@xirin: Are you set on playing in person?
You could try finding online groups through reddit or roll20

@iggy: You should try cleric. With some domains you can still do the smashy pretty well, and you get more spell casting than a paladin.
What edition do you play?

@Constance: Considering you guys had a dead guy in your caravan, and are *LITERALLY DEMONS*
I think he's a pretty cool guy.
Who doesn't like a buff old dude?

I play with some people I met online.
They were just a group of random people at first, but I'd consider them friends now.
We've been playing together about 7-8 months now I think.

I'd dabbled with different forms of DnD before that, but this is the first group I've been in that I could actually call "playing DnD"
We play 5th Edition, and I highly recommend it for newbies. Much simpler to get into.

We started off with playing the Lost Mines of Phandelver pre-written adventure, and the DM slipped in his own custom NPC, which lead into his homebrew world after we finished the written adventure.

I'm also playing another game with the same group, but another person is DMing. It's like a Spelljammer game. (DnD in space, with technology)

My two main character are Arne Takala, and Daja Tyse.
Arne is my character in the standard DnD game. He started as a human barbarian from a tribe of nomadic people that valued strength above all else. He was an unconventional barbarian because the DM allowed me to use dex instead of strength for my barbarian abilities.
After we finished the pre-written adventure the DM said we could change our character (with his approval), if we were unhappy with anything.
I felt like I didn't have many options with Arne, so I wanted to switch out of barbarian.
I had been playing him pretty religiously, and during the pre-written adventure we had found a weapon that had ties to a god he worshiped.
So I ran with that and switched him to a Sun Soul Monk, who worshiped a god of light.
It was easy to work into the story too. He had received visions from his god, and was 'filled with the light' of his god.
So he gave up his inner rage to embrace the light.


Tyse is a Goblin Arcane Trickster Rogue.
In the future-space-world the different races aren't looked down upon as much, and goblins are a bit less savage.
Tyse was left as an orphan at a large library/religious organization.
He was raised to be a keeper of the large library.
He turned out to be smarter than the average goblin and learned quickly, but he had an insatiable curiosity, and loved to rummage through things. Especially the things he was told not to.

No cabinets, closets, drawers, or trunks were safe from Tyse's ransacking.
Eventually he got into something he really was not meant to, and he was taken into custody.
But he was a slippery little bastard and made an escape.

After that he got into the world of crime, using his skills to 'find things' for clients.

His name is made from smashing my real names together in a way that sounded nice and goblin like.
And the idea for Tyse came from a friend who once joked about having 'cabinet goblins' because she had a bad habit of leaving cabinets open.
I do the same thing, so that's where Tyse came from.

Well, my Kozi inspired avi didn't last too long after I saw the Dark Arika mouth pose.
Now I'm Murdoc Niccals style.

Yall, this is too reaaaal

(I really like one of the colors of the mouth pose. Gives a real Murdoc Niccals vibe.)

@Angelus: You watch Blue Bloods?
My mom leaves her TV on crime show channels, so I happen to catch episodes of that when I'm visiting her.
I think it's really good.
Like, probably my favorite crime show.
Before it would be Criminal Minds.

Well fudge.
Time to go back.

@Angelus: The actor who played Bernard went on to be a lead character in a crime show called Numb3rs.
It's about a mathematician who helps the police solve crimes using math and statistics to figure out what a criminal's next moves are.
