It was pretty good. We arrived at the island that we were bringing the couple from another world to where they will used a magical sword to open a portal to leave the world, then seal it behind them. The only problem is that the sword draws Mind Flayers to it.

I've actually moved four times, the first three were to the west Boston suburbs, so around 45 minutes south of where the game started. For the last 25 years we have been in New Hampshire, around 45 minutes north of where the game started. Of all the active players my brother is the only one...

Most of my career has been as a supervisor of financial audit teams - accurate record keeping is second nature

I have found that some 3E modules have adapted quite well. One that comes to mind is "Beast of Burden" from Dungeon Magazine #100. Ones that look like too much work to adapt I just steal bits and pieces from (plot points, names, maps, etc.). One of our players actively plays 5E with his...

For the most part. We began as 1st Edition and the only part of 2nd Edition that we worked into the game was the Bard Class (as the 1E version was unworkable). Over time most modules used were 3rd Edition (or higher) so we modified them for 1st Edition rules. We also have worked in 36 years...

Our group began in late May of 1982 and we just had our 36th Anniversary. Last night's game began Year 37, and was Game #1336 (Game 3 of Module #175). We still have three founding players, and another who joined in 1985. Back in our earlier days we gamed weekly, but due to life and...

Thank you Queenie. It is funny how one historical fact can spin itself into a whole historical interlude. Once I came across the fact that a confederate doctor at the Battle of Wilson's Creek was named William Cantrell it was just a matter of figuring out how Lawrence Cantrell and James...

Chips or cookies. We used to also supply soda until a few players (who never brought anything themselves) started to complain about the soda choices that we provided at which time it switched to bring-your-own.

Love it! A few from our group: If a dice accidentally falls onto the floor you can keep the roll instead of having to re-roll it if it lands on the highest number. Experienced players can begin new characters at 2nd Level, but with zero experience points. That way they still need the same...

Don't reinvent the wheel! Find a copy of the "Redhurst Academy of Magic" by Matt Forbeck and Shaun Abshur. It is a 3rd Edition hardcover campaign book that goes into incredible detail for a full-blown magic school the rival of Hogworts. I just checked Amazon, and they have multiple copies...

The longest line was actually at the consignment shop, but well worth it for the bargains, especially on Saturday. Fairly long lines for some author autographs too, but also worth it.

We booked late (early July) and still managed to find a reasonably priced hotel downtown within a .75 mile walking distance. Talked to lots of people who found inexpensive hotels within 10 miles out, and then paid the $25 to $28 a day for parking by the convention center (and $0 for Sunday, as...

My son and I enjoyed it. I had only been once before, way back in 1994. With the exception of Saturday afternoon I did not find it at all difficult to get around. At places where there were lines everybody was cordial. We played a mix of genres, including various types of RGP's, a LARP, and...

AGELESS Campaign - Chapter 145, “The Battle of Wilson's Creek” Sitting at the bar in Zakazik, the AGELESS group recounts tales of the collective pasts. James Parker then begins the tale of how he and Lawrence became acquainted with one another. “Lawrence Cantrell and first I met on August...

Chapters 144, September 15, 1882, "Egyptian Vacation, Part 3: One Very Special Star" Ruby and George returned to their hotel room, their large corner suite that overlooked the sea. George excused himself to go downstairs to speak with the front desk about the next day while Ruby changed into...

Our Gaming Group has been going for 35 years. We used B2 twice in our initial three years, and have revisited it twice since then. A classic indeed.

Chapters 143, September 15, 1882, "Egyptian Vacation" Part 2: It all seems like a dream. I hope I never wake up." When Ruby awoke the next morning, the sun was already high in the sky. George was gone, but Ruby wasn't too concerned and indeed he returned as she was finishing up her morning...

Chapters 142, September 14, 1882, "Egyptian Vacation" Part 1: "With you the adventure never ends" Standing outside their hotel, George was enjoying the beautiful weather, taking in the beauty of this Egyptian city while looking around for any potential complications. Things were humming along...

Just wanted to let readers of this thread know that the saga will be continuing at GenCon 2017. I will be running a game titled "The Magnificent Seven Outlaws" on Thursday night from 7 to 11PM. If you have any interest in bringing Mongo, Shotgun Sally Fox, Pamela Yeats, Angus McTavish, Tony...
