We're talking about Dungeons and Dragons and the like here. If you don't know what that is, stick it in Google.

Currently we are playing a couple of DND 5e campaigns. One is set in the Forgotten Realms. The other is set in Earthdawn, also following loosely from the events of our earlier Earthdawn campaign. Previously we had been using the Earthdawn rules, but decided that DND 5e was a less cumbersome system. And also more balanced towards bards!

Currently we are playing a couple of 4ed DND campaigns. One is set in the Forgotten Realms, following loosely from the events of our previous campaign below. The other is set in Earthdawn, also following loosely from the events of our earlier Earthdawn campaign.

Before these ones, Alex DMed a couple of campaigns set in the Forgotten Realms. The major one was based on the the Bastion of Broken Souls, culminating in the fight against the ancient wyrm Ashardalon. I played my first female character - an acrobatic fighter named Tali.

We also finished an Earthdawn campaign DMed by Giles that we started in late 1997, involving an educational trip for a Prince of Jerris. My character was an Obsidiman Earth Elementalist named Kerac with a slightly warped sense of humour. I'd tell you a bit more about him, but then I'd have to kill you.

Earthdawn is a bit of a different system - it has opportunity for good role playing but the game mechanics get a bit wearing after a while. I had to write a dice roller specifically for it! If you haven't seen/played it, have a look at the FASA Games site. I used to maintain an Earthdawn links page, but it's 15 years out of date now. I won't link to it, but you can still find it if you Google Earthdawn links. I have also kept the old Earthdawn site for our campaign, though it also has not been updated...

In the past we also occasionally took time out to play a Gurps mystery series set in late 19th century London - the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.
