[QUOTE="Theo R Cwithin, post: 4801131, member: 75712"] I saw [URL="http://www.enworld.org/forum/general-rpg-discussion/256502-gaming-group-turns-27-a.html"]this thread[/URL], about SilverMoon's group who's celebrating 27 years together (kudos, btw!!). It really got me thinking.... Today, I was driving into my hometown for a little visit, and as I rounded the 290/I35 interchange (which I hadn't actually been on before), I saw a vaguely familiar skyline greatly expanded by new buildings creeping starward, all backlit by a beautiful, beautiful fading sunset.... and strangely, at least a few of the fond memories that sprang to mind were of D&D: [sblock] - A homebrew, "[B]Spider Keep[/B]", a mysterious spider-shaped castle, peopled by (you guessed it!) Spiderfolk. [I]Oh! the gasps of horror when my players realized that the bolts of fabric in the warehouse wasn't cotton, but rather THE WEB-WRAPPED CORPSES OF THE MISSING VILLAGERS!!!! (OK, cut us some slack; we were only 10 ;) [/I] - the ever-apoplectic [B]Practon Fairmight[/B], "missionary and Determiner Talonate of the Holy Circle of Eru", a true cleric of the Light! - poor, bewildered [B]Eingolor[/B] (found as a baby on a boat in a desert), and his unfortunate incident with the mummy, the harpoon, and the deep desert sand. Gods rest his soul.... - [B]Antonio Logratch[/B], debonaire half-orc barbarian/sorc, who was constantly trying to keep in check "the orc within".[/sblock] I find it interesting that D&D experiences (of all things) would be so important among the memories of family, jobs, friends & girlfriends, and just mundane, everyday life. Why is that? Anyway, two questions to the community: (1) What do you associate with your fondest gaming memories? A scent, a place, a CD...? Let's hear it... (2) What [I]are[/I] your (nutshell, 25 words or less!) fondest memories? [/QUOTE]
