badbehaviour: hey
badbehaviour: my first question is can i have a steampunk chainsaw

He is too shy to type anything but he likes these people.

imrainai: not at level one bb <3

badbehaviour: ruin all my fun why don't you
badbehaviour: it's cool it's cool
badbehaviour: anyway yes if you need violence and mayhem i'm your girl

z: i call rogue i like being the rogue

z: unless like we need a cleric for not dying

imrainai: and what would a D&D party be without violence and mayhem

imrainai: yeah z you can be a rogue, we're gonna do Pathfinder so magic items are around and we can drop a wand of cure light wounds or something on you as a collective

imrainai: for anyone who needs character-building mechanics help i... have spent way too much time memorizing the rules of this game honestly

badbehaviour: that's good to hear cause i've never actually played

He is fully grown adult who is definitely capable of messaging other people about D&D.

endowment-effect: I've also never actually played but I've spent a fuckton of time reading the rulebooks so I think I'll be okay

See, was that so hard? (Yes.)

z: it’s not that hard once you’ve got all the fiddly character stuff done

z: i’m a dumbass and i do fine

imrainai: yeah super valid on both counts <3

imrainai: bb I'm gonna set you up with a barbarian for maximum mayhem-causing

imrainai: your class ability is basically getting super mad and smashing things, details here

imrainai: you don't have to read all that I can plug some stuff in for you and get you set up

badbehaviour: im excited as heck

z: so i’ve got lucien who’s a talky rogue and sky who’s a stabby rogue but i’d kinda have to tone down sky he’s real himself

z: imrainai is there gonna be more talking or stabbing

imrainai: moderate amounts of both talking and stabbing, with more talking if you are inclined to talk to people and more stabbing if you are inclined to stab them

imrainai: i believe in giving people meaningful gameplay choices

imrainai: it is not a dungeon crawl but there will probably be smol dungeons at some point

z: legit. i think i’m gonna go with lucien i have a feeling this party’s gonna need a charisma score

endowment-effect: that's fair, my wizard has charisma as his dump stat

imrainai: solid decisions all around

So she'll help people build characters, drop some icons on their virtual gaming table, and explain the important parts of the interface they're using, and then it will be time to have an adventure.

She's pretty good at making things up on the fly; bedtime stories have given her a lot of practice. This opening is mostly to serve as an introduction to the game and to the various characters, who are tasked with investigating a cave-in of the local catacomb system. There's an investigation phase and some sleuthing. Also there are zombies, and subsequently there is mayhem. She thinks she does a pretty good job of tying everyone into the story and making their skills relevant to the task at hand, and she ties it up fairly neatly at the end instead of leaving them with a definite hook for another session, just in case they don't want to do another session.

imrainai: sooooo how was that

imrainai: should we talk about scheduling a thing a week from now or have you all entirely lost faith in my DMing skills

endowment-effect: I'm up for a thing next week

badbehaviour: that was awesome!!! yeah let's do it again!

z: obviously yes

z: if lucien doesn’t clear his name from the zombie guts thing he’s gonna cry

imrainai: :D :D :D

imrainai: OK i will prepare a thing

imrainai: you guys were awesome <3

z: you were awesome

z: also thank you imrainai’s amazing batman friend for saving my ass

Uh. 

endowment-effect: batman friend?????

z: oh sorry she told me you had opinions about batman so that’s your name in my head now

z: i’d replace it with endowment but that’s pretty awkward

z: effect? ee??

endowment-effect: no I'm happy with 'batman friend'

endowment-effect: it's just funny

endowment-effect: for secret reasons

endowment-effect: my name's lev

badbehaviour: nice to meet you, batman
