Fucking Bards

So apparently Erevan, or at least my portrayal of him, is enjoyable. Lance and Kristina seem to be amused by his antics and Shawn cannot get enough of what I am doing. He is basically a carny that thinks everyone that isn't an Eladrin is depressed that they can't be an Eladrin, or they're jealous of the innate Eladrinyness of the Eladrin, and also that they think it is wondrous to be in the presence of Eladrin. This amounts to him basically being bat shit crazy and goofy.

I think if everyone is ok with it, I might collect our in between session emails and clean them up a bit to put on here. They are entertaining to read. Also, you know, any excuse to pad my post count.

I really really enjoy the fact that Shawn is getting such a kick out of Erevan. Every time we talk about him, he just goes on about how hilarious it is. I'm really enjoying being a player, and I really like being part of a group and being able to goof off, and better yet, the goofiness actually fits with the character's background so it is actually role-playing and not just me being a goofball looking for attention...though I do love attention.

We've only had one session and the emails, but I'm really having a lot of fun with Lance, Kristina, and Shawn. I don't know the two non-Shawn individuals well, but they seem like cool people and I've had fun with them during the session and the emails. I feel like there is a real good chemistry with this group of gamers and I'm really excited to see what shenanigans we can get our characters into. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up the zaniness and not detract from other people's fun, playing him weird and wonky during play is a bit different than in the emails. Playing DnD is in real time and I don't have thirty minutes or so to think up an appropriate responses and actions like I can with the emails. Hopefully I can keep it up. We'll see.

I think when/if/once Lance gets his Dark Sun stuff going, playing that will be just a hair more serious, but Athas is like that. Although, I'll be playing a Thri-Kreen Monk or Ranger, and I'm sure there is some humor that can be found in his lack of understanding regarding mammals and their habits. Their deliciousness as well.
