&D?: A couple of years ago, I went on vacation with my family to a little place in the country, and one night they all started rolling up characters and I decided to join. We spent a long time after on a campaign through a jungle island, and after it ended I convinced my dad to DM for just my brother and I. A tiny party, but who cares.

Who brought you into the game/how did you get started?: I kinda already answered that. Oops. 

Have you ever DMed before? What’s it like, if so?: I’ve never DMed, but I’ve thought about it. It seems interesting, like a different kind of fun.

What are your favorite classes/races?: Oh man. I don’t know. I like fighters and rogues and druids, I guess, and wizards, and clerics. I love elves and half-elves, and while I’ve never played as or with a teifling, they sound pretty cool.

Any funny roleplaying moments or overall events that have happened in your campaigns?: Well, in my first campaign, my dad (the DM) kept calling my mom’s character Star Kiwi instead of Star Kivi. Oh, and Star Kivi had a quirk that I had in real life: she hummed and tapped and stuff almost without realizing it. She was very funny, actually. She had the skill Calligraphy, but it never came up, so she kept joking about doing calligraphy at stuff. She also had the skill Throwing, so my brother was always encouraging her to throw rocks at birds. His character told the best joke once—okay, so he was playing a handsome, yet uncharismatic yeti, I think a fighter or a barbarian. The joke went like this: “What red and bad for teeth?” “Brick.”

…the delivery helped. Anyway, my other brother befriended a couple of warthogs who ended up being the strongest members of our party, and my character didn’t do much that was interesting because I was too busy drawing my brothers’ characters turning to stone, looking at mushrooms and cleaving bats in two. I only had two hit points, I guess? So when I inevitably got hit, I almost died. 

The funniest thing that happened on my current campaign was probably when both my brother and I failed spell rolls and I was turned into a newt, whereas he simply shrank small enough to ride on my back. Although I can’t remember if he actually did that. Oh, and he’d brought fishing tackle and no food on our trek through the woods, so I had to give him rations while he insisted that the tackle would come in handy. When we finally came across a stream, he caught exactly one fish which was so small we gave it to my cat.
