I figured that went without saying, really.  But yes, I'd definitely be friends with Joran and his family, and my other Forgotten Realms characters.  |

My character is boring. All that power and all he does is
sit in the backround and run agents all the time. |

| My character would probably try to mug me. Or let me tag along until I got killed, so he could loot the corpse. |

teehee! I'm pretty sure most of my characters would murder me or make me lump around all their loot... This may have something to do with my two most noteworthy characters being a former Drow-slave psionic assassin and a psychotic gnomish clown.
As for actual friends, I think being on excellent terms with the scion of a powerful and at least vaguely benevolent Waterdhavian noble house would be a good place to start...  |

I would try and get Qilue to teach me to dance...
As for my characters.
I'ld hang with Tarlek (bar crawling, skirt chasing, bard), watch Rathmir (eccentric to the point of loony tunes wizard) with amusement, and head for the hills if I even got wind of Bastion (man with no name, everybody dies, antihero fighter). |

(I want to be surprised that no one has said this already for themselves) I think me and Jan Jansen from BG2 would get along really well. His cousin Beeloo also seems like good company, when he's not on the run, that is!
Also, I think it'd be so fun to become friends w/a friendly dragon who has mine - and Jan's - sense of humor! Not for any sense of power, but rather one whom we can share our sense of humor with, like the description on Copper Dragons! One whom we can live vicariously through!
Like we'd joke w/it to intimidate vampires by showing up where they're at, bearing fangs and having claws twitching, and then upon lookin at their fearful faces, say that "Don't worry! My favourite story is Twilight! Y'know, by Stephanie Meyer! So, are y'all the Volturi? Prolly not b/c I saw 1 of you pick your nose unbeknownst to you that the girl was watching you! So what do y'all think of the Monks of the Long Death? 'Know they from Thay? 'Guess they aint all wizards, eh? Gettin back to the things that matter, which of you are Team Jacob, and which of you are Team Edward?"
Then go intimidate the goblinoid tribes in the High Moor that live by raiding, into knitting Hello Kitty patterns into their armor; teach'em that speaking deliberately exaggerated urban broken english w/dramatic gesticulations followed by finishing sentences in dramatic grunts and spitballs is actually secret code to getting better prices when bartering in Soubar; then come off at'em as an aggressive revival preacher and teach'em that rolling over like dogs is a religious experience that brings spiritual and financial prosperity!
And finally introduce yourself to a conniving wizard that you are the famous ancient wyrm known as the great Calishite genie-dragon, parttime planewalker, fulltime sage "Aballa-kazzam-yafrantikalla-cullaz-yamanarion-feyvander-culinarion-yoonowut-iymsayinarion," and then arrogantly tell'em that if he didn't say it right the 1st time that he's not as smart as he thinks he is, and that if he took time to study saying it that's he's juss a fool w/o any wisdom, showing how way over his head he really is, and really isn't at all worthy of the 3 wishes to be granted that the dragon here randomly showed up for! And that while the conniving wizard's name and title on Toril is 'Framkul the Fire Dominator' or something like that, all throughout the planes he's known as 'Farf the Quondam!' and nobody cares at all about'em and all are fully wise to all his contrived conniving schemes! Things like that!
And then there's the ideas that Jan would love to share with him/her! |

Once you've been spun around through the spokes of the Great Wheel a few times you get used to that sort of strangeness and just take it in stride. Puzzling out the ranting of one addled mage is nothing compared to navigating a modron bureaucracy. Or trying to find your way around Eltabbar. |

Actually, this past week, I've been reading Elminster's Ecologies Appendix II's section on The High Moor, saw the Twilight movie that came out over the summer, thought about gettin back to playin NWN (Re: Grimgnaw reference and thoughts thereof), read the Harry Potter thread by Jellenet here and how ppl are receptive to havin'em in their respective campaigns (I always put RW stuff I like in my Realms), read this thread and thought about my favourite Realms character and why he's so awsome, thought about what we'd do if he was in my party regarding the adventure hooks in the book I'm reading (and what he'd want from the copper dragons in the area, which I began to understand is the same thing I'd want!), thought about what we'd seek to do about the rivals of the sorcerer who used to employ him, and thought about buying Planescape: Torment (gog.com got it). Put all that together, and you'd find my post makes absolute perfect sense!
That was juss the inner workings of my post. But really, all you had to do was read the 2e or 3e Monster Manual lore on copper dragons (I RP that b/c dragons are so much smarter and wiser than people, ALL types of dragons can be of different alignments and different personalities - not colour coding who they are - and I juss happen to dig the ones who have my sense of humor the most; the MM's make that be the copper ones!) and do some research on Jan Jansen from BG2, and then my post would've made perfect sense to you!
You tend to have freaky campaigns yourself Alystra, so I wonder how you failed to put the details together from my post to the point that it was too wierd for you. Shame on you!

No, it's fine, but I really have no idea what you were referring to with most of that stuff. Twilight I can't stand, so just avoid, and I've never played Baldur's gate games, unless one counts the two DA games. The stuff about goblinoid tribes and rival wizards I just didn't get. But hey- whatever floats your boat, man!
And yeah, some of my campaigns get a bit zany, but it's mostly a product of people wanting to do bazaar things with their PC's (like the girl in my last group with the weird curse) and me just being my usual evil self about giving them what they want in ways that are not what they intended. Or having them reap what they sow in twisted but funny ways- like the nasty little cat statue incident. Some of those things lead to really great adventures, like the wizard's tower run that came out of the PC who stole the cat statue from the shrine of Bast (Pashutsa in my home realm). They never DID quite get to rescuing that poor cat lord from the wizard!! |
