A Rainy Canada Day

[pyat]

We went out to mar2nee and Daniel's suburban home today, for some very old school D&D/homebrew, courtesy of their friend Grant. His variant of the system is marked (I hear) by very slow level progression, book keeping, and attention to small details. It was fun enough, though! I was playing a pre-gen 1st level Dwarf fighter named "Hammerfist," and roared and shouted a fair bit.


THIS! IS! SODAAAAAAAAA!


Battle is joined.


Claire likes dice.

There was heavy rain throughout the afternoon, perplexing the westerners, and the front lawn received a visit from a doe, who wandered off down the street after Elizabeth pointed her out.

Now, we're awaiting the arrival of anidada, nottheterritory, and sassy_fae. Depending on weather, some of all of us are going to see fireworks.

I've only met one fellow named Grant in all my days, and he liked old-school D & D, too.

Cute pic of Claire with the dice!

Oh come on, it's the future. Give everybody a laptop and you can have all the bookkeeping in the world. <3


Neat that you had a Doe, though too bad you didn't get any pictures. Do you get a lot of deer out there? I've never seen one in Sarnia.

D&D

Oh, you're making me want to photograph all my D&D figures!

Some are half-naked, some are half-painted, but I love them all.

Still.

After...yoicks, more than 25 years since I rolled a die.

Maybe it's the same Grant? He's from Saskatchewan!

We don't get any near my house, but Marnee and Daniel live in Dundas, which is a valley surrounded by conservation areas. So, deer wander into the town fairly often and stroll about.

Was there a reason you stopped gaming? :)

I'll definately have to add Dundas to the list of places to visit in Southern Ontario.


... Note to self, write a list of places to visit in Southern Ontario.

Actually, Kelowna, though he later lived in Vancouver, then Saskatoon, then Winnipeg, and now is back in Vancouver (well, Langley).

I love the change of having you play, you're so much fun. Cursig the halfling out and trying to save him. I thought it was too bad we got caught up in a battle that lasted most of the time - one of the things I like most about Grant's DMing is his storytelling. Ah well.
And one of your posters is right - Grant should learn Excel or something, so that the details are faster to manage. I confess to liking the details, as long as they don't bog things down too much.
Thanks for coming over!
