Shortly, I’ll be heading out the door to meet up with some guys from Ohio State who have allowed me to join their gaming group. I’ve only played with them once before, but it was a lot of fun. Today I get to join in a long-running campaign that one of the guys has been running. I’m about 10 sessions late, so a lot has happened, so I get to get thrown in media res. The setting can be summed up as D&D Supers in some ways. I decided that I wanted to have a character that would allow me to grow into, and used the concept of having a tabula rasa John Doe character to play. The character has a severe lack of memory after waking up on board a sailing ship as a press-ganged crew member. He has since escaped from the ship and is stuck on a new continent and has been moving around for the past year or so trying to work out who he is, why he can’t remember his past, and how to get home. I’ve got some of the details of his character worked out, but I’ll be adding to it as I go. In short, he’s a rogue who knows how to fight well, and is pretty eagle-eyed and observant. He’s also pretty knowledgeable about the world and seems to be able to meld into any group of people without any trouble. He’s also pretty handy with swords and daggers and has shown footpads and others who have thought to prey on him the error of their ways.

I used the excellent freeware PCGen software to create the character, and it’s a pretty neat tool. The latest version 5.16.2 adds support for 4e sources too.

I am so stoked to be gaming again! Today is going to be a lot of fun. More to report once the game is over.
