pyatI would be remiss if I did not mention that last night, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
velvetpage kindly allowed me an evening out to go visitin'. So, I loaded up the Haunted Police Car with snacks and drove out to a spooky old house with a beaufiful garden, wedged betwixt Hamilton's largest funeral home and a Men's Detox Shelter. There, I played Munchkin four other guys, and uncovered an arcane series of connections...
Everyone knows Mr. Bitterguy!
1.thebitterguy: His achievements and pedigree are known to us all! He was the person best known to me. thebitterguy has introduced me to a lot of people over the years. Like, for instance...
From L to R: Warren (or Mike) and Larry
2. Michael (or sometimes Warren): Our host, a guy I met through thethebitterguy's Buffy the Vampire Slayer campaign (along with nottheterritory), about six years ago. He's a graduate of my highschool (When Delta's Hardy Boys fall into line / We're gonna win again another time!), albeit 7 years earlier. He went on to play in my Hackmaster game for a few months, and turned out to be good friends with one of the existing players, Andy, who is friends with Calvin at my current workplace. Michael is also friends with...
3. Larry Smith: Larry looked oddly familiar to me. Upon introductions, I learned that he was also a graduate of Delta Collegiate (Class of '85) and, in fact, student body president for two years in the mists of history. In yet another twist, Larry, who is a professional stand-up comedian, is managed (or something) by a former gaming buddy Greg Eden (Delta, class of 93), who was a regular at my RPG table from about 1987 till 1992, when he got too cool for gaming. Quipped Larry: "Greg told me all about that Star Trek campaign you guys were in." He also claimed that Greg had a crush on my older (or younger??) sister, the very thought of which gives me the Screaming Jibbliles. Still, Larry is a comic by trade. He may have been kidding.
This brings us to the final person at the table, another friend of Mike's:
He used to look a lot more like J.R. "Bob" Dobbs
4. Chris Cracknell ofghastlycomic, aka "The Hot Chick From Facebook" : Now, this was a curious reunion! Though I'd never met him in the flesh, he played in my PBeM RPGs back in the days of the Nihilist Glee Club BBS, about 15 years ago, and we'd had several conversation via BBS forums. He remembered my BBS handle and details of my Dalek Invasion of Fraggle Rock RPG, during which he played Lithium, the BiPolar Fraggle. He's since gone on to fame and (modest) fortune as a professional accordionist and web cartoon guy.
