Many Wonderful Things." e) Picking up the daily newspaper to read at breakfast purely because it was the thing my PC would do, and solving the riddle of the module in doing so.   Plus the, "Oh crap..." moment that resulted from that realization.f) The Battle of Starmantle.  Seriously, the most epic battle in the history of fantasy RPGs.   Years in the making, forging the great alliance and driving back the enemies of the queen.  Filled a two car garage.  8000+ plus units on the field and within the sprawling fortified city.   So so many epic moments: the Huntsmen unveil, the charge of the treants, the wand of quench(!?!?!?), the cease fire, the audience with the queen's minor vassels, the headbands....g) Karophet's Templeh) "How can we tell whether she's really female?", "Oh, Rex know answer to that...."  i) Chasing the wagon through the streets of a burning Campanasalus.j) The Death of Tarkus the Necromancer</blockquote>
