We had a thread like this once. But I think it was in the wrong subforum. And also, it's buried in time by now. But I reckon it'd be fun to have a separate, specific thread to discuss RPing in general, systems we like/would like to try, campaigns we're playing OTI etc.
My DnD group just got two new players who, thankfully, fit in really well. We have the absolute worst-best combat performance ever though. Mostly because all our characters are fairly unusual due to 5th edition's delightful lack of alignment restrictions. My alcoholic, angry and generally unpleasant Pally and our rather dicky Bard had just finished interrogating a....... whatever the Underdark version of gnomes are called, alchemist. And decided he needed to be.... dealt with, to avoid possible repercussions later on. It ended in both of us stuck in a grapple with the little bastard on the floor and due to our DM being as he is and how we rolled the Bard snapped his neck during a choke hold and I stabbed him repeatedly in his throat. Which in turn prompted our Lawful Good monk to go ballistic and break my nose. Later on we somehow encountered three caged cave bears who she of course felt the need to release, idealistic as she is. Naturally they all attacked us right off the bat. Had to pull back to a tunnel opening in order to bottleneck them and fight them one at a time. I tanked the ****ers while the monk, being a halfling and therefore able to occupy the same square as me, swatted at them, presumably from between my legs. Meanwhile our Rogue, who's sole instinct in combat is to bugger off, suddenly decided to spend a few of his I'll gotten vials of alchemist's fire, and basically went Molotov grenadier on the things. And ending up being our main damage dealer through sheer amount of alchemist's fires active at the same time. At the end I think he had to roll 10 D4's at,the start of every round. Afterwards we decided to eat the bears since they were already partly cooked and we hadn't had anything but weird mushrooms ever since we got stranded down there.
