I haven't camped in years but miss it a lot. And D&D! As I told Andy above you, I played my first game last year and loved it :)

Congrats on playing your first session of D&D! It is truly addicting and I'm interested to hear more about it. What class did you play for your first character? :)
Also beware of the dice addiction! Haha

Haha yeah. I played a moon elf mage named Aedan. I coded a basic web app to roll various types of dice because I couldn’t decide what type of dice to buy hahaha

That is so cool! A moon elf sounds amazing! I definitely fell into dice addiction because it was so difficult to choose just one set. Haha I have no regrets though because I can now put terrible rolling dice in "dice jail" until the next session. Kudos for making a basic web app for dice rolls! πŸ‘πŸ‘

I do need to get some good dice though! Where is the place you like to buy yours?

It was a lot of fun. Might do a rouge next…do you have a favorite class or character to play?

I usually buy dice from a local comic book/gaming store but Etsy has some truly incredible dice too.

I typically play cleric or paladin. My current campaign character is a dragonborn paladin named Qadira. She's pretty awesome. :) I am hoping to play a rouge that is literally stinky but can't smell their own stink in my next campaign. Haha It will probably warrant disadvantage on every stealth roll but that's a risk I am willing to take. :D

Haha that sounds awesome! Props for the creativity there too. And thanks for the Etsy tip!
