as in, I am now pacing the floor. I got my map ordered. I wanted it on vinyl or cloth, but 100 bucks shipping nixed that, so it's going to be on paper at 4 by 6. I have a sheet of clear vinyl the same size I'll put over it, so I can mark on it with china marker or the like...
As a distraction from recent events, I've elected to participate in this minor challenge to create new characters—one for each day of January—released a few days at a time. For the past six days, I did these characters for Dungeons & Dragons, Basic Edition (Moldvay, 1980).
I rolled 4d6 for stats (discarding the lowest die), but 3d6 (times ten) for determining gold pieces.
Recently I had to go through and apportion which of my father's dice would go to a nephew—himself a gamer—and which I would keep. I opted for some of the oldest dice in Dad's old collection, and will be sharing images of many of them here as I get to it.
