Major nostalgia kick!

[Shawn_Kehoe]

I was digging through old game notes today looking for my map pack for Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil, and came across my very first dungeons that I DMed back in '95, scrawled on some graph paper I got from a conference I had attended the week prior. I also saw my Ravenloft, Dragonlance and Vampire notes.

What suprised me was how many plot ideas I wrote down and detailed but never used. It's kinda ironic because lately I've been forgetting to do that - I keep reading new sourcebooks without taking notes. And hey, only one member of my original play group is still gaming with us, so maybe I'll take some of those untold tales out of the crypt.

Unfortunately, the map pack is still missing. I hope it didn't get thrown out or stuck under the cover of a book I sold...

Everytime I clean house I end up coming across my old notes and get the good old nostalgia feelings. I'm always amazed though at how much creativity I had for my games back in the day compared to these days. Another reason why people should avoid real jobs at all costs

When moving year ago I came across the character sheets from one the more memorable campaigns I ran 95-00: Adolf Heineken, Fritz Löwen and Jens Müller. The campaign was the Enemy Within for Warhammer Fantasy RP. All characters were a bit crazy on the account of having been played for 4000-5000 experience points, with all the insanity points that meant in WFRP 1E.

The pile of dead PCs from Return to the Temple of Elemental Evil brings back fond memories too

Those were the days

I just got back from Walmart, and I now have duotangs to preserve these old treasures a little more neatly.

Oh, and a new campaign notebook too. The veteran DM of today has been shamed by the extra preparation taken by the novice DM of 11 years past
