Week 1: GiantLands

This week in class we were tasked with reading the Spirits Guide for the game GiantLands. The game is similar to Dungeons and Dragons, which I've never played before, so the rules of the game were a little confusing for me. We then had to create a character to use during gameplay in class. I decided to name my character Jonathan ("Than" for short) because I thought it was funny. Most games have these elaborate names that mean something special to enhance the game, but I went with something way more simple. I know that I wanted my character to be a healer because I had backstory already in mind. He was orphaned and while surviving on his own he was bitten by an insect that gave him healing powers and poison abilities. Another side effect of this bite was blindness. He now devotes his life to helping others in the game by healing them when they are injured. Making the character was fun to do as you had free reign over most of the choices. Some required a dice roll, but most of the time you go to pick and choose what your character looked/acted like during gameplay.
