Simple. One of the links has "perpage=40" and the other has "perpage=20". More posts per page means fewer pages.
Note that the thread ID is 4167 in both cases.

I've found my files from 1994. There are some tantalizing fragments...
For instance, this prophecy:
Or this threatening note from the jailed, insane wizard Skylltor Rhune, written in a strong hand:
Incidentally, Dylrath has had that rattling bottle since at least March 5th, 1995. If you ever want to open it up, I'll tell you what's in it!
For instance, this prophecy:
- Drawn from Sild'k's "Cry of Sight, Soul of Light", scroll 32, Currad 49-50, 63.
With permission of the Imperator Naz'Teth and the Seal of the bladebond.
- Ø
"In the body beneath the ring, in the time of the roach, the interceeder shall beckon the eye of light for our sacred hand. From the shallows, the dawn children of the dirt will claim my eye of light in the name of our enemy, the bastard son of zerthimon, cursed is his name and the whelps he has spawned! "
[section omitted]
"When the beast is gone and the collectors arrive, beware of them: the umbra, the martyr, the wall, the owl, the child, the knight, the beast, the song, and the bird of fire. The tree and the dog ride with them as they wish. Bugs and flesh avail them not, but the child of fear must rise, for the heaven's spear of hatred should not hold my love, my Eye, our Tool, that which frees me from my form and your cursed companionship, or the skinny holdings of the dawn children's eastern dirt shall be disturbed in years to come. For I say that my eye can stay their night, and the hidden thief may creep in darkness where he would forebear the light, thus losing the fruits of the dawnland. And thus we prepare for the child of fear, and mourn the beetle's fall, and curse our enemies."
Or this threatening note from the jailed, insane wizard Skylltor Rhune, written in a strong hand:
- From the cell of Baronet Skylltor Rhune
Palace dungeons, north side
Kindric
Dearest impudent swine,
You can be sure that time and the Stygian void has neither healed my wounds nor brought about blissful forgiveness. My heart still burns when I think of your unforgiveable treachery and your callous disregard for true love. Some day I shall escape, and when I do you will rue the day that you crossed my path just to meet my beloved Tivity! I have it from reliable sources that you have not yet married her. For this, I may allow you to survive as some form of easily consumeable plant life.
Yours honorably and in fair warning,
Skylltor Rhune, Archwizard
Incidentally, Dylrath has had that rattling bottle since at least March 5th, 1995. If you ever want to open it up, I'll tell you what's in it!

Well, no, and yes.
That is, I haven't got much from them personally, but I did locate three excellent things.
The first is a folder of printouts of the emails we exchanged while we were buried up to the necks in sand. It was the first time the PCs had ever agressively gotten together to conspire behind Piratecat's back. We spent the whole week after the cliffhanger trying to come up with a plan before we started up next episode and actually drowned. I'll give you a sample of some of that. We were really worried about how we were going to get out of this one.
The second is a collection of emails that Valdek/Glimmer's player saved for us and was kind enough to compile and mail to me. It was Piratecat's weekly game announcement of coming attractions. Eventually I hope to clean that up and present it, probably as its own thread.
The third is a set of emails Sagiro (Velendo) started at about the buried up to the neck point. He posited that we had played about 100 episodes at that point, and was trying to create a list of them. We were able to dredge up about 50 or 60 of them, but sadly, mostly unable to get them into chronological order. A lot of the episode titles from that list were obscure in jokes that seemed sufficient at the time, but are sadly lacking this many years later. I'll try to clean that up for you, too. If we could get the timeline together, it would be easier to recreate the story.
For those out there who are currently in an ongoing campaign that you enjoy enough that you think you might want to recall it some day, I highly recommend setting up some sort of game log. We had no idea what we were losing at the time, that it would ever matter to anyone but us.
Even a list of episode titles is something worth having.
For my college campaigns, as wonderful as they were, all is lost but a few slapstick moments, a few embarrassing deaths, one liners that I can't put back into context, and one beautiful photograph of us in character that almost brings back the feeling, if not the actual memories.

Gollee am I easily distracted.
I really was planning on having the next chunk of story for you by tomorrow night. But Madriel got me to thinking about the timeline, and I started working on the episode list and synopses and . . .and now it's 11:00 pm and I haven't even started the storytelling part.
Tell me--when I get this episode list together, should I post it here in the middle of this thread, or shall I start a brand spanking new one for it?
Maybe I will post it somewhere and then just put a link to it here . . .

Please keep everything in this thread! I'd like to keep all of our campaign stuff either in this thread or the main one. And I'm dying to see that list. Hey, email it to me today if you have a chance, and I'll email it back with additions and corrections tomorrow. (or, alternatively, I'll weigh in after you post it. Either way.) Thanks!
When I have a minute, I'm going to do some housecleaning in here and get rid of bumps. Don't be surprised if the post count goes down.
