Sounded like it was ...I love a good session recap. Sounded like it was down to the wire a few times! 7 hours is pretty good, that's right about the sweet spot for me.(But 8-10 is cool, too.) Good fortune in finding some more cool gaming action like this!<br /><br />'a pretty standard dungeon crawl with a few twists':<br />This can be REALLY fun from time to time!<br /><br />'My character actually offered to help him thinking it would get him back to normal and that dangerous magic item would be gone but the others thought it best to destroy the item.':<br />Your idea wasn't too shabby, and probably would've had the benefit of NOT fighting the Baron(!), but the others probably thought it was best to get rid of it, and deny the Demons the opportunity to wreak mischief with the Sceptre again. Those Heroic Ethics In Action, don't ya love it? Sorta like: 'It almost noticed her until I used an illusion spell to draw its attention toward me (really good bad move on my part I thought).'. :-)<br /><br />'The creatures we encountered were Human sized but stooped over a bit, pale grey, hairless and afraid of bright light (like torches or a light spell). They were quite adept in the dark however. Anyone recognize this particular humanoid?':<br />The Dark Creepers from the original Fiend Folio, perhaps?(Maybe with a Dark Stalker[a leader-type among the Creepers] or two thrown in...)<br /><br />@blacksteel:<br />1E (and I think 2E) Orcs don't like bright light either':<br />And their OD&D brethren, too!(Holmes, B/X, Mentzer, Denning/Stuart Revision, and so on...).<br /><br />Thanx for sharing, BA!<br />Whenever the mood strikes you, I'd love to see some classic FASA Trek play sessions from Back In The Day!(As I missed that game, sadly...)<br />Great post as usual!

@Blackste...@C'Nor - Good guess. A possibility.<br /><br />@Blacksteel - I remembered because it was cool. And in this case, a one-shot, that was what it was all about. ;)<br /><br />Grimlocks are a possibility as well...don't recall the specifics on gibberlings too well. May have to look them up. <br /><br />The whole thing lasted about 6 1/2 hours (maybe 7). It was fun and as much as I'm not a big D&D guy it did touch my nostalgia nerve in a nice way.Adam Dicksteinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04840144928096089178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-10435106648359275892011-02-24T09:54:38.740-05:002011-02-24T09:54:38.740-05:00So you DID remember who scored the critical on the...So you DID remember who scored the critical on the Dragon! Aha!<br /><br />Beastie could be Grimlocks or Gibberlings or just the DM putting a little english on a familiar monster. 1E (and I think 2E) Orcs don't like bright light either so it's hard to say.<br /><br />It sounds pretty cool, like the old story pages on a BBS where everyone would add a sentence or two when they logged in. How long did the whole thing last?Blacksteelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16289298640828309072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2465863144787683153.post-3594049439690807692011-02-24T02:21:50.844-05:002011-02-24T02:21:50.844-05:00Morlock?Morlock?C'nor (Outermost_Toe)https://www.blogger.com/profile/01580315916281876117noreply@blogger.com
