Robert, my brother, and our youngest brother, Kent, and some friends started a new campaign my first year of college. I got involved when I was home on breaks and the summer. That campaign started in 1983/84 is still going today, and I still have the same characters in that game. My main character had … Continue reading Day 25: Longest running campaign/gaming group you’ve been in.
I don’t recall the first character that died. I think we had so many characters trying to be successful and have someone survive that we weren’t too attached to them. My favorite character Griswald did a lot of solo adventuring and had not played with the other players for a while. One player, Daryl, had … Continue reading Day 6: First character death. How did you handle it?
My character, Griswald, in my brother Robert’s game is the highest level character I have ever had. Griswald is a half-elven Cleric/Fighter/Magic-User. He is 10th level cleric/10th level fighter/11th level M-U. I think it was Dragon Magazine where we read how to figure the level equivalence of multi-class characters. The divisor I recall is 1.5. … Continue reading Day 5: First character to go from 1st level to 20th level (or highest possible level in a given edition).
I don’t specifically recall my first powerful monster. I did have a character, Griswald, meet a youngish dragon and nearly killed it, but it still had enough hit points to fly away and shout “Revenge!” as it flew away. The dragon’s name was Voriax (sp?). I always want to say, Vermithrax, but the is the … Continue reading Day 4: First dragon you slew (or some other powerful monster).
During a long series of play, we called “Dungeon Wars” (One big dungeon/cavern complex with several skirmishes and battles, and no clear winner.) The DM described a creature, later learned to be an annis, in a way that lead me to picture a Rancor. If you have seen “The Return of The Jedi”, you know … Continue reading “The Rancor” – A Cautionary Tale On Out-of-Character Outbursts
First, it is all how you say the phrase. It should be: “Follow Me!” in a dramatic, heroic voice, with a pause, followed by “And Die!”, also in a dramatic, heroic voice. This is the way my brother mocks my character’s ability to live through the incidents that eliminate 0-level cannon-fodder, er, troops. There were … Continue reading The Story Behind “Follow Me, And Die!”
My main character, Griswald Stewart, has a small town at the center of his lands. Long story short, he is a duke who succeeded his father, but his father’s generation of the former rulers of the kingdom were kicked out. The line of false kings let these lands become overrun with orcs in the past … Continue reading Mapping Hack with Index Cards and a Siege
