Today is my imaginary dark elf friend's birthday.

Some of you may recall an earlier thread where I mentioned having a dark elf friend, who first appeared as an NPC in one of my games in middle school. Well, I happen to remember her birthday from her character sheet, and it was April 17th, so happy birthday to Tri'ni Gren'eys. I hope she's doing well.

Happy Birthday, Tri'ni!

Does she like poundcake? It's all I've got. I would've had mint chocolate chip ice cream if only I'd known! Why didn't Harley tell me?!

Happy Birthday Tri'ni!

PS: Pssst! Ranger! Your imaginary friend is, like, Chaotic Evil. She'll totally cheat at duck-duck-goose and all the other party games.

Happy birthday to our favourite iconic Mage13! In the one campaign where birthdays really came up (which takes place on Earth), one of the characters named an MMO character after one of my NPCs, so I sent a birthday greeting on the day of the NPC's birthday (which the player had been trying to figure out). The player was on vacation and couldn't figure out the date on the birthday greeting, causing many antics

*grin* Jessie, I'm sorry we didn't let you know earlier.

Rystil, wow. It honestly makes my evening that you remember her from Elements of Magic.

Now I only have an hour to get her a gift, but I think it'll be alright. Robot Chicken's coming on, and if there's one thing Tri'ni likes, it's claymation parodies of earth pop culture. Seriously.

Jessie, you have to IM me later and read the latest chapters of Mother of Dreams. I know to the rest of you this might seem a little . . . well, bordering on obsessive, but Trin has been hanging around in my mind so long, occasionally popping up with a screen name and stuff, that I felt I needed to write her story. I owed her that much. So I'm writing a novel with her as one of the characters.

I know you said you've spent quite a bit of time on this character - do you know what her birthday is on the calendar of the world she lives on? And if so, have you ever had a crossover with any of the mainline RPG worlds, like FR or Greyhawk? And if so, what day was it there? You could probably find charts to convert dates between the mainline worlds (probably from Spelljammer), convert to FR, and if you used dates mentioned in character on the cartoon Dungeons and Dragons and the airdates for the episodes, you could figure out her actual birthdate.

Or.... I'm drunk.

Hahaha, well if you give me all those books for free, I'm sure as heck going to read them all until I've memorised them

Easy. 26 Spring, 904 L.S. Part of the problem of talking with her is that the version of her I talk to is 42 years old (Elves in my world are adults by 30), but she has appeared in games or storylines over the course of 30 years. Today's her birthday, but she hasn't really gotten any older. She knows she's an imaginary character, and so she exists as an impossible version of herself, straddling worlds.

I blame Bhurisrava, the metagaming cleric.

Maybe for her birthday I could write her getting a boyfriend.

Why's it gotta be a boyfriend? She IS your imaginary friend....
