I got to make my monk with poor charisma. Contrary to popular misinformation, low charisma in D&amp;D doesn&#8217;t mean one is ugly, it means the character has a crappy personality when it comes to persuading or interacting with others. I planned to play it up as social naivety given a martial artist monk in the\u00a0<em>Kung Fu<\/em> tradition being raised in a monastery for most of his life, ergo, he&#8217;s social retarded.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Well within an hour of our first playing session, the DM crapped out. I was pissed alongside several others. There were two alternatives, disband and hope for another Pathfider subgroup to happen amongst the 5E groups (none of which has gotten together neither I&#8217;ve discovered)\u2026or, I would have to step up, DM a second campaign. Yeah, I&#8217;m an idiot as expected because my desire to play in any capacity trumped my desire for naps on Sunday afternoons.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There was an upside, combining the recent puppet movies I&#8217;ve helped with, D&amp;D and some creativity inspired by the 18-year-old\u00a0<em>Dungeon<\/em> CD extra adventure &#8220;Gorgoldand&#8217;s Gauntlet.&#8221; See above, duh! My friend Kathy provided the voice, puppeteering and punched up the script I wrote. \u00a0I did the camera work along with the crude artwork behind my dragon puppet Fuinseog; pronounced FWEN-shoy-uh, it&#8217;s Irish Gaelic for <em>ash<\/em> which is about right for fire-breathing dragons). We did this in six takes and Kathy punched it up with Final Cut Pro in 10 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Back in March I was excited about finally being a player in a D&amp;D game, new people, etc. We even had what is traditionally called Session Zero; it&#8217;s when everybody makes up their new characters and we hammer out a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/maggipicayune.derr.io\/wp\/2019\/05\/21\/campaign-2-is-kind-of-under-way-fuinseogs-follies\/\">Continue reading <span class=\"meta-nav\">&rarr;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[137],"class_list":["post-22002","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-dnd","tag-fantasy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/maggipicayune.derr.io\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22002","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/maggipicayune.derr.io\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/maggipicayune.derr.io\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maggipicayune.derr.io\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maggipicayune.derr.io\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22002"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/maggipicayune.derr.io\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22002\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22163,"href":"https:\/\/maggipicayune.derr.io\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22002\/revisions\/22163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/maggipicayune.derr.io\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22002"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maggipicayune.derr.io\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22002"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/maggipicayune.derr.io\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22002"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
