Message: <blockquote data-quote="TheSword" data-source="post: 8311580" data-attributes="member: 6879661">Thanks Guy! Very kind words.It’s worth saying that Guy is an amazing DM from whom I learnt a lot.I played D&D as kid with a mate from school but stopped when he moved to the other end of the country. I went off to Uni and didn’t really see the game again until 5 years later I went down to visit my mate for a week and he invited me along to his weekly game where I first met Guy. Guy may not know this but I remember the session to this day… a dungeon magazine adventure involving highly trained rock hard goblin barbarians - a novel concept at the time.After an occasional visit or two I was invited to Guy-Con, a 48 hour game extravaganza Guy hosted in the summer hols. I remember amazing chilli - playing D&D at 3 am in the morning and Guest-DMing the adventure Raiders of Galath’s Roost. We never got as far galath’s roost but I ended up using the second part many years later.When Guy along with the most socially adept and invested key players form a spin off weekend group I started visiting for a full weekend once every 3 or 4 weekends. A lifelong friendship sprung up. A few years later I moved down to Kent and ended up house-sharing with one of the group. We made it through the dark days of 4e by switching to Pathfinder, then back to 5e when Pathfinder’s mass reached black hole proportions.Highlights of Guys DMing included the Northlands campaign where I played a skald who seduced a goddess. The Carrion Crown where as a good aligned necromancer I became a vampire somewhere around 13th level, but got better in time to reach Gallowspire. Playing a very pompous sorceress in Rappan Athuk! Slaying giants in some Yawning portal nostalgia and now about to embark on Sinister Secrets of Saltmarsh.Guy has the ability to absolutely captivate with details that bring the game to life. I’ve had a few GMs over the years but none that can convey so much weight with words. Making the sessions utterly immersive.Thank you Guy. You taught me everything I know (apart from making handouts!) Barbarian goblins turned into 18 years of gaming!</blockquote>
