Oh so you're kind of playing the monsters and stuff instead of a character? That's pretty cool. Ray said he thought you'd be a great DM, though, and I definitely agree from the sounds of it.
yeah, i would design the plot, basically, and the obstacles, the items you find. pretty much it's like playing god. except once the game is started i have to play by the rules, too. which can lead to some pretty funny stuff.
like this one time in college a couple science-type guys in my dorm actually wanted to play so we all got together one evening and they spent like an hour and a half rolling characters only for this one guy to get in a bar fight with a kobold - that's like, a kind of goblin basically - and he wanted to throw a molotov cocktail at it. and like, i told him not to. but he was really insistent, so he did and i rolled for how much like fire damage to the bar it would cause, and got a natural twenty and they all had to roll to get OUT of the fire and no one got over a three so their characters all died like ten minutes into the campaign.
so what kinda character you think you're gonna want to be?
That sounds like such a pain, but I probably would've been laughing for an hour, because that's hilarious.
I'm not really sure. What kind of characters are there? It might be kind of fun to play a character who's a hero but kind of a jerk. You know? It's medieval, right? So probably a knight or something??
there's a whole lot, like thieves and wizards and BARDS who basically just go around singing at monsters (ok they do more than that). depends what version we're gonna be playing - i'm gonna head to the library and look for those books and we can go over the options tonight if you want.

Wait I could play a wizard, like with a wand and stuff? Who sings at monsters?
Wait do you play a bard? That seems like a thing you'd play. And if you play a bard, do you have to sing when you're doing the roleplaying part?
Okay. Do you want me to come help look?

no, no singing for the players. that'd be hilarious tho.
sure. see you there. 😘
