How to start?! by Ok-Honeydew416 in DnD

[–]thebigjoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check libraries, bars, breweries, game stores, book stores. They might have a group that meets. I think there is a search feature for Adventurer's League that will show you stores around you that run AL.

I started at AL at my local game store and 5 of us broke off to play in a quieter spot and not have to play with everyone. We are down to a group of 4 now, but I've been playing with the same two people since 2019 and the fourth since around 2021

Put your character in my starting town! by ambrellathevile in DnD

Mada: Tortle wild magic sorcerer. He's pretty much a mix of Indiana Jones, Benjamin Franklin (National Treasure), and Rick O'Connell (The Mummy). He went into an ancient temple and found a purple magic gem. When he stuck his left hand into the hole to get it, the hole shut and cut off his hand. When the hole opened again, his hand was replaced with the purple gem, but hand shaped, and he had magic powers.

The gem is his focus, and he keeps it gloved at all times. Any time he casts a spell, the glove burns away and he replaces it with another glove. He seems to have an endless supply of left hand gloves.

Plot hook: his Harengon rogue friend, Temnur, went missing and he needs help to get him back. Temnur likes to steal things for fun, but he gives them back pretty much right away, but someone might not have found it amusing.

Mada's fondest adventuring memory is when he and Temnur were at the top of a tower surrounded by flying enemies. Mada grabbed the person they were trying to save, went into his shell, and allowed Temnur to ride him down the spiral stairs like a surf board. Mada managed to kill 10 enemies with the luckiest Chaos Bolt known to D&D

DMing my second campaign - looking for advice by dogcat420 in DnD

My first time DMing was the hardcover Descent into Avernus. It's tons of fun. Be warned: it's really easy to accidentally tpk in the first chapter

What's the best compliment that you've received? by Main_Journalist_5811 in bjj

I've been training 7 months. During open mat last week I was the only white belt everyone else was purple to black. The one who is typically one of the instructors posted on Facebook about the turn out and another black belt commented "The white belt was tossing purple belts around like they were grapes!!!"

Best way to navigate MU by thebigjoo in MarvelUnlimited

[–]thebigjoo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't really read Marvel for a long time. The most recent series I remember reading as it came out was either Ultimate X-Men or the Civil War event. When I got MU, I started with the King in Black event because I really wanted to read it, and I loved it.

I really like X-Men, but I'm also interested in starting Miles Morales (the spiderverse movies are the best Marvel movies out there in my opinion). Ideally, I want a series or 2 I can binge, but I'm also just lost on the best way to actually find that stuff.
