The more I read up on that online D&D site, the more hyped I am to set up a new campaign. Who would be down?
Well I mean, fuck potatoes am I right?
I'd love too but I got too much other shit going on right now.
And by too much other shit I mean DOTA (and some other games) and a podcast. :lol
How would you run it? Via skype?

awww! You're very talented
Lol. Thanks. My art has been pretty known around these parts for the last few years.
Noooope.
Unless you count housework? Place is a shambles as I haven't had a chance to do much since we got back from holidays and I went back to work.
Making up for it by watching a Ken Burns doco right now and drinking a beer at 1am. You can't get more exciting than that.
You make a character that fits into the campaign (like, a level 1 character for a level 1 campaign) and then you and a few other people who have made characters go on an adventure that is overseen by a Dungeon Master.
Combat is played out in a series of dice rolls, you vs. the Dungeon Master. There are also skill checks to perform outside of combat that require dice. And there is also investigation and conversation to be had with NPCs.

I have no idea either to be honest.
I also don't really care. I am not into that RPG stuff.
Okeeh, yeah so I outed myself as newbie here.
After I stopped playing D&D I moved on to MUDs pretty heavily. They were way better than the non multiuser games of the day imo
Though the goldbox games made for a pretty good recreation of the D&D experience.
(I didn't know about their art either)

Fame apparently doesn't last too long on Gaf
Tis a fleeting thing Tence. Better to build your future on the rock of shitposting.

Watch the video I linked earlier
I wasn't particularly interested until I watched that, because it always seemed like this really dry, boring, nerdy thing. Like you never get the feeling it can be really silly from the descriptions.

In scottish, that sounds slang for shit, actual shit.
The best part is when your character forces you into silly situations and you find a way to role play it out.
If the group of people are dry, boring, and nerdy though it's a pretty bad experience.
you're on thin ice

Haha I think at first I wouldn't be super full time on it (also have other engagements) but I'll end up trying a couple of sessions with peeps.
I haven't gone all the way through the tutorials yet, but it looks like it has a chat engine but Skype would probably be on top for voice shenanigans.
Hells yeah, don't worry, I got ya covered for the awkwardness. I can provide enough in spaaades.
I'll get names and stuff together in the morning
when I first played it in 2012, I thought it marked a big step forward in how action rpgs are conceived and that everything was going to change. Instead, nothing changed and the game was largely forgotten. I don't get it.

The best people to play with are the ones who completely let go and enjoy the ride.
I'm not on board with the traditional "noble fantasy" way of playing.
I love it when people embrace the silliness

Really good eyesight + dyslexia
Ya I had a general idea, but didn't really know how it all worked.
Ok I will.
Ok I will.
Also makes for some really creative solutions to problems. Like when my sister fed herself to a dragon in order to force it to drink a Potion of Diminution. Good times.

in RL I wear beanies so much that my own mother once said it's the only thing she immediately recognizes me by
This is me in the winter.
It's cold here and as soon as I put on a beanie my hair is a complete mess so there is no point in pulling off the beanie.
If I decide on a beanie in the morning, it's an all day beanie.
then join us

I don/t know whether people will recognize me with a beanie, normally my hair is a bit longer and incredibly messy.

My hair is stupid. If I take a shower and put on a hat, my hair is forever stuck in that hat-head position until I take another shower. So if I make the decision to wear a hat, it's hat all day.
This makes dinner on those days at the in-laws fairly awkward if i'm wearing my Sunday best:
