[Kutshort Yes]

For the newbies: THIS IS A LEGITIMATE BACKSTORY TO HAVE

I’ll take it!

 

[VashTheStampede]

I just realized how nice it's going to be to DM and act out various NPCs without feeling like I have to speak in a different accent for each one of them.

My rogue has a NY-style accent

Any pineapples I see on pizza will be tapped and turned to booze so you don't need to deal with that shit while sober.

All dwarves have a Scottish font.

All accompanied by this gif so we know

You really care about my wellbeing!

 

[Lok Ahl]

I want to be a big tall giant (like...30 feet?) but I'm super timid and afraid of hurting anyone. Walk around real cautious like. I'm an enchanter, focus on illusion spells to avoid fighting. I have a spellbook but I can't read, so I need someone to read to me.

 

[Lok Ahl]

Name suggestions welcome

What's happening here

The angry Canadian warrior has arrived.

 

[Short Order]

He's polite, but mad. Carries an axe and skates for when needed. Maple syrup cures his ails.

 

[Dungeon Master]

What's happening here

You are.

Can't forget you. It wanted to lay it out like the bestiary page with info and just pretends to know what letters are, but I'm running with that being what you see on the page.

You tag along because your goal is to also teach Kutshort how to read. You struggle through together.

Maybe you met at a reading for adults class.

ah yes yes, the sneak-giant

our party is coming along quite nicely

 

[Gordon Howard]

My guy is named Gordan Howard

Last names, how could I forget

Do I get a last name or am I like Cher or Madonna?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

My guy is named Gordan Howard

 

[VashTheStampede]

Do I get a last name or am I like Cher or Madonna?

yes

 

[Kutshort Yes]

yes

“Kutshort Yes” does sound like a good name to be shouted along with magical wood

 

[Short Order]

I'll discover my name in short order.

Actually, Short Order is a good name for a woodland creature that can turn fruit into booze at will.

 

[Short Order]

But maybe not the word short because of kuts character

 

[Aims'Orreh Mwuh'Bwadd]

A very self-conscious and self-sacrificing half-orc barbarian who will immediately throw himself in harms way the instant there is even a small threat.

Somewhat aptly named Aims'orreh Mwuh'bawdd.

 

[VashTheStampede]

*furiously deletes plans for grimdark campaigns*

 

[Short Order]

@GwJumpman your character name should have Springbok in it.

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

This thread exploded and I stopped reading at some point.

You all give me the resources and I'll be there.

Also...

We need to bring it up for a vote in the mod forum first

Maybe Vash can nominate me as a mod this time around!!!!!

 

[Aims'Orreh Mwuh'Bwadd]

*furiously deletes plans for grimdark campaigns*

It's all good. He's full into constitution. He can take it!

 

[Lok Ahl]

With how clever these names are, I suppose mine should be Lok Ahl

 

[VashTheStampede]

Ironically ( Jon) we are watching Willow for Family Movie Night tonight and Madmartigan was the inspiration for like 80% of the D&D characters in my life.

 

[Tommy Boy]

@Ben Can you generate me A Guy without it being a child? I assume the prompt "Tommy Boy" won't get anything that isn't weird so maybe try and tweak a little?

 

[Short Order]

Well at this point we are working on building a dedicated forum for all D&D activities...

...there's been no actual sign-ups per se, all that will come when we've got the home all sorted.

This was more to assess interest, and I think that's been a rousing success.

Arousing Success could be a new user name for me

 

[Kutshort Yes]

But maybe not the word short because of kuts character

It’s fine, Erik and Eric are similar as well

 

[Short Order]

You're a thief who can't tell a lie.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Arousing Success could be a new user name for me

That could be the enchantment in my wood

 

[Tommy Boy]

@Ben Are you using Midjourney for this? I have a trial period for one month through discord but I have no idea what I'm doing

 

[Dungeon Master]

I haven't really been using usernames in them at all, so I can make it whatever. You decide what you want to play and something will fall from my fingertips.

Definitely still just in the building the framework stage. When I have time to get on my PC for a good while I'm going to try to set up the user fields for stats and stuff as Mark proposed, make sure mods could edit them, etc. I'd say once all that seems to be set then Vash can go wild with actual campaign setup.

All of these I just crunched out on my phone using ChatGPT. I use a local Stable Diffusion install on my PC and would have more freedom to actually put my own direction into things, inpainting, etc.

You gotta give him some details to work with. Like, what type of character would you like to play as?

Oh huh interesting. My ChatGPT only lets me do text stuff.

Yeah I realized that after I went back and read a little bit I'll think of somethin

Go with my thief who can't tell a lie one!

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

Interesting AI, btw, @Ben.

I love that image of a wolf hacker in my profile banner. I stumbled on that as inspiration for a hacker I made for Shadowrun. I need a wolf for my D&D character methinks. Wolf of any class and role methinks.

 

[Tommy Boy]

I threw it in Midjourney and got a badass instead of a goof like I was trying for lol

 

[Tommy Boy]

This one is much better

I see he also has a tribal tattoo

 

[Short Order]

Your backstory is that you got caught stealing from a witch and tried to lie your way out of it. The result was a curse that prevents you from lying every again.

 

[Moonsprout Beandirt]

Looks like the sort of fella that would get banned multiple times from different establishments
