Does anyone play Dungeons and Dragons in Armenia? Doug Muir is looking.

eveglass has kindly typed up (1, 2) yesterday's gaming.

Yes, there will be more tonight.

eveglass kindly typed up a detailed summary of Sunday's adventuring session. Poor Ivellios and that briefly-seen telepathic abyss.

The multitude of hominid species seen so far in the game--humans, elves, halflings, and dwarves--reminded me of something that pompe had said a long time ago, about the surprisingly large number of comparable intelligent species competing for the same habitats in fantasy worlds. In our history, homo sapiens sapiens managed to emerge dominant, the Neandertal remnants in Ice Age Europe and the unfortunate subspecies of Flores being the exceptions that proved the rule. Would a different scenario really be possible?

eveglass summarizes. Yes, I'm the half-elf sorcerer 60 years of age.

Today saw my first session of Dungeons & Dragons, with acrabtree as dungeonmaster. It is, as the BBC notes, quite an enduring game. I can see why.
