D&D

[cellio]

We had a fun D&D game this afternoon. I particularly enjoyed the way in which the GM revealed something interesting about my character that I didn't know.

We had journeyed to the land of the elves, and when the one who came to meet us greeted us, he addressed each character in turn with a descriptive (e.g. the wizard who does scrying was something like "Far-Seer", and the character who had been blessed by a unicorn was "Unicorn-Touched", and so on). I was last, and he addressed my character as "Dragon-Blooded".

I should mention that this character is, so far as I know, 100% human. And that there is a strong dragon motif in this game world. One character who died reincarnated as a half-dragon half-human (which puzzles all the high-level characters in the game world who know about it), and a dragon was integral to the founding of the empire and may still be strongly linked to it.

So I don't know what my character has to do with any of this, but it came as quite a surprise. My jaw dropped, and the GM seemed pleased by this. Eventually maybe I'll find out what it all means. :-)

This will be fun to write up in ralph_dnd.

I'm so glad that you enjoyed that. I've been planning it for a very long time--over a year, I think.

I very carefully chose the route I took around the table so that you'd be the last one I addressed. :)
