A warm Yorkshire welcome to Akrasia, from whom I have learned a new word, and Mark from RPG Dumping Ground, who is running an introductory game for his two nieces and doing a very good job of it by all accounts.
By popular request, I have got out the mulled wine and mince pies again, as well as some fine Stilton and Reserve Port.
We may go carol singing later. Hope you're all in fine voice.
How much do you pay for the J.W. Lee? We get some of their products here in the States and none are less than $10.00 a bottle. But, as you know, they are great, great drinks.
@Chris - I paid £1.79 ($2.91) for a 500ml bottle. Moonraker is a really nice ale - dark and slightly sweet, hints of toffee, you can really taste the malted barley. I shall be getting some more for later consumption.
@ancientvaults - you have excellent taste. My father, Grandpa Grognard, insists on getting his Stilton from one of two dairies, Long Clawson and Colton Bassett, both situated in the Vale of Belvoir on the Leicestershire/Nottinghamshire border. The Vale is held by purists to be the source of the King of Cheeses.
Benbo, 3rd level Fighter/4th level Thief - he who dares.
Galzor, 4th level cleric - mysteriously disappeared along with the Third and his coffin.
Zanurax, 3rd level thief (recovering from being partly eaten by a lion and has now gone to join Merlin)
Olaf, 4th level dwarven fighter, now returning to his clan halls
Merlin, 3rd level thief (called away on the business of the Thieves' Guild)
Adthar, 4th level fighter - currently both an Ettin and a statue
Elador, nth level magic-user - called away on special assignments but will act as mentor and adviser to the team
The Fallen
Galadeus, 2nd level ranger - drowned and then eaten by a shark.....aaaaaand he's BACK! aaaaaaaaand he's dead again.
What I'm DMing for 6 new junior players
Old School Links to Wisdom

That's what Old School means to me
"These rules are flexible and open to interpretation - designed not to cover all conceivable situations, but to allow good Referees and Players the freedom to create and play games of their own design."
from the Lulu download page for The White Box S&W from BHP
"This game is unlike chess in that the rules are not cut and dried. In many places, they are guidelines and suggested methods only. This is part of the attraction of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons"
Over halfway to 90, I started playing AD&D when the Police were a cool band and Punk was wild. I am a father to a ten-year-old Junior Grognard and have now managed to establish a five-strong gaming group made up of him and four of his friends, ages ranging from 10 to 11. Solidly Old-School.
High fives and natural 20s to you all!
Looks delicious! Thanks. :)

ReplyDeleteWow, Stilton!
ReplyDeleteYou don't even want to know how much I pay for Stilton in Idaho. Scandalous! But a superb cheese nonetheless.
