[QUOTE="theredrobedwizard, post: 3265852, member: 21340"] 1993. I was in Fifth grade, I believe. My friend Christian and I were hanging out in his attic, looking for something to occupy a rainy day. We stumbled across his dad's olde PHB and we made up some characters. Christian was the DM, I was Dek (Magic-User). He found some old notes his dad had made in college, and ran the adventure from there. He said that I was locked in a prison cell, and that I had a knife and my fists as weapons. He couldn't figure out the damage charts... Christian: It says the knife does 1d4 damage, and the punch does 1d2 damage. 1 divided by 4? A knife should hurt more than a punch, but whatever. Which are you using? Me: I guess I'll just punch stuff. 1/2 is better than 1/4. I killed a goblin guard and a carrior crawler, only because of abyssmal rolls on Christian's part did I survive. We didn't play again until we got into Boy Scouts. Then, I was the DM and he and the other boys were the players. Their party went through 36 PCs over the course of that summer camp, but I still remember their original characters. Christian - Thaco, the Fighter Jon - Len, the Fighter Josh - Bybee, the Fighter Eric - Elric, the Mage Nick - Elrand, the Mage / Cleric Jason - Jason, the Fighter Yep. Lots of fighters. Out of the 36 odd PCs, I think 30 of them were fighters. Thaco was the only character to survive the entire week. As a result, we retired the charcter and laminated the character sheet. I think Christian still has it somewhere, with all of our signatures on it and "Summer Camp 1995 - Year of Death" as the campaign. Good times. -TRRW [/QUOTE]
