Hello

So Hello! I've just recently started trying out forums. I feel like many of you understand the format and how things work and I'm finding it fascinating. Might sound silly, but after so many years this becomes foreign to some! haha

 

Hey there and welcome to RPGFix :)

 

Thanks for the welcome

 

I'm making the switch back to forums rp for the first time in a very long time, so I feel you on the platform switch! What sorts of rp are you into? Any canons you really like, or are you an OC/OU person?

 

So I've been a long time D&D player. I've enjoyed renfair rp, and have even dabbled some LARP. Please help me out and explain what a OC/OU is, I'm going to guess Original Character and Original Universe? If so I am a huge fan of both. What kind of Canons are you into?

 

OC is Original Character. OU might be Original Universe, or might be a typo for AU which is Alternate Universe (take a canon character and change something up about them; make a boy a girl, make a girl a lesbian, turn everyone into animals, that sort of thing).

Which edition of D&D do you favor? I'm a bit old-school, I still play 3.5 myself.

 

3.5 for life haha. Though I do enjoy Pathfinder (aka 3.75) and I'd like to try out 5.0 at least once. Heard that was like a mix between 3.5 and Advanced (2.0).

As for RPing I really enjoy creating an OC and slipping them into a Cannon I enjoy. Like my DBZ character, Dorian, shows up looking like he shopped at Hot-Topic in the 90s at the World Torn. When Uub is introduced and while Goku goes off with Uub, Dorian is trained by Vegeta. Stuff like that.

 

Ah, cool. So many canons have corners the authors will never get to. It can be fun filling them in. :)

I remember the 90s Hot Topic look. Poor sod. :P

 

Lol, Gotta have those Goth Tripp pants haha

 

And the blacker-than-black nail polish.

 

Chains and zippers... so many unnecessary chains and zippers

 

Heya! I am just now getting into forums from using Boards2Go sites so it is a def. change for me too but it takes time to learn new things anyways
