Nerdy Post

I remember when I once stared blankly as a boy in middle school ranted for about an hour on the trails and tribulations of his D&D campaign. I have long since entered the realm of geekdom. About a year ago I started roleplaying and I even went so far as to marry the DM! And I swear I didn't even get XP out of the deal.

Anyway, this book is on its way to our home:It apparently details and expands upon the fighter class, offering more kick-butt prestige classes than ever before. Rave reviews from amazon, and Steven's fighter is going to be upgraded to what you could comparatively call an intelligent barbarian. My character doesn't really care about that, though, being a somewhat-persnickity seductress bard. At one point during the introductory session we had a midnight "random encounter" during which she sang while getting dressed, which took the duration of the whole fiasco. Sometimes the system of "rounds" seems a bit silly to me, since this group of orcs technically came, attacked, and were defeated within one minute of game time.

It has been an interesting campaign so far (Kudos to Kyle), albiet as a level 1 party we're fighting some pretty measly beasts. "Oh no! Goblins! Run away!" But the riddles are pretty nifty, I remember thinking while they were read out "Ooh, a rhyming scheme and everything." Poor Kyle has a lot of preparing to do for next time, though, because we're running through this pretty quickly.

Alright, I think that is plenty of geekiness for one day, as the entirety of yesterday was spent in the Forgotten Realms. I am off to shower and get ready for work.
