Dave Arneson Memorial Event (New York, NY)

[Havard]

In short: it was awsome. There was quite a turnout, so much so that at times it was hard to hear over all the other games. Tavis ran a great game with lots of creative takes on the old Blackmoor dungeon and he did a magnificent job of debuting the Dragons at Dawn rules I put together. There were eight of us playing and every class from the ruleset was represnted except "Sage". I was particularly impressed with the Merchant character and how well that was played as well as other characters clever use of their stats like "Appearance" in gaming situations. The group made it past the Elves using some fast talking and slight of hand and found our way into the dungeon. There were encounters with some intimidating undead, a lot of passage exploration and secret doors and some not always successful negotiating with the bad guys encountered. We did strike up an alliance with some warrior women on the third level and had just gotten into a fight with some thuertirgistists when unfortunetely I had to leave to catch the bus back to schenectady. All in all the event was an excellent tribute to Arneson and kudos to Tavis for organizing it.

I am so jealous!
Sounds like you had a great time alright. Does anyone have pictures? I think it is great that you managed to make use of all these different character classes.
