Message: <blockquote data-quote="Blackwind" data-source="post: 3804315" data-attributes="member: 1205">Currently playing in a D&D 3.5 homebrew run by my friend Adrian, who was the kid who introduced me to D&D back in 4th grade!  We're 23 now and both have families--both of our SOs play in our group.We just played last night, finally hitting 5th level.  My CN Human Wizard, Mercurius Blackthorne, incinerated eight hobgoblin warriors with his first fireball  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />  Our party succeeded in infiltrating a goblinoid stronghold in order to obtain a map of enemy fortifications.  We managed to get in by dressing up in robes formerly belonging to a bunch of evil necromancers (allied with the gobs) that we'd killed.  Long story short, after giving us the map, the bugbear shaman ordered his men to kill us anyway on our way out.  We found ourselves trapped between, oh, a dozen fully armed hobgoblin warriors with orders not to let us out the gate--and a ravenous pack of dire wolves, unleashed by the bugbear commanders.  That's where the fireball came in handy.  Two PCs got to negative hit points last night, but no deaths so far this campaign.  Our wealth is somewhat lower than average, although we do own a grand house with a two-story library for my aspiring Loremaster.  The plot is already too complex for me to summarize here, but this is undoubtedly the best D&D campaign I've ever played in.  I only have two gripes: one, that the pacing is so tight that my wiz doesn't have enough time to scribe scrolls or research spells.  Two, that gameplay sometimes grinds to a halt due to rules-clunk.  I'm enjoying playing in this campaign immensely but don't really want to run 3.5 ever again.EDIT: PC Roster-Beth (my gf): Laurelin Silvermoon, CG Elven Ranger 5 (dual-wields thinblade and lightblade, her animal companion is a cath shee kitten)-Michelle (Adrian's gf) Shaila, CG Elven Cleric 5 of the goddess of luck-Clay (Michelle's son) Kenson, CN Human Rogue 5 -Nova (my gf's brother-in-law) Hrunk, CG Half-Orc Barbarian 5-me, Mercurius Blackthorne, CN Human Wizard 5 (aspiring loremaster)-Draco, Mercurius' kobold manservant (NPC)Currently investigating the disappearance of the Elder Gods and defending the kingdom against the forces of a newly returned evil death god.  Woot!</blockquote>
