Day 24 of #RPGaDay2022 is Day 3 of the drawn-out, piecemeal approach to a simple question never uttered without trepidation from the store staff, "Tell me about your character."
Today's section is relatively simple, "When Did You Start Playing This Character?"
A little over five years ago I was attending the 5th birthday party for Ben, the son of my college roommate, Steve. In a moment of reprieve from water balloons, water guns, and bowls of Doritos going into flight, Steve, our other college friend Nate, and I were huddled on the back of property talking about life, the universe, and everything else.
Nate dropped the fact that they had been trying out online gaming for a few weeks, with Steve's childhood friend Jeff', and two of Jeff's family members. Between learning 5e and the different technical issues each person faced, it had been an ordeal, but it was good to get together and not wait all month to drive for the titanic nearly all-day marathon sessions our group was known for.
I only asked two questions, "What are the tech requirements you guys found to have worked?' and "Can you talk to Jeff to see if I can get into the game."
Fast forward to August 1, 2017, I showed up on Roll20 with a pre-gen character from Jeff, Falgor the Mighty.
