[QUOTE="steeldragons, post: 6855407, member: 92511"] Let's see if my memory files actually go that far back....I'm sure I'll forget some one-offs, those PCs that were "rolled up/created" that never actually saw play, or other minor/short-lived folks from over the years. As for 5e, nothing yet. Would loveto. Anyone got/getting a 5e online game going here?! It'd be great to be able to play with some regularity. As for my personal "Rogues' Gallery" of PCs, chronologically as best I can recall... Very 1st PC Ever: Created in B/X and played into BECM and ported/on to 1e: Human/male, Magic-user that eventually (and we're talking years of play) got up to 17th...18th? No, 17th. I think. 2nd: BECM to 1e, Human/female, Cleric. Think she was 14th when last used. 3rd: A B/X/BECM Elf/male. Transitioned to 1e as an Elf/male, Fighter/Magic-User...but basically just became a Fighter. I almost never used/forgot about his magic. So, for all intents and purposes, he's an Elf/male, Fighter. We ignored racial level limits, so I don't actually remember what level he got up to. 4th: B/X/BECM Halfling/male. Transitioned to 1e as Halfling/male, Fighter/Thief. Think he was around 10th or 12th when he was stabled/NPC'd. 5th: 1st character created in/for 1e, Human/female, Illusionist. Over the years, her abilities became more and more refluffed as psychic powers than Illusion magic so that, now, she exists in my homebrew world as a highly powerful psychic character (with some minor illusion magics studied in her youth before her mental powers blossomed). 6th: Human/male, Fighter. Created as the MU's brother (and yes, this is PRE-Dragonlance). Never much cared for him/straight up martial characters. He didn't see much play. 7th: Elf/male, Magic-user/Thief, "Dyr the Lucky" lives on in infamy for his valiant death on his first adventure, during his very first combat, on his first save/roll. Lives on in the Halls of Heroes as the shortest-lived character I've ever had. 8th: Elf/female, Magic-user/Thief (take two). She lasted significantly longer (than Dyr) before that particular game/campaign ended. 9th: Half-elf/female, Ranger/Cleric. 10th: Elf/male, Thief-Acrobat. 11th: Gnome, male, Illusionist/Thief. 12th: Now entering the 2e days: Elf/male, Ranger/Cleric. [EDIT: 13th: Forgot a short-lived campaign that included a Half-elf/male, Cleric/Mage. He gets filed among those PCs that I really liked/enjoyed. But as with so many others, just never saw enough play time. /EDIT] 14th: Halfling/male, Fighter/Thief. 15th: Elf/male, Diviner Mage. Didn't last long. 16th: "Half-halfling" [DM assigned race] Thief-ish "Acrobat-y" swashbuckler type...with psychic powers...a clairvoyant, I think...not sure what his actual class was. 17th: Half-elf/female, Cleric/Mage [think she was just up around (a combined) 6th-7th, just hitting her magical stride when people graduated/our college games -that particular campaign and group- came to an end :( ]. Following this, off and on, exclusively DMing. Completely skipped/bypassed 3 & 4e. Haven't played (for any amount of time/serious campaign or PC) for a good long time. [/QUOTE]
