    I have not experienced DnD, and I have no interest in it.
    ESO will be my first MMO and it will be also last MMO. Because, I'm Bethesda version Elder Scrolls fan.
    And I'm not so fan of something MMO game.
    My playing time Mon-Friday UTC13:00-16:00 [PC-NA] CP over2000 now.
    I'm Tank and Healer main player.

    I have experience playing DnD in the past, but I am not interested in it anymore.
    I played AD&D back in the 80s. We had a really great weekly campaign going until the DM moved away.

    I'm not sure if I'd be interested in playing today. Maybe if we played by the earlier editions. I think the updates over the years have made the game super complicated and it seems tedious to me. And I'm not sure how into the "RP" aspect I would be. I would only be interested in playing in person, not with some modern thing like Discord or whatever.

    I played table top D&D and AD&D for years. I do not have much interest in that now...its too peopley for me anymore (managing schedules in a small group can be a pain).

    I played DDO.

    Some of my favorite games are still NWN, NWN2, Baldurs gate series (PC and console, new and old) and Icewind Dale.

    I have played Neverwinter; quite a bit. It has...not aged well....though I played it in beta and it already felt dated.....that UI is janky.

    Heck, I even played AD&D on intellivision......which was really just an arcade game about killing dragons with no lore or story to it at all.

    My cousin got me into dnd in 78. I was only 7 or 8 at the time. After that I got really into it when I discovered dragon magazine. Even in the army we had campaigns to pass the time.
    But I have played most theme dnd type games and still do. Recently I discovered a company that is doing a elder scrolls type and been working on that.
    I even did EverQuest and DDO along with Neverwinter. Plus some of the single player ones as well.

    I never played tabletop D&D but I have played most CRPGs since 1983 including a lot based on D&D in one form or another.

    I'm one of the nerds who kept handwritten books with character stats and notes on the gameworld including puzzles etc together with detailed maps drawn on graph paper which was stuck into the books. I still have most of them. I had a gaming friend at one time who was a professional draughtsman and his parchment maps were incredible.

    I focused on MUDs from 1997 to 1999 when EverQuest took over my gaming life, and then moved on to many other MMORPGs including DDO and Neverwinter.

    I still keep notes in books for ESO and other current games, including character levels, houses, odd puzzle solutions and crafting set locations etc. Positively no maps!

    I played D&D back in my high school days, also read the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings before they hit the big screen. Always been into dragons, maybe from watching Godzilla as a child back in the 70's. Its also why Elsweyr and Dragonhold were one of my favorites, second to Orsinium. I miss the dragons flying over the cities while questing in Tamriel, lets bring then back.
    Everyone is going in one direction, I'm going the other direction

    I have experience playing DnD in the past, but I am not interested in it anymore.
    Played D&D and AD&D in the distant past, prior to the invention of paper when we had to carry the rules around on stone tablets and the dice were large carved rocks.

    Migrated from there to table top games a little more focused on role playing, like Ars Magicka and Vampire: The Masquerade, where I knew the writers personally. (That is not to say I had never met and talked to the TSR writers)

    Consequently, I have never been under any illusions that mass market computer games are role playing games. :smile: They aren't. Period. The term "computer role playing game", or CRPG, exists to differentiate between a real role playing game and a computer game that pretends to be one.

    But... I take what I can get, and that is mainly single player games. ESO was closest MMO to being a role playing game until this year, but no, it wasn't really before then, either.

    I played D&D back in the 70s. It was fun then. But i am not sure if i could find a group i would want to RP that game with today. I do go to gaming places and play some games but my life schedule is not conducive to regular league type of schedule.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    I've played D&D off and on over the years, starting back in the late eighties in high school. Right now I'm in an "off" period but my seventy-four year old dad plays, so I'm not going to call it off for good. Who knows what might change when my daughter moves away from home in a couple years or later on when I'm retired.

    D&D since the white box (which means I'm old) I had a couple articles in Dragon magazine over the years and was a regular at Gen Con's until around 1997; sadly I stopped going because the convention stopped being about gaming...and haven't been since.

    I still play 2.5 with my group of friends through the magic of the innerwebs


    Fun fact Bill Slavicsek the lead writer for ESO use to write for TSR and produced The Night Below and many other amazing AD&D modules.

    At one point it seemed that most of the ESO writing team was made up of ex TSR employees.

    I played briefly a few years ago. I was really enjoying it but the pandemic squashed our D&D group after only a few sessions, then we lost our DM.

    I was thinking of trying to find a group online or something but I found ESO instead!

    Long ago we had a group that would get together twice a month at least and sometimes get in a coupe of extra sessions. Sometimes we would do a one night only scenario and sometimes we would jump into an ongoing scenario. When it was my turn to DM I always used the DragonLance Chronicles land of Krynn. I'm almost embarrassed to say for a while I knew the geography of Krynn better than that of Earth.
    I tried a couple of times to join or run a campaign on a BBS but those always seemed to fizzle.

    As an aside the four sided die is the only one that can cause full hit damage in real life. Worse than stepping on a leggo.
    and then the parrot said, "must be the water mines green too."

    BBS campaigns were tough. I know a few people who tried to game via echo mail across FidoNet or Vervan's Gaming Net but they never seemed to latch.

    __________________________Backstories:_________________________

    Ras Kalik the Vestige, a renown Redguard warrior; He has been blessed to save Tamriel from Molag Bal’s destructive Planemeld while reuniting the Five Companions. His further accomplishments after defeating Molag Bal, has been to stop the destruction of Morrowind, the Clockwork City, return order to the isle of Summerset and create a new king in Wrothgar and a queen in Elsywer. These events have made him a living legend and continue to lead him into new adventures throughout Tamriel, as well as into the hearts of many ladies including the Elf Queen, Aryenn. Over many years of adventurous travels, Ras Kalik had become a loner, until he re-visited his homeland of Alik'r.

    Alik'r and it's cities were overrun by the undead Ra-Netu and therefore he made an allegiance with Alik'r's own Ash'abah tribe. These Ash'abah with his help, cleansed the city of Sentinel in Alik'r desert and it's surrounding areas of the undead brought to life by the Withered Hand. After rescuing Sentinel from the undead zombies, King Fahara’jad’s personal bodyguard the Goliath of Hammerfell, who was given this name by Imperials in the region; was asked to assist the tribe after learning of the defeat of the Withered Hand to the Ash'abah. Kalik promised Goliath he would task him with fighting living enemies on the battlefield if he so desired. Goliath being a Yokudan warrior wields a massive sword in respect to the Ansei, a gift given by the Imperial, Cinan Tharn. Not many soldiers are able to wield double two handed weapons, but Goliath loves to get up and personal in a fight, so he also carries a giant maul, both weapons laced with magical flames.

    Jux Blackheart is a master thief that masquerades as a Bard at the Sisters of the Sands inn, with his younger sidekick Lucky Hunch for pilfering and gambling during this time. Jux was known to infiltrate any towns bank vault he came across and even delved into Ayelid ruins without detection. Kalik can vividly recall the night he met the famed thief. Jux found himself rummaging thru a slightly inebriated Kalik’s pocket for too long, on a full-mooned night and because of his greed and the glimmer of his golden armor in the moonlight. He lost his left pinky fingertip as a lesson! But in return, he gained a new friend, as it was his first time since a child being caught red-handed...

    Upon arrival back in the Alik'r after many moons of adventuring, Ras Kalik ventures to Bergama. Visiting The Winking Jackal, he runs into Jux Blackheart, who introduces him to the coin game Crowns vs Forebearers (Heads vs Tails) and Golden Dwemer (RBG).... Jux constantly takes gold from the unfortunate thru theft or gambling, his biggest gambling victim is actually his partner in crime known as Lucky Hunch the Gambler. Lucky doesn't mind losing any gold coins to Jux... as Jux saved him from Altmer slavers in Summerset, by stealing a key and sending him on a boat to the mainland years prior. Lucky spent years in slavery with Khajiits in Summerset and picked up the art of subterfuge, using illusion magic disguises and stealing there.

    Kaotik Von’Daemon an outcast, and a half-caste between a Breton mother and a Redguard father. Kaotik become a pariah due to his conjuration of Daedra pets. He was taught healing magic during his childhood years by his Breton mother. His father due to Redguard customs exiled him from the desert, sending him by wagon caravan to be a soldier in the war in Cyrodiil. He happened to meet Kalik while traveling from Alik'r, during this long caravan ride the caravan he was in was ambushed in Bangkorai by a group of bandits. Kalik by chance was also traveling thru this area on his Auridon Warhorse (which was bestowed to him by his friend, Darien Gautier). During this ambush, Kalik was able to rescue five hostages from the bandits. Kaotik was the first rescued, and Ras Kalik also recruited him to be in the Ash'abah tribe. These core Ash'abah tribesmen may never be seen together in travel as they partake in their own adventures but they always know what each other is doing; as they frequent a hideout in northern Bankorai. Their hideout an old Orc castle ruin, is kept watch by Nuzhimeh and she passes messages written between them, and frequently they also enjoy her company and her bed.

    The other men rescued were a Dunmer banker, an Imperial mercenary and two other soldiers, an Imperial and a Breton Knight, stating proudly he was an Akavir descendent. One of the Imperials, Cinan, claimed to be related to Abnur Tharn the Battlemage of the Imperial Elder Council (One of Ras Kalik's mentors in the Five Companions). Cinan Tharn was really Abnur's drunkard treasure hunting illegitimate son. He was caught smuggling artifacts out of the Ayleid ruins in Cyrodiil and the elder of the two Imperials was Tyrus Septim a retired Imperial navy battle-mage (now a Lycan mercenary living in the city of Rimmen) and guard to the Tharn family. As much as Abnur Tharn hated his half-sister Euraxia, he dislikes his bas†ard son Cinan more. Tyrus now a ruffian and privateer had been paid by Abnur Tharn to watch over Cinan as much as possible. Cinan Tharn a drunkard, loves to drink at least a quarter barrel of Nord mead before he raids various delves and dungeons for relics to sell on the black market. Cinan also plans to one day, run an illegal gambling ring... which he thinks will net him more gold for his wares.

    The Dunmer captive shackled to the Imperials looked familiar to Kalik from his time in Morrowind.... and he recognized him as Tythis Andromo a House Telvanni slave-owner and banker from Vvardenfell. During a rough interrogation to Tythis, Ras Kalik learnt why the bandits accosted him. The racist Dunmer was providing slaves as soldiers for the Three Banner War. The bandits were trying to negotiate a lucrative ransom for Andromo and the Imperials.... Kalik did not need any of this gold and he could never set Tythis free as he did with the two Imperial soldiers. His past involvement with slavery and war crimes, made Kalik's blood boil. He chose not to execute Tythis, as he figured the worse punishment for this former rich and opulent slave owner, is to now be an imprisoned servant for Ras Kalik and the tribe.

    Herzog Zwei the Genesis a reknown Imperial/Akavirri battle-mage. His roots going back to Akavir through his mother’s bloodline. (His mother is descended from the Akaviri, through Versidue-Shae, and his Imperial father met her in Hakoshae, while traveling) Herzog earned the nickname "the Genesis" from his father as a child, as he was his mother's first born child, and last, as she tragically died in child-birth.

    Herzog was seeking to purchase an artifact from Cinan Tharn, before their capture and was meeting Tyrus while in Rimmen, who introduced him to Cinan. This artifact being the Ayelid artifact; the sword Sinweaver. After their rescue and the exchange of gold to Cinan for the sword he decided to slip away before Ras Kalik could question who he was, and why the Akavir descendant really wanted that sword. Herzog was headed to Nagastani — An Ayleid ruin in eastern Cyrodiil. He had read in scrolls that the Sword would give him magical powers to meet his mothers spirit, if he performed an Ayleid ritual at an old shrine hidden there. Equipped with the artifact sword, he was off to start his own adventure but Ras Kalik, did indeed notice the sword however and instead sent a letter to Jux Blackheart (whom also was interested in Ayleid treasures), to attempt to find Herzog and acquire the sword. (*Azani Blackheart in Elder Scroll's Oblivion is Jux's descendant some 747 years later)

    And so the Redguard, Imperial and Akaviri men parted ways ... While Ras Kalik went off to Elsweyr to encounter the latest threat to Tamriel, with Abnur Tharn and Sai Sahan - - DRAGONS!! Little did Ras Kalik know a few people were awaiting him in Senchal besides Sai. A necromancer survived his attack on the Withered Hand, while in Alik'r. The necromancer known as Auriek Siet'ka is also following him to the land of the Khajiits and Cacique the Sage of Ius a Shaman mystic who has become attuned spiritually with Tu'whacca (a Redguard God) and Ius (the Animal God), after being burned severely by the escaped dragons in Elsywer, is awaiting his arrival also. Aurik is a soldier of the Daggerfall Covenant that was introduced to necromancy while in the military, even though this magicka art is not spoken of openly by most of the Military leaders. He came to Alik'r and worked with the Withered Hand before Ras Kalik intervened on their plans. After the defeat of the Withered Hand, he aligned with the Worm Cult, and is constantly adapting and perfecting his necromantic arts.

    After his journey to Rimmen, Kalik heads south to Senchal, in the southern regions of Elyswer. This new adventure will also put him on a path to meet a strange Redguard man. The stranger which was infected with an untreated Peyrite disease and also was the exiled from the Order of the New Moon cult, due to his sickness. He originally joined the cult to worship Laatvulon, the green dragon, mistakenly thinking it was the Daedric prince Peyrite. This confused and suffering cultist is known as Tsar al-Bomba and he is on a path to spread the disease. He was originally infected in Orccrest while recruiting members there. Can Ras Kalik and the shaman Cacique cure this poor soul, only time will tell. Little does Tsar al-Bomba know, that his infection is tied to Vampirism, and eventually the desire for blood will take over his mind. Senchal also offers Kalik his latest love interest... Aeliah. Whom he fondly led thru battles with the Dragonguard.

    After the trek thru the heat, tropical and desert climate of Northern and Southern Elyswer, Ras Kalik heads north to the cold mountain range of Skyrim. His companion friend Lyris beckons for him with a letter sent by crow...

    Movárth Piquine - a former vampire hunter (now infected), within the Fighter's Guild (and a secretive necromancer) was in Skyrim working with the Morthaal Guard. On a patrol mission he was caught in Frewien's ice curse outside of Morthaal with the frozen undead. Movárth's vampiric infection kept him from becoming an undead minion to the curse. He was able to use necromantic ice-magic to encase himself safely until he was freed with Freiwen, when the Vestige Ras Kalik broke the curse.

    Uri Ice-Heart - brother of Urfon Ice-Heart. The twin sons of Atli and Oljourn Ice-Heart. The Ice-Heart family are originally from Markarth but now reside on the Jerall Mountain range near Cyrodiil, with their younger sister Araki. The twins had joined the Winterborn Reachmen while living in Markarth. Urfon pushed west to Orsinium with the Winterborn Clan, leaving his family behind. Uri stayed behind with his parents and sister to live in the family cabin for safety, avoiding the Vampire plague infiltrating the Reach. After news reaches him and he hears of Urfon's death... Uri leaves and heads home and is seeking vengeance. Meanwhile, his sister has also moved on to Windhelm to join the Fighter's guild. He will visit his sister, once before going to seek vengeance and she will craft him armor mixed with ice, called Stalhrim armor. Uri fearing death, after his brother's passing, falls victim to the convincing talk of Movárth at a Nordic tavern, and will also becomes a vampire.

    I've never played DnD, but I've seen a lot of memes/funny videos about the classes, and they seem really fun to build, so I'd be interesting in playing, especially if it was tied into ESO.
