ahh yeah, me and a couple friends tried getting into some board games but mostly decided we preferred the free-er dungeoncrawling experience haha. Finding a group is definitely hard, my current group with my college friends meets up about every other week (though in busy school season sometimes once a month and occasionally only once over summer we have a get-together/cookout but that's probably not happening this year)
Ooh, that's really cool! I'm still super into it, but I usually write my whole campaign and homebrew my own things to fit the theme (using existing stuff would be easier, but where's the fun in that? xD).
I should really get into pre-rolling new characters lol. I usually spec starting at level 5 so I do know how to get a character rolled quickly (I can do a lv5 in ~30mins) but I usually don't really have a plan for my character... I just kinda go for it. Rolling up new ones for my current campaigns would really help though (one of them is especially rippy, I think we've almost TPKed about twice now.)
ahhhh I never played 4e x_x I just made the jump straight from 3.5e to 5th ed. Me and my friends mix and match certain mechanics, but usually we use the character sheets from 5e. I agree though, base 5e can be a bit too simple if the DM isn't hard enough xD
oof damn, I don't think I could ever do 10 active campaigns at once
though usually I play with a lot of different groups. I get a lot of different experience playing in different groups, since I'm more vocal in some campaigns than others, haha.
I honestly suck at the role-playing aspect sometimes... all my brainpower got devoted into combat tactics. Wanna share some tips?
