D&D Tiny Adventures

[manikus]

Is anyone playing the newest online offering by Wizards of the Coast, Dungeons & Dragons, Tiny Adventures?

As far as I know, it's only available at Facebook...

[Uatu]

Let me check it out!

I've been playing a half-elf paladin.

It's not as interactive as I would like, but I seem to be addicted to it.

[Uatu]

I have joined as a dwarven something-or-other (what are these stupid-sounding new races!?!?). I have also tagged you as a friend (well, you, or someone who has exactly the same name as you!), although their friend function thing seems to be off right now.

[manikus]

You found me. Isn't funny how so many people can have the same name?

Dwarven Warlord, eh? Is this D&D 4e? I'll have to look into that.

[Uatu]

I wanted to try a wizard, but... what-the-hella are these stupid-sounding races? And then there are tieflings (of course!).

3e and 4e just have stupid-sounding names for things, in general.

(If I had found a different manikus, well, that would have been quite amazing, since I including a middle name as well )

[manikus]

Good point about the middle name. There are quite a few folk (whose middle name I don't know) that I'm presented with many options and not enough info to narrow it down - especially for the friends I haven't seen since college. What is that, like three, four hundred years ago?

[Uatu]

Yeah - the worst is when you only remember someone's nickname - then you can only try to peruse entire schools' students (what year was he again?) or somethine else (er, hobbies?).

[manikus]

It's kind of funny (in a sad way), but I often find myself looking someone up from high school or college, finding them, looking at their picture, reading their bio and then never sending them a friend request b/c I've satisfied my curiosity.

[Uatu]

Ha ha... Weell, I usually make a friend request, and they accept it, but then nothing really happens from there... It may be enough just knowing that the connection has been made.
