I remember the first time I died
Transcript
Do you remember the first time you died?
I remember the first time I died. A senseless death. I think Robert Miles is trying to tell me the story is over or something like that. I have just made a new character. This is my third character. I have made two other for Robert Miles for his previous two campaigns. This is his third campaign. Every time we get together to game he has a new campaign.
Take his second one. I come over and he shows me a poster board with circles drawn on it. The circles are about the size of a coffee cup. Inside each is the name of a world. The alignment of that world is written in his secret notebook.
“ok where do you go first?”
I point to one of the worlds.
He opens his notebook “Chaotic good.” He reaches for his monster manual. Starts at the first page and starts flipping through until he comes to the first chaotic good creature. “Centaurs!” He announces with some joy, and a smile.
He rolls a D. “They like you.”
He rolls a D20 twice. “You stay for forty . . . three years.”
He rolls a D12. “You have five kids. O.k, where do you go next.”
I look at the dice. I guess I’ll have to buy my own if I want to roll. I point to another world.
He looks in his notebook. “Lawful evil.” He starts at the beginning turning page after page until he finds a lawful evil creature. Do you have any idea how soon Devils appear in the monster manual? They book lays open to Asmodeus.
Robert says “Lets go make some cool-aid.” Which we do, thereby averting disaster for my level 1.
