The Hello Thread!

[Gronan of Simmerya]

One reason I'm here is about the story of "How the Cleric Started" and Sir Fang, which I told on RPGnet. I first heard that story from William Crolley, who was also one of Dave's first players. I'm hoping Mike Carr can help confirm or deny the details, as William admitted his memory isn't perfect...that was a LONG time ago.

Perhaps my "Interview" with Mike Carrposted here, can help?

William Crolley is not a name that rings a bell at the moment. Very interesting. Do you remember what sort of characters he may have played in Arneson's campaigns?

I don't know what William played. He was much more an avid historical miniatures gamer than a RPGer. He's also pretty quiet.

I did indeed read the interview with Mike. What I really, really want to confirm is that Sir Fang triggered the 'need' for the cleric, and that the thought process was "vampire hunter -> healing -> cure disease -> priest/cleric". I believe it because it's the sort of adhoc way things went, but a "Yeah, I remember it more or less that way too" would be nice.

William is a truthful person, but, geez, this was FORTY YEARS ago.

geez, this was FORTY YEARS ago

You make it sound as it was such a lot of time... :oops:

[gsvenson]

Forty years is a lot of time. Many things are hard to remember after that much time...

[Yaztromo]

However, sometimes it's easier to remember what happened forty years ago, rather than forty days ago.... i'm sure you have been there as well... :wink:

[gsvenson]

Yes, I have some very specific and highly detailed memories from 40 years ago and I often joke that I don't remember what I did this morning. And at work, I would be lost without my planner and to-do list. I have even been walking down the hall at the office and had to go back to my desk because I couldn't remember where I had been going or why...

My first proper roleplaying experience was with the Fighting Fantasy gamebooks (the "You are the hero!" ones), that we exchanged at school.

I forgot to mention that my nickname on this website comes from the Fighting Fantasy world http://fightingfantasy.wikia.com/wiki/Gereth_Yaztromo
