I thought I recognized that name ...----Due to the screeching halt in game momentum that results from almost every encounter with a closed door, we've taken to calling the PCs the "Midvale Party for the Gifted".----Hey, I resemble that remark ...Dingleberry's right - doors in our campaign are like the old Swim skill from Chaosium's Stormbringer game:  a sure show stopper.  You might be a mighty lord of Melnibone (should be an accent on that last "e," and I can't figure out how to get one there) capable of summoning hordes of demons and slaying all manner of foes, but at some point you were destined to end up on a ship to somewhere, and were invariably attacked by pirates, and thrown overboard (just like Elric) in your plate armor, and you always had about 10% in Swim.  Thanks for playing, we have some lovely parting gifts for you.We're lucky to open a door, deal with whatever's on the other side, and rest for a day.  Of course, this last adventure was in a forest - notably lacking doors.  Notably populated with vampires, as well.Thieving vampiric goblins ... nuthin' worse.Warrior Poetedit:  heh, heh, the little codes that italicize, bold, and quote are gone.  Fixing goofy post now.</blockquote>
