And the palace/fortress on top of a giant boulder - Sigiryia, inspirational fantasy location!

Thats about right. It was painfully cold, especially on the ski lifts with about -15C extra wind chill. We spent most of our time drinking beer and playing Traveller and Advanced Squad Leader.

One year in the early 90's mid-west USA was plunged into a -25 F arctic blast with wind chill of -80F. that is -31.66 and - 62.22 respectively. Now, I was working for a cable company and That was all outside work. We had to work in teams of 2, with no more then 15 minutes of outside time.

I am glad to see you kept you priorities with gaming here!! Have you scoped out any game here yet?

The reason I got onto the site is because my 13 year old son has been desperate to play D&D with his friends but none of them knew where to start. Reading rules doesnt seem to be in the modern idiom (its not as easy as just jacking in to the xbox) so I said I would start them off. I started with the keep on the shadow fell in D&D4 but as soon as D&D5 came out I thought it was much better and converted their characters. It was tricky converting the 4th ed encounters into 5th ed on the fly so I bought princes of the apocalypse to carry on with now that they have reached level 3/4. I was looking for clarification on some of the maps and google directed me here which has been most useful!

Excellent!!! I am sure Morrus is glad for such accolades!! A quick note on the weather: I think the cool fall weather is soon to set in here. we had a rainy cold front move in after a gulf storm slid up and now we are getting weather about 15 to 20 degrees F cooler. A lot nicer for a bike ride.

I am into 3.5 and pathfinder myself. I was in a table top game in Columbia, Missouri. But an internal injury knocked me low. I am still recovering from that since 2011.

I really miss my friends back home. *sniff*

And another new person to greet!! Hello!

And I only need one more post to prove that I am real!

I remember the first time I encountered 3.5 (though it was probably 3.0). It did seem to tidy up all the inconsistencies that AD&D1 had had and I thought it was great. 4th Ed was a big disappointment but I do like 5th. It does seem very streamlined (I am an old C&S player (1st edition) so everything seems streamlined) and brings in some of the best ideas from most of the earlier editions.

Internal injury stoping you from playing for 4 years sounds bad!!

I did most of my 3.5 learning on a now gone sight called Mortality.net.

as for my injury, It was truly horrific. Myself of course, but also for my family and friends. I am still not sure I have survived.
