The Official Welcome Thread

[King Hakim]

Hi and an idea

I joined En world because I wanted to share ideas from my stories when the ideas seemed
better than the stories that contained them.

In one story I created an evil magic item that be of interest.
The item is a necklace that if voluntarily worn even once ties your soul to the prime material plane.

It has the immediate effect of cutting you from extraplanar forces so that you can no
longer cast divine spells if you were once able to.

Also, when you die you come back as an undead.
Normally such undead should be be low powered and material,
but intelligent. A ghoul would be an obvious choice.

While at first you keep your own personallity,
overtime you shift toward mentally being the monster you outwardly are.

A miracle or atonement can reverse things if cast before your death.

Marlowe, if you have any questions about gaming (either rules or just the art of gaming itself) as you get back into the hobby, you've come to the right place. I'll be seeing you around, I'm sure.

Angelsdreamscape, if you try the Gamers Seeking Gamers forum, you'll probably find quite a few in NC.

King Hakim, yikes! That sounds like an item that could completely wreck a PC and ruin fun for a player. You might want to be careful with that one.... I'm interesting in hearing what other kinds of magic items you've come up with.

Welcome, all three of you.

Greetings. I've lurked for awhile, and posted on the WotC boards, but haven't posted yet. I play and DM 3.5 (with houserules) and occasionally play other RPGs like 2E D&D, d20 Modern, BESM, old World of Darkness, and I hope to join a Hackmaster game soon. Um...that's it. Hi.

Howdy Anguirus! We need more d20 Modern fans around here.

Greetings and Salutations!

hello all!
I actually got to this site through rpg.net and I browsed around and realized that it was super awesome and that I should join right away. Anyway, I am a female gamer (I know, weird huh?) who has been gaming for about four years now. I am currently a college student, but I write and work on game design in my free time. I am a lover of anything D&D, especially Eberron, it being my first system, but I also play Shadowrun, nWOD, In Nomine, Vampire, Star Wars, Star Trek, and Savage Worlds. As I said, I am really into RPGs Umm, I think that is it. So hello all! Hopefully my stay here will be fruitful and fun. See you around the forums then.

Heart in Narnia, a female gamer of around my age is someone I will never discourage from hanging around here. Welcome!

Sweet. And thanks for the welcome!

Hey, I never get a thanks!

Anyway, happy to see someone who's posted more than once.

Hey, all. Long-time lurker, first-time poster.

I'm relatively new to the hobby--well, not really, since I used to GM Marvel Super Heroes for friends way back in middleschool. I guess I should say I'm relatively new to d20 D&D. I've been playing in Whizbang's Ptolus-based "Midwood" pbp game since February, and have been lurking here at EN World since just before the wipe, trying to get a better feel for the game and to pick up tips for DM'ing (as I aspire to DM a campaign of my own, at some point).

I'm currently playing a mouthy, Chaotic Good gnome cleric with a messiah complex and a penchant for leaping before he looks, who I'm very enamoured of. Hence the name.

Anyway, see you around!

Welcome, Gnome Quixote!

I'm glad you decided to take the leap into d20. There are tons of people around you can learn from--and probably, we can learn from you. That's why these communities are so great.

Oh, and let's hope your gnome will eventually learn his lesson.
