We are the Big Fat Geeks, a mirthful fellowship of old school gamers and
RPGers. As a computer gaming guild, we have been together for over ten
years through several tabletop platforms, and dozens of MMORPGs. As a
pen and paper guild, we have been together for over 20 years (yea,
several of us are as old as lich-droppings in Acererak's outhouse). We
recently arrived here at D20. We play house rules home-brew 2.X. I have
converted several TSR and Judge's Guild classics into tourney dungeons
and campaigns. We are currently play-testing TSR's C1 - Hidden Shrine
of Tamoachan in its original tournament mode. We are a consensus-driven
group of nerds and fan-boys that love RP and D&D. Our next
intended foray would be to start new characters in a beginner campaign.
This will help us flesh out our house rules together as a group, and
prepare for good character-destiny driven campaign design as you
progress out of lower levels. We will be gaming through TSR's In Search
of Adventure, which includes modules B1-B9 (yep, 10 "instances" crammed
together tighter than a fat dwarf trying to shinny into a portable hole
for a nap). As a social guild, play can be slower at times, but the
group we play with is a barrel of fun. Our guild motto is, "It's not the
quest, it's the people you choose to travel with that make all the
difference." (It used to be, "Pass the Keoghtm's" but nobody could
pronounce Keoghtm's, so we changed it.) If you are interested, drop me a note and we can meet up in our geek-vent and see
if there is a match in play-style. Anyone interested in
playing D&D with old hippies and young fan-boys are welcome.
Rule-Nazis are serious buzz-shavers and will be pressured to relax and
release their logical, physics based beliefs (perhaps while deeply
inhaling some Hobbiton pipe-weed). We have not set standard times/days for gaming - but we play almost nightly, so we can figure it all out with ease.
