Two -- (First, Good but Ancient) Playing RuneQuest the night before I moved from Alaska in 1981...Above Snakepipe Hollow, the PCs were sore pressed by foes; it looked like it was going to be a "TPC". My character was knocked off the cliff, and as he fell, he asked for Divine Intervention...to save the others from the foe...and I rolled exactly his Power. (Second, Bad but within the last decade) Playing Warhammer, Paths of the Damned-Ashes of Middenheim...During the trial, my character tripped in the Square of Martials, and, even with the help of the other PCs, repeatedly failed to get up...and was eventually trampled to death.Michelle Trouthttps://sites.google.com/site/estoily5/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061078008319562774.post-18312485060597181682014-08-13T02:53:36.150+01:002014-08-13T02:53:36.150+01:0012.

In (roughly) that same timeframe, I haven't re-read any old RPGs, but the oldest I've referred back to in any significant way is probably Swords & Glory.Michelle Trouthttps://sites.google.com/site/estoily5/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061078008319562774.post-69027400458381083682014-08-12T02:50:09.345+01:002014-08-12T02:50:09.345+01:0011.

I favor blue and white dice, particularly if they are "pretty" shades, because those are "my colors"...and I like having dice to roll non-standard ranges (e.g., 1-7)...but, beyond that, as long as they're not damaged, dice are dice.Michelle Trouthttps://sites.google.com/site/estoily5/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061078008319562774.post-47801518409254822972014-08-09T02:51:11.223+01:002014-08-09T02:51:11.223+01:008.

My personal website has a page full of stuff about him. I followed the injunction to 'make a character you love', and he is as real to me as any character from history or literature.
