[QUOTE="JoeBlank, post: 1625534, member: 1806"] If you felt the foundation of the very earth move this day, if you saw the Heavens open and a ray of light shine down on a suburb of Atlanta, if a certain grognard seems a little more cheerful, you may have already guessed that our very own diaglo realized his dream today. At his home, a small group of four players eventually swelled to seven, and The One True Game lived. Yes, the master himself ran a game of OD&D. And it went very well, I must say. By way of introduction, I have played since first edition, but never played the true 1974 version of the game. Rules-wise, I am sold on 3.x. (My apologies to the referee for that blasphemy, and I won't use the term again in this story hour.) But to play under the enthusiasm and pure love of the game that our diaglo embodies was an opportunity I could not pass. This is my first story hour, although I have made contributions before. I invite the other members of the game to contribute here as well. Some of the characters are posted in [url="http://www.enworld.org/forums/showthread.php?t=92321"]this Rogues Gallery thread[/url]. For now, I am using the format of letters that my character hopes will one day reach home. The first couple of posts will be some brief background, and then we'll get started on the action. On edit: In my excitement I almost forgot to mention that while there were seven players, an eighth chair sat empty, a little back from the table, in honor of Ryan/Angelsboi. This story hour is dedicated to the memory of the games and good times we shared. [/QUOTE]
