Havard,
Bob has mentioned you a couple of times. As to adventures; I'm not sure I can give you any. The time I was introduced was during the transition from Chain Mail to Blackmoor. I'm not sure which game it was I was playing. I only just barely got to play then had to leave to go back to college anyway. My other character at that time was called "Bad Rex". The reason I remember that much is because I actually still have the build sheets for both.
One of the biggest reasons I logged on was to see if Greg S. has heard from any of the other old players? i.e. Siemans or Rothenberg. I saw Dave Belfry contacted you and Fred Funk is long since past away.
Bob and I had a little discussion. I do not know if you know how a lot of how this got started. There was a game called Corns miniatures that I believe Greg originally brought to our little group sometime around 1969? It was a WW2 based first person, make your own map game with Greg normally being the game master. It was individual soldiers with some of the most awful vehicle/tank rules you could imagine. The individual soldiers were not bad rules and Greg made them work well. It eventually evolved into huge tank warfare. [American basement size] I believe people eventually just got tired of the WW2 senario and just evolved into the fantasy senarios for a change. I was actually quite resistant to playing the fantasy part. My motto was "Give me a tank, not a troll" :twisted:
If you have contact with Greg, please let him know my questions.
Thanks much,
Slither
