This post is part of a
series of posts in the D&D 40th Anniversary Blog Hop
Challenge. The information in many of
these posts is related to events that occurred primarily in the1980’s. Since it
is now 2014, I can not guarantee complete accuracy with such a large passage of
time but I will present the events and information as best as I can recall.
Day 25: Longest
running campaign/gaming group you’ve been in.
The only constants in the longest running gaming group I have been in were Jamie King and me. We began gaming together in the fall of 1980 and would continue to do so until the summer of 1991. That was the year that the majority of the gaming group was seniors. Upon graduation, five of us had joined the military and would soon leave out for various destinations all over the globe.
Over the years, others would come
and go at the game sessions. There were
times that my brother Mark would play A/D&D with us. Our mutual friend Dan would join in but it was
mainly when it was something other than A/D&D. He was not fond of the class & level
system because his older brothers had convinced him that other systems were
“superior”. The stoner kid down the
street – I can not remember his name – would play but he was mainly into the
live action events. For several years,
the Carman brothers (Ray and Neal) gamed quite a bit with us and that was when
we played the greatest variety of games; Talislanta and Palladium Fantasy were
some of the most often played.
