Playing Pathfinder this Saturday. We had an epic rolling rollicking Forgotten Realms campaign; we all DM'd. I have recently taken up the gauntlet of that fallow field. Trying to tie up loose ends of PC careers before putting the old girl to rest I think. Then I hope to finally run an exclusively DM'd Greyhawk campaign. We skipped right over it back in the day, making it ironically...fresh.<br />king_grifhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06368298886941669740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-85270957738940315182017-10-12T17:51:28.507-05:002017-10-12T17:51:28.507-05:001988 was a good gaming year for me.

I loved the cover and I think TSR reused the artwork at least once since then. My group was playing Greyhawk D&D and Star Frontiers. Good times, then and now as that same group, plus or minus a few players is still together today. 32 years and counting.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15145928149633524472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7913319789564397699.post-33837937756700658632017-10-12T11:06:49.602-05:002017-10-12T11:06:49.602-05:00October 1988: junior year of college, but only the...October 1988: junior year of college, but only the 2nd month after a transfer a much bigger university from the small school I'd started at. I may have started dating my wife-to-be that month or soon after. We were in the same based-on-AD&D social circle, and the group opinion was that it was only a matter of time. I joined a 2-year-old AD&D campaign which included her. I probably spent as much time on miniatures games with the university gaming club as on RPGs.<br /><br />I didn't buy this Dragon issue, I had made GDW my favorite game company years before, so I bought Challenge. I made a short run at running Twilight:2000 at this new school, which only lasted the fall quarter, I think. I did buy Space:1889 as soon as it came out, and ran some one-shots later in the year.Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13103472744612438430noreply@blogger.com
