    Tell us, Johnny, of your noble quest
    I know not the rules, but you are surely the best!
    And what are "campaigns," in terms of this game?
    I have a feeling that political ones are not quite the same.
    And what exactly is this game's timeless appeal?
    My father played it 20 years ago with the same sort of zeal.
    Of dragons, dwarves, and other creatures of fantasy
    I cant help but feel the pull of the games mystery;
    Is it a game of luck, math, strategy?
    Perhaps I'll try it myself, give it a see...

    It's a Friday, and Wrey started the ball rolling.
    Besides, it's fun.

    That sounds great, you guys are having fun,
    we get a few encounters in before our day is done
    We're still on level one, and fighting weak foes,
    but close to level two, maybe next time, who knows.
    Our sorceror shot a fire ball at a goblin of a horde
    and single shotted him (it was sweet) and then scattered his ashy corpse:p
    FYI Avenger class kinda sucks, they're like emo pallidins,
    they have no armor and weak attacks, they ain't packin'

    I wish I could in a poet's form, there is so much to tell,
    of creatures, quests, and epic deeds, and charms, and...spells.:redface:
    The stuff of legend, dream, and nerdiness, of a class unsurpassed,
    a little tactics, a little fun, and a lot of bloody clash!

    I would like to join the fun,
    but my rhyming skill is kind of poo,
    And when all is said and done,
    I would still rather watch Doctor Who.

    Your rhyming games sound really fun
    but it now time for my time here to be done
    I must now say adious
    because my time is at a close

    I have a little pet Dalek,
    Only one little pet Dalek,
    Because try as I might,
    No matter what I write,
    'Dalek' only rhymes with 'Dalek'.

    @Johnathan

    Thanks for the input and 'splaining to me
    Perhaps I'd be best to Bing, Google, and Wiki
    To learn the ins and outs of this game, complex
    And if the Web reveals none, it's you I must...hex? :confused:

    :D

    I lament that I suck at this game,
    my skills are just kind of lame.
    I just can't compare, it's not even fair
    I'm regretting that I even came:(

    Golly gee...look at the time
    5:00 and the weekend's mine
    should I have some taquila and lime
    No...go to the movies and stand in line
    I'm volunteering to chaperone youth
    I'm kinda nervous and afraid
    I'm so vulger and uncouth
    Too bad I'm not getting paid


    Have a fun day, fun day fun day
    See you on all on Monday

    It be a very intricate game,
    Learn it in a few googles you shan't
    'Tis an open-ended pastime; there is no shame
    The rules fill up volumes, none of them scant.

    It seems my nerdy rhymes do not appeal,
    So time to try a different angle,
    How about something a bit more surreal,
    Or is this rhyme already a mangle?

    Like Carmina, I too must soon depart
    For Jason Bourne, he owns my heart
    Tonight he will learn his identity
    Tomorrow establishes supremacy
    It also doesnt hurt that Matt Damon is hot
    He's someone I like to look at a lot. :D
    Cogito, oh no! But I havent the patience nor fortitude
    I suppose it's a challenge for another day and mood.

    I'm wishing you well; good night to you all
    Another day on you I shall call....

    :)

    D20srd.org I recommend
    Though house rules often break formal, I contend
    The crux is most important, really
    Don't punish dissenters too severely.
    Balance has often been shown to be off
    (20th level Monk? Makes me scoff!)
    And though each class may stand you in good stead
    Bards often rush in ahead
    Besides, a bard, spoony or nay
    Has skills most useful in peace or fray
    Invisibility, for perversion
    Yet still a subversion
    Of such a cliché as the 'promiscous bard'
    Will make your friends say: "Oh, such a card!"
    For maximum comedy, make him an elf
    Out of touch with reality, others, himself!
    For true enjoyment in Dee and Dee
    Comes from humor - not taking it seriously!

    A wise man once said: "It's the journey that counts."

    I am very relaxed now. I've been on this high-energy optimism kick as of late, and while optimism is good, it's not good to be this high up there all the time. I'm taking the much-needed steps back and relaxing, settling into a more neutral mood.
