#CharacterCreationChallenge 2023 Post-mortem
Post-mortem: as defined by the Society for Creative Anachronism, a post-mortem is held after an SCA event to see what happened, what went right, and what went wrong. The military calls it an after-action report. This year’s goal was a different character RPG each day. Mission accomplished! I had to prewrite a lot of the…

#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 28 – AD&D 2E (TSR)
Following up yesterday’s post, the other task requested of me was to create a 7th-level NPC to serve as a guide for our time-traveling party of PCs. Since I didn’t know what that tricksie DM was up to, I wanted someone who could hold his own in a fight, while being well-enough rounded enough to…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 27 – AD&D 2E (TSR)
Anyone who follows my social medial knows how much I love the Al-Qadim setting for AD&D 2E. I’ve been running a campaign off-and-on now for over 20 years for the Friday Night Gaming group. Occasionally, one of the other players will DM Al-Awadim for a bit, and I get to *play* Al-Qadim for awhile. Awhile…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 26 – D&D 5E (WotC)
This day on my hiatus brings us to a character I created for a mid-level one-shot that never materialized. I was interested in trying a ranged character, which is still not something I’ve focused on in 5E. Child of a wandering divine soul serving St. Cuthbert and a orc barbarian mercenary protecting the region, Holg…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 25 – D&D 5E (WotC)
Building on yesterday’s post, here’s Kevan as he ended up after the conclusion of the initial adventure. We leveled up part way through, and with only two party members, I felt I needed more beef while maintaining some healing ability. So I added another level of Paladin. Kevan d’York – Human Warlock 1/Paladin 2

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 24 – D&D 5E (WotC)
Following up yesterday’s post on the 10-year-old’s 3rd-level barbarian as we finished the adventure, I present my 2nd-level character at the start of the adventure. We started at 2nd-level. I’ve had fun in the past with divinely-touched arcane spellcasters (Celestial Warlock, Divine Soul Sorcerer), but I wanted something a little more beefy this time, while…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 23 – D&D 5E (WotC)
On the other hand, the 13-year-old is capable of coming up with a campaign seed and start things off. He has a self-described problem of continuing after the initial bit, but I am pretty sure that will come with time. So when he described his next pitch as “Escape from Totally-Not-Fantasy-Australia-Where-Everything-IS-Trying-To-Kill-You”, the 10-year-old and I…
