Open Letter to Dungeon Master, John. Dear John, I have been playing Dungeons and Dragons since February 29, 2000, or for more than seven years. Ever since I got this message from David Greenwood. Hi all,
Anybody interested in learning, and eventually playing D&D over the Audio-tips chat line should join us this Sunday night at 6pm Pacific, 9 Eastern time, or 10:30 in Newfoundland. Randy Hammer is doing a great job as Dungeon Master. We decided to try a test dungeon, so four of us armored up and entered a tower filled with Hobgoblins and other nasty creatures. I have played D&D many times sitting around friends' kitchen tables , and I wasn't sure how it would work over a chat line. It works very well. For those of you have never played the game, the concept is simple. The Dungeon Master verbally describes in detail the dungeon world to you, while you slowly explore. All events in the world are controlled by an assortment of various multi-sided dice. For example, you might tell the Dungeon Master that you are going to try to kick down this door that is blocking your way. The DM then rolls several times. First to see if you are successful. Next, to see if you attracted any wandering monsters with the noise. Then maybe again to see what type of monster shows up. An maybe yet again to see how many of them appear. This is all totally transparent to the gamer, who interacts with the other gamers in the group while the world is slowly being revealed. Even if you are mildly interested, it might be worth your while to listen in and see what it's all about. And for those of you who are interested in playing, you should contact Randy at [EMAIL PROTECTED] By the way, you can access the chat line through Audio-Tips at: HTTP://WWW.AUDIO-TIPS.COM and make your way to the blind gamers room. Hope to see you there, David Greenwood. Now Phil: So although I know you have not been Dragon Master for the entire time when I combine all the DM's that have run the game in all these seven years we have yet to encounter a single dragon. True, one dragon did pick up and fly away with one of our party members, but this was due to his leaving the game and was not in a battle against the dragon. Maybe the game should be changed to Dungeons and Elves, or Dungeons and Trolls for we have encountered these creatures much more than dragons. I hope you will consider my suggestions with all the seriousness that they are entitled. yours truly, Phil _______________________________________________ Gamers mailing list ..
