Ideas for Characters (or Shamless Filler)

As of yet, I have only one Dungeons and Dragons character who I have both used and enjoyed playing as. That would be Nai’Atha, a half-elf sorcerer and soon to be bard once I level him up again. I have played as a Nezumi Rouge (Nezumi are rodent people from Rokugan, an Oriental campaign setting) based on my imaginary friend Ralph, but I wasn’t completely satisfied with the character. I guess he was too much like Ralph. I would like to try another Ralph-esque character, but I think I’ll make him a halfling or something like that and add some non-Ralph personality traits.
Nai’Atha on the other hand, is going to be one of my chief characters. I guess he is in one way an alter-ego of myself, but that’s probably something common in role-playing games. I plan on making him sort of the skills and information guy in the group, specializing in Knowledge type stuff (hence his Bardic Knowledge) and experts in stuff like Diplomacy, Disguise, Escape Artist, Speak Language and Decipher Script.
I do have another character I would like to try out. The character’s name is Bhe’Tor Dharnon and he is a half-drow Barbarian. The basic personality I ripped of from Tyr Anasazi in the TV series Andromeda because it sounds like a cool personality to try out. I plan on playing Bhe’Tor Dharnon as this big, scary guy who comes along on the adventures for the money and his own experience. I’d like to make him the leader of his own tribe. I’ll fill you in on his back story some time.
Another type of character I would like to try out is a sort of Byron esque type character (by that I mean bisexual) a poetic, mock-philosopher, sword-fighting type person. For that I picture an Elven bard/Swashbuckler. I’d like to play as this kind of character because it seems fun.
I also got an idea for a character while watching Braveheart. Has anyone who’s seen Braveheart remember that Irish guy who kept up a conversation with God? Well, I saw that and I should try that out in a character. This one character I have vaguely thought out. He’s going to be a dwarf, his accent will be more Scottish, and he will also have leanings to Willie the Groundskeeper, from the Simpsons.
I’d also like to try out characters because of class. Classes like Ranger, Monk and Paladin interest me, and I’d like to play as a character from an evil race as a Cleric for a good deity.

Welcome and Salutations

Welcome fellow gamers to my Dungeons and Dragons web site. I may go into other Role Playing games at some point, but for now I’m sticking to Dungeons and Dragons, mainly because it’s the only one I have played. Things you can expect to see on my blog are...

• Notes on campaign settings I'm coming up with. I plan on making an African based campaign setting and I am also considering making a European based campaign setting for my own game use. You guys can check out what I’ve got for it and tell me what you think. Expect these to be very detailed, I love making worlds. If they aren’t detailed enough for you or you want information on a certain nation or tribe or something please tell me and I will be happy to make the information for you.
• Monotheism, as a player of Dungeons and Dragons you may have experienced some prejudice by religious groups or something like that. Well, here at Writer’s Dungeons and Dragons Blog we (er, me) are trying to bring awareness to that the Dungeons and Dragons universe is not satanic (except for the drow, but they don’t really count because they are the bad guys and don’t actually worship satan as much as a reasonable facsimile). I will be using real monotheist religions such as Christianity, Islam and Judaism and how they can be worked into a campaign. To do this I will be making example characters. This will also include prestige classes, and maybe even normal classes.
• Fan art, by myself, but if you want to get your art on my blog contact me at . I’m thinking about doing some sketches of Menzoberranzan architecture. I picture a temple to Lolth as something like a spider shaped cathedral carved out of rock with lots of spiders and naked drow females and jewels and spikes and stuff. You can also expect pictures of some of my characters and the example characters I mentioned in Monotheism.

Well, that’s it. Hope you enjoy.
