D&D DnD – Figments of a DuTchess

After another hilarious and exciting weekend our Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) adventure The Old Empires finally has ended tonight. It took us almost three and a half years to reach the grande finale, with Gonadan as Dungeon Master (DM), Maeglin as Larryl (halfling Ninja), Aglanor as his brother Darryl (halfling Monk), Sihaya as the gorgeous Tonks (gnome Cleric) and myself as Magnys (human Paladin).

We ran around in armor and capes all weekend, waving wands and swinging swords and… naaaaaaaaaaaaaah just kidding! For those who don’t know what D&D is, please read Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 – perhaps that will clear things up. Or perhaps it won’t. You just would have to play along to feel the fun. 😉

We use lots of beautiful handbooks,

little figurines to clarify the situation,

but mostly D&D is about using your imagination, directed by dice, rules and common sense and depicted on paper.

Halfway through this campaign I started to make detailed reports of all sessions and will do the same with the last one. You can read these reports of The Old Empires at my blog Dungeon Dutchess. We are already planning the next campaign with Maeglin as DM in an Underdark Drow campaign, which will start in about two months.

This weekend we had an unexpected mystery player who was mewing in exactly the right spots, and immediately went to Aglanor’s side when he was wounded in battle and lay unconscious.
