Hi Rachel, As per Rob’s answer, about 4-6 weeks, I guess. I love your design for this class.

Since @Steampunkette designed this (brilliantly) and @TheSword liked it a lot, and I am due to play a bard in the Sword’s Waterdeep campaign after concluding Enemy Within, I reckon there’s a good chance of me getting to play test this new Bard. It looks great to me, especially the songs.

I have had the absolute pleasure of being a player in this campaign, run by @TheSword . It has been a truly great experience; we have felt horror, sympathy, sadness, joy, determination, despair, pride and duty in equal measures, and we absolutely feel like living points of light, desperate to...

I love movies, and it’s impossible to pick an all-time favourite, though some that I adore include: Jubilee (as a 1970s punk, this is so evocative. Jarman was great) Christiane F (desolation of a late 70s childhood in Berlin) Lord of the Rings trilogy ( goes without saying really….) Jurassic...

Gabriella’s eyes clouded with tears as she fired arrow after arrow into the snarling mass of trolls surrounding her friends. She could see the mage, Gunther, doing the same with bolts of flame. To little avail. Yes, several trolls, including their brutish king, were slain, but both the valiant...

I love DM-ing overall. I also have been blessed by having so many great players, who buy into the implied social contract of the game, specifically in regards of fun for all, including the DM. One minor, and very occasional dislike, is if a player blames the ruleset or game system for something...

St Swithin is kicking butt! I work part time on a vineyard since I’ve retired and it’s been so wet since Xmas that I feel like I’m a water elemental. Then today we had a massive thunderstorm; a vineyard with thousands of 8 Foot steel poles supporting the vines is not a good place to be in an...

I can, and do, look back to playing as a kid in the late 1970s/early 80s, with glasses that are tinted with a whole garden of roses. Similarly, I also loved the days of 3e, gaming with many of the friends I still game with today, including the OP of this thread. But there is no question in my...

It was actually Southampton Uni, so your dog would have been welcome……if he’d been around in the early 1980s!

Of course, one of the amusing things about playing sport, in my case rugby, to University level is when you talk to Americans and casually mention, “I played rugby for my university”, their eyes light up and they picture you running out in huge stadiums, with tens of thousands of fans. My rugby...

Now the NFL is all very well, and I watch it weekly. It sure beats football/soccer IMHO. But rugby! Rugby is proof that if a deity exists, they are a sports fan and gifted us with the William Webb-Ellis moment. Go England!

All this savoury food talk requires British desserts of course, so: Bakewell Tart (or to be strictly Derbyshire, Bakewell Pudding) is the king here, but honourable mentions to Apple Crumble, Spotted Dick and the southeastern speciality, Gypsy Tart.

Hi I’m British, originally from London, but now living in Maidstone. And I detest Marmite with a passion.

Silverymoon is the San Francisco/Woodstock/Glastonbury of the setting, where everyone wears flowers in their hair (and possibly listen to the Grateful Undead).

I ran Scarlet Citadel for our monthly in-person game and got very positive feedback from the players. I did ensure there was a theme running between the dungeon itself and the local homebase , a small town, by linking the town’s mayor and another prominent NPC to a significant villain within...
