Now I often shout at my university in the Netherlands where I live that my teachers **** at English.... :confused: But this... :weep:

Onto your question: Find people to play with and don't play a CE Fighter. People don't need already to play when you start with D&D, as long as you know 1 person that can DM, you can find it all out yourself.

So, what you need: 3-4 people, 1 DMG, 1 PHB, 1 MM, 1 set of dice, 1 English Dictionary, the wisdom score to realise playing a CE Fighter is a stupid idea

09-14-05, 11:13 AM Check for online player finders. That's how we found the two guys we play with.

I think it was accessdenied.net

But there are others.

California is a very populous state, so you shouldn't have too many probs.

Dump the Chaotic Evil idea. Evil doesn't play well.

And yes, for God's sake, take time when you post to look over your spelling and at least make a half-ass attempt at good grammar.

You should never end a sentence with a preposition. :P

It's a common, but lethal, mistake.

I didn't end it with 'a preposition'. I ended it with 'with'. Just like I ended that sentence.

09-14-05, 01:11 PM I would also like it noted that I covered myself with the "half-assed" part of the grammar portion of my comment.

Okay, I see, it's some kind of grammar slam. I have corrected it:

"Check for online player finders. That's how we found the two guys we play with, a-hole."

Better?

09-14-05, 02:52 PM To go totally offtopic.. My english isn't bad, but I suck at grammar (as in: I know what to write, but not why :rolleyes: ). What's a preposition?

Ontopic: I thought there was a forum at these boards somewhere where you could find other people looking for a group. Is it still around?
NEVER play chaotic evil unless you want to die several times every session.

Actually, I believe he ended the sentence with what is termed as a "phrasal verb", and while it does look wrong, is actually right.

The same words that frequently function as prepositions can also function as adverbs, and often they exist as part of what we call a phrasal verb. Verbs that contain adverbs are easy to spot because the adverb significantly affects the meaning of the verb. In Churchill's sentence, for example, the verb "to put up with" means "to tolerate" and is a very different verb from "to put," which means "to set" or "to place."

Above is a very common example of ending a sentice with the word "with".

Don't worry you folks who gasped that he ended with a preposition . . . It is a common mistake :P

09-14-05, 03:39 PM I'm sorry, I'll stop hi-jacking the thread with my grammar non-sense. Hopefully you (plural you) will as well.

Sorry about the "Grammar-Slam", dude. I just can't help myself sometimes. Hopefully, there are no hard feelings. :embarrass

I'll get back on topic, I wouldn't suggest playing Chaotic Evil, under any circumstances or at least not until you've been playing for a long, long time.
If you like the "Chaotic" part of that alignment, might I suggest Chaotic Neutral...It's like the Diet-Pepsi(TM) of Chaotic Evil. Most of the fun without all the Paladins attempting to hunt you down and kill you. :D

I'm not sure how to take that - I mean, on one hand, I'm at the top of the list. But I'm also at the bottom...

//Had to be said.

There's nothing wrong with that in informal, conversational English. It's no worse than "Had to be said" having no subject. ;)

I think the prepositional problem has a lot to do with English being a Germanic language. In German, it is nothing at all to see sentences that end with their seperable prefixes. (Of course, in German, they seperate prepositions from seperable prefixes - as far as I can tell. I'm only a second year student!) Mitfahren/fahr (rest of sentence) mit, go (ros) with, Mitnehmen/nehme (ros) mit, take with, etc. I'd like to know when, in our language, that we diverged from our ancestors on proper preposition positioning. (Ooh, alliteration. :D )

Note: No, I don't feel bad about hijacking this topic for grammar discussion! In fact, I think the OP is actually one of our English professors playing a joke on us. :P
