1. Why Mr. Puddins?
Mr. Puddins was the name of a character my brother and I came up with a long time ago. He was a cat mobster who wore a blue jacket and spoke with a thick, Jersey accent. I eventually played as him in a Planescape campaign. He made tons of cameos in other games I've played, and I try to shoe horn him in as a sort of Easter Egg in my games. It eventually became my gamer tag for Xbox, and the name has kind of stuck.
2. What's your favorite Edition of DnD
I may have started in 2nd ADnD, but I love 5E. It is my favorite edition by far, and I will cover most of the reasons why in a future blog post. Short answer: It has a lot of freedom for narrative and has been the easiest to teach new players. Mixed with the most freedom in character generation, it makes for a fun RPG experience all around.
3. Favorite class?
I like most classes for what they're worth, but I find myself playing Paladin over and over again in every edition of the game. I read too many comic books and want to be the hero. Paladins mix that combat heaviness I enjoy in a class with some fun abilities to spice things up. My heart does still beat for the Ranger though, as I love wilderness and animals, along with it being the first class I ever played as. I just wish they had more umph.
4. What is your Avatar?
My avatar was made by the incredible @GalenKuro. He does commissions ;).
5. If you could get an official supplement to an old DnD Setting, which one would you want?
My answer used to be Planescape, but the Ravnica book really feels like a Planescape lite, so now I would say I would love to see Dark Sun get the 5E treatment. It would add some cool survival rules, a psionics rework, and the thri kreen as a race! Plus it's like Mad Max meets DnD.
