State of the Game: D&D

I play D&D and I'm quite fortunate to play a lot of D&D. I'm also VERY fortunate to be friends with a good number of creative and awesome dungeon masters, all of whom run their own games for my characters to fight and die in.

Just to give you a sense of scope, here's a list of all my currently alive D&D characters in no particular order.

***

Name: Rogor Alwin Stoneblood
Race: Dwarf
Level: 12
Class/Paragon Path: Fighter/Dreadnaught
Campaign: Fall From Heaven

To call this cat "unkillable" would be glib, since he's still just a mortal dwarf. Granted he is very tough to kill, but he laces up his boots and sharpens his axes just like a lot of other dwarves. Also, to call him a cat would be a mistake, since he's clearly a dwarf. Rogor is descended from a long Dwarven line of master crafters. He is one of the few of his lineage to take up arms and defend his Dwarven home of Khazak. He is not known for his diplomacy, unless you consider attacking and killing hostile ambassadors to be "diplomacy". His rage on the battlefield often leads to the mistaken notion that he is an uncivilized barbarian, but his taste for fine goods and opulence is just as honed as any dwarf. Despite his temper, he is fiercely loyal to his team and his Dwarven people. He is the driving force in the fight against the evil Calabim empire that threatens to enslave the fledgling Dwarven nation.

Name: Red Rock AKA "Hunt's End"
Race: Goliath
Level: 12
Class/Paragon Path: Barbarian/StoneBlessed
Campaign: Brigadoomed

Red Rock is a barbarian in every sense of the word. He was born to a particularly brutal tribe of goliath, thus his violent upbringing and perilous adventuring career belies his surprisingly soft spoken nature. Currently he is in the Feywild defending The Crystal City from a relentless seige, but he hopes to one day return to his people as the strongest goliath in the world.

***

Name: Sobek Marwan
Race: Dragonborn
Level: 2
Class: Bard
Campaign: Dark Sun

After the people's uprising in the now free city of Tyr, former officials of the previous god-king are largely unwelcome and shunned. One such official is the bard Sobek, who took a guard position on a the first caravan out of town. Sobek's life wasn't always so chaotic. His family was well-to-do, and his father had taught him the arts of song and sword. Still it was good to get away, even though his journey since has been filled with hardship and loss. Fortunately Sobek has realized that the best songs are about pain, suffering, and heroism. Perhaps he will live long enough to write songs about all three.

Well, those are my guys. I've got a couple more in a campaign that's probably on permanent hiatus, but they're not that interesting. You might notice that I have no portraits or drawings for any of my dudes. Sadly, I'm not an artist, so I can't translate the way my characters look in my head to picture of any kind. If someone wants to help me with that, let me know. :)
