Sooo a while back I put in a little bit of a request with our alien overlord hosts. And shockingly enough it not only came through, it was actually what I asked for! Crazy right? Turns out good things happen to not-so-great people after all, which, obviously I don't mean me. I'm amazing.

Anyway what I got was this really awesome game from back home called "Bunkers & Badasses". So awesome in fact that there's still a copy of it even after the universe was destroyed which I feel is pretty indicative of the sheer levels of awesomeness we're dealing with here.

I don't know if any of you guys had tabletop back home but basically you create a character by choosing your fantasy race and class, and then you go on adventures and roll a bunch of dice! Bunker Teams are best in groups of four but being the utterly amazing Bunker Master I am, I'm willing to accommodate anyone who's interested in playing through a short campaign or two. The rules aren't too hard and making a character is easy.

I'm thinking maybe in the next two weeks or so? Let me know if you're interested or have any questions.

What do you mean? Did something not go through?

[ Because if there is, clearly using voice will help with that issue. ]

Does this work?

Haha, funny Giovanni! You go ahead and crack jokes while you can, you're totally coming to my campaign night.

What's dungeons and dragons??

Willing to train up a newbie?

I've read some source books for games but I've never really had a group or anything. Not familiar with that one, but I know the concepts.

[rhygret]

Of course. I figure the first little bit will be character creation and explaining rules, and then after that I'll start the game off and get you guys going.

Do you know what sort of character you want to make?

text; un: labyrinths

[buildindreemz]

Sounds fun, I'm in. Haven't done tabletop since I was in high school, though.

[rhygret]

Oh man you've been missing out. They've released a few editions since then which...actually does no matter since we are probably not from the same universe. Never mind! I'll give everyone the rundown before we start and all that, don't worry.

audio | un: priest

[congratulating]

I have never played any game of that sort. Still, young Bunkers Master, your enthusiasm has convinced me to give it a try. I hope you do not mind helping a novice.

Still, somehow, from your words, it sounds as though there would be something missing from my life if I did not, is that not so?

[rhygret]

[ Because none of that sounds ominous!!

Granted Rhys can't read it but he takes to heart that playful(?) quip and responds in turn with confidence. ]

You haven't truly lived until you've taken on a fictional bandit camp filled with dwarves and orcs, it's true. You're definitely welcome to come play, just let me know what type of character you're interested in making.

whoaaaaa that looks fun! also complicated (・_・ヾ

[rhygret]

It's really not that bad. The basic run of things is you roll a dice, and if you beat the challenge number you succeed and do damage! But roleplaying's a big part of it too.

I think I've heard of this shit.

[Because there's a variant of it the comics, and I DO WHAT I WANT. #HEADCANONLYFE] I didn't realize you were this much of a nerd, Rhys.

[rhygret]

Why thank- you. And when you say nerd I know you mean it in the cool way.

[ because there is no other kind of nerd out there #facts ]

You want in Rocket?

I highly doubt your dumb game survived the destruction of the universe.

And anyone who seriously plays Dungeons & Dragons in a world where BOTH exist cannot, and will never, be considered amazing.

[rhygret]

That's the second time someone's mentioned that. What is it?

[shashka]

[ oh hello fellow anonymous person that he spoke to anonymously. ]

Sounds like a good opportunity to meet new people. I'd be interested.

[ what better way of gathering information on others than through a friendly game of... whatever this is. it's not like it can be that complicated. ]

[rhygret]

[ Heyyyyyyy how you been bro kill any people recently ]

Cool! It'll be in a week or two so you've got some time to think about what kind of character you want to be. I figure we'll start off with a rundown of the rules, get into some character creation, and then set off on your first adventure.

[gh0stamidstthec0mbat]

Are dice provided,
Or will we have to bring them?
I should purchase some.

[rhygret]

Oh well buying some wouldn't be a bad idea but if you needed extra I could totally lend you some
I have tons of dice

[ No he doesn't but he sure as heck will go out and buy a bunch of it means lending them to Zer0!! ]

text; un: THE_HAMMER

[ruffboi]

Haha this is some nerd shit.

Cool guys are badasses even if its not a game.

[rhygret]

Okay you say that, and it almost sounds like it's a bad thing? But obviously that would be totally wrong. It survived an inter-dimensional apocalypse which makes it bad ass by default.

[chaoticlootral]

Interesting! Real quick, my man, have you tried going outside or, I don't know, getting high? You know. Cool people stuff?

[rhygret]

Ha ha! Funny, you're so funny there. Laugh all you want LinkedIn this campaign is going to be epic and you're just going to miss out.

[winddaughter]

sounds kind of lame

[which is both a white lie and not a "no"]

[rhygret]

What's lame is missing out on the best fantasy adventure of your life Anemone. Come on! It'll be fun. I'll even help you make a character. Haven't you ever wanted to chop an evil sorcerer in half? Or do battle with a fearsome foe?

Do we have to wear costumes

Some people where I'm from wear costumes when they play games

[rhygret]

Huh I didn't actually think of that.

I mean if you want to? It's not required or anything.

[inaurare]

I'm not sure I understand.

[after a pause, which he takes to re-read the information again-]

This is a game?

[rhygret]

Only the best game ever invented. One game of Bunkers & Badasses and I guarantee you'll be hooked.

[unweave]

So... you want to play make-believe when there's a shit ton of monsters to hunt and people throwing coin for "quests"?

[rhygret]

Look this stuff didn't exist back home alright? And I'm not going to copy Olympia. I'm spicing stuff up so there's a little of everything!

[text | un: mantis]

[uglybug]

Everything I just read confuses me, but I think that I would like to try it, if you don't mind.

[rhygret]

Oh hey Mantis! For sure! Do you want me to go over the rules or anything with you? I can help you roll up a character too.

[ Congrats, Rhys. You can finally educate the fantasy elf about fantasy games ]

This sounds like a very strange kind of game. Is it at all like chess?

permavoice

[rhygret]

Uhhh...no. But you play it at a table so you're like, halfway there?

[ Kinda-sorta-not-really ]

I describe the situation, you tell me what you want to do, we roll some dice to see what happens! You use your imagination bro.

[motivation]

you're such a nerd

[ she types this not without affection. but wow. ]

so let's hear it
what fantasy race and class would i be

[rhygret]

I am going to take that as a compliment so thank-you.

As for you, that's easy: Gladiator class. I actually knew one in person before the world ended which is pretty cool. You remind me a little bit of her except way better at talking to people. Or anyone.

I feel like either way you'd still be a human? On account of you killing the goo people before.

id: karad

[mayarah]

That sounds like fun! I've never played anything like that, though.

[rhygret]

Don't worry! I'll be walking everyone through the rules of the game before we set up and play. Technically I can help you go through creating a character or at least getting some ideas right now since if we did all of that the day of it'd be a total mess.

Only two "amazings" and three "awesomes?" You sound a bit lukewarm about this.

[rhygret]

Hahaha. I had three amazings and then someone pointed it out so I changed one.

For sure bro! Nice to see someone finally appreciating this game, it's about time. What class do you want to be??

this sounds like the best idea I've heard since waking up
I'm so in

what do I need to do, do I need to do something, is there a list of participants
and if there is can I bribe you to put me as number one

[rhygret]

There's no list [ but if there was Zer0 would be in first ]

But you can definitely come. Do you have a character idea yet?
