Roll For Initiative - An Introduction

Your group walk into the tavern. It is late at night, but it should be full of people drinking and having a good time. It is empty. Except for the barkeep who is stood behind the bar, cleaning a glass. He looks like a plump man (human), with cropped dark hair and his clothes are stained from what's clearly wine. beer and possibly food. He looks up as you enter and smiles warmly.

"Hello and welcome to my tavern, friend! I see there is a group of you, I'm guessing you're here about the beast that roams the village at night. Many have tried to rid us of our burden, but alas so many have failed. So you think you can do better? Well, you see, the beast looks like a human in the daytime. So it's been rather tricky working out what to do with the beast. But, unfortunately for you, you've rather walked into my trap...".

The man starts to grow larger, his body covers in a thick black fur, his teeth elongate and saliva drips from his new fangs. He looks at you and smiles, only now it looks more sinister than before...

Roll for Initiative.

Actually...
Don't...
I am not writing the start of a Play-By-Post game!

But, many of us that play TableTop RPGs (either in person or online) know this scenario all too well.

The familiarity of the tavern beginning...
Or being led into a false sense of security...

Anyway, I digress.

I am a "Roll/Role Player" of such games as Pathfinder, DND 5th and WoD (mostly). I have decided to start a wee blog about my experiences, characters and generally my perspective as a player, rather than from that of a D/GM (I am hoping to dip into this world soon, but otherwise I am firmly in the players camp).

This post is generally just an intro, I will start writing my experiences from when I first started TTRPGs way back when I played in DND 4th Ed (yes, really, I know I know). Hopefully anyone reading these will find them interesting! Not used to writing blogs so apologies for that!

Anyway, I shall start a new post for the beginnings of my TTRPG adventures with all the characters I have played and their stories (and mine for that matter)!
