- Possible TF Types include: Chronological, Gender, Monster, Mythological, Super Powers Description: Each of the characters is a player in a Dungeons and Dragons game. You may or may not have played in a RPG before and the reasons you are here are up to you. (Remember that if you would like your characters to know each other in this Scenario, they do not have to in any other) The game was to be held at Christopher Bishop's house, located in a smaller suburb on the edge of town. In truth, he shared the house with two room-mates, David Johnson and his girlfriend Emma. Surprisingly normal for being friends with Chris, they were out for the evening that the Dungeons and Dragons game was held. Christopher, who was a slightly larger man in his very early twenties, had invited most of his friends into RPGs for a fun evening of role-playing and dragon-slaying. Whether the girlfriend (or boyfriend) with no interest in the game was dragged along, there is always that possibility. Having either premade your own characters or asked Chris to make them for you, all you need to do was to turn up at 6:30 pm sharp with the appropriate snacks. Christopher had themed his living room for the night, with his fantasy models and shrouded windows. A large table was in the centre, filled with dice, maps and models. There was also the familiar Dungeon Master's Screen, and two strange looking novelty candles that resembled silver dragons that were breathing out the candle light. (Feel free now to introduce your characters as they sit round the table or arrive. Your actual D&D Characters will be introduced later) | |||

He had several books beside him, the arms and equipment guide was the one closest to hand but he always had that on him, the next few were supplements, all dealing with melee or at least non-magic classes. Though it didn't narrow it down much. | |||
He was rather a newbie to D&D, but that wasn't going to stop him having fun with his hat, err, character. He'd looked through the classes and settled on bard because it seemed like the most useless and best to play as, as well as most absurd. Exactly what could a bard do? He was rearing to go and full of Monty Python jokes to make the night even cornier. | |||
Hi everybody! (pause for them to say "Hi, Dr. Nick"). Sorry, obligatory Simpsons reference. Had to be done. I'm Greg. I work at Boston Comics over on Allston St, and overheard Chris talking about a D&D game. Well, my geek sense started tingling and we got to talking, and he said that there was an opening in his game tonight. I hope you don't mind. I've been playing D&D for years now and have played lots of kinds of characters, so whatever you're party needs, just let me know. My favorite class is cleric, so if your party doesn't need anything inparticular, I'll be happy to be the party healer. Oh, and I brought Mountain Dew, Orange Soda, Doritos, Cheetos, pretzels, and Chips Ahoy for snacks. (looks a little embarrassed) Um, I may have gone a bit overboard with the snacks, but Chris joked that you guys had veto power over whether or not you had room for another player, so I thought some bribes were in order. (grins) How are you guys tonight? He tried to play it cool, but inside Greg was almost vibrating with excitement. He hadn't gotten to game in almost a year, ever since his friends Jeff and Pete had had the disagreement over a rule in Travelers:the Space Opera game and didn't speak for a month. He was always tempted to try to get together to game again with them, but had to admit that gaming with people who took it THAT seriously was probably a bad idea. Granted, he was probably not much better, sitting here like a heroin junkie at a methadone clinic. He just loved gaming so much! He was really looking forward to tonight. The people here seemed pretty cool so far, as was Chris. He had high hopes so far. Especially the guy drawing the guy with the big hat. Nice job.

He arranges the snacks on a nearby side table and takes a seat at the table, taking out several gaming books, a cloth bag containing 30 or 40 mismatched dice of all "denominations", and a couple of manila folders that seem to contain character sheets. He nods around the room as he sets up. As he moves books and papers around, Greg takes three 20 sided dice and beings rolling them around in one hand, much like the Captain in "Mutiny on the Bounty" did three metal balls in the movie (I apologize for any details I get wrong when I "quote" that movie). It's unclear if the action is a nervous habit, a good luck ritual, or unconscious action. He's very rolling the dice around without dropping them, implying that it's a long standing habit. To Dan: Cool drawing, by the way. | |||
He liked cheetos. | |||
And everywhere you go, women are always saying: "Oh baby, your hat.... it's so.....BIG!" Greg takes out some paper cups and pours some Dew, offering it (and the orange) around the table. | |||
"Sure, you can think that..." | |||
The larger collection of snacks and drinks on the table caught his eye, and Cassander looked at the table as though he were trying to divine some hidden truth. "Did we get more food? You'd almost think that we were afraid of starving." he asked, looking around the table and finally landing eyes on Greg. "Oh, sorry. You must be Greg. I'm Cassander." he said with a friendly smile as held out his hand to Greg. | |||
Well, you know what they say about guys with big hats, don't you? After a second or two pause for comedic effect, his face became very serious and grave. They generally develop severe neck strain. It's sad, really. He grins. Looking up, he takes Cassander's hand when he offers it, smiling at him. Glad to meet you, Cassander. I love your name, if you don't mind me saying. Where's it from?

About a minute after the group has gathered, you hear a flush from another part of the house. Moments later, Chris bustles out into the living room. "Hey guys!" he says, taking his seat behind the DM's screen, which he folds away for the moment "Glad you could all make it!" "I see you've met Greg" He then leans over to check on Dan's character's hat. | |||
Sarah grins and puts the handbook under her seat. | |||
