I went to a Games Convention: it may have been Dragonmeet or Games Day. 

Andrew: you have just talked for ten pages about rules and mechanics...

Chivalry and Sorcery can go on the pile next to Traveller.  I read it fifty times but I never actually played the thing. 

The second game we played was called Melee. 

A First Level Dungeons and Dragons Magic User had, and for all I know still has, four hit points. 

I kind of remember the first time I was a Dungeon Master. 

A long time ago I wrote an article called All The Boys Are Marching Out of Step Except My Johnny¹.

Thank you again...

....for all the lovely feedback about the RPG essay. If you have the time or the inclination, do please tell your NPCs and plug it on soshal meejah. 

A bit of background...

I have told this story before: too often. You have heard it before: it is not always about me. 

I wake up too late but still tired.
