We explored level 3 and found a portal to the mystical red planet! We're looking to recruit some mercenaries and form a "trade" expedition by the Red Portal Consortium.

An electrifying, heady session indeed! Thanks for being such enthusiastic neighbors. It encouraged our giddiness as well.Carter Soleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01286436801953647693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-90332305658374180662011-08-14T16:01:16.992-04:002011-08-14T16:01:16.992-04:00Sorry I didn't get a chance to say hello today...<i>Sorry I didn't get a chance to say hello today James - we must have been out getting food at different times.</i><br /><br>Very likely. One of my players came back to the table having bought several copies of <i>Weird West</i> from you and I was surprised to hear you were there, since I didn't notice you come in earlier. I intended to hunt you down afterward our session ended and never saw you. <br /><br />Ah well, maybe next year :)James Maliszewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341941102398271464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-21514100050154628172011-08-14T15:59:50.914-04:002011-08-14T15:59:50.914-04:00BTW … which player is Ian Baggley?

I'm one of the guys at the "other" table playing AD&D (the one who apparently passed his “listening” check at exactly that moment and decided to turn around and look at the camera).<br /><br />Our table played the classic Expedition to the Barrier Peaks over two sessions. It was great having the chance to experience a module I never managed to play in or DM “back in the day.” Even with two sessions we only got to explore a portion of the module, but it was definitely a memorable experience, and our DM – Kris Kobold – did an amazing job of running 8 of us through the adventure.<br /><br />BTW … which player is Ian Baggley?JBMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13915780514486101083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487871339000666216.post-51153804935158389912011-08-13T19:33:00.410-04:002011-08-13T19:33:00.410-04:00Sorry I didn't get a chance to say hello today...Sorry I didn't get a chance to say hello today James - we must have been out getting food at different times.<br /><br />Ian's artwork is fantastic.
