#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 31 – D&D 3E (WotC)
And so I end with a whimper, and not the bang I had been hoping for. This week can die in a fire. No. I refuse to go down that easy. So…the closest to a bang I can conjure on short notice is Scorch Talon. Scorch is a half-elf I created back in the day…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 30 – D&D 3E (WotC)
Well, this month ended in fire, not the triumphant crescendo I had hoped for. So I am going to tap my well of eTools 3E characters so I have something to finish with. This version of Orrin may be the first 3E character I ever played. A CG half-orc cleric of Kord for The World’s…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 29 – D&D 3E (WotC)
Today fell apart. So I’m falling back on the vast library of 3E characters I created when I was futzing around with the eTools 3E D&D program. Talk about a trip down memory lane! Sometimes you just want just have to use a really big blunt object to get the Justice across. Orrin – Half-orc…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 14 – D&D 3E (WotC)
Returning to my series of E6 characters that place highly in competition. This one is not a response to yesterday’s character, but it is very much a counterpoint to it. Sometimes, you just want to be the shining hero. Vitarri Pyhitetty Paranemiseen How do you deal with being born a literal force for law and…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 13 – D&D 3E (WotC)
Continuing the E6 trend, but taking a break from my few high placers and into one of the characters I’m most proud of. The guy took up a lot of my mental space for a long time. I still love his backstory and just how much he bends, folds, staples, and mutilates the 3E sorcerer…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 12 – D&D 3E (WotC)
Continuing the trend of E6 characters, here is one I banged out in the night before the deadline for this particular Iron Chef. He took 2nd place in that competition, over a much more involved character I spend a lot more skull sweat on. Spirit got banged out in the closing hours of the Challenge…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 11 – D&D 3E (WotC)
My descent into D&D 3E and its successors formalized something I already knew subconsciously: I love the character creation mini-game. That’s a good thing, because 3E demands it. Fortunately, even though I no longer play D&D 3E, I get to scratch that it through the Giant in the Playgrounds forums: giantitp.com/forums There is an intermittent…

The last TSR release?
Once upon a time, Wizards of the Coast (WotC) bought TSR. One of the first things WotC did was pick various fan websites and designate them as the “official fansite” of specific settings. Many of these sites have gone dark, but a few remain active to this day. Other things WotC did was speed up…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 9 – 3E Dungeons & Dragons
Once upon a time, I played A LOT of D&D 3E. It was the only game in town for the old College Gaming Group (even a decade post-college). I have an old character creator program called eTools with a lot of 3E content. So knocking out a basic character is fairly easy. Og the Fist…
